#BookReview: Seasons of the Storm (Seasons of the Storm #1) by Elle Cosimano






Synopsis: One cold, crisp night, Jack Sommers was faced with a choice—live forever according to the ancient, magical rules of Gaia, or die.

Jack chose to live, and in exchange, he became a Winter—an immortal physical embodiment of the season on Earth. Every year, he must hunt the Season who comes before him. Summer kills Spring. Autumn kills Summer. Winter kills Autumn. And Spring kills Winter.

Jack and Fleur, a Winter and a Spring, fall for each other against all odds. To be together, they’ll have to escape the cycle that’s been forcing them apart. But their creator won’t let them go without a fight.

My Review: This one was bad. I am sorry to say that but it was super confusing and just not good.  The story was very clunky and all over the place and what it says in the synopsis is kind of not what you get.  I don't even know what would have saved this one.  But it was so not for me at all.
