Today I'm excited to be taking part in the blog tour for Christie Rich's book Five (Elemental Enmity Book I) hosted by:
Have you heard of Christie's books?
Rayla Tate’s life is about to turn vertical…again. As if it wasn’t bad enough her mother disappeared under questionable circumstances leaving Rayla to be raised by her aunt in a horrendously small town. Her overprotective guardian is determined to ruin Rayla’s life. She refuses to let Rayla out of her sight or out of the state. Provincial living might be what her aunt demands of her purposely sheltered niece; but, Rayla has other ideas. In a desperate attempt to follow her dreams she flees the safety of her home and runs away to college with her best friend toward a bright future in the art world.
However, excitement over her newfound freedom turns into terror when she is chased by a mysterious stranger on her way to school. When his motorcycle suddenly morphs into a fire-breathing pegasus, Rayla questions her sanity. Worse, the man riding next to her stirs a burning desire in her soul she has never known or could have ever imagined. Using all the will she owns, she manages to resist the compulsion she feels; yet, as he disappears into the night, she is certain he hasn't gone far.
Rayla quickly dismisses the encounter to her overactive imagination. She is determined to settle into her new life, yet the images and feelings of that night still haunt her. To make matters worse, her aunt seems to be in on the act, insisting that Rayla will soon be hunted by a pack of fae lords for a power over the elements she never knew she possessed—a power that could change the world. Quicker than she ever thought possible, she finds herself surrounded by stunning men that all seem determined to win her heart. Why does she feel drawn to each one of them? More importantly, what dark power do they hold over her? Rayla must quickly learn to fend off these beautiful and seductive pursuers using whatever means necessary or find herself lost to the fae world forever

For my stop today, Christie has agreed to answer a burning questions: If you could pick one super power to have, what would it be?
And this is what she said!
Thanks for having me here today, Brooke! When I first read this topic, I laughed. You’d think it would be easy, but with so many amazing superpowers out there, how can a girl pick just one?
Even though it was extremely difficult, I figured it out. I’d love to be able to drift! You may not know what that is, but it’s basically teleportation. In my Elemental Enmity series the fae can get about by traveling on a matter stream. Pretty cool, huh? I’d love to be able to ditch a harsh winter day in lieu of a fine tropical afternoon.
Just think about that. One moment you are freezing your tushy off then the next you’re warming yourself under the Caribbean sun. I could think of worse things. Oh, and how would it be to be able to avoid traffic? I could skip my commute. I could save loads of time and maybe even a few people along the way. Yep teleportation is the coolest power I can imagine possessing. It’s way better than mind reading. That sort of thing can only get you into trouble!
Thanks so much for stopping by today, Christie! It's been so great learning about your chosen super power! And good luck on the rest of your tour!
I grew up daydreaming about fairytales, and my love for discovering new worlds has never died. I am not one of those writers who always knew I would write. I thought that was what other people did until one day a few years ago, I took a challenge from a friend and typed my first words. My journey has been wonderful, and I cannot imagine a day where I would ever give up writing now. My love for reading is what fueled my imagination in the first place and still does. When I am not writing or reading, I am enjoying family time with my husband and two children. We live in a quiet community under the Wellsville mountains in Utah, and I am so thankful for the rich life I have been blessed with.
Thanks, Brooke! Oh, and I just wanted to mention that Five is free for download on all the major US sites. It's even free right now in the UK! I hope you all will grab a copy and enjoy a read on me :)
