I picked up the first book in the series, Priceless on a whim a few years ago. It was on sale for $0.79, I liked the cover and the blurb drew me in. I hadn't really read any urban fantasy prior to it but I've always loved fantasy and the idea of a more grown up fantasy grabbed me. And it was perfect. Everything I expected and so much more. I proceeded to demolish the remaining available books and Shannon Mayer has fast become one of my favourite authors. All of the books are full of fast paced, well written plots, hysterically funny lines and lots of heart. The characters worm their way under your skin until you're cheering with them at their successes and sobbing with them at their failures. Couldn't recommend the series more highly and will certainly be rereading many many times.

SPOILERS FOR THIS BOOK AND THE REST OF THE SERIES. Hey Giselle! Don't you just get around. Although, I suppose the same could be of Milly. Caleb is a jerk. Rylee can do better. Aww Dox.

Jeez so much information. Lark was banished because of Rylee?
Fucking Faris. Has his bloody hands in every pie. Even this far back - trying to seduce Milly - I wonder when he actually caught her in his web.

Hey that answers that question. Where do the supernatural bodies go when they die? Lark. It's really amusing how it all connects and entwines and makes a big ass puzzle.

Jeez it's like reading about Pamela. The questions. Trying to be helpful but finding you've accidentally alerted everyone to your presence.

Too much for my brain to process. ( )

Like all of the Rylee Adamson novels, I enjoyed this novella. Fret with danger and suspense we get a brief glimpse into the young life of Rylee & how she met Dox. I'm looking forward to see how Lark will be brought back into the series. ( )

Fantastic! If you are a fan of Amber Lynn Natusch, Rachel Caine, Patricia Briggs or Karen Marie Moning then you are going to love this book! It's fast, witty and fun. Lots of big uglies and of course a tough chick heroine. 🙂 ( )

Elementally Priceless by Shannon Mayer is a fun novella serving as a prequel to both her Rylee Adamson Tracker series and her Elemental series. It tells the story of Rylee's first salvage on her own and skillfully interweaves Larkspur, the star of the Elemental series, into the tale.

A very light and quick paced story that serves as a good "palate cleanser" between heavier books. I loved it and will now add the Elemental series to my collection. ( )

Prequel to the Rylee Adamson series that takes us back to Rylee’s first attempt to Track on her own at the age of 19. This is probably not a great place to start as it helps if you already know more about Rylee’s abilities before reading this story.

The series starts off focusing on Tracking missing children with a back story of a powerful vampire who wants her bound to him without us or Rylee knowing why. As the series progresses—I’d just finished reading Shadowed Threads (book 4) before starting this—more of the back story moves to the forefront.

This particular story not only gives us an adventure with Rylee’s first time out on her own, but we meet Larkspur, an elemental who will apparently be important by the end of the series, as is the child they are Tracking. The actions and situations in this story made things somewhat clearer, at least to where I’m at in the series. The story switches back and forth between Rylee’s and Larkspur’s first person point of view.

I love the action and the philosophical aspects that are a big part of the series, of doing what you know in your heart is right, even though the consequences could destroy you in some way.

If you’re enjoying the series, you will definitely like this story. ( )
