Elemental Evolved is the fifth and final book in the Of Demons and Dragons series. What an intense, wild ride this series has been. I mean the Tessa and her guys, Finn, Griff, Dres, Niall, and Kai, have been through sooo much. When they've finally reached Agartha, things are not what they were supposed to be. However, throughout the trauma, turmoil, there's light for our favorite characters! This was such a satisfying ending and I'm glad they got their HEA!

Elemental Evolved, the final installment of the Of Demons and Dragons series by author, Helen Scott. This was definitely a go big or go home book for me. Our FMC Tessa has to find the final stone in the last realm, Agartha so she can stop the worlds from colliding. But now she's been ripped away from all but one of her guys and dropped into a realm where even he isn't welcome even though he was born there. The descriptions of the realm make it sound amazing, but there's something not quite right with it and Tessa needs to find out what.

There is so much going on in this book, and it has a fast pace from start to finish with decisions needing to be made right here, right now. While some of the decisions are forced, they aren't all that bad in the end. The book is a fantastic conclusion to the series and while I'm sad that its over now, I really enjoyed the entire series.

Tessa is finally in Agartha, and separated from a few of her men, to find the final stone she needs to save the realms can she do it. Elemental Evolved is an adventure to read I really loved this series alot.

[Noemi · Rating 4 out of 5]

Noooooo! I don't want to see the ending. I need more of Tessa and her guys. We have spent so much time together 😭😭😭

It's bitter sweet every time I finish a series, and this time it's worse than others because I LOVED IT! I'm happy Tessa and the guys got their HEA, but still. Now I can only hope for a novella or some short stories 🤞

Things aren't going to plan for Tessa. Only one more stone, which should be easy and peaceful (hopefully) to obtain, but that's asking too much. Not everyone wants Tessa to succeed so she needs to survive and go back with all of her guys.

I can't believe this is it. Elemental Evolved is the final book in the Of Demons and Dragons series and it was a joy to read. I've waited so long for this book and I'm sad to see the series is over but I'm overly joyed to have the final book in my hands.


Tessa's life has been put in danger more times than I can count but she always stayed strong. However, Tess broke a little in this book, after being separated from the guys she went into a depression spiral, and after everything that kinda broke my heart. But she doesn't stay broken after reuniting with the guys she gets her fire back and it was good to see. Tessa has a big heart, her empathy knows no bounds, she tries to do the right thing all the time, and she stands up for everyone. Love truly is a driving force for her.


The guys got all up in their feels in this one. They were always worried about Tess but I don't think it could have been expressed more clearly than in this book. I love the guys. The awe, devotion, and love they have for Tess is something else but because of the dangers so is the fear they have all felt, and in this book, they vocalize it more clearly. They love and are committed to Tess and every single one of them (even Kai) makes that clear in this book.


Helen came out swinging with this book. Seriously, action from page one, surprise reveals, emotional trauma, and the craziest plot twists, kept this book moving at a fast pace. First, they are finally in Agartha, Kai's realm and things are shady af. The leader can't be trusted, the people are rude, and Kai's secrets are revealed. Truthfully, I didn't realize how much Kai put on himself, nothing was due to any actions on his part. His backstory is kinda crazy and truthful his people don't deserve him. The caretakers have an important role in this book, not only do they have a task but they reveal a key piece of information about Tessa that has me wondering a very important question that unfortunately I didn't get the answer to and I think Helen wrote it that way on purpose, just to drive me crazy with needing to know. Very dramatic.


The gang has saved the day. Elemental Evolved was an exciting conclusion to the series, there were so many surprising moments and a few plot twists that had me shook. Tessa has gone through a lot throughout the series and this book just added to the list, so I can say that I'm glad she got her HEA. The epilogue was great, perfect for such an amazing series. I must say I wouldn't mind a novella set years later to answer a few burning questions. Here's to hoping.

