The Elemental Prophecy #2
Emblazed
Three days. Three days seems like a lot of time, but not when you are racing to save the one you love. Not when time is against you.
Three days is all Jace has to save Brielle, to prevent both of their deaths. Both have more to battle than they ever imagined while they fight for their lives, their souls, and their love.
Will Jace be able to rescue Brielle, or will the fate of the world die with her?

Spoilers Alert!!
Wooow. What a complete and absolute waste of my time. I was no more impressed with this book than with its predecessor, "Envisioned." I'm glad I waited until I had absolutely nothing better to do with my time in order to read this stupid thing. Nothing would have been worth putting aside in order to read this book.
It was just as fast-paced as the first book and took just as little time to solve supposedly huge problems as it took making them in the first place. However, there was one situation that Sparxx seemed to find infinitely important and worthy of dwelling on for the majority of the damn book; the case of Hermes lusting after Brielle and stopping at nothing to rape her.
Why Sparxx felt this was such a huge deal that she would dwell on it for almost the entirety of this book, I don't have a fucking clue. It was an absolute waste to what I thought this book was going to be about. Hell, what this whole damn SERIES was going to be about!!
Wasn't the point to this whole series that Brielle was destined to kick Uranus's ass and save the world? With this book, the story wasn't about the issues of saving the world and Brielle coming into her awesome powers through her determination to aid in the greater good. Oh, no. This book has shown only the utmost care in completely centering itself around dwelling on the state of Brielle's fucking Virtue!! What...A...Fucking...Waste!!!
Last time I reviewed "Envisioned" I said that for all I cared, Brie could remain in fucking Hell. Well, now that she's decided to be even more idiotic than even I thought possible, for all I care she and Jace may remain in fucking Tartarus!!

So I was left with a pretty big cliffhanger after Envisioned. I mean Hades.. seriously! GAH! And just as I was starting to feel more relaxed after everything went down with those damn elders.. BAM!! FREAKING HADES!!! DAMN IT!!! Okay, let me back up. So from the get go, I was a little perturbed that Jace and Brielle were instant soul mates in Envisioned. I wasn't too sure how that was going to play into things. But, it plays into EVERYTHING! The twin flame thing is such an important factor in so much! They feed into each other in so many ways. Anyway, Hades, that bastard, has kidnapped Brielle, right in front of Jace's eyes. The heartbreak.. the utter devastation he feels. I felt so sorry for him. But he has a timeline and friends to go with him to get her back. And he has to get her back, he can't live without her, literally. And well, this is Jace , and he's hot and full of awesomeness, so he has to live. Not to mention being apart is going to slowly kill them... okay okay, I know what you're thinking. Okay, whew.. I'm calm now. So Jace has assembled his friends to go to the Underworld to save Brielle. All the while, Hades is torturing her. I did get a little bit of a giggle out of that part. Not so much because of the torture, but because of her spunk. Even being tortured she's still cussing him out. I loved it. She is truly a spitfire. Okay, so Jace and Brielle now can't talk to each other. But he has to navigate the ways of the Underworld to save her. Easy peasy, right? Yeah... right.. But thank the Gods, he has Zane. I swear that man was like a walking Greek Mythology historian. Keep him around! So all of them are trying to get to Brielle and save her. But they don't only have to save her from Hades. And this was where I got pissed. Now we have yet ANOTHER God who wants to hurt her for her powers. What the hell! When they get back from the Underworld, you think that is all that is going to happen right? They have won?! I was all excited. Relaxing. Thinking it's all going to be rainbows and butterflies. Of course not!! Hermes wants her now. So now he is hunting her. And of course he will use any means necessary. Throw in a little hostage situation with Hades, and these people have their hands full. I was seriously getting pissed! Like good lord, these Gods are coming out of the damn wood work to get her powers and kill her! Can't they catch a break anywhere?!! Of course, once you think one God is down, another pops up wanting her powers using any means necessary to get them.. ARE YOU SERIOUS!! GAH! So obviously, there is a ton ton ton of drama in this book. And well, obviously there is some serious steamy hot sex. Dude, do you remember what Jace looks like?? Yeah, it's not something you easily forget. Homeboy is HOT! Anyway if you are into mythology and looking for a hot steamy sequel. You maaaay want to look into this series. And let me warn you. If you thought book 1 had a cliffhanger... uh uh.. nope. Prepare yourself for one hell of a cliffhanger ending.

