Of Demons and Dragons #2
Elemental Shadowed
An ancient secret and a set of murals could save the world or doom them all.
Tessa doesn’t have much to go by if she’s going to rescue humanity. The prophecy she needs to understand is a closely guarded secret and the murals she found are giving nothing away. After barely surviving her last fight with the demons, she’s thrown into this one before she’s ready.
Only, this time the demons have amassed more power and all of Atlantis is at stake. With her warriors by her side, she’ll not only have to fight for their survival, but also try to unravel the prophecy and mural’s meaning. More questions than answers meet them at every turn. The attempts on Tessa’s life become more frequent when the rumors fly that the key to all of this is a woman.
Their journey may only have just begun, but they’re already running out of time. Can Tessa figure out the clues before innocent lives are lost or does fate have a more deadly plan in mind?
Fans of Elizabeth Briggs, Jaymin Eve, and Linsey Hall will tear through this sexy reverse harem series.

Wow i seriously dont know how Tessa (FMC) coped with everything that happened to her in this book. Flaming hell it was a lot. Tessa and the guys - Finn, Griff, Kai and Dres spend the majority of this book trying to decipher the Prophecy that they seem to be in the middle of as well as work out where they stand with their budding relationship.
I loved the different POV's. It added to the story for me. That cliffhanger ending was just knockout!! This series is just getting better and better. Im loving reading it so much

This is the second book in Helen Scott’s Of Demons and Dragons series. It’s action packed from start to finish.
Tessa and her men are back! As they try to figure out a hidden prophecy and how to stabilize all the realms, with Tessa as the key to it all. The more they uncover, the more questions arise.
Helen Scott leaves us with a doozy of a cliffhanger, and I can’t wait for the next book.

Tessa has been through so much! I absolutely flipping love this series and Tessa is a main reason for that. She and her guys continue to search for answers and in the process discover new secrets and encounter things they have to overcome. Helen Scott has done an amazing job of creating an addicting world that you almost feel like you can jump into it. I can't wait to see what happens next.

Elemental Shadowed is the second book in the Of Demons and Dragons series and it was awesome. Tessa and the guys are in Finn's homeworld of Atlantis and if you thought things got exciting at the end of Elemental Awakened then you haven't seen anything yet. The prophecy is finally revealed, the One World Group hasn't given up on their plans, and danger lurks everywhere. Tessa and the guys are scrambling to stabilize the worlds before it's too late.
Tessa has to be strong as hell because she goes through a lot in this book. Not only does she have several worlds depending on her, the Queen's advisors are looking down on her making things more difficult than they have to be but then add in all the time that Tessa has almost died in this book things are pretty crazy. Through it all Tessa holds it together, she thinks through situations, fights back when she needs to, and is starting to trust her instincts even more than before. Tessa might not be strong but she has an inner strength and cares not only about those she is close to but about all the living creatures in the realms and she has the guys by her side as she goes through all of this.
The guys had a few issues they had to deal with in this one, the guys are very protective of Tessa, so her being in constant danger has pushed them in extra protective mode, causing some to act differently and mildly strain things for a while. Then there are the relationship issues, Tessa being attracted to all four guys and all the guys being attracted to Tessa. Tessa thinks it's wrong to be with all the guys but she is slowly getting over that, she and Finn connected in the last book and is continuing their relationship in this book and now Griff and Tessa are starting to explore things, and while there was an issue for a moment with Tessa being open and the guys understanding things work out. As for Dresden he has feelings but isn't reading the situation right and Kai is being Kai, in other words, he's in deep denial about his feelings and chooses to do the exact opposite although at times he can't help but shows he cares. Reading from his perspective was quite interesting but I still don't understand why he's fighting it but he can't hold out forever.
Atlantis is very beautiful but the description of the ruins that Tessa and the guys stumble upon are fantastic and seem to be important to the story. A few things have been mentioned and some questions asked by Tessa have made me think that something happened in the past that hasn't been revealed yet. Also, the mystical animals of Atlantis seem to be tied into everything and not just the destruction of the worlds, I think something else is going on there but Helen moved on before I got answers. The magic in this book is great, the elemental aspects not to mention the portals and other unique magic are fantastic and interesting and because of it Tessa finally has a direction with the prophecy and what she needs to do. I have a theory about what needs to happen, at least a part that needs to happen, then maybe more would be revealed.
Elemental Shadowed is a fast-paced adventure with plenty of steam and brooding guys but the plot is getting really good with attacks happening, talk about the other realms, deciphering the mystery of the prophecy, and beautiful magic. Tessa is growing into her role as the Key and the guys are learning to incorporate her into the group while learning to open up to each other a little more. This book ended on one heck of a jaw-dropping moment that's gonna make the wait for the next book that much harder because I'm already ready for the third book, Elemental Taken.

A story that takes you on a journey that you awed inspired. It is packed with action, drama, suspense, and hint of mystery as Tessa and the guys continue to try and figure out the prophecy that surrounds the 5 worlds. It is a never ending race of problems. There are moments of happiness and joy throughout it. You can feel their pain and anguish as well their happiness as you progresses on the amazing journey they experience. It is extremely well written and developed. The descriptions are vivid and radiant as this gives us a broader experience. It is an absolute must read. Yes, it does end in a major cliffhanger but it only wets your appetite for more.