I have waiting for this book for awhile now and let me say it is absolutely worth the wait. It is the end of our absolute amazing journey of Tessa and the guys. While I have mixed feelings about this as yes I was super excited to get this book I was also sad as we finally come to the end. But, we have seen Tessa and the guys going through so many obstacles just to reach this point and they always came out on the other end stronger. This one is no different. It has so much action, drama, and suspense throughout it. We learn more about the guys and their histories. We finally get to Agartha, which is supposed to be peaceful. This is the place that we hope everything will go smoothly. What I will say is that it was surprising what happens in order for Tessa to get the stone. This was a bit of a quick read to me but I am not sure if it because I couldn’t put it down. I absolutely had to find out what happened. It is extremely well written and developed. It pulls you in and doesn’t let go. The descriptions are extremely vivid and this was so appreciated as it allowed me to easily picture what was occurring. This story/series is absolutely a must read. You will not be able to put it down.

This is my 2nd time reading this series, and I can remember I actually loved it the first go around. I guess that goes to show me that reading tastes have changed quite a bit in recent years. Especially seeing as now I'd rate the whole series as a 2.5 now... main reason is because I disliked the way the fmc treated the guys. She was so mean in the second book, and honestly, it only got slightly nicer later. She just rubbed me the wrong way. Her character is portrayed as smart and independent (in the beginning), but literally, throughout this whole series, all she did was whine and complain about everything. She acted little more than a child throwing a tantrum 80% of the series. I wanted so much more from her character. If she was changed out and wrote with different character traits, I'd probably have enjoyed the books more cuz I absolutely adored the guys. Also, there was no originality in the sexy scenes, and I thought maybe there'd be some spice even between the male characters cuz of a few instances, but nope, nada just boring repetive scenes. Needs more editing. Anyways it wasn't worth it for me, but for some it would be. So that's why I'm rating it 2.5.

Captivating Conclusion 😄
*RH
*paranormal
*multi-pov
*human FMC
*dragons
*mixed harem (inc twins)
*mud burn 🔥
*quest
*5/5
Well it was certainly not the welcome Tessa and Kai would have liked from Agartha! And poor Tessa is left to deal with the devastation of her harem’s choices, but deal she does not 😩😩
When her harem find her they have some difficult decisions to make 🙈
They certainly have their issues within the first part of this book but thankfully their connections are solid and they work through them together🥰 and certainly bond together too 🌶️🔥🌶️
As they go in search of the fourth and final stone they find it’s just as treacherous as Tessa other quests and what’s more their suspicions about the leader soon come to true although not in a way they expect 😬😬😬
With the fate of the worlds in her hands Tessa has to once again be selfless and she’s truly put through the ringer for her decision 😣
Thankfully, Tessa Finn Griff Dres Niall and Kai her their well deserved HEA 😍
There’s heartache and heartfelt emotions in this final book!

[Nikki · Rating 4 out of 5]

Finally! Tessa is in Agartha. Yes, there were One Realmers chasing her and her men, but Agartha was the final realm she needed to visit and retrieve a stone then all the realms could be stabilized and the apocalyptic ending the universe was headed for could be ended.

Agartha is beautiful with its forests, but things definitely aren’t right. Trapped in her spiraling thoughts about leaving El Dirado, Tessa doesn’t realize the potential dangers until it’s almost too late to counter her enemies moves.

Moving quickly and making decisions, Tessa faces surprising choices, but isn’t upset, more relieved than anything. With time growing short, it’s time to push to save the realms before it all ends.

This gripping read brings the ending of Tessa’s adventures through the realms to help stop the violent “merging” that will end everything. Readers will scream, rage, laugh, sigh, and everything else.

[Ellie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh my gosh! When this hit. my kindle I was so excited that we get to see the conclusion of Tessa and her guy's story. I was a bit sad too knowing that this was the end but Helen did an amazing job giving these characters an amazing ending. Tessa and her guys have gone through SO much to reach the point they have in their relationships. They know that they need to lean on each other, with the drama, suspense, and action in book 5.

We learn more about the guy's pasts which I loved learning, I like that even though it's the end we still got to know more about them. When they finally arrive, Agartha isn't the peaceful place that you think it is. There are some leftover surprises, for Tessa as she tries to get the stone.

