      NOTE: I was given the book through Netgalley.

      This is the first time I review a book in stages, but I think it worked out well. Here goes:

      0-50%
      I read a lot of recommendations and positive reviews of this first book in the Akasha series. Too bad I can't say anything flattering about it. Yes, the idea is nice and with some work could be done a lot better, but...

      -The writing style is lacking. There's too much tell and too little show, from the second chapter on. Yes, it does pull you in with the first chapter, and the second one is okay, but all the rest of it is one big ol' mess.

      -The characters don't behave naturally. It's like they're being pushed against their will to do what they do, and that makes me really dislike them. Also, there's no gray with them - it's either black or white, and we all know how realistic that is. Take Micah for example. He either runs cold (suddenly hating Kaythlin) or hot (passionately kissing her) and neither is done with a particular reason in mind. Kaythlin acts stupid most of the time, trying to mask it under petty sarcasm and jokes. Not funny ones. Cato... well, he's like a tree I guess. Shows no emotions whatsoever. And Shawn is plain disgusting.

      -The idea of the plot isn't entirely clear. This Gaia persona isn't explained consistently. In the beginning, Kaythlin is told she's the only Gaia, but then we're told there's a bunch of them. I don't know, the concept just isn't entirely cleared up.

      -The romance is rather lust than anything else. And how could it? Kaythlin and Micah just met and wham! So, definitely not love, but then I have no clue what else to call it either. And if Shawn somehow forms a love triangle, I'm gonna call it quits. Seriously.

      50%-80%
      Okay, so I guess some things have improved over the pages.

      -Although Kaythlin still lacks a real backbone and reasonable personality, she's sort of trying. She is standing her ground pretty well for someone with a personality resembling that of a mollusk.

      -Micah had me almost completely disgusted, so 2/3 of the available males make me gag and want to vomit. Great. If you're curious, the training he administered her could've really violated her as a woman. You get the idea.

      -At least so far, Shawn continues being all hateful, brooding and completely disgusting - just as he was in the beginning.

      -Cato says Kaythlin's no different than any other Gaia (so there are more then, huh?), but he also says she's special. From my point of understanding, you can't have it both ways, so which one is it?

      And finally, 80% -
      It was around the 80th percent that I decided it was funally time to put this book down forever. Why? I can't handle rape well. Yes, you read it right - rape. It's sick and makes me want to puke. I am disgusted by this point with all of the characters. None of them means anything to me more than random words on a random page. They're stupid, selfish, reckless and incredibly weak to even be called characters. For example, Kaythlin has the power to sink an entire island, but she has no power to fight off a man who's vandalizing her body with no regrets whatsoever. Ugh. I can't believe she'd rather give in than die fighting. In my eyes, she can be no woman.

      So, I'm sorry - or wait. No. I'm not. I can't go on with this ridiculousness.

    • 2/5
      This book for me was a very difficult one to admit my feelings about. One one hand, Terra writes very vivid descriptions, and I found myself whisked off to various exotic places,which was fun, and her character descriptions were good...but the storyline itself had much to be desired. The relationship between Micah and Kaitlyn was steamy, yes, and then when it got screwed up I wanted more elaboration on it, but then it...fizzled out.

      To label this novel as eco-friendly is very deceiving. Eco consciousness was mentioned maybe five times in the book, self-sustaining, ok. Recycling, okay. But, being a Gaia and bringing balance to nature, with no real explanation as to the why, the how, the modus operandi of what she actually needed to do? I thought that there was going to be this gigantic explanation that happened, to explain away why things were going on the way they were...but there weren't.

      Don't get me wrong, I like psychological thrillers as much as the next girl, and I had a hunch from the get-go that Shawn was going to be up to no good...but the whole situation there I wish was elaborated on a little more, not just I am kidnapping you and then going to rape you repeatedly in various ways and then leave you on a volcanic island, only to be defeated by a sprained ankle. I wish for so many things to have been different with this book that could have made it fantastic, and I can only hope that there are improvements on that in the next one.
    • 2/5

      What I liked:
      the whole idea about people close to nature & how they could draw energy from it was interesting.

      the story started well and kept my interest as it progressed.

      the cover is really pretty!

      What I didn't like:

      the Seven were short on funds...so much so that they didn't eat too well most days, yet they could travel all around the world?

