A family legacy will be revealed.

As the FBI, NSA, and local police close in on Brenton Young, Alexis enlists the help of her boss and secret crush, District Attorney, Josh Hampton.

About Elementals 3: The Head of Medusa

Title: Elementals 3: The Head of Medusa
Author: Michelle Madow
Publisher: Dreamscape Publishing
Release Date: June 29, 2016
Series: Elementals #3
Genre: Young Adult Fantasy
Format: eBook and paperback
ISBN: 978-0997239416



The epic story of witches, gods, and monsters that USA Today called a "must read" continues in the third book of the Elementals series!

When Nicole Cassidy moved to a new town, she discovered that she was a witch descended from gods. But that was nothing compared to learning that it was up to her and four others with mysterious elemental powers to help save the world from the Titans, who would soon return to Earth.

Now her relationship with Blake -- the fire Elemental -- is finally heating up. But she must remain focused, because Typhon, one of the deadliest creatures in history, has escaped from the weakening prison world. Only one object can destroy him -- the head of Medusa herself.

Follow the Elementals as they journey to the end of the Earth, facing choices that will put their lives and the entire world at risk. Will they all survive the mission? Find out in the riveting third book in the Elementals series, The Head of Medusa.

Review:

The Head of Medusa by Michelle Madow is the 3rd book in the Elementals series and just like the previous two books, this one has kept the pace going!

Typhon's soul has escaped from Kerberos and the only thing that could stop him was Medusa. And in order to get Medusa's head, the Elementals needed the Golden Sword of Athena. And where is the Golden Sword of Athena? It's being guarded by Chione the snow goddess.

As you can see, the Elementals barely had time to breathe from their adventures in the 2nd book and now they're being plunged into a series of dangerous missions. This book is absolutely fast-paced with loads of action, but my favourite parts involve Nicole and Blake. These two are just the sweetest, and I find the balance of romance in this book is just right, but of course I wouldn't complain if there's even more :)

Towards the end of the book, something quite shocking happened and there is a major cliffhanger that left me wishing I could get my hands on the next book, The Portal to Kerberos now!

Short Excerpt:
“So we need to portal to Antarctica, fight our way past the ice nymphs, talk Chione into giving us the Golden Sword of Athena, hunt down Medusa, cut off her head using the Golden Sword, and then bring her head to Mount Etna so we can turn Typhon to stone—all before the spring equinox.”

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.”

Excerpt:
Note: This is an unedited excerpt and the final published version will be slightly altered.

Ax and Izzy are ascending the walkway into the belly of the ship, and I trail behind them. A welcome, familiar face is waiting to greet me at the top of the steps. Fern leans against the railing, her usual sunny face obscured behind a blanket of worry. Spotting me, she brightens for a nanosecond until she takes in my transparent ‘prisoner’ status.
She skips toward us with purpose. “What the hell?” She pierces Haydn with a murderous glare, planting her hands on her slim hips.
“Don’t. Interfere.” He growls out a warning as he pushes past her, hauling me along for the ride.
I shrug my shoulders as I eyeball my friend. “Don’t ask me for an explanation. No one is even speaking to me.”
“This is completely ridiculous, and totally unnecessary,” Fern yells as she stalks behind us like a miniature tornado.
“Babe,” Rylan says, stalling on the steps above us. “Let’s just get to the cabin and we’ll clear everything up.”
Haydn snorts and shakes his head. I deliberately impale him with my penetrating gaze, willing him to look at me so he can absorb the full glare of my frustration. But he’s as stubborn as ever, and he pretends not to feel my eyes burning a hole through the side of his skull. As I continue to stare at him—noting the ashen pallor of his skin, and how his once shorn hair has grown out, now curling and twisting around his ears and over his neck—I wonder if I’ve ever really known him at all. Or if he has ever truly known me.
Because if he did, he would know not to fear me. That there’s no need to treat me like this.

Release day - SuperNova by Liz Long


SuperNova (HoA #1)
Heroes of Arcania Trilogy
RELEASE DAY BLITZ
June 16th, 2016

HOA_FINAL-ebooksm

The streets of Arcania are overrun with crime, deteriorating as a madman named Fortune makes himself at home. He shows no mercy, striking down anyone in his path – including Nova Benson’s little sister. Devastated, Nova vows to seek justice for her family, but aside from her freak strength and impenetrable skin, how is she supposed to stop a monster like Fortune?  

Cole Warner wants to help people. Entrusted to keep his family’s secret, he’s also frustrated at having to hide his gift. He knows he could do more to help in the fight against Fortune. If he could convince his sister Penelope to join him, they might even have a chance at beating him. When Cole meets Nova, he realizes his whole world is about to change. And he’s going to welcome it with open arms.

Falling for each other wasn’t part of the plan.

Then again, neither was becoming a superhero.

Review:

(I received a copy from Mark My Words Book Publicity in exchange for my honest review)

SuperNova by Liz Long is the first book in the Heroes of Arcania series. It's also the first book I've read by Liz Long and I absolutely loved it!

Nova has a special "condition" that noone else has in her family and she's kept it secret, worried what her friends might think if it's exposed.

Fortune is a bad-ass bank robber who's been hitting the banks in Arcania and somehow Nova was at the wrong place at the wrong time and they crossed paths.

Fortune did something terrible to Nova and she's determined to bring him down. She started taking advantage of her "condition" by patrolling the streets late at night, in the hope of catching Fortune.

Cole and his sister Penelope are new in town and they are just like Nova - gifted with super powers.

Together they teamed up and sparks start to fly between Nova and Cole. They got really close to beating Fortune but in the end Fortune got the upper hand on them. I can't wait to find out how they will continue to pursue Fortune in the next book!