This story met an amazing conclusion and I love how fleshed out everything was between the characters and the story. Once you start this series you won't want to put it down.

[Diane · Rating 5 out of 5]

I voluntarily reviewed a copy of ELEMENTAL EVOLVED". WOW!!!! What an epic conclusion to this awesone series so much happens your on the edge of your seat with all the action, suspense, intrigue, drama, surprises & twists you can't put down.
Tessa finally gets to Agartha hoping everything will go ok looking for the last stone when Finn, Griff, Dres, Niall & Kai find her they have issues that need working out their connections are strong finding this stone is as treacherous as the others were.
Tessa deals with so much trauma less hope of her being able to do what she has to with her determination & her relationship with Kai developing beyond what it was she feels she can see this through.
I definitely recommend to get this extremely well written epic conclusion that had you turning the pages to see if Tessa & her guys will succeed in saving all the realm, getting a HEA when it all over so many I expected twists you can't put down such an addicting ending loved it.

So sad to say goodbye 😔

The final book in Tessa's journey is here, and it's making me feel all the feels saying goodbye *sniff sniff*. I'm still hoping that *maybe* there will be a spinoff 😉. Just because this is the final book doesn't mean it's boring- get ready for action, mind games, dragons, prophecy, and so much more! Our gal and her guys have already been through oh so much, and it's all led to this point. Tessa is one brilliant FMC filled with heart and determination. She tries to save those who can't save themselves, and sometimes even those who don't deserve it. She's triumphed over pain that would cripple most people, and still walks with her head held high. The final act in this journey with Tessa and her guys is a wonderful ride indeed. I just wish we had more to come...but then again, ya never know 🤷🏻‍♀️😉. I highly suggest reading this entire series.

[Maureen · Rating 5 out of 5]

I've been waiting for the final book in this series for a long time, and it didn't disappoint!

To recap, Tessa was discovered to be the key to reunite the elemental realms, and has spent the last 4 books fighting her way through them, and gathering what she needs to complete her task. We pick up as she arrives in the fourth, Kai's home of Agartha.

There is a feeling of here we go again - Tessa and her men have to battle the bad guys, she needs to complete the quest to get the stone, and then figure it out from there. However, it's the good kind of familiar and each book approaches this from a unique perspective, as unique as each of the realms.

I'm sorry to say goodbye to these characters, but the ending is satisfying enough, and everyone gets what they deserve. Would love to see more books in this universe in the future though.

[Samantha Silensky · Rating 5 out of 5]

That this is the end of the series makes me a little sad because I loved this series so much, but the end was so amazing I can’t begrudge it. Tessa had her work cut out from her since the beginning, especially being from a world where magic wasn’t considered real, and being told she had to save not only earth, but all the realms she didn’t know about. Add that with the trauma from her mother, and the things she dealt with in each realm, it was a hard road for her to traverse. Despite all that, we arrived at the final book mostly intact, with a bit more trauma and a bit less hope for being able to do this. That didn’t stop her determination though, and through the book we see her determination and relationship with Kai develop beyond what it was to see this through. Loved the book and world. Story was phenomenal.

[Lene Blackthorn · Rating 4 out of 5]

The final installment in the series follows Tessa to the last realm she has not visited yet to find the final stone - but the journey definitely does not take off well. Separated from everyone but Kai, she arrives in Agartha, only to be welcomed a bit strangely. The impression of the realm might be pleasant on the surface, but it becomes more and more clear there is something off, and Tessa's journey to the last stone isn't without challenges, obstacles, and mortal danger.
I really enjoyed the whole adventure and exploring all five different realms, as much as getting to know the men bonded to Tessa and watching the bonds strengthen. The world building was exciting, there was a lot of turmoil and drama in the story, and the romance packed some heat too. Very solid RH PNR series all in all.

[Lis J · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ok this is a wild Journey i'm going to resume the whole series here!