      I don't think causing an increase in the phytoplankton population can be that easy and even if it was, there are always consequences when humans think they know better than nature.

      Kaitlyn's attraction to Micah was too insta-love for me! She accepts everything too easily-kidnapping, almost maiming, almost rape, killing of other Gaias etc.

      How nobody, even wise Cato, could see how unstable Shawn really was.

      I understood Micah's reasons for what he did in the greenhouse & why Shawn hatched that plan too. What I didn't get was how Kaitlyn could forgive either of them.

      Water (The Akasha Series) by Terra Harmony

      I liked this book, most of it anyway. But it is first and foremost a Psychological Thriller from the very start. There are a number of other Genre Elements but this is a study of how Kaitlyn acts to being kidnapped. No matter what else the kidnappers tell her she has been kidnapped and that makes all of them responsible for what happens. How she is treated and how she reacts are all parts of the Psychological horror she's been thrust into.

      This is definitely an interesting read that will take many readers out of their comfort zone. I would not recommend this for any of my young adults living at home. I'm not even that sure about the maturity level of those out of the home. Most of the earlier part of the novel is alright with questionable elements in the protagonists decision to stay with this group to begin with. There are some spots where it can be argued that she had few choices-or at least believed she had few. There were plenty of places where she was led to believe she could walk away. I wasn't convinced that the reason she stayed was because she was afraid for her life at that moment.

      There are a lot of elements in this novel that make it a rough read at best. Kaitlyn is the only reason I stayed with this book. She definitely comes of as a strong female character with a lot of guts and determination. She initially comes off as a person who has isolated herself to a point that she has no relationships of any merit. She keeps men at at couple of arms distance away. Yet, it seems that inexplicably she is kept captive because she is drawn to Micah.

      As the story goes Kaitlyn is out skiing by herself without anyone really knowing what she had planned and she is caught in a snow-slide and buried, left to think she will die all alone. This seems like an unfortunate accident, but we later learn that she might be causing disasters such as this one. This is all a setup for her and us to feel better when she finds she's still alive. Feeling better about it lasts only a fleeting moment.

      Now this talent of her's may make her dangerous. Up until now apparently not dangerous enough that the people watching her are worried. Still now that they have taken her from this disaster they have her locked up and drugged and hindered with the excuse that she's too dangerous to be out on her own. Except at first they don't tell her that they just continually treat her like some hostage. Which is why it makes it hard to understand why her decision is to stay with these crazies when they offer her an out.

      It's possible that the offer isn't real. But she doesn't give it much consideration even while believing it is legitimate. It seems she has some major flaw in her personality or something is awry that's made her infatuation for Micah and her curiosity outweigh her safety.

      Add to this that she's been attacked by a pervert, Shawn,who mutilates Kaitlyn and promise to do more. I was really hoping, by her demonstrated force of personality,she'd be asking for the first boat or flight or horse out of there and suggesting they need to euthanize the bastard. Kaitlyn seems to have some character flaw though that prevents this.

      It seems related to that same thing that makes her fall for Micah- this is someone who has handcuffed her to the bed a couple of times.

      Aside from those things I liked the notion of the Gaia the seven and the Chakra. I'm just having no confidence in Cato and Micah and Shawn. It doesn't help at all when they seem so blase about what Shawn has done that he is still in the picture even after they have such compelling evidence. But, what am I saying? These are the people who have kidnapped Kaitlyn, for her own good of course, so maybe they shouldn't be expected to do anything about that.

      I did like Susan, but she's Micah's sister so I'm suspicious of her.

      Kaitlyn will need to work on controlling her powers and that includes the power to make better choices. That's not going to happen until after a whole lot of things go south.

      It's the last quarter of the book that gets really rough. I really do think that Kaitlyn is learning a few things, but it's all done the hard way.

      I'm hoping things go better for her in the future of this series. I will definitely read the next part.

      If you like Psychological Suspense Thrillers and mystical magic earth type Eco stories you will like this, but you'll have to endure some mature and rough parts, so beware.

      I reached about 20% of the book and I can't go on.