Holy smokes!!!✨💖🌊
W O W !!!!! First off prepare yourself now for one humdinger of a cliffy at the end of this gem that will leave you desperate for book three. My guess however, is it will most definitely be worth the wait 😉. I absolutely LOVED this book! Tessa and the guys take us on an even more complex journey in this book. We dive into a far richer and nuanced world(s) filled with many different layers and players. The character development grows by leaps and bounds, and we really get a glimpse into what makes each of our main characters who they are. There's plenty of intrigue, mystery, prophecy, alpha male posturing, steamy moments, and just plain awesomeness spread all throughout these magical pages. All in all its a really fun read!! I absolutely cannot wait for book three!!

Nothing like easing you into it with this sequel! 😬 Starting with the aftermath of the accident attack at the Atlantean palace it’s entirely touch and go for Tessa. As it is actually for her throughout most of the book 🙈 she faces numerous challenges throughout the book due to her quest, the demons for one realm and in general!
We find out more about the prophecy and begin to get an inkling of the five of their roles within that, although nothing is truly confirmed it’s still shrouded in mystery 🧐
Her relationships with a couple of the guys truly heats up and there’s some scorching scenes 🔥 although it’s not always plain sailing between Tessa and her guys 😩 especially with the other two conflicted over how they truly feel! *cough cough* you’re fooling no-one 😂
Cracking read and can’t wait to see what gets the ok at them next! 😃

This is a brilliant second book in this series! Helen Scott really knows how to write a story that enthralls you and wonderful, captivating characters. I absolutely loved the multiple POV and love how it gets us to know all the MCs at a deeper level. It is great to get more in-depth with Tessa and Griff, there connection is intense…I really enjoy that Tessa’s relationships with the four guys are developing at all different paces and they all have there own way of coping with what is happening. Griff and Finn have a great friendship and also Kai and Dres…it will be interesting to see how they all develop as a 5! Then of course about her cliffhanger ending that had me wanting more immediately….I can see the next book will be majority about Dres and Tessa and I can’t wait to see their connection grow deeper. Of course Kai will hold out the longest, he is stubborn and intense! I cannot wait for more that this exciting universe.

Not again
They just don’t get a break. Tessa seems to find trouble even if she isn’t looking forward it. Death seems to chase them the future is beyond unknown. It seems that they solve part of the puzzle a bigger piece appears and needs solving. Will Tessa and the guys figure it out or will death become them all? Will they see what as a reader we can determine from the prophecy?
Only time will tell

Wow such a great story. I didn’t want to put it down. We get much more background on some things, but tons more new questions. Tessa is coming into her own and accepting things and evolving into this key she is meant to be. Dear lord though did she have so much bad luck with someone(s) or something trying to kill her. She was put through the ringer. As is with this series each book ends on a cliffhanger and you just are waiting with baited breath for the next one!!! What could go wrong now going into another realm? We shall see!
September 18, 2021
Holy other world realms, this book ended in a cliffhanger of cliffhangers. I don’t know if I’ll be able to start another book for a while. I was so submerged in this story, the ending left me reeling. The character writing is amazing, and always leaves me wanting to know more because it’s never enough. The story draws you in from the start and never let’s go. I absolutely need the next book ASAP. LOVED IT.

This series just gets better and better. The events that take place will have you glued too your kindle. Tessa will go through so much too save all the realms. Tessa, Finn and Griff grow closer and I’m dying too see them all together. The connection between them all is off the charts. I can’t wait too read what happens next especially after how this book ended.

The book starts right off where book 1 left. Tessa needs to find out more about the prophecy if she wants to save Atlantis and her world. Thankfully, she has her warriors by her side. Tessa's relationship develops with some of them, and I can't wait to see how it will continue.

Helen Scott continues to build numerous world that will come together.
I like that this continues right where "Elemental Awakened", book 1, ends. I also like all the development in Tessa's relationship between her and her men. There is so much steam, heat, and chemistry between them as well. This is a book with many adventures and many emotions. I highly recommend this series.

Tessa and her men are back and while she uncovers a hidden prophecy. She has overcome so many trials while figuring out where she.belongs. Huge character development and loved learning more about the guys. This is such a fantastic continuation. Completely action packed, emotional, and very addicting. After that cliffhanger, I need more!!
September 18, 2021
A crazy adventure… I can’t believe the adventure that Tessa and her guys had to go on in this book. Insane doesn’t even begin to cover it. Loved this book so much and i can tell this series is definitely going to be my favorite. I am so crazed to see what is going to happen in the next book that I want time travel powers so I can fast forward to its release. The cliffhanger has be gripped also. I need to know what’s going to happen! Pick up this series!! You won’t be sorry!

holy hell……..
Tessa wants to know how to save the people from the prophecy, but she feels like something is being kept from her. As she explores what she can do and what is being asked of her she also is exploring her relationship with the guys. This is action packed and steamy. I could not put this book down and cannot wait for the next one!

I really enjoyed this book. This was a book that grabbed me from the beginning and would not let me go until I reached the end and then I was needing more. It moves along at a comfortable reading speed which makes for an easy and enjoyable read. The characters are interesting and feel so real that you feel as though you know them personally and you cant help but love them. The story will grab you keeping you interested and reading till the end. This book needs to be read.

Just wow.
This is the 2nd book in the series. The first left us with one hell of a cliffhanger, thankfully Helen Scott didn't hesitate to jump right in with this book.
Tessa and the 4 knights. A hidden prophecy. A lost temple. Creatures thought to be long dead. Water dragon. War. Death.
This book keeps you on your toes. The descriptions are beautiful. The clothes and the city everything is beautifully captured. The spice is 🔥🔥🔥 outa 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Its there its hot but i wants more. I will be ordering book 3 as i can not wait to see who tessa mystery man is, and how the land of lava & fire plays out.

I highly recommend this series!
