The Nature Hunters Academy #2
Sealed by Fire
Hell is easy to get into but almost impossible to escape.
Tara Thompson is an elementalist, given the powers of the earth when her parents were murdered. Now that she knows about the supernatural world around her, she has been recruited to join other earth elementals at Terra Academy, one of the four schools that train young elementalists to battle against dark elemental spirits and their acolytes.
But fighting dark spirits isn’t the only thing occupying Tara’s mind. In addition to discovering the supernatural world, Tara has learned that she and Elias--Mr. Tall, Dark, and British and an earth Elementalist himself--are soul bonded, which means they hold a special place in the elemental world. Unfortunately, Tara doesn’t have time to dwell on what this means because her best friend, Shelly Smith, has been trapped in the underworld by a crazed fire elemental. The only person who can help her is, Ra Nasir, a fire Elementalist from Crimson Academy and one of Elias’s best friends.
Meanwhile, Shelly will learn that burning in hell is the least of her worries because Osiris, the lord of the underworld wants her to rule hell by his side. Overseeing lost souls and making demon babies was not in Shelly’s five-year plan. She will do whatever it takes, even sacrifice her heart to the handsome Ra, to escape from Osiris’s clutches. But will Ra get to her in time?

About the author
Quinn Loftis
76 books5,965 followersHello, Readers. My name is Quinn Loftis and I am lucky enough to call myself a novelist. In 2011, I self-published my first novel, Prince of Wolves with no expectations, other than my friends and family might purchase the book out of pity. Now, several years later, with 30+ novels and counting under my belt, Prince of Wolves had been downloaded over 1 million times. Though I was hesitant at the time to submit my work to the world for their scrutiny, I'm so glad I did. It made my dream of making a living by telling stories a reality.
I'm blessed to share my household my wonderful husband of more than twenty years (who also co-writes with me on occasion), three beautiful sons, a French Bulldog, and an oversized tabby cat. I love hearing from readers, so if you have any questions about the books or my journey, don't hesitate to hit the 'Contact Quinn' in the menu above. Thank you so much for taking a chance on my books.

How far would you go to save that certain someone you fleetingly saw before disappearing into flames. How about traveling through the seven levels of the underworld, experiencing horrors that have yet to be rated on the scale of worse nightmares ever. Welcome to Sealed by Fire, book two of The Nature Hunters written by the wonderful and talented Quinn Loftis. Travel alongside Ra as he demonstrates his ability, strength and stamina, despite fatigue and facing adverse conditions to reach Tara's BFFF, Shelly. Who, what, where, when and why are questions we need answering regarding Shelly’s disappearance. Find out why Ra feels a strong pull towards the beautiful leggy blonde, with no filter. Meanwhile, life continues on up-world with Tara, Elias, Aston, and Liam. An introduction to new characters, good and bad, including Royalty, make Sealed by Fire another excellent, exciting read. My advice is to set aside the housework, make sure you have plenty of ‘me time’ before you start reading this book, as once you start, you will not want to put it down. My Ebook was pre ordered and automatically downloaded at midnight, where I was waiting patiently and ready to read on release day. Fantastic descriptive read from page, to the last sentence, but then I’m not surprised, this is a Quinn Loftis book. Full of emotions, love, laughter, excitement, if, buts and maybes. Highly recommend you read book one, Bound by Earth first. A must read, five golden ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ awarded 😊

I just finished Sealed By Fire and I am amazed and shocked yet again by Quinn's writing. I was reading while on break at work and snorted Coke out my nose from laughing. If you haven't ordered it, do it now! You will laugh at Shelly's wit and fall for Elias like Tara. I am obsessed with this new series!

********** Contains Spoilers**********
I enjoyed this book and found it way more interesting than book one, as there was a lot more action and adventure in this book, than in book 1. I’ve been a fan of Quinn’s since I was first recommended Prince of Wolves (Grey Wolves Series) on Amazon back in 2013. I’ve read that series multiple times since then. Tara has has not only found out that here parents were m*rdered by a dark elemental, she’s an earth elementalist given powers since the night her parents died, her boyfriend Elias is also an earth elementalist and they’re soul bound. Her best friend Tara was dragged through a portal in the Underworld by a dark elementalist who wants to use her as a bargaining chip to try and get Tara to go to the dark side.
Luckily one of Elias’s best friends/brothers Ra is a fire elementalist, an a direct descendant to the Pharaohs agrees to save her, as he’s the only who can travel safely through all the levels of the Underworld, he also has help from his ancestors who belong to Osiris, the lord of the Underworld as they worshipped him and they paid the price of their souls. Shelly finds out that burning alive while trapped in hell is the least of her worries, as Osiris has taken an interest in her, and wants her to rule Underworld by his side. Luckily Ra talks Osiris in to allowing Shelly a choice to chose between Ra and himself instead of just taking her and bending her to his will.
She now has 24 hours to spend with both of them before making her choice. If she decides to choose Ra they’re allowed to leave but it’ll come at a price. Meanwhile back at the academies are agreeing to work together for the greater good, as the dark elementals and dark acolytes of different elemental magic are working together. I really liked the chemistry between Ra and Shelly. I enjoyed meeting Gabby and I’m looking forward tor reading the next book, and finding out what happens next especially between her and Liam. I’d definitely recommend this book, series and author to everyone.

