The Elementum Trinity #1
The Energy Room
Angela Dawson lives in a tiny apartment on the tenth floor, with white walls, a window full of lies, and a hidden camera in the corner of the ceiling. All the coffee and pancakes in the world couldn't make her choose her current residence over a soggy, cardboard box in the back of a flea-infested alley. Of course, she doesn't have that option.
Angie has been raised in the captivity of The Facility for as long as she can remember. Though she is able to manipulate elements, The Facility took measures, after her first failed escape attempt, to prevent the use of her abilities outside of Electro-Cuffs. They are as painful and deterring as the name suggests, and the ever-present threat of electrocution ensures that Angie's power is anything other than her own.
Now, almost eighteen years old and with no hope of escape, Angie has surrendered to her life of testing, poking, and prodding within the thirty-floor, underground prison. That is, until a suspicious, young psychologist is hired to crack open her most protected secret; the locations of the five others like herself, to whom she is connected in her dreams.
Faced with decisions based on trust, love, deceit, and breakfast foods, Angie's transformation into an adult—and into a human being—is far more extraordinary than she could have ever imagined within the suffocating walls that raised her.

Wow, that was dramatic. I'm sort of in shock right now. I read this book all in one day b/c I could NOT put it down! The suspense and the family drama and the mysterious characters all kept me interested from the first page. I love the comedic strains in the writing! It balances perfectly with the serious material too. This book has it all!
The plot seems at first glance to be predictable, then suddenly everything twists and the unexpected happens! The action is a bit slow in the beginning as we are introduced to the characters and their relationships, but the Big Questions keep you in suspense through that, so that it doesn't feel slow.
The setting is this outlandish super-tech underground lab, but it feels real. With a few words, I can imagine myself right in the lab. Excellently written.
Angie is a fantastic character! She's relatable and mysterious at the same time. I was right there with her through all her confusion, and dealing with her feelings, and making mistakes. She is a total mess inside and out, but she has this gorgeous fortitude at the core of herself that is incredibly admirable. I adore how sassy Angie is! There are so many great one-liners that made me snort with laughter.
Al is so mysterious and he's the real big question mark in the entire book. Is he friend or foe? I loved seeing his whole mystery played out.
A Doctor Who joke and a Star Trek reference in the same chapter?! Yes, please! I'm in nerd heaven.
There is a lot of information thrown at the reader in the last chapter. It might have been better to have explained the history with a small flashback or something, and made it more personal. It feels like an entire history book crammed into a few pages, which makes it difficult to follow sometimes.
I always like to look for an overall theme or message behind the story, and it really struck me how there are so many people pressuring Angie to be a certain way, directly and indirectly. William brings out her rebellious side. Eric pressures her into dating. Lakin demands loyalty (rightly so, but it's still a social pressure). Emmy and Eddie want compliance with a smile. Al wants her trust. etc...etc... But through it all, Angie decides who she is, and how she will feel, and how she will behave, and who she will trust and be loyal to. She decides. Nobody else. I just love this character!
Ah, the cliffhanger! I have to get my hands on the second book NOW!

I received this as a review copy from the author but in no way does that affect my true feelings about the book.
This is the story of Angie and the Energy Room. Angie is powerful, she has abilities which humans can only dream of and which have meant she cannot live a normal life. She is trapped, she is observed, but she knows there is a little hope out there. She has the others who are like her, they talk to her, in her mind, in the Energy Room.
The world is similar to our world today, just with some more futuristic ideas and powers which aren't normal :) The Facility is well described and interesting to read about, and Angie's feelings towards the place are also exciting to read about. I enjoyed seeing the struggle of the day to day before Al arrived, and I liked the idea that her friends are people she's never met who live in her head, I thought that was a very unique idea.
The whole story is well written and I would certainly say that is deserves more recognition than it has so far received, I am definitely looking forward to the next one in the series which I will be picking up, and I would say that for £0.77 you can't go far wrong if you like YA, fantasy and sci-fi. Recommended and a great, light-hearted, fun and exhilaratingly fast read. 3 and a half* out of 5, still a lot of questions about what they are and where it will go from here :)

*I received this as a review copy from the author but in no way does that affect my true feelings about the book.*
I was excited to start reading this book, and I felt that most of the book lived up to my expectations. I enjoyed the main character's point of view, her take on the world around her, and her interactions with her friends and those running The Facility. I couldn't put the book down when I reached the second half, however, I felt like the book was a bit hurried near the end, and maybe didn't address everything I was hoping it would. I do understand it is the first of a trilogy, and maybe I will find my answers in the next two books, but I just felt like all the information at the end was being thrown at me all at once, and while missing something, maybe also didn't add up very clearly. But that's just me. Maybe I'm not used to crazy, fantastical books like this one. The characters and the story are very different, dramatic, and definitely drew me in.
(Thanks for your cute note in my book, Styna. :) Don't worry, I have no intention of burning the pages for heat!!)

