The epic story of witches, gods, and monsters that USA Today called a "must read" continues in the third book of the Elementals series!

When Nicole Cassidy moved to a new town, she discovered that she was a witch descended from gods. But that was nothing compared to learning that it was up to her and four others with mysterious elemental powers to help save the world from the Titans, who would soon return to Earth.

Now her relationship with Blake -- the fire elemental -- is finally heating up. But she must remain focused, because Typhon, one of the deadliest creatures in history, has escaped from the weakening prison world.

Only one object can destroy him -- the head of Medusa herself.

Follow the Elementals as they journey to the end of the Earth, facing choices that will put their lives and the entire world at risk.

Escape into an addicting young adult urban fantasy adventure full of magic, paranormal romance, Greek mythology, and twists you'll never see coming.

***** AN eARC HAS BEEN PROVIDED FOR THIS REVIEW *****Just when I thought it couldn't get any better, well, I'm wrong. The action and drama just got a little heavier to the point of no return. But seriously, if you're three books deep in a series, you know there's no way out.Okay, I don't want to be a creepy fangirl but there's just FEELS etched everywhere necessary. Eek!Author Michelle set her limit and pushed beyond it.

Another great read in the Elementals series from Michelle Madow, this book packs some shocking punches. A perfect mix of magic and Greek mythology.

The five are required to capture Medusa's head to have a chance to defeat the Titans and stop all of those held in Kerberos from escaping to Earth and starting a war. Nicole and the other Elementals devise a plan to find Medusa & take her head. While they are successful in getting the head, they lose one of their own while getting it, will they be able to bring her back?

If its not one thing its another. The elementals cant catch a break. Nyx appears to them to warn them about Typhon returning and after the book of shadows tells them about Medusa they go on a mission to get the sword of Athena from Chione. Then theres a gallery exhibit and Ethan returns, offering to help. Can they get Medusa's head and stop Typhon?

So much action. I love the relationships developing and the bonds forming.

Head of Medusa by Michelle Madow
Book #3: Elementals Series

My Rating: 5/5 stars
My Review:

I’ve been a fan of this series from the very beginning and I’ve been waiting for that one book that just fired me up and allowed me reach the coveted 5-star review. Head of Medusa did just that!!!

The book opens with a confident group of kids fresh off their last ultimately successful fight. Their powers are evolving, their control is getting better every day, and their confidence is at an all-time high. Unfortunately, they have yet to close the portal to hell and know their next mission is likely right around the corner. Indeed, it is and the next mission isn’t going to be easy. In fact, this new mission is arguably even more dangerous than their last and they lost a team member during that battle.

Their current challenge has the team travelling to Antarctica where they must retrieve a mythical sword with the ability to kill even the un-killable. As if the challenge of Antarctica weren’t enough, the sword is encased in ice and guarded by a minor goddess who takes her job quite seriously. In fact, if the team fails to take the sword after three attempts, they ate bound to the site for seven years of labor. Once the team retrieves the sword, the fun really begins as they travel to California to either enlist Medusa’s help or take her head by force. With that being accomplished, the team must then stop Typhon, one of the scariest and deadliest of the big bads to have ever roamed the Earth. If Typhon is allowed to regain his full strength and power, the world’s population is in danger. So, no pressure 

From the moment they portal into Antarctica to the very last page, the team is set upon from every side. Nothing goes according to plan, they piss off nearly everyone they encounter, and to add insult to injury someone from within is working against them. Loyalties are tested just as aggressively as their skills and when all is said and done nothing is going to be as the team thought it would be. In fact, by the bitter end, the team is going to but a shadow of what they once were.

The Bottom Line: From start to finish this book pushed the pace and really upped the level of the overall series. Though I would like to see a bit more evolution in the characters on a personal level, the group has shown significant evolution, as has the overall plot. As the team gets stronger, their tasks and challenges are also getting significantly more difficult. There is very little down time in this read which makes it a very quick and entertaining read. If you were at all questioning the overall awesomeness of this series, The Head of Medusa will lay all those questions to rest and renew your interest in the Elementals.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not as good as the story so far...
Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2018

This was a decent-but-below-expectations book in the series. I won’t pause from continuing on my journey with the Elementals, however the story felt rushed and implausible. The coming betrayal and betrayer was obvious and felt forced. It would be implausible for the most psychologically-mature people in the world to forgive and forget so easily, but the author would ask us to believe these high school teens to be so easily gullible, forgetful, and unsuspecting, that it made me angry when I first read how the story was playing out. The gods and monsters aspects of the book were more believable than this glaring flaw of suddenly-oblivious protagonists.
At only 260 pages on Kindle, it seemed (felt) to be the shortest book so far in the series - as though it was rushed to be written and published throughout the short story. Maybe there was just more going on and more to cover, but it FELT rushed compared to precious books. Where before there were details and expansion on new information, locations, characters and ideas/notions (such as the surge of new demigods), this book skimmed over them to churn through the salient points and only those points. It’s still a decent story... I was disappointed it didn’t maintain the quality of the first two novels in the series. Even without the added detail, it could have been much better with some adjustments to the main storyline to achieve the same outcomes and premise for the next book. It’s the first book in this series where I’ve felt disappointed in how we reached the destination.
This is still a great series, and I’m excited to start the next book. I hope the rest of the series returns to the quality and effort seen in the first two books.
Again, this was a decent story and quick read - it just wasn’t the great five-star experience the author delivered in the preceding two books in the series.

This is the third book in Michelle Madow's Elementals series and wow does this book pack some shocking punches.
We jump straight into the story, just a few weeks after the end of The Blood of Hydra and the book starts off with the first date between Nicole & Blake. However that doesn't last long as another monster has come through the portal and the group band together to fight them. The story then grows from there with the five required to capture Medusa's head to have a chance to defeat the Titans and stop all of those held in Kerberos from escaping to Earth and starting a war.

Like all her other books, don't expect a long drawn out story from Michelle as she does write at a fast pace and jumps straight into the action in all her books. I actually enjoy Michelle's style of writing, I like the way that she gets straight into the action of the story. I also love the use of the Greek myths in these books and The Head of Medusa doesn't disappoint with us learning more about these myths.

I really enjoyed this third instalment of the Elementals series and can't wait for the fourth one to be released. I'm not kidding, I really cant wait seeing as Michelle ended this book on one hell of a cliffhanger that had me shouting "why?" at my kindle. This has been a difficult review to write without giving away any spoilers but I think I've managed it. If you were expecting to read some spoilers, well sorry you just need to read this book.......Now!

Wow, love this series..

Nicole and the other Elementals devise a plan to find Medusa & take her head. There is a problem though. They cannot look into her eyes as they fight her. And why has Ethan returned? What is he up to?

I can't help but like these characters, even Danielle.
Great read.

Surly it’s not right to end a book there and leave readers handing by a thread. Will Blake survive? Will they return Kate to her former self? Will Ethan be punished?
So many questions to answer and no idea what will happen next.