So we picked up where we left off in book one. Ra is on a mission to save Tara's best friend Shelly. Why? Good question and one I will not reveal since I still have a working theory in progress. LOL! Elias and Tara? So what is the deal with these two? Is there any progress being made or we at a standstill? Woah and we meet Royal Elementals!! So that happens all pretty quickly. While that is going on, remember Shelly was sent to the underworld. Well lets just say her sassy mouth still works and it does not deter the King of the Underworld. So this book is constantly on the go and the flow of the content is perfect. It has a perfect blend of action, intensity and shock value. Like, yup did not see a couple of things that happen. So beware. Overall Quinn brings you another amazing series to fall in love. I cannot wait to read wait will happen next.

So much going on this book. Well let's see....Some of these characters makes me crazy..lol. They know what they need to do but always overthinks it....UGH! And Shelly does word vomit so well that she makes me laugh! I wish I had that ability sometimes...lol.
This book series takes you on adventure like no other. Can you imagine what it would be like if you were able to go to another realm? You will get to visit a little bit.
What about being able to wield some element? Fire? Water? Earth? Wind? I wonder if we might run across someone who could wield all four!?! Quinn? Maybe? lol
So if you are new to this author, you are definitely missing out on some great books to read! Quinn is an awesome writer AND she loves CLIFFHANGERS! But she's not the only one thou!

This is the second book in The Nature Hunters Academy Series. Tara and Elias are at Terra Academy but the dark elementalist still want Tara. The dark side has a bargaining chip, Shelly. When Tara does not give herself up Shelly is put under a spell and shoved through a portal to hell. Ra promises to bring Shelly back from hell or he will stay in hell with her. Meanwhile Tara and Elias try to find more out about being bonded. Shelly feels like she is being burned alive but she cannot talk or move. Ra goes through many trials to get to Shelly in level one of hell. Will he be able to reach her in time when he feels her time is running out? I love this book, the characters are amazing and the story is original. This is a must read.

Omg where to start .Elias and Tara soul bonded and what it entails.The twist of Shelly and Tara at Prom .Shelly getting abducted and taken to the underworld wrapped in a protective flame awake but unable to move for a fleeting moment before she’s whisked off she sees Ra and there’s a spark between them a pull .Ra decides he’s the best one to go to the underworld to save her .The trials he had to endure doesn’t quiet go the way I thought it would .For me I thought they would out smart Osiris by being soul bonded and him being unaware but that’s not how it went .Instead Osiris gives Shelly a chance to choose and when she chooses he throws a curve ball .I’m like screaming No don’t do it .The underworld has been scheming behind the scenes and all hell is about to break loose.

I received an ARC of this book.
Though I will buy and add to my collection!
The story continues in this 2nd book. We go back and forth with Sally being in Hell and Ra's journey to reach her, meanwhile learning what is going on with Tara, Elias and everyone else. This book is more fast paced than the first one. Don't fret the sassy and funny comments keep coming.
Editing is good which I very much appreciate. The details are great and Ra's journey is spectacular making taking me on the journey. All in all this series is shaping up to be a hit!

