My Review

Holy awesome Antarctica is cold! Ha! I loved how the book started with a date between Blake and Nicole! We've been waiting for them since the beginning even if it gets complicated. And the crew is right off on another life threatening  adventure to save the world. There may be a lot more romance in here but it definitely didn't take away action, suspense or great story telling!!! We got gratification lol! 

More powers, more adventures, more group bonding- and a masterful telling of a great story, I can't believe how awesome this series is! Everyone is maturing and risking their life to save the world, whom have no idea about all the monsters coming out! And there's always cause and effect- sometimes choices come back to bite us somewhere painful. And though the romance gives the book a light feeling, it's definitely more emotional and more suspenseful and it's getting grittier and has a few darker moments... I LOVE THIS!! AND.... For the first time- we have a cliff hanger that BLEW MY EVER LOVING MIND!!! This author didn't do cliff hangers in the first two books so I wasn't expecting it. And that... Well mini can't but man oh man does that make me SUPER PUMPED for book four!! It's gunna be EPIC! I'm awed right now so I will leave you with 5 PAWS!!! 

The adventure began in the first book in the series, Elementals: The Prophecy of Shadows. Visit www.michellemadow.com to get the first Elementals book for FREE!

Excerpt:
“What we’re about to do is scary. Terrifying, even. But we’ve been through things that were just as challenging. We slayed our first monster together in that cave, we escaped the Land of the Lotus Eaters when everyone there was trying to kill us, we blew up one of Scylla’s heads, we slayed the hydra, and we stole the Golden Sword of Athena from a goddess’s ice palace. No matter what challenges we face, we’ve always come out on top. Tonight won’t be any different. We’re the Elementals. We train together, we fight together, and we win together. And don’t any of you ever forget it.”

Now Nicole and the other Elementals must enter the portal, find Blake, and bring him and Medusa’s head back to Earth before the deadly monster Typhon returns and wreaks havoc on the world.

Elementals: The Prophecy of Shadows

by Michelle Madow

Release Date: January 26th 2016


Summary from Goodreads:


Filled with magic, thrilling adventure, and sweet romance, Elementals is the first in a new series that fans of Percy Jackson and The Secret Circle will love! 

When Nicole Cassidy moves from sunny Georgia to gloomy New England, the last thing she expects is to learn that her homeroom is a cover for a secret coven of witches. Even more surprisingly … she’s apparently a witch herself. Despite doubts about her newfound abilities, Nicole is welcomed into this ancient circle of witches and is bedazzled by their powers—and, to her dismay, by Blake—the school’s notorious bad-boy.

Girls who get close to Blake wind up hurt. His girlfriend Danielle will do anything to keep them away, even if she must resort to using dark magic. But the chemistry between Blake and Nicole is undeniable, and despite wanting to protect Nicole from Danielle’s wrath, he finds it impossible to keep his distance.

When the Olympian Comet shoots through the sky for the first time in three thousand years, Nicole, Blake, Danielle, and two others in their homeroom are gifted with mysterious powers. But the comet has another effect—it opens the portal to the prison world that has contained the Titans for centuries. After an ancient monster escapes and attacks Nicole and Blake, it’s up to them and the others to follow the clues from a cryptic prophecy so that they can save their town … and possibly the world.

My Review

I'm totally thrilled to start this new series with a twist on Greek mythology and witch mixes. I think this was such a fun story and being the start of a series, it still covered a lot of ground. There's excellent plot that follows the mystery of a little prophecy that no one knew about until the middle of the book. It was a secret until now, but damn it was scary lol. Nicole is unprepared for everything that's about to be thrown in her face. 

So Nicole moves with her family to New England and boy is it different. She's from the south so it's freaking cold. And on top of that, witches and monsters are real. Oh, and they share a class together to learn about their magic. Dude, why did I not get a home room like this in high school, or hell even college!? I want one!! But there's a lot of mystery and suspense and secrets going around. First, Nicole finds out the dad she doesn't know is something magical, then the guy she is falling for is taken by the scary spiteful mean girl, and to top it off, she's the link to the whole prophecy. But she didn't even know any of this existed until she walked into home room on her first day of class at a new school. Wow!!  Oh and a comet has somehow magnified her magic and linked her with 4 others- her new best friend, her crush, his evil girlfriend, and the all American sweet guy. I see this blowing up in someone's face in the future- FYI! They call themselves the elementals, because of their new powers. 

The action was great with battles and monsters. I absolutely loved the suspense of the whole book. Finding the secrets and mysteries to unlocking the truth.  This new take on the Titans and the Greek gods. I loved everything about the magic and how it works- but that's a secret you'll have to read about. And then there's the characters. I actually loved them all, yes even the mean girl and the monsters. It's excellent to see the different dynamics when things change because of Nicole. And I think Blake is just swoon worthy. "My fire didn't accidentally go out." Seriously, I'm pretty sure I about lost my mind right there!!! 

I will definitely be stalking the author to keep on track the release of book two. I'm dying to know if her new light on her parentage is going to change anything for Nicole. I want to know if it will work out with Blake in the future. I wanna know if the mean girl will get more evil or get nice-ish lol. I want her bff and the sweet guy to become that perfect couple. *sigh* I want a lot don't I? But that's why I will be reading book two- I want so much more! I thought this was a blast to read and if you Greek mythology or witches and magic, pick this one up!! 5 MAGICAL PAWS!!
