Elemental Masters - Miss Amelia's List
The year is 1815, and an American, Miss Amelia Stonehold, has arrived in the Devon town of Axminster, accompanied by her "cousin" Serena Meleva. She's brought with her a list to tick find a property, investigate the neighbors, bargain for and purchase the property, staff the property and possibly find a husband. But Amelia soon finds herself contending with some decidedly off-list trouble, including the Honorable Captain Harold Roughtower, whose eyes are fixed on her fortune. Little does Amelia know that his plans for her wealth extend far beyond refurbishing his own crumbing estate, they include the hidden Roman temple of Glykon, where something very old, very angry, and very dangerous still lurks. But Roughtower isn't prepared to reckon with the fact that neither Amelia nor Serena are pushovers. And he certainly isn't ready for the revelation that he has an Earth Master and a Fire Mage on his hands, or that one of them is a shapeshifter.

I mean, I finished it?
It was kinda boring, and then rushed the ending and made no sense. Probably the worst of the series and having read them all (and a few being my absolute favorite books), I feel pretty credible saying that.
If it had just been cozy, it might have been ok. But the summary is really just what happened in the last 20 pages, and the rest was just balls and clothing and shopping. Any action by and large happened "off screen", the characters had no growth, and even the shifting was boring. The villain was nonexistent and then a caricature of cartoon villainy.
I didn't DNF, so it wasn't appalling. But it was very flat and kinda shallow. And while early 19th century England isn't my historical specialty, I'm positive it was rife with historical inaccuracies too. ok, it's a historical *fantasy, so I can forgive a lot, but since it was pretty light on the fantasy, it had to make up in history, and it didn't.
Disappointed. I'm glad I didn't pay full price.