Emblazed picks up directly where Envisioned ended. Brielle has been taken by Hades to the underworld and Jace needs to save her in 3 days or Hades keeps her soul and tries to take her powers. Now here is the basic info you need to know in case you have not read Book 1. Which I must ask?? Why?? This series is awesome :)
Brielle is De Luca is the “The One” in group of special mortals called “Elementals”. Jace Vasquez is a famous UFC fighter and fire Elemental. He is also Brielle’s “twin flame” or the other half of her soul. Isn’t that sweet? I loved that. Very swoony when you read it. Jace alone is a reason to read this book. That man is all types of sexy. He is all man but so sweet with Brielle ***sigh*** plus he is Hispanic. I was done ;)
Now, Elemental's are all descendants of Roman Gods and each have one of 4 elements; Air,Water,Fire and Earth. Brielle is special because she has all the elements in her and needs to stop the prophecy of the world ending. Don’t you just love paranormal? I know I do cause it so far-fetched but so much damn fun to read. There are a lot more specifics to the story but that is the Cliff Notes version :) Don’t say I am not a kind person…hehe. I told you that you should have read Book 1.
I really want to tell you about all the awesome things that happened with Jace, Brielle, Zane, Kimber and Kiera but I really can’t cause I will give away too much. It really is so much more fun to experience it yourself by reading. What I will tell you….some crazy shit happens. Nikki really wrote some messed up but great stuff. She pushed and tested Brielle’s and Jace’s twin flame connection and sanity to limit in this one. Hades and the God’s in general live up to their fucked up selves. I used to love reading about them in school so this really fun for me.
This paranormal is not for the kiddies…lol. There is a lot hot scenes and some very emotional scenes in this book. Have I told you that paranormal books and sex scenes are like my nirvana? Well, yeah they are. The book had a good pace, it was fun to read and she develops the characters well. My only issue is the Brielle spent way too much time crying and then if she cried they had sex…lol. You will get to a point where every time she cries you know the sex will soon follow. Now the reason it didn’t bother me as much as I thought it would was because I got where the characters where coming from mostly and why Nikki wrote it into the scene plus some of those scenes were steamy. Nikki really did push Brielle to emotional limits in this book with some of the things that happened to her. The book ends in cliffhanger (you have been warned), literally…hehe. There is a cliff at the end. I can’t wait to read book 3 and see how Nikki warps up this great story.

Meg's Review:
The depth to which Jace will go for the woman he loves are deep. Deeper than you can imagine. After all they have been through he must save her from Hades. He must battle and rely on others while all the while trying to make sure that Brielle stays alive.
Though lets not forget who we are dealing with. Brielle is not a timid heroine in need of being saved, though in this situation she may need some help. Jace is her rock and in this book she need him in more ways than one.
This book was twice as good as the first. The writing, The development, the storyline it really evolved. This part of the series really tested limits and strengths. In all it helped the characters see where their weakness lie and how to face them.
I don't want to reveal anything but I can't not talk about it more.
Brielle is tested to the limits in this book. She faces demons head on and behind her back. The type of demons that sneak up on you.
Synopsis:
Three days. Three days seems like a lot of time, but not when you are racing to save the one you love. Not when time is against you.
Three days is all Jace has to save Brielle, to prevent both of their deaths. Both have more to battle than they ever imagined while they fight for their lives, their souls, and their love.
Will Jace be able to rescue Brielle, or will the fate of the world die with her?

*I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review*
Envisioned & Emblazed are books 1 & 2 in The Elemental Prophecy series. Neither are standalone novels, so be sure to read Envisioned first or risk being hopelessly lost. I am combining the review for these books since Emblazed picks us exactly where Envisioned ends, making it one story. Both books end in epic cliffhangers, so all I can do is hope Ms. Narvaez is diligently working on book 3.
Brielle is in for the shock of her life when on her eighteenth birthday she meets the man of her dreams (literally) and suddenly develops magical powers. She learns that not only is she an Elemental, able to wield the elements, but she is the one prophesized to save the world. Brielle accepts this quite well, though I think the fact that Jace comes with the deal makes it easier. The girl is crazy powerful, maybe a tad too powerful.
Romantic interest Jace is one of those would-be alpha males (a UFC fighter...yum) that is so soft hearted he treats Brielle like a pampered princess. It must drive him crazy that not only is she more powerful than he is, but she's the center of a very dangerous prophecy. Poor guy tries to protect her, but she doesn't really need any protection. I liked Jace (though the constant lovey-dovey stuff between the two threatened to make me ill after a while).
These books contain non-stop action making them fast-paced reads. The fight scenes and the elemental training scenes were well written and interesting. I also really enjoyed the Greek mythology sprinkled throughout the story. All the characters have major potty mouths which sometimes make the dialogue seem like the script to an R rated movie. Jace and Brielle can't seem to keep their hands off each other which leads to many graphic sexual situations.
Envisioned & Emblazed are New Adult novels and suitable for ages 18+. They contain coarse language, multiple sexual situations, and graphic violence. If you like mythology mixed with modern day paranormal romance, consider adding these books to your to-read list.

