A trip abroad. A dark secret. Her family's legacy of magic may cost a teen her life....

Georjie’s summer is shaping up to be a big disappointment. Trapped in Ireland with her aunt’s gorgeous but cold adopted son, Jasher, her "vacation" gets worse with each passing day. But when a trip to the greenhouse reveals glowing cocoons she shouldn't be able to see, she embarks on a quest to solve a magical mystery....

In the pages of an ancient diary, Georjie learns a dark family history and an incredible earthly power. But as she digs deeper and realizes she isn't the only one with a touch of magic, the ghosts of the past may do much more than haunt her.

Can Georjie provide justice for her ancestors before she becomes the next family victim?

Born of Earth is an enchanting stand-alone novel in the Elemental Origins series YA urban fantasies. If you like powerful young women, dangerous boys, and spooky spirits, you’ll love USA Today best seller A.L. Knorr’s ghostly adventure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great creative story

Born of Earth is very well written, with engaging characters and a mystery to solve. I deeply enjoyed this story with side story lines being tied up as well. No being left hanging wondering about what happened to those folks. The descriptions of time and place were particularly well done. Nice continuity and flow. I can't say more without spoilers, but read this wonderful book and you will see what I mean. Read when you have ample time, as you will want to read it in one sitting. I could not put it down!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, as I've come to expect!! Excellent read!!
Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2017

Honestly, I've read all of Ms. Knorr's books now and I have to say, I truly, truly enjoy her storytelling. The characters have enough depth to keep me intrigued, and I love the fact that each story transports me to some pretty amazing locations! This book caught me off guard a bit because when I was expecting it to slow down and reach that predictable middle, it didn't do so. In fact, the middle-to-ending fully surprised me in a big way and now has me wondering what to expect of these girls (in each of the books so far) when they get back together. Anxiously waiting for the next Elemental Origins novel!! Great work again!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Delightful, magical coming-of-age that can be read on it's own
Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2019

This is a delightful coming-of-age story with plenty of magic and mystery and thrill and romance (though the beginning half is at a rather leisurely pace). (This is easily read without having to pick up the other books beforehand, and it does wrap up without cliffhanging). Georjayna is the typical teenager, glued to her cell phone, chatting with her best friends, practically drooling over her muscular adopted cousin, and hating that her mother pawned her off on relatives for the summer (and like one of the other reviewers said I didn't really get that she was supposed to be from Canada, until somewhere near halfway). I loved Jasher, who once he thaws toward Georjie has an eager, excited, and highly artistic personality. There was plenty of magic in this. I did really like the fairies, though they seemed perhaps a bit too whimsical in this and were portrayed as little more than fireflies (I was hoping for more to them). While I liked the romance, it felt a bit off-kilter. As in, Jasher was repeatedly described as having a bit of beard and stubble to him, not to mention broad and muscular, and he talks very maturely, so I kept picturing him in his mid-twenties, but then it keeps getting mentioned that he’s close to Georjie’s age (which seemed to be around 16), so my mind was having trouble picturing him in Georjie’s age group. I loved that Georjie had to do some growing up and changing her outlook and values during the course of this adventure, and actually deal with her home life as well as finding out a lot about her family history. And I really did love her racing around, investigating the family mystery she had uncovered. There were some threads though that never really got answered (specifically some ghosts lurking around in places that after the first mention were never addressed again). The largest issue I had with this was that for the most part, the story feels like it’s being told in the immediate, but then every so often, the author tossed in phrases like if I knew then what I know now, which suddenly made it sound like she was writing from a decade into the future, which was rather disconcerting since it takes me out of the immediate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Third Book!!
Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2023

After the 1st Elemental Origins book I was hooked! I've a great love for nature, mythology, and great stories. Most artistic types have there genre and I enjoy many. I was a little unhappy with the second origin book, some modicum of violence and all that goes with the types of books I read doesn't usually ever really bother me. It was the situation I suppose which is why I included it in my review due to my own personal experiences. I was determined that with the amazing storylines to continue on with this 3 rd Origins book. I was tempted to skip but, I like to have background knowledge as much as possible and I'm SO Happy that I did. I love the setting Ireland is probably still the top most beautiful and amazing place I have ever been and having family there, well this book brought so much interest together. It wad well written, obviously we expected part of what was in store for Georjie as an Earth Elemental story but, A.L. Knife really outdid herself. I didn't get tripped up with writing errors as happens at times being such an avid reader so I would say her under readers and what have you did do a great job there as well. While I enjoy the feel of real paper and turning pages I am so glad I can at least start on the next book on my Kindle but, I think this is one of those Series I will enjoy getting the set to add to my exploding bookshelves as I read them.

5.0 out of 5 stars great installment
Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2019

This is the third book in a series that focuses on four best friends who spend the summer before their senior year in high school apart - all abroad and secretly learning of their special affinities with a particular element. Each book follows one of the girls on her summer adventure, so the timelines of the books happen concurrently, but they can still be read out of order without much confusion. This is Georgejayna’s story. With all of her friends leaving for the summer, she agrees to the trip to Ireland to stay with her aunt that her mother has been pushing on her. A high-powered lawyer, Georgie’s mom is very busy and basically absent from Georgie’s life, making Georgie.

In Ireland, Georgie meets Jasher, the young man that her aunt adopted when he was a child. Despite a prickly beginning, they eventually get to know each other, bonding over some pretty special shared abilities. As Georgie learns of her family’s legacy and her own elemental powers, she tries to solve a century-old mystery and help Jasher’s biological father in the process.

I had actually read this book first, before going back and reading all of the others in order. It might be my favorite of the series, or at least tied with Born of Water, but that could be because I like stories with fairies and mermaids. Another great installment to this series.

I've read this twice and on my re read I changed my rating to a 5 star.

This is really well written and so easy to read.

I love the nature magic and the concept of how faeries come to be in this world.

It's a nice escape from the technological world into more of a nature setting.

This series is fantastic! I really enjoy the style of writing. A perfect mix of fantasy with an intriguing storyline. The fantasy somehow remains grounded by the characters own life. I think this is my favourite book yet! JUST BRILLIANT!
