Summary from Goodreads:
Filled with magic, thrilling adventure, and sweet romance, Elementals is the first in a new series that fans of Percy Jackson and The Secret Circle will love!
When Nicole Cassidy moves from sunny Georgia to gloomy New England, the last thing she expects is to learn that her homeroom is a cover for a secret coven of witches. Even more surprisingly … she’s apparently a witch herself. Despite doubts about her newfound abilities, Nicole is welcomed into this ancient circle of witches and is bedazzled by their powers—and, to her dismay, by Blake—the school’s notorious bad-boy.
Girls who get close to Blake wind up hurt. His girlfriend Danielle will do anything to keep them away, even if she must resort to using dark magic. But the chemistry between Blake and Nicole is undeniable, and despite wanting to protect Nicole from Danielle’s wrath, he finds it impossible to keep his distance.
When the Olympian Comet shoots through the sky for the first time in three thousand years, Nicole, Blake, Danielle, and two others in their homeroom are gifted with mysterious powers. But the comet has another effect—it opens the portal to the prison world that has contained the Titans for centuries. After an ancient monster escapes and attacks Nicole and Blake, it’s up to them and the others to follow the clues from a cryptic prophecy so that they can save their town … and possibly the world.

Excerpt:
“There’s energy
everywhere.” Chris moved his hands in a giant arc above his head to
demonstrate. “Humans know that energy exists—they’ve harnessed it for
electronics. The difference between us and humans is that we have the power to
tap into energy and use it ourselves, and humans don’t.” He smiled at me, as if
I was supposed to understand what he meant. “Make sense?”
“Not really,” I
said. “Sorry.”
“It’s easier if you
relate it to something familiar,” he said, speaking faster. “What happens to
the handle of a metal spoon when you leave it in boiling water?”
“It gets hot?” I
said it as a question. This was stuff people learned in fifth grade science—not
high school homeroom.
“And what happens
when it’s plastic?”
“It doesn’t get
hot,” I said slowly. “It stays room temperature.”
“Exactly.” He grinned at me like I’d just
solved an astrophysics mathematical equation. “Humans are like plastic. Even if
they’re immersed in energy, they can’t conduct it. Witches are like metal. We
have the ability to absorb energy and control it as we want.”
