Elemental Blog Tour & Giveaway:

Book Title: Elemental
Author: Kelbian Noel
Publisher: Diverse Pages
Format: ebook & paperback
Cost: $2.99 (unknown for paperback)
Pages: 262
How I got it: Author 
Synopsis:
Baltimore Land is a typical teenager whose parents embarrass her completely. She wants nothing to do with her family's beliefs and is convinced their silly rituals only exist to make her life miserable. All she wants is to be normal, but the fact that her parents are witches seriously messes with her social life. She's doing alright, with a boyfriend who seems to like her just the way she is and an awesome best friend who is fascinated by her lifestyle, but she's not the most popular girl in her small Utah town. In fact, she's kind of the town freak. When her boyfriend's ex tries to win him back, Baltimore's emotions get the best of her and she soon realizes her parents' beliefs aren't so silly after all--they're just the beginning.

Why Check It Out??:
One word: Witches, yes yes yes my loves it's got witches!! Why else?? I mean for a book geared towards tween & teens, what I have gotten so far is extremely well written and engaging.  I found myself sneaking to read it while on breaks at work & in between projects. Baltimore is pretty likable from the get go. And of course just check out the book trailer:

And..... there are going to be more books.. say what?!?!?!? Oh yeah, at least four more. And the synopsis for two of them are on the author's blog. Noel's Ramblings.

Of course we also want to hear a little about the author herself:
Kelbian Noel was born on a warm June night in Moncton, New Brunswick. Officially at 11:59pm but registered at 12:01am she technically has two birthdays. Which should mean more cake and gifts, but never really has. 
From a very young age, she loved to read. She found herself engulfed in novels by Janette Oke and L.M. Montgomery, but never seemed to find herself in the pages. At the age of 11 she declared she would simply have to rewrite them, and become the youngest author in history. But life was full of baseball, homework, best friends and boys.
Decades later, having studied writing in college and pursued it as a career, she rediscovered her hobby. She is excited to introduce The Elementals to the world with hopes someone will love the beginning of this epic story as much as she does.
Kelbian lives in Toronto, Ontario with her two children (where, thanks to thick layer of smog, Junes are much warmer than they used to be).
