"History is on repeat, and things didn't go so well the last time. "
Alexandria isn't sure she's going to make it to her eighteenth birthday--to her Awakening. A long-forgotten, fanatical order is out to kill her, and if the Council ever discovers what she did in the Catskills, she's a goner... and so is Aiden.
If that's not freaky enough, whenever Alex and Seth spend time "training"--which really is just Seth's code word for some up-close and personal one-on-one time--she ends up with another mark of the Apollyon, which brings her one step closer to Awakening ahead of schedule. Awesome.
But as her birthday draws near, her entire world shatters with a startling revelation and she's caught between love and Fate. One will do anything to protect her. One has been lying to her since the beginning. Once the gods have revealed themselves, unleashing their wrath, lives will be irrevocably changed... and destroyed.
Those left standing will discover if love is truly greater than Fate...
Talk about another blockbuster from the one
and only Jennifer L Armentrout! Ms Armentrout has written yet another addictuve
addition to the wonderfully entertaining Convenant series - a series that has
quickly become one of my all time favourites :D In this installment, there's
lots more action, steamy and romantic scenes (HELL YEAH!), some mind-blowing
revelations and even the gods make appearances. This is a book you simply
cannot not love!
Our main character Alex is easily one of my
favourite heroines of all time...but she is also the most frustrating character
I've ever come across. There's so much about her that I admire - her courage,
loyalty, snarkiness are some of the things I love. However, she's also stubborn
and reckless; I was able to tolerate her in the first two books
because...well...I guess everything worked out well, but after reading Deity? I
seriously want to punch her. I was at the point where I wanted to throw the
book against the wall in frustration...because if ONLY Alex had listened to the
others, some of the horrible things might've been prevented. (Deity lost half a star
because of Alex)
I keep saying this over and over again to myself but . . . I seriously NEED to read these books! Man I'm totally missing out! Great review!
ReplyDeleteYEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH SHIRLEY!!!! I so loved this book too, but I agree Alex can be frustrating at times. She didn't bother me in this one so much as she has in books prior, mostly because I admire the way she owns up to her mistakes and doesn't pretend like she didn't make them. She knows she was wrong and she admits it and tries to fix it. And don't even get me started on Aiden. LOVE! The ending of this book though? I nearly died. I need Apollyon immediately!
ReplyDeleteI need to read a JLA book soon, don't I? Her books seem to be ruling to book blogosphere! I love the covers of this series, they are so pretty. :) Thanks for the great review, I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
ReplyDeleteAIDENNN! *high-five!* This was the best Aiden book, no? ;) I am thrilled with the turn of events in this one and cannot wait to see what happens in Apollyon (especially after Elixir - read that straight away!). I agree tha it was nice to see a bigger emphasis on the mythology in this book. :)
ReplyDeleteBrilliant review, Shirley!
Oh my heart, AIDEN!! I totally agree, there needs to be a real-life version of him. Of course, we'd have to set up shared custodial visitation, lol! Alex did annoy me with her reckless actions, but mostly in Pure. I wanted to shake her in that, because her stupidity had fatal consequences for one of her friends! :( Excellent review Shirley. :)
