Elemental Dragons #2
Venom and Earth
Life just keeps getting harder.
Hazel and the gang are back, but after the near cataclysmic events of the last year they might not be together for long. The Wyrms are on the move and so are those that serve them, including the Cindaraans who will let no-one get in their way.
As long as they are on the hunt no dragon is safe, and if the group can’t learn to control their elements in time then they never will be again.
Just as they are starting to settle into a routine back at the camp, the group falls under the public eye mostly because of newcomer Violet who harbours a secret that quickly thrusts them all straight into the limelight.
Can they duck the paparazzi and stop the villains at the same time? Or will some of the very people they’re trying to save be the group’s undoing?
Find out in Venom and Earth, the exciting sequel to Blood and Water. An action and adventure fantasy series that will keep you glued to every page.

The book starts where the other one left off, the big primordial dragon has escaped from prison and so far the characters think that they are about to face him, but he only kidnaps Braith and Hazel is sad about her kidnapping, the sudden laws that dont permit her to communicate, touch or even see the premiums (richest guys in school) or she´ll get fined and the pressure of the news and professors because she has to train Violet, the girl that has all the elements and doesnt controls them. Also Wes is becoming more of a douche and eventually everything is against her and people are threatening to kill her just because she is a commoner and she passed a test, and she doesnt deserve to be there. I liked the discrimination plot, and while the kidnapping plot wasnt as drawn out, it did have some discoveries (like the primordial dragon isnt bad) that i found to be interesting. The training with Violet wasnt as shown and i actually didnt care for it. Just because the story says Violet is a sweet girl that is being bullied by reporters for her powers, it doesnt mean I care for her to training.
Marco and her get together, which is quite sweet, and they find out Marco was raped, that is sad and I found it to be quite original since in the first book, people were painting him to be a playboy and it seemed like it was the other way around. While i did like explanation, and that he was actually with some trauma and not just saying "oh yes, i got over it", i got a little bit annoyed because the author never did said the word *rape* and just said non consensual; which sounds lighter and a little bit nicer than what it actually is. SAY THE WORD, dont sweeten it
The second half of the book is more interesting, since Hazel has to escape since she killed a student in self defense, and Marco and Braith follow her. They are very loyal and as secondary characters they are very nice, and sometime i though Hazel was being quite ungrateful for them, but it was only at times and i do get "the heat of the situation" can get someone to act rude, so i did not dislike Hazel, but i doesnt mean i love her.
In this half of the book they find their enemies the wyrms (or something like that), a group of escapees, and the most important discovery: a lab where they discover that they arent as magical as they think, all of the people with markings are created to be fed to the wyrms so they can develop more powers. This discovery is interesting AF and I think that made the book SUPER original. 10/10 For that plot twist, i wasnt expecting it, and contrary to what i thought in the review of the 1st book, it wasnt predictable at all, but it doesnt seem like something that appeared out of nowhere.
In general, the action scenes are very regular, the romance is nice, the good secondary characters are lovable and i can differentiate them easily (which is important in a book that has so many of them) without them being cliché, the villains, do seem to be a little bit cartoony but overall the plot is interesting.