Jace has to save Brielle from Hades and the Underworld and he only has three days to do. He will have to have help from their friends and family and worries about their lives as well. Brielle struggles to survive and pull her powers to her. Being apart from her twin flame is wearing on her and she just knows she has to hang on. Hades isn't the only danger they have to worry about as they soon find out. There are many gods wanting part of the powers Brielle has and will go to any length to get them. Not only is their lives and love on the line but the fate of the world as well.
Brielle even being tortured and apart from Jace still remains strong and tries everything she can to fight back. She only continues to grow in power in this book. She truly cares for her friends, family and Jace. She feels a lot of guilt because they are always in danger. Jace will do anything to keep Brielle safe and he will stop at nothing to be with her. You see how far he will go in this book for her love.
I love the first book in this series and this book is a great follow up. You see Brielle and Jace both grow in power and see how strong their love is. They have to face Gods and unspeakable horrors as they fight for each other. These Gods will stop at nothing to get to Brielle and it causes both of them hurt. They still have time for lots of steamy scenes and it lets you se how powerful their souls are bonded. They can't seem to keep their hands off each other and it is somewhat a running joke between them. I enjoyed all the Gods that you get to see and the different places you go in this book. It has a good mixture of love, action, danger, mythology and so much more that makes it hard to put down. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys mythology, paranormal books or are just looking for something different to read. After the ending I can't wait for the next book.

I was so thrilled that I got this book to review. I adored the first, which was called Envisioned. I couldn't wait to continue the adventure.
Nikki is able to bring you into this world and connect you emotionally to the characters. Not just Brielle and Jace but the supporting characters as well!
Brielle and Jace are absolutely adorable. Their love for one another is so unshakeable and the support they give in trying times is amazing.
"Mi amante, you don't have to bear that burden alone. I'm here for you, always."
The other characters of Zane, Kimber and Kiera are hilarious and definitely do not always take a back seat which is always nice to see in a story!
This book continues pretty much right where Envisioned ends. Jace has 3 days to save Brielle or die trying. Literally!! He has to fight Hades and save Brielle from the underworld or lose her forever. Then just when they think they have a chance to breath, they are hit with challenge after challenge.They find they have to overcome many many obstacles just to save themselves and the world!
This book has so many OMG moments. I found myself saying "seriously, haven't these 2 been through enough?", but I enjoy how it seems to just makes them stronger!
"I'll always believe in you mi amante. Don't ever doubt that."
There are so many twists and turns that you don't see ANYTHING coming. There was no way for me to call was going to happen. I really liked that it kept me surprised through the whole story and never made for a dull moment!
Nikki - I can't wait for the third book to see what happens! I love Jace, Brielle and the whole gang. Thank you so much for an amazing story!

And the drama continues with Book 2!! Wow what a great continuation to this series!
Emblazed starts off right where Envisioned ended. Let me start off by saying I am so glad that I read this story right after I finished Envisioned because I wouldn’t have been able to wait for it to come out. You pick up right back where you left off with Jace trying to figure out how he is going to save Brielle from Hades in the Underworld. With the help of Kimber, Zane and Kiera you follow them on this journey to the Underworld with only 3 days to do it.
Ahhh!!! I couldn’t take it. This book has just as much angst and drama as the last one did. I got sucked right back into this world that Nikki Narvaez created. She is just an amazing author. I couldn’t stop reading. I had to find out what was going to happen. And believe so much happens! And the characters are so much fun to follow in these stories. Jace and Brielle are just amazing. I love them. They are sooo HOT together. Nikki really knows how to keep it HOT even though so much is going on around them. We also got more of the Greek mythology mixed into the story. Which I love and think is great how she wove the Elementals concept with the Greek Mythology. It makes for a very unique paranormal read. I cant say anymore GREAT things about this book without giving away to much. You have to read it!! JUST GREAT!!
And there is going to be MORE! YAY! I am not ready to stop reading about this group of friends and how they are going to save the world!
Another 5 star for me!!
A MUST READ!!!