Great book to continue the series! Quinn has done it again! This book kept me on the edge of my seat as Ra works his way through the underworld to rescue Sally. I did not think this book had as much funny content as the first book, but that is mostly because there isn't really any banter between Shelly and Tara. There are new characters that are introduced to the series, and I believe book three is going to be epic! I can not wait!! Definitely great series!
April 29, 2020
I love the new series. This book is just as amazing as the first book in this series. I love Shelly so it is perfect that she is in this book. I like her sarcasm and wit. I think that Ra and she fit each other. I can't wait to read the next book. I love how Quinn is using the elements to write a great book. The characters are well developed. The plot is intricate and amazing. I love it. Keep it up, Quinn.
April 29, 2020
Ra is my new favorite. He is so relatable and is a great warrior. You’ll want to be rooting for him the whole time. Shelly had me cracking up laughing constantly! And her dealing with Osiris was fantastic! She's kind of like the new Jen! Get ready to be taken on a wild ride. Quinn Loftis pulls you in from the start and keeps you there, I couldn’t put the book down. It made me feel every emotion along the way which makes the book fantastic. I can’t wait for the next one!
April 29, 2020
Quinn has done it again! Sealed By Fire picks up immediately after the happenings of Bound by Earth so there is no interruption of events. We find out a little more about Tara, but this book is really exploring the character of Shelley. Amazing writing, beautiful descriptions that take you right along with the characters in the book. I read it all in one day, I couldn't put it down! I can't wait for the next book!

Loved it!!!
I loved Bound by Earth and wasn’t sure what direction this series was going to go in but I was pleasantly surprised. Ra and Shelly are a well suited match, but it’s not just about them. This book really sets up this new world that the Quinn wants us to explore, which I loved. For me, this was book that really defines the universe that the characters live in - it wasn’t just words on a page.

I am absolutely in love with this series! A beautiful mix of humor, romance, and drama. The characters are written so well, and the stories that keep unfolding give me life! I never thought I’d be rooting for the ruler of the underworld, but Osiris is definitely my new favorite! I can’t wait to read what happens next!
April 29, 2020

It's a story that keeps you on your toes at every page. Dedicated royals, wise professors, smart students, great and funny friends, wonderful couples and warriors, amazing landscapes, and very detailed real mythology. A delight to read it. And a very difficult time waiting for the next story in the series.
August 19, 2020
Seriously so freaking good! As always, Quinn leaves the last chapter in such suspense. I am dying to know what happens next. I don’t know how she does it, but the way she writes is something else. Her characters are hilarious and also so relatable. I could not stop laughing while reading this book. When’s the next one coming out???!
November 20, 2022
Great book from a great author
As always her books have so much story to them. You can feel and understand the characters. Even though at times there is darkness there is also so much joy and things to laugh at. I would highly recommend this book or an other book Quinn Loftis has written.

as amazing as all her other books!
Gotta say I love the author’s writing style. I’ve read the grey wolves series and healers series. Both amazing! You won’t be disappointed, unless you have no sense of humor or passion, in which case carry on! Seriously though read her books! Soooo good!

From the very first sentence right up to the very last word, Quinn manages to yet again keep you captivated and wanting more. I cannot wait to see what happens next as this book left me H.O.T Hot as Hell and somehow Quinn has me crushing on the Devil 🙊
April 13, 2020
If you thought the first book was good. Then this one is better! Shelly is one strong chicka! All I can say is this book needs to be read. Quinn weaves this story so well you just keep wanting to turn the page to keep reading.

WHAT A FIERY JOURNEY!
The rambunctious elemental gang has returned in this face paced and often intense sequel. But be prepared, because this time our favorite author drags us through the depths of hell while introducing several new, interesting, and powerful characters along the way. Loftis admirably depicts strength of character and humor in the face of extreme adversity, and allows us to feel the magnitude of soul deep love. You may even being to wonder if your own significant other would truly be willing to go to hell and back for you!
I do recommend reading the first book “Bound By Earth” (if you haven't already) before diving into "Sealed By Fire" though, to get familiar with the story line and primary characters. You will be happily and quickly transported through these pages and left craving the next installment! Quinn Loftis definitely knows how to keep her readers hooked!

OMG
Quinn did it again. It is a must read book. It will have you engrossed that you will be begging for the next one to see how it all ends. I’m READY for the next one. Quinn knows how to pull you into each book/series she writes.

The story continues as Tara is thrown headlong into the world of elementals and with her mind still trying to grasp it all, Shelly is served up as reminder that all is not perfect in her world. The elemental s drive to understand what has ensued and their world is tipped up-side-down with what is discovered. Another great story that pulls you in and demands your attention.
July 15, 2020
Quinn always writes such fun, magical and adventurous books. I love her characters. Shelly and Tara are a riot and I am so glad that Shelly and Ra have a thing going. Gabby is a fireball and I can't wait to get to know her more. Bring it on Viscious and Dolion.... oh yeah... and Osiris!
December 15, 2023
I'm hooked
I am really enjoying this series. I like that unlike most series . The characters are progressing together in each book. Tara and Elias from book 1 story is still continuing with Ra and Shelly's story in book to. Can't wait to continue.