SO we start with Tessa been harrased by a clasmate and she saved herself and meet this cute guy Finn that same night she discover that exist such thing like demons and there is a prophecy that she is the key to save all this realms ( 5) and meet the others griff, dres, kai, Finn are part of a Warriors group who where sent to find the key. And there is a Lot that happened in this , first the Brotherhood that this guys had is so good, and we met Niall who was the last to joint this harem. The thing that Tessa had to go trought is amazing how she was this strong woman who suffer a awful Childhood and was someone who fight to do the right thing Even when she wanted to let go or give up. They guy also grow up stronger had forged this Brotherhood with cry,blood and Sacrificed.

Mystical Journey of Empowerment

‘I pulled on all the magic I could feel around me and the magic that was in me as well. In my mind, it was like a spiderweb spread out over everything. Each strand absorbed the magic of what it was connected to before feeding it back to me and through me to the dragon.’

In Helen Scott’s Elemental Evolved, we pick up where this story ended in book 4, Elemental Bound. Tessa finds herself in Kai’s world, and nothing is as it seems.

Having 2 already formed mate relationships, and a set of brothers who have become an intimate part of this magical paranormal family, Kai is the one on which this story focuses.

Filled will high energy, danger, and passion, we are brought along on Tessa mystical journey to save all of the dimensions that have been entrusted to her as the ‘key’.

Fantastic details has us smelling, tasting, seeing, and hearing, these worlds and the unexpected twists thrill Scott’s readers.

[Kira · Rating 5 out of 5]

Elemental Evolved was a phenomenal ending to the Of Demons and Dragons series! With everything leading up to this epic conclusion, I am happy to say I devoured this book. Tessa and her guys have been through so much, not only through their journey but also their relationships. But this book does not hold back any punches, and there are still plenty of action packed twists and turns. Now that Tessa is in Agartha, the heroes had hoped this meant they were safe, but enemies still lurk around every corner and as before, they must all stay strong in order to win. It isn't just all action as we also get some more tender and heated moments between Tessa and her guys. All in all, this was a fantastic series with an incredible conclusion!

[Seraphia Bunny · Rating 5 out of 5]

The end has come, and it's a well-deserved rest for Tessa and her men. They've finally made it to their final destination, but at what cost? Tessa has suffered a lot, but it's not over until it's over and the One Realmers aren't going to let things end without a fight. There won't be an epic battle that takes a few chapters to resolve itself, but there will be plenty of drama to keep you page-turning to find out what happens next. It will be a touch disappointing when things end quicker than expected...(you're going to be blazing through these pages), but you'll be mostly satisfied when you to the conclusion of the story.
Short, steamy, drama-filled - overall satisfying ending: 4.5 out of 5 stars.

[JJ Cornette · Rating 4 out of 5]

A wonderful conclusion to a fun series. Book 5 starts right where Book 4 leaves off. Tessa and Kai leave the rest of the guys in a fight for the lives to save the realms and find the fourth stone in Agartha. Thankfully Tessa and the boys aren't split up for long, and being together on Agartha also means that we get to learn a little more about Kai and they get to cement their relationship. Elemental Evolved was a fast paced but great conclusion. Relationships evolved and cemented, questions were answered, the realms were saved and there are dragons! If you're looking for a fun read I highly recommend.

[Debbie Eyre · Rating 5 out of 5]

I cannot believe that we are at the end of this fantastic series but we are and the author has done a wonderful job finishing it all up. It’s been one hell of a journey and Tessa and her guys have not had it easy and have had to ‘climb ‘ some pretty steep mountains to make it to the other side, but they did and they have and it was so worth it. Drama, danger, action , adventure and suspense has had me glued to these pages from start to finish and we finally get answers to all of our questions! Incredible world building, exciting and thrilling storyline and some fantastic characters that I will definitely miss, I will definitely be reading this series again.