Loved the first book, so no surprise that I would love the second. The storyline in so intriguing I love the whole mythological Greek gods meets modern day badass. Though I must admit the Greek gods 'politics' were so condescending and infuriating I became annoyed with them all! It's basically half of the gods listen to Zeus when told not to interfere in mortal lives and the other half were anarchy with no repercussion for their actions, it was ridiculous. Great switching points of view it makes the characters have more depth and the reader gets a better understanding of them.
The female lead as always was a total badass though being a bit helpless about halfway through pertaining to a certain situation but that is to be expected! I mean who would be, when a Greek god was continually trying to attack you! She did not disappoint in kicking ass and turning a frightening situation with no control to one with inspiration and admiration. Her romance with her twin flame is hotly addictive and does not disappoint.
Male lead was heart-wrenching in his fierceness of trying to save his twin flame and protecting her. The read from his point of view was never disappointing though he did give into his twin flames every desire making him seem weak and not being able to hold his own with the decision making.
Supporting characters are incredibly supportive of the heroic, for everything they go through together is a direct cause of the heroic. They don't have much to say, it would be really cool to get more detail about them besides the little bits that we get of them selflessly hurling their lives and happiness away in helping their leader.

WOW! I thought Envisioned was amazing, but Emblazed has seriously blown me away!
Emblazed picks up right where Envisioned left off. We're taken right into the heart of the story as Jace and the crew (Kimber, Zane & Kiera) try to find a way to rescue Brielle from Hades in the Underworld. I was literally on the edge of my seat the whole time. Ms. Narvaez fills her books with so much nonstop action, you will be in a continuous state of suspense waiting to see how everything unfolds. And you know its all leading up to something epic!
I love how she has intertwined Greek Mythology AND Elementals into her novels, with a modern day twist. It makes the story and the characters that much more interesting and really opens the door to endless possibilities and plot twists (of which there are many!). Seeing all the Greek Gods brought to life had me in absolute awe. We're introduced to even more of them in this installment and given even more insight into the world of Mythology. You're learning so much and you don't even know it!
As with Envisioned, I found the writing style to be captivating as well as fun, making it so easy to get hooked into. You will definitely have a hard time putting this one down, as there is NEVER a dull moment. Once again we have a mini-cliffhanger, BUT its done in a way that won't leave you feeling desperate for the next book. Ms. Narvaez really has mastered the art of the cliffhanger. She brings the story to its conclusion, yet leaves off much like your favorite TV show: leaving you highly anticipating the next episode!

February 24, 2018Emblazed by Nikki Navarez certainly didn't disappoint. It was filled with non stop action. It was a very fast paced ride that I couldn't get enough of. It's no secret how much I love the paranormal read but add the twin flames and their love and need and man you have me hooked. I didn't think I could love this story anymore then the first book. Nikki certainly proved me wrong. There is so much more going on and I didn't want to miss a minute.
Emblazed picks up where Envisioned left off. Brielle has been taken by Hades to the Underworld and Jace is besides himself. I mean these two just can't catch a break. With the help of Kimber and Zane they are all on a mission to get Brielle back before it's too late. There are a lot of other dangers in the underworld besides Hades. There may even be more that these two have to worry about.
Brielle and Jace seem to be in constant danger. Just when you think they have a moment of peace something else happens to rock the boat. I have to hand it to Jace he handles everything beautifully. His love and loyalty to his twin flame never fails. They truly are a strong force when together. The true love they share is amazing and you would think they couldn't get any closer then they already are, but they do. They get a lot closer.
You will want to hold onto your seats this is one wild ride. The use of greek mythology mixed with the elements is quite interesting. If you liked Envisioned then you will like this one too. It has to be one of my favorite paranormal reads thus far.

" I cupped her face in my hands and tenderly pressed a kiss on her lips. I lingered there,letting the sensations of our bond take over, filling the both of us with our love."
Emblazed started off right were book one left off. Jace has three days to rescue his twin flame Brielle form the underworld. She is being held captive by the God Hades. Jace and has to rely on his friend and family for help on this journey. Hades is not the only God after Brielle and is not the only challenge they encounter through out there journey.
Jace and Brielle seem to always be in danger. Just when thing seem to quiet down and go back to normally something happen. I love how Jace handles everything thing, he is not going to lose Brielle again. Kimber is a force to be reckon with, and I love her loyalty to Brielle.
Emblazed was action pack from start to finish. I love a good paranormal and this one had it all. I love that you had your more common Gods mix with some uncommon ones to. The twin flame bond between Brielle and Jace is hot as hell. In between all this craziness there was still time for some hot steamy sex scenes. And who doesn't like hot steamy sex scenes?
I can't wait until the next installment in this series. If you enjoy reading paranormal I highly recommend this book.
I received an arc from the author in exchanged for an honest review.

