Bad Elements: The Hybrid Unleashed

by Lynn Mullican, Vic Weiford (Graphic Designer)

Adapting to a normal life in the immortal realm, Crystal finds her familial ties in turmoil. As Crystal’s son becomes obsessed with a string of recent deaths, his marriage to his witch wife grows weak, forcing her to turn to her sister for guidance.

Meanwhile, Crystal’s daughter, Jennifer, struggles with her immortal hormonal imbalance, attracting two teenage boys, one of whom is not what he seems.

With the appearance of her ex-husband, Wayne, she becomes the target of the elite immortal agency, the Underground Secret Service, its affiliates, and its primary targets, including the notorious and dangerous biker gang, The Hells Changelings—her lover’s brotherhood.

Gaining some of her memory back, she discovers secrets and uncovers the truth behind her captivity, pushing her into the primary focus of annihilation by the hunters and the hunted in this sequel to the dark and edgy novel, Bad Elements: Blood for Blood.

Underground Paranormal Monster Cage Matches, Secret Police, Cruel Expirimentation...what doesn't this book have? Hybrid Unleashed is the third book in Mullican's Bad Elements Series. It follows the saga of Crystal and her family as they try to heal from the past and forge a somewhat normal existence, or at least as normal as you can be when your family is made up of werewolves, witches, and hybrid paranormal creatures. I have to be honest, I'm reading them out of order. Why? Because I wanted to have something ready for Hybrid Unleashed's Release Week.

While it is the third book in the series and I'm reading things completely out of order, I found the story fairly easy to follow. The cast of characters is huge and they're apparently involved from Books 1 and 2. I wasn't lost, but I definitely know I'm now going to read the first 2 novels, just for pure character insight. It was also fairly easy to pick up this book and start because Crystal is having flashbacks of her forgotten past, so if I was confused, she usually had a memory emerge just when I needed it.

This book isn't a YA Novel and the supernatural creatures can be brutal, but it plays more like a Charlaine Harris type of novel...you love them even when they give in to their primal instincts.

What I liked about Crystal, the main character, is that she is struggling to find her place within her family. After years in the underground, as a captive, she's adapting to life as a mother and grandmother. As you can imagine, it's pretty hard to navigate. She does it with strength and determination.

I'm giving this a 5 out of 5 stars and eagerly looking forward to "starting" the series.

Being the third book, the author has continues to draw us into Crystals life. I love seeing her continue to thrive in life. It’s not easy for her all the times but she does what she has to for her family.

Action packed and greatly written it kept me just as glued to my device as the first two books did. I love the writing, it’s written so that’s readers can easily follow along even if it’s been a short while since they read the last one, which I awesome. I read so much that even with it being the third, I dive in and it was like everything from the last books came rushing back.

If you like paranormal, I’m sure you will enjoy these. Awesome job! I can’t wait to see what the author writes next. 4 Stars #2OCCJD

. Ms. Mullican, what a great book!!
Wow, this third book had me on my toes. So much suspense. This is a great series, that I would recommend to all paranormal readers. We read about vampires, werewolves, witches, hybrids.
What a spectacular ending. I need to read the next one.
I love the characters and the plot is awesome

Good

Not a bad 3rd book but was hoping it would of been the last , as now it's going to be drug out to another book which I doubt I will buy as I can't stand these LONG DRAWN OUT stories that just keep on going !!!! 3 books would of been just fine but waiting for another version of this isn't going to hold my attention at all .

This is the third book in the series and I did enjoy it. I love all the action in these books. The writing is great and the story line is great. The author keeps you drawn into Crystal's life and you want to know what happens next so you can't put the book down. If you love paranormal then these books are definitely for you.

Another good read

Completed book three and so want book four. Chaotic plot that adds to the fun. The constant switches have you guessing where it will go.

This was an action-packed story that really drew me in with the things that occurred in Crystal's life. The author did a great job with the writing of this story and the storyline as well.

If Crystal's life ever settles down she will be bored to tears. Reading this book was like watching an action packed movie. The action never stopped, bouncing back and forth to different characters situations. I loved it! I could not put it down, now I need the next book.