Just finishes reading this today, but I'm not quite ready to write a review yet cause I'm too tired to think. In the meantime: I loved this story, worlds and heroin.
Some things didn't add up and some characters annoyed the crap out of me, but I really enjoyed reading this and would love to buy it in book form
Ps can't believe I'm the first person to write a review
(Don't know when I'll actually write a real review, until then see my Youtube review: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrPdOQ... )

Synopsis
"We are an ancient race, born of and with the earth. We are its children, and its guardians. We co-existed with all living things in peace, until the arrival of the Destructive Ones. Once, we were many. Now, we are few."
Angela Dawson lives in a tiny apartment on the tenth floor, with white walls, white floors, a window full of lies, and a hidden camera in the corner of the ceiling. The hall leads to five other apartments exactly like her own... except they're all empty, and always have been.
Angie has been raised in the captivity of The Facility for as long as she can remember. Though she is able to manipulate elements, The Facility developed a means of preventing her from using her abilities outside of testing, after her first failed escape attempt as a child. These “Electro-Cuffs” deliver a nasty shock as soon as they detect that she is about to use her abilities, and ensure that she is truly under their control.
Now almost eighteen years old and with no hope of escape, Angie seems to have surrendered to her life of testing, poking, and prodding within the thirty-floor, underground prison. That is, until a suspicious, young psychologist is hired to crack open her most protected secret: the locations of the five others like herself, to whom she is connected in her dreams.
Faced with decisions based on trust, love, deceit, and breakfast foods, Angela's transformation into an adult, and into a human being, is far more extraordinary than she could have ever imagined within the suffocating walls that raised her
Star Rating
4/5 stars.
Thoughts & Opinions
Angela Dawson has lived in The Facility all of her life and hasn't known anything on the outside. This means that she hasn't fully developed into a normal 17 year old. However, this is jusitfied since she hasn't seen the outside world and only knowing the same people for all of her life. She also knows that she has some sort of abilitiy that controls the elemenets and the people at the facility have been training her to control her ability all of her life. Angie is an interesting character to learn about when it concerns her abilities but her personality did lack a little at the beginning because of the attention on her best friend/potential boyfriend material which got a litttle tiring and repetative to read about. During the second half of the book, however, I did feel that there was more character development in Angie since she learnt more about the institute and her powers.
Angie's best friend Erik is her love interest. I found Erik to be quite annoying and persisting for most of the book and, to be honest, he was kind of an unnecessary character. Other characters like the Angie's new shrink is always shrouded in mystery and it was enjoyable to try and figure out if he was a character that Angie could trust. The other characters that intrigued me the most are the ones that have the same abilities that Angie had but the only way Angie could see them was when she was asleep. I just wish that these characters were explored more and I'm hoping that this will be the case in the second book.
The plot is a steady one and in the first half of the book where we learn about Angie's world and The Facility. This could be interesting at times since there were a lot of elements that needed explaining but I do feel that some of the scenes in the book were dragged out; especially the scenes involving Erik and Angie trying to decided who her love interest was. However, the second half of the book did pick up it's pace when Angie discovered more of her world and of The Facility and life outisde of it.
Lane's writing style flows easily and I was able to picture the place easily because of her descriptions. Overall, her writing style wasn't anything unique but it was good quality.
Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by this dystopian novel. I do feel that there was room for improvement when it came to the development of the plot and the world building. However, since this is the first book in a series it does leave room for potential questions to be answered in the next books. Most of the characters were likeable enough and the elements is an interesting topic which I would like to read more about in the next book. I suggest this read for people who love dystopians or people who like to read about characters who have control of the elements.

I received this book from the author as part of a Goodreads giveaway, but that does not affect my review whatsoever.
*4/5 stars*
The Energy Room by Styna Lane, in my opinion, is a very interesting, well-written book. The whole book is centered around, and is told by, the main character, Angie. The thing about Angie is that she is not a "normal" human. She has grown up in what is called The Facility and she has special powers that "normal humans" want to test... And she loves pancakes.
What I like about this book: *I basically loved this entire book. I loved the main character. She was sassy, witty, and basically everything that I wish I could be as a person. She fit the story so well. If she was anything other than what she was, the book would not have been very good in my opinion. She made the story.
*I loved the supporting characters. All of the characters in the Energy Room seemed really interesting. The "family" Angie had at the Facility seemed very lovable. Al, Angie's psychologist, was a hard character to figure out but even he was hard not to love. Even the evil characters, I loved to hate.
*The concept was interesting, nothing I had ever really read about, although towards the end of the book it reminded me quite a bit of The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken. It had the same overall feel.
What I didn't like about this book: There's only one main thing that I didn't love about this book. I wish there would have been more background to the characters and the setting. I wanted to know more about Angie and the others in the Energy Room. I wanted to know more about the Facility and why it was built. I feel as though I don't know a lot about any of the characters.
Overall, I enjoyed this book. It was a very fun, quick read. I do hope that the author will put out a second book that can answer a lot of the questions that weren't answered in The Energy Room. If she does, I will definitely be picking it up on the day it comes out!