Emblazed by Nikki Narvaez is the sequel to Envisioned in The Elemental Prophecy Series. It is a fantastic read. The story continues right where it left off in book 1 and it had my attention from the very beginning.
At the beginning of the story, Hades takes Brielle back to the Underworld with him. Jace didn’t like that at all and Brielle had no choice but to go. Now Jace has three days to go save her to prevent both of their deaths. If he had it his way, Jace would go by himself but the Oracle told him that he needs his friend’s help on this journey. They will have to come up with a plan on how they are going to save Brielle and the safest route to the Underworld.
Jace’s journey to the Underworld with his friends has begun and now it is time to go save Brielle from Hades. On this dangerous journey, Jace and his friends will have to stay focus and watch each other’s backs. Will Jace and his friends make it in time to save Brielle before anything happens to her? Will they be able to get out of the Underworld safely without being caught?
As I was reading, I felt like I was on this dangerous journey with Jace and his friends to save Brielle. I could feel the rollercoaster emotions that Jace was feeling, his love for Brielle, the anger towards Hades and the pain of being apart from her.
Nikki Narvaez has done a fantastic job again. I am looking forward to reading more of Nikki’s books in the future. Emblazed is a must read and I recommend my friends to check it out.

**Review written for an originally posted on my blog, Book Bliss. I receievd a copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased and honest review**
Review: 4 stars
General: Please note this is the second book in the series and you honestly need to read book one first as they cannot stand alone. I loved this book. I still found the same issues as in the first but I think because I was invested in the characters it didn’t bother me as much. It was as if I had accepted that they were coarse and loving from second to second, which is another reason to read the first book just in case that’s what happened for me.
I felt the plot in this book was so much stronger! I love the first but this one stepped up the game in terms of concept as well as action. The flow was just as good as the first and even harder to put down. The growth in plot and characters in the two books is strong and builds beautifully on top of each other to make the readers truly feel like they are moving forward.
Characters: Brielle- Brielle was a lot more of the same in this one and we see her get stronger, in both personality and powers. Seeing her connection with Jace strained actually helped to make me love the two of them together.
Jace- As well Brielle we see Jace grow into himself. However in this one I liked him less. His alpha male side seemed to have warped and we see some temper tantrum and nasty reactions towards others. A little disappointed but still a great character.

Wow!! From Book 1 to Book 2 Ms. Nikki did a really great job!!
The story was fantastic!
About the story, I love the concept of the Elemental Prophecy. I might be somewhat familiar with be mate thing but I never got tired of it! I love how the story revolves on the main characters and I never get bored with it. The flow of the story is great, it's easy to follow and understand. The characters are also great. I have a bit of a problem in regards to Brielle's attitide sometimes but it's ok with me, it only made the story interesting. Jace on the other hand, I really love his character.
I really loved both books, the Envisioned and Emblazed. When I finished Envisioned, I was excited what will happen on Brielle (at the end part of Envisioned) and Jace. After I read it, I immediately started Emblazed, and I'm not disappointed on the next book! I love how Brielle and Jace's determination and love for each other be their motivation to deal with the challenges that they are facing. And most of all, the ending of this book, gah! I'm so excited what will happen next. I'm not disappointed on how the book to ended, I was even excited with it!
Ms. Nikki really rocked my world! If you are looking for a good read that has elementals, gods and other myth-related creatures with romance, this book is for you!

Oh my Jace I've missed your fine sexy a**, and you haven't changed one bit, well you may have gotten a little sexier, "everyone rushed out after me, asking questions and yelling all at once. I bellowed over everyone, "Stop! All of you, shut the eff up!" In this book we see a little more temper than usual but under the circumstances I don't mind the little temper tantrums, "I grabbed the lamp and threw it against the wall, where it shattered on impact. I was going to slaughter Hades for hurting my Brielle." Oh yea maybe, we see more than a 'little' temper in this book, "Brielle's words replayed over and over in my mind, fueling my all-consuming rage. I was going to kill that mothereffer for even touching Brielle." Even after all the time they've been apart he still puts her needs before his, "you need to eat first. Once I get you under me, I don't plan on letting you out of this bed for a long time. Plus, knowing you, you'll probably want to take a shower first anyway." Jace knows how to show his woman gratitude and how much he's missed her (winks) "eff, baby, I missed you. Missed being inside you," Jace groaned." The ending wasn't to terrible I liked that fact that they were together but there was a cliffhanger which means their story isn't finished yet.