      I can't stand the main character.
      She purposefully buys an oversized dress once a year just to get touched by a seamstress. How sick is that!?
      You know, there are a lot of people with bigger problems than "needing human touch". And, incidentally, you could get out of your head and help them by doing volunteer work. I'm just saying, eh.

      She gets kidnapped because she has mad powers that she has to learn to control. Her lack of control, in fact, got her parents killed. At this point, a normal person would be sad, surprised, overwhelmed by guilt, curious… instead, she throws a bratty temper tantrum.
      And what can the guy do to solve the situation? Kiss her passionately, of course.
      Me? I would just have smacked her on the head with something heavy.


      I consider myself very environmentally aware: I recycle, I use my bicycle and public transportation, I prefer to eat organic food, I like to buy reusable, not disposable, stuff. That being said, eco-defenders are not for me. Going to recycle this book :)

    • 1/5
      I hate to write a review like this. I hate it, because I love books, and it's disappointing to me when I find one that is just this terrible to me. TRIGGER WARNINGS: Attempted rape, rape, physical abuse.

      The book opens with Kaitlyn snowboarding desperately ahead of an avalanche. She doesn't make it, and the last we see of her in the opening chapter is her fingers wriggling above the snow while the rest of her is buried alive. And things go downhill from there.

      When she wakes, she's locked in a mysterious room. She escapes, only to be chased down, threatened with syringes of mysterious drugs and weapons. And so on, and so on. She's told she has a great destiny as a Gaia, the one with incredible powers to help save the environment. She's also held down while someone carves a brand into her, bound to a chair in a walk-in freezer, and given a "choice" to join this group--one that she later finds out wasn't a choice at all since she would have been killed had she chosen to not join.

      Oh, but that's not all. Her "lover" attempts to rape her as part of a training exercise. She gets kidnapped by the guy who branded her so he can finish his brand and, oh, so he can rape her again and again.

      Not once in this book is Kaitlyn anything other than an excuse for bad things to happen. The only other living woman in this book is an extremely minor character, and so far she's escaped all of this. As for the other mentioned women? They're all dead and they all seemed to go through much the same as Kaitlyn.

      If you like your women in refrigerators then this book might be for you. But if you think they're human beings then give this book a pass.

    • 2/5
      This novel was okay, but there were a few glaring mistakes that made me give it such a low rating. First of all, there were about 5 grammatical errors, spelling errors, or typos per Kindle page. As a former English major, nothing bothers me more than careless editing. I know it's hard to edit your own work, and I know that even editors make mistakes, but there was an abundance of mistakes, and that made the book a lot less enjoyable to me. Other people may not be as sensitive about this as I am, but it's a big deal to me, so I detracted a lot of points. Another thing that really irritated me about this book was the fact that Harmony insisted on over-describing every single thing, which slowed down the pacing immensely. Other than those two things, though, the book was well-written and enjoyable. Those are just two of my biggest pet peeves, so I'm being a bit subjective with my rating. The characters of the book were all well developed. I liked Kaitlyn. Instead of laying around waiting for people to rescue her when she was trapped, she took matters into her own hands. I like my lead characters to have some nerve. Also, Harmony did a fantastic job in providing character's back stories. We learn a lot about the characters throughout the novel, and I really enjoyed it. She worked the back stories into the story seamlessly, and that takes talent. The back stories made the characters feel very well-developed. There were no cookie-cutter characters in this book, that's for sure. The plot was fantastic and extremely creative. I think Harmony has created a new genre called Eco-fantasy with this book. Other than the insanely long descriptions, the pacing of the book was really quick, and a lot of action took place. This book will definitely keep you turning the pages until the very end. Over all, Water was a good, quick read with lots of action and character development. Copy editing mistakes aside, I'd recommend this book to anyone. You're sure to love it.

