Filled with
magic, thrilling adventure, and sweet romance, Elementals: The Prophecy of Shadows is the first in a new series
that fans of Percy Jackson and The Secret Circle will love!
When Nicole
Cassidy moves from sunny Georgia to gloomy New England, the last thing she
expects is to learn that her homeroom is a cover for a secret coven of witches.
Even more surprisingly … she’s apparently a witch herself. Despite doubts about
her newfound abilities, Nicole is welcomed into this ancient circle of witches
and is bedazzled by their powers—and, to her dismay, by Blake—the school’s
notorious bad-boy.
Girls who get
close to Blake wind up hurt. His girlfriend Danielle will do anything to keep
them away, even if she must resort to using dark magic. But the chemistry
between Blake and Nicole is undeniable, and despite wanting to protect Nicole
from Danielle’s wrath, he finds it impossible to keep his distance.
When the Olympian
Comet shoots through the sky for the first time in three thousand years,
Nicole, Blake, Danielle, and two others in their homeroom are gifted with
mysterious powers. But the comet has another effect—it opens the portal to the
prison world that has contained the Titans for centuries. After an ancient
monster escapes and attacks Nicole and Blake, it’s up to them and the others to
follow the clues from a cryptic prophecy so that they can save their town … and
possibly the world.

Review: The Prophecy of Shadows (Elementals #1) by Michelle Madow
4
stars!
When
Nicole Cassidy’s family moves from Georgia to a biting cold Massachusetts town near
Salem, she is in for the surprise of her life.
A sophomore in high school, Nicole is placed in a special homeroom in
the back of the library, away from the humans that dominate the school’s
population. The members of her homeroom
are ‘witches,’ descendants of Olympian gods who wield control over the energy
that the universe puts forth.
‘Prophecy
of Shadows’ is reminiscent of ‘The Secret Circle’ when an Olympian Comet grants
special abilities to only five of these ‘witches.’ They have come together for a purpose; to
control elements (not just energy) and to fulfill a prophecy.
This
is a Young Adult series, so naturally there is either a love triangle or an
unattainable love interest. Blake is the
resident bad-boy with a jealous girlfriend who takes special interest in Nicole
right from the start. Though he is
instrumental in her learning about her abilities, Nicole is smart for not
wanting to be involved with him until he breaks up with the girlfriend. That the couple is part of the Elementals
group makes things a bit awkward.
All
in all, a fun and easy read about 5 teenagers with special abilities and a
prophecy involving the gods from Greek mythology.
Thanks to Michelle Madow, Barclay Publicity, and NetGalley for providing a copy of
this book in exchange for an honest review.
