5.0 out of 5 stars Underwater World, April 23, 2012 By cmoyablock - See all my reviews Dagger (Brothers of Element Series) (Kindle Edition) This book is perfect for anyone who loves the ocean and romance. The author did her research and built a dynamic beautiful world of marine shapeshifters living their lives unbeknownst to the humans above..

From the Author

Hello reader. My name is Cora Blu and Brothers of Element Series, is very special to me. As a young girl I was influenced by Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom and nature in general.
This story evolved from watching the koi in my backyard pond. The pump came undone and the largest fish which I refer to as Jacque Costeau, because he has a large red spot on his head, swam in the strong under water current. The other fish waited a few feet behind him, as if he were the king.
My story began. After visiting the Atlantic, I fell in love with Pawleys Island South Carolina and the beach and it's people. That beach became my writing zone and the lovely people of Pawleys Island became friends.
I hope you enjoy the series. The tiger sharks are watching over their source of shifting while protecting the ocean and dealing with the day to day issues, finnig, stolen shipments, debris from humans settling on the ocean floor. Chemicals in the ocean, while living as shape shifters, tiger sharkd, whales, dolphins and other species will pop as the series continu.
Look for book II to deal with the ramifications of the tsunami in Japan.

Sincerely, Cora Blu corablu.com/blog.

5.0 out of 5 stars I think I 'm in Love

When I first started the book,I thought what is this about is this lady Drew with this man name weird. Yet, as I continued to read I was drawn more and more to this book. I immediately fell in Love with Dagger. His powerful presence was like a attraction I could not deny. The story line was really great and hand me wondering about what is really happening in the ocean among the animals. The dialog between Drew and Dagger was amazing and kept me up late reading to learn more about their relationship. This story was something that I would love to know more about. I found myself in the world of King Dagger and Queen Drew. In when the baby came about, I was more shocked of how it played out. I will not give nothing away, but it has realistic qualities in this story.

I am excited to see what is coming in the next books. I want to know more about Clear Coral, and some more of the people lives in this hidden world under the sea. I will never be able to hear of a tsunami,volcano, or hurricane without thinking something is going on in the ocean.

This book I would recommend to everyone who loves to read. There are many aspects to this story that everyone will enjoy. I do mean only my mature friends. This is a good read. I think I'm in love with King Dagger!

I pride myself on being a fast reader but with this book I had to slow down and take my time because the world that this author has developed was too good to miss by skimming the page. Dagger, a hero from deep (who comes to the surface in the form of a Tiger Shark) is so different than the normal hero that it takes some time to fall in love with him, but I did, and so did our human heroine Drew. She's asked to be his Queen and help him save Clear Coral which was an element that -by losing power - would be unable to stop the ocean floors from disintegrating into tsunamis and earthquakes. They have twelve days to defeat the enemies like Phe'lan and Azul, enemies who want Drew for themselves. This tale is so full of imaginative sequences, carefully plotted twists, and the characters and their descriptions are amazing. It had everything. Intrigue, a love story, sensuality and the most expressive passages that kept me invested until the end. If you like great fantasy/paranormal tales, then you need to read this story? You won't be disappointed.

This book tells the tale of Dagger and his fated mate Drew. The slow build up of their love story. Allowing them to build their love for one another and life into a meaningful and loving relationship. Having to learn about each other and the gradual respect and love it grows into. Great sex as well. All in all a great recommendation for anyone into Fantasy books, shape shifters, and destined mates. A cool read.

Amazing story conception, the world that Cora Blu has created is amazing and if we really think about it maybe think about the tsunamis going on the world today! It may answer some questions to the state of the world. At least one persons concept of it. Things that make you go mmmm!

I'm really on the fence on this one. This is the second novel I have read from Cora Blue: the first (Stranded but not alone) was much better.
Here's what I didn't like;
1) the story didn't seem consistant... some parts of the story seemed rushed, while others where glazed over
2) no conflict between the hero and the antagonist...barely any conflict between H /h
3) without number 1&2 the book just seemed to drag and a bit confusing

Don't get me wrong the story wasn't all bad; it was a fair price, little to no grammatical errors, and all around just a nice sweet romance

I really loved this book because it's something that's just not out there.

I love authors who are able to create entire stories from scratch, when it is from their imagination it's just more... colorful? I had never read a book involving shifting sea creatures.

Dagger was ultra sexy and Alpha Male-y which is something I always enjoy in books. I love how detailed the scenes were and how the author included characteristics of shark pairings when the two were together intimately.

I just really enjoy this little under the sea world Ms. Blu created and I wish to return to it.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Coral Abyss
Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2013
I love to explore worlds and sometimes those that may exist beneath our oceans within the vision of an author. Cora Blu is said author of Dagger the first book in the Brothers Of Element Series.

Two things perked my interest in this book. One being that the characters were more than human and two the cover (wicked grin). What can I say I am a sucker for a manly chest displayed upon any cover.

Dagger is a richly laced romance with under water ties and although I describe the book's title as the above, the character at first is all but. Frankly, I was wishing that Drew our forced into queen and main character would kick Dagger's behind, for lack of a better word (lol).

The tale swims with heat and I found these moments possibly to be the best of the pages. If a true romance is what you are looking for then don't let the tails of sexy shifters sway you away.

This book is perfect for anyone who loves the ocean and romance. The author did her research and built a dynamic beautiful world of marine shapeshifters living their lives unbeknownst to the humans above.

Dagger is a typical "alpha male" who is afraid to give his heart to the woman who is destined to be his mate. While our heroine is afraid she will loose her humanity if she accepts her destiny.

This is a nice escape into a new world with plenty of action, intrigue, and romance. I am looking forward to visiting this world again.

This novel was recommended by :: [...], both are my granddaughter.

Cora Blu is a fantastic author with a knack for grabbing the reader's attention. She wonderfully entertwines fantasy and mystery suspense that creates for a wonderful read. With her new story 'Blade' coming out soon, I will be sure to purchase both a Kindle and paperback if available though I'd have gladly spent £20.00 for the hardback.

3 Reasons to Purchase:
* A new concept
* A fresh look into the world beyond the surface
* Smoking hot young multicoloured men

Augustine (Dagger's Father) was my favourite because as a grandmother, I agree that the little one's are our joy. I have to honestly say I was rooting for the lovely couple the entire time because that wicked woman and her inability to keep her legs closed, caused a whole lot of trouble. Drew was a wonderful woman who took in a child that was not her own but she loved just as much, cute little thing. There were no mistakes that I caught and you will wish for the story to continue. I am on to buy both Max, and Stranded but not Alone by this wonderful woman.

As a closing, it is so great to see multicultural romance written with a sexy but charismatic finesse that isn't solely focused on the nitty gritty sexual scenes though those had some hoot and holler as well. As a woman born in the 1940's, I don't usually read such fantasy but I've found I like it and have to give a big thank you to my grandbaby and Mrs. Blu.