      My Rating – 1 Star*I received a digital copy of this novel from Netgalley on behalf of Patchwork Press*Oh man. This book almost became a DNF. I don’t like giving out 1 Star ratings but alas this book definitely warranted it. (Also, this review contains spoilers because you need to know exactly why it is a 1 Star book)“Involuntarily introduced” means kidnapped. Kaitlyn was saved by an avalanche and then dragged across the world to a remote island by a guy that turns out to be her godfather (absolutely no backstory there).When she wakes up in a strange room naked she tries to escape as any normal person would do and is stopped by Shawn, one of the people that kidnapped her. He’s an evil bastard and he threatens her and tells her he’s going to make her wear his mark. She proceeds to kick his ass and beat up the men that he had with him, even though she’s never been in a fight before and has no training.The fight is stopped by Micah, who she immediately starts lusting over, even though he is ONE OF HER KIDNAPPERS. He takes her to his room and she thinks all is well until she wakes up handcuffed to his bed and not for a fun, kinky reason. For a captive, holding you against your will reason.She meets Cato and she learns he is her godfather and the leader of The Seven a effed-up cult group of people that can control the elements and they are trying to save the Earth. Kaitlyn is apparently a Gaia, or a woman that can control all the elements; earth, air, fire, water. And the reason they kidnapped her, broke into her apartment and put all her stuff in storage, instead of explaining the situation to her and asking her to come is never discussed. (She also later finds out that this group, made up of men of course, assassinates any Gaia that is no longer useful or says no to their cause and would have gladly shot her in the head of she said no to them)Being a Gaia and not knowing it is hard and apparently the Earth reacts to her and every natural disaster that’s happened while she was present has been 100% her fault. Meaning she has killed thousands of people unintentionally. (Again, you’d think this group would have tried to explain things to her instead of kidnapping her.) So like five minutes after learning she has powers she knows how to use them and attacks Cato. Micah calms her down by forcibly kissing her.After being handcuffed to Micah’s bed again (still not for the fun reason) and tries to escape she almost kills another person and dies herself and Shawn is a creepy jerk that intimidates her every chance he gets.After learning about The Seven and her powers and what they do she decides to stay and train with them! Never mind that they kidnapped her, or physically abused her, or that she woke up more than once handcuffed to a bed. No she wants to help them save the Earth. And then she jumps into bed with Micah. Cause ya know, they aren’t her kidnappers anymore, they are her team.She starts training with them and cohabitating with Micah already and though she has voiced her concerns about Shawn and his behavior, her opinion is completely ignored and Shawn hangs around and attacks her and carves a symbol into her shoulder with a special athame that will never let her entirely heal. Then Cato and Micah start to think “hmmm yea maybe Kaitlyn was right in her worries about Shawn…”Cato then decides her training needs to be more intense so they tie her up in a deep freezer to “distract” her and want to her make a plant seed grow. When she accomplishes that, they lock her and Micah in a greenhouse that has too much oxygen in it and she try to even house the levels. And as her distraction, Micah, the guy she’s in a relationship with, tries to RAPE HER. Yea, you read that right. Because attempted rape is a tried and true training technique. Oh and everyone was watching, including Shawn.She gets mad at Micah (rightfully) but then gets sent away on a mission by Cato because her elemental temper tantrums are destroying the island and all the property. And who does she go on this mission with? Shawn, the guy that attacked her with a knife and Micah, the guy that tried to rape her.Oh but a day into the mission, Micah gives her jewelry and apologizes and she starts rationalizing the attempted rape and then all is forgiven. Because jewelry is exactly what a man gives when he wants to be forgiven when he tries to rape his girlfriend.Then the next day she is kidnapped again by Shawn and he brutally rapes her (once with a candlestick), abuses her, and holds her for two months. A few times though he is “nice” and she laughs at his jokes and almost gets off by his massages. And you know how she escapes?! She gets up and leaves. That’s right! LEAVES. ON HER OWN. She’s like “eff this, I’m out!” and Shawn can’t chase after her because his ankle brace is tangle up in a blanket.And at the end you find out she’s pregnant and you don’t know if it’s by the guy that tried to rape her or by the guy that actually raped her.This book seriously offended me and offending me is hard to do. Kaitlyn is physically, mentally, and emotionally abused over and over and nothing is done about it. Almost every page is a trigger. Not to mention the fact that she is in her 20’s and has the maturity of a 13 year old. Or that she is victim blamed. This is seriously one of the most sexist books I’ve ever read. Kaitlyn makes Bella Swan look like a militant feminist. I’m a little upset that this book was written by a woman.I will not continue this series, and I don’t recommend to anyone, though feel free to form your own opinion about that book. I did see a lot of positive reviews on goodreads (that totally boggles my mind, but to each their own, right?)Read this review and more at Punk's House of Books