*I received this book for review from the author, but this in no way affected my thoughts expressed in this review.*
I was quite excited to read this book, the synopsis drew me in from the get-go and had me ready to dive headfirst into what promised to be an amazing book. I'm happy to say that the description I listed above doesn't even begin to do the whole book justice!
Angie has been trapped in an underground prison her entire life. So, needless to say-she's had it pretty rough. The book immediately draws you in with this plot and I had the hardest time putting it down to head off to work in the garden the morning I was reading it.
The thing I loved most about this book is also one of the things that terrifies me the most about it: it's so realistic! Almost every page was believable which is amazing in the way that it really gets you invested in the story and on pins and needles about what's going to happen next. Styna Lane definitely knew what she was doing with this book and was able to craft it with just the right amount of detail that made the pages sort of come to life. Angie has spent her life in this tiny little space constantly monitored with the mere thought of using her abilities literally causing her pain. I just can't imagine something like that and yet I was still able to really connect with her character.
I recommend this book for fans of good, fast paced books--ones that really make you think and yet still hold an incredible story. I can't wait to read more from Styna Lane!

This book took me a little while to get into, but I liked how the pace picked up towards the later half of the story.
The idea of the energy room was so interesting, I would have liked to spend a little more time there, especially once you find out how all the people there are connected. I want to hear about Angie explaining the situation to everyone else in the energy room and to see their reactions. The idea that you can live your whole life in the energy room while in a coma in the real world is one I enjoyed a lot.
Being stuck in the facility all your life must be pretty hard but it's all she's known. The idea of total lack of freedom is something this book does well. The electo-cuffs are annoying, poor girl.
I have mixed feelings about Al's character. He comes across as a little creepy sometimes and throughout the book I was very unsure about whether his intentions were positive or not. That gave some really good suspense though, I am glad I finally understood him as a character when his true intentions were revealed.
Overall I enjoyed the story and the characters, even though I had a few problems with it, and the end gives me enough loose ends for me to want to pick up the 2nd book when it is out, however it is not one of those annoying cliff hangers which leaves you unsatisfied :)

I’m not going to lie, this book isn’t very good. It’s Amazing! To say that every page had gripped me, would also be a lie; when in fact every word was like eye music that rendered my eyelids incapable of moving for fear of missing a word. Styna Lane is a genius! Her inimitable style is clearly present on every page and she has an eloquence that I haven’t seen in a young writer….. EVER! It really doesn’t matter what I write here, I will not be able to do this book the justice it deserves; but I shall try! This incredible novel follows the story of Angela Dawson (Angie); a girl who has the ability to manipulate the elements. She has been held captive in a government testing facility her entire life but she is not the only one that has this amazing gift; there are five others that she is connected to whose whereabouts are unknown to the government. In order to find out where the others are the facility hires a young psychologist to try and get her to tell him. With great detail and great humor this book has been an awesome read! Ms. Lane, you now have another fan :D

I'm happy to say that I enjoyed this book! I've had a lot of bad experiences with self-published work, so while this still felt a little rough around the edges, it didn't distract from the story. I am definitely looking forward to the next one!
January 17, 2018
The whole time I was reading this book, I couldn't get a handle on what exactly was happening. I love it when an author keeps me interested all the way through! This book is definitely on my recommendation list. And....ah, ah, ah... No Spoilers, Sweeties. You'll just have to find out how awesome it is on your own.

Love this book! It's so easy to fall into the story and see it in my minds eye! The writing is perfection! I couldn't put this book down. I devoured it in one day!! Styna Lane is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors!! 💖

But now it's the middle of the night and I'm half asleep but I'm just so mad in love with this book that I have to get my feels out! I'm so excited to start the next one! I'm trying to look back for a part that I didn't like, but honestly all I can come up with is Eric, but that's just because I have this thing against anyone named Eric. Now seriously, read this book.

I'm trying to look back for a part that I didn't like, but honestly all I can come up with is Eric, but that's just because I have this thing against anyone named Eric. Now seriously, read this book. Do it. Now. READ IT.

This is a book for people who want frivolous escapism without too much depth. This, as with so many other books, has a shred of potential but doesn’t quite get there. The broad concept is far too familiar and barely deviates from the way it’s been told many times before. There are hints of character development, but again the author falls back on well-worn, familiar ideas. The entire book felt rushed and fell into a very unsatisfying ending. All in all, this is a beach read for when you want to switch off and lose yourself in another world.

I totally new twist in the fantasy genre! I haven't read a book that even slightly resembles this one! Amazing storyline, fantastic characters that are so different, twists at every corner, thoroughly though-out, stunning detail..... I love it!!