Emblazed is packed with action, suspense, and of course, great romance.
Nikki's writing definitely has grown from book one and I know it will get better and better the more she writes.
Book 2 pushes us off the cliff we were left hanging from at the end of Envisioned. Boy does Nikki love those cliff hangers. ;)
Brielle's journey through Emblazed is a tough one emotionally, physically, and mentally. My heart hurt for her many times while reading, but she definitely showed me how strong she can be.
Jace is there for Brielle throughout, always protecting her and keeping her grounded. All while facing his own demons. Not only does he worry about his and his friends safety but he battles his insecurities of being strong enough to protect Brie. Jace uses being a fighter to his advantage. Who wouldn't want a hot fighter protecting you. *Swoon* ^_^
In Emblazed, all of the characters are pushed to their limits and their bonds are tested.
If you like paranormal romance then give the Elemental Prophecy series a try.

Note that you must read book 1 before this one. This review may contain spoilers if you have not read it yet!
Wow what an intense emotional rollercoaster this book takes us on! Brielle has been taken and Jace has 3 days to save her, but when has this girl ever just sat by and waited?
Jace is desperate to do whatever it takes to free his flame from Hades grip getting everyone together and embarking on what seems to be a near impossible mission is just the start for this book! Packed with action you never know quite what's going to happen next.
Brielle is becoming stronger and stronger but she still knows that she has things to learn and that she not only needs those around her but that they need her too. With a bunch a jerk Gods out to get her a little help every now and then is definitely appreciated but she definitely goes through the emotional wringer in this one.
Fast paced and filled with twists and turns allot happens throughout and I am very excited to see how this Trilogy will end!

This book was action-packed and full of devious wickedness. But then, what would one expect when dealing with the Underworld??!
I was really excited to see what Narvaez would put her characters through, and she definitely upped the ante in this story. Brie's powers, and her emotional and physical strengths, were tested to the max as she battled to save her soul while trying to keep everyone safe. Once again, there were a few curveballs tossed in for good measure, and just when it looked like they were in the clear, Brie and her friends were faced with even more adversity at the hands of the Underworld Gods.
I loved that this book was a bit darker than the first, and I really felt the threat of Hades and Hermes. There were a few gut-wrenching moments that had me on the edge of my seat, and I couldn't put this book down for one second.
Once again, this book ended with a major cliff-hanger and I NEED the third book, as in NOW!!!!

Even better than book 1...Emblazed did not disappoint!
I stumbled upon this series at a book signing as the cover for book 1 pulled me in. When I got a chance to read it I immediately downloaded this one from Amazon! This series is fast paced as it is packed into a very short time frame. The flow went well with all of the action transpiring, & upon finishing this one I can only hope there will be more to come SOON. The journey has been intense for these characters in their mysterious chaotic world, & I am so glad I joined them!!
The supernatural war of Demons vs. Nephilim vs. Gods/Goddesses is one of my favorite subjects to read lately. Emblazed has a lot of awesome fight scenes as well as romantic moments the characters snuck in between battling for their lives. I need more!! That cliffhanger demands more!

The mythology is the best part of the book. I thoroughly enjoyed all the gods. I also liked seeing Jace being needed. In book 1, Brielle (I know I spelled that wrong but I spent the entire book calling her Barilla like the pasta.) Jace kept trying to protect her when she didn't really need it. Hello all powerful 4 elements weilder. Yay, thank Hades she needed his help this book.
With all the action packness there was still time for sexy moments because this is NA...we need the smex.
The story was super solid and the cliffhanger makes sure readers will return for book 3. Hopefully it is soon.
Cover Whore:
Another breathtaking cover. wow.

Ok Nikki I want to know how the hell you did it ???? This one was so much better then the first one I'm mean it was crazy Hades I mean come on!!!! I love how this book Bounces back and forth between Jace and Brielle I mean book one does that as well but I feel in this one there is a bit more going on. I love that I never feel like I'm missing out on anything that happens with either Jace or Brielle. Omg the end of this book is driving me insane I so cant wait for book 3 if you thought book 1 had a cliffhanger think again because this one is even bigger and better.