[Mary · Rating 5 out of 5]

The final book. Tessa has been in soo much danger her whole life. She showed a more vulnerable side this book. She got separated from her men and went into a spiral. She is able to reunite with them. The guys are understandably always worried for Tessa. They truly love and care for her which is amazing. This book definitely has loads of action, emotion and plot twist. They finally made it to Agatha. And things are not good. The leader is a twoot Woofle, the people arent friendly and Kai has all his secrets revealed. His people do not deserve him, he is too good for them. Im glad they got the hea they deserved …. I loved this series. Im sad to see it end.

[Jennifer Soppe · Rating 5 out of 5]

Left me in pieces until the end

Tessa, a graphic design student, has been to most of the other magical realms and barely survived the trials set upon her since meeting Finn, Kai, Dresden, Griffin, and Niall. As the story progresses separation sends emotions reeling, the last mate shares his feelings, and the final stone may keep them from completing. Elemental Evolved left me in pieces until the end. I know for a fact that Tessa had to become strong yet still remain sensitive to the feelings of others in order to complete the prophecy set forward long before she was born.

I received a free copy of the book from the author. I had the opportunity to review or not.

[Kenzie Ryan · Rating 4 out of 5]

I loved this conclusion to Tessa’s story! This book was action packed right from the very first page. We finally got to see Kai’s world which is supposed to be peaceful, but they quickly find out that not everything is as it seems. I read this book in 1 sitting because I couldn’t put it down! Helen Scott did such an amazing job with the world building and has created something so unique with this series. I’m sad that it’s over, but I’m glad Tessa and her guys finally got their HEA after everything they’ve been through. I would love for there to be a novella released as an extended epilogue so we can see Tess and her guys years in the future.

[Raina · Rating 5 out of 5]

An amazing conclusion to a very unique series. I love how we have traveled to different realms that are each completely different from the others. The only things in common are their need to have the key save them but also a dangerous cult that would have the key destroyed. For Tessa that isn’t good as she is the key. She has faced death multiple times and hasn’t broken. But now it may be just too much. The one thing she always had was her men but even they can die. Can she make the big choices and lose it all to save everyone?

[Mikie Ross · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the final book in this amazing series. Book 5 does not disappoint. We finally arrive at the final realm, and Tessa is so lost in her head she almost goes head first into danger. Tessa must race against the clock and get ever growing enemies to find the final stone and restore the realms.
I loved that we got to see into the guy’s history and their backstory. While this book moved fast, it did not feel rushed or incomplete. I definitely recommend this whole series! The characters are so well written they come alive, and I could not put it down!

[thenerdybookworm_ · Rating 4 out of 5]

Elemental Evolved is the final book in Tessa’s epic journey.

Tessa has finally reached the last realm in her journey and that much closer to retrieving the final stone. With her thoughts spiraling from the last realm, Tessa doesn’t realize the dangers of this new realm until it’s almost too late.

Tessa and the guys have overcome so many hurdles to get to where they are. With twists and turns they’ve had to learn how to trust each other, which in turn helped their relationship grow.

I’m sad to see the last of them, but this series was so good and definitely worth the read.

[Tiffany · Rating 3 out of 5]

so…

Now that I have finished all 5 books, I believe this didn’t need to be a series. All 5 should have just been sections within a completed book. Dragging along the stories with mundane details, pages describing the MC’s latest outfit, and tiresome inner monologue wouldn’t be necessary if this was just ONE novel.

I hope this helps someone save time. The story wasn’t perfect and I did enjoy it - flaws and all. However, I don’t feel it deserved 5 books to get to a conclusion.

[Lory · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm sad that we finally have come to the ending of this great series. But let me tell you that this book was so worth the wait. Filled with plenty of intrigue, action, suspense, and of course steamy romance to keep you hooked from beginning to end. Overall a great read. As always my reviews are totally voluntarily and no monetary compensation was received and the opinions I have expressed are completely my own.

Epic finale!!

Helen brings us an epic finale to the Of Demons and Dragons series! The story of Tessa and her men is another wild rollercoaster ride of emotions and events that leads to their well deserved HEA. Lovingly written with complex characters and plot twists that keep you turning pages throughout, this story grabs you and doesn't slow down till the satisfying ending. I loved reading this story and highly recommend the series. Don't miss out!!
