Sentinel - Jennifer L. Armentrout (Covenant #5)

Published Date: November 2, 2013

Genre: Young Adult

Synopsis: It's a beautiful day for a war.

As the mortal world slowly slips into chaos of the godly kind, Alexandria Andros must overcome a stunning defeat that has left her shaken and in doubt of their ability to end this war once and for all.

And with all the obstacles between Alex and her happily-ever-after with the swoonworthy Aiden St. Delphi, they must now trust a deadly foe as they travel deep into the Underworld to release one of the most dangerous gods of all time.

In the stunning, action-packed climax to the bestselling Covenant series, Alex must face a terrible choice: the destruction of everything and everyone she holds dear… or the end of herself.

Guys... What the actual loving Gods of Heaven and Hell. 

I'm staring at my tea mug because I have no idea how I feel about this whole situation. My main question is how can Jennifer L. Armentrout. Like how dare she. But all the more, I think I fell in love with her writing with these series. 

I just couldn't put it down.

Sentinel is a beautiful ending to a beautiful series. 

I just hoped that it wouldn't end and my wishes were granted because we get a better look into why Seth did what he did. What drove him. What broke him. 

I loved this so much 

A 5 out of 5 wonderful stars.

Apollyon - Jennifer L. Armentrout (Covenant #4)

Published Date: April 4, 2013

Genre: Young Adult

Synopsis: Fate isn’t something to mess with… and now, neither is Alex.

Alex has always feared two things: losing herself in the Awakening and being placed on the Elixir. But love has always been stronger than Fate, and Aiden St. Delphi is willing to make war on the gods—and Alex herself—to bring her back.

The gods have killed thousands and could destroy entire cities in their quest to stop Seth from taking Alex’s power and becoming the all-powerful God Killer. But breaking Alex’s connection to Seth isn’t the only problem. There are a few pesky little loopholes in the whole “an Apollyon can’t be killed” theory, and the only person who might know how to stop the destruction has been dead for centuries.

Finding their way past the barriers that guard the Underworld, searching for one soul among countless millions, and then somehow returning will be hard enough. Alex might be able to keep Seth from becoming the God Killer… or she might become the God Killer herself.

Because of Seth, we have encountered the part of Alex that we have always feared. Something that we didn't want to see at all. 

As we saw in Elixir, Alex has become and did the two things that she has always feared. How she didn't want this to happen. Yet it did. Could things have been done to avoid it? Hell yes. But I'm kind of glad it didn't. 

This made this book, all the better. 

Apollyon is a beautiful addition to the Covenant series because we get to see Alex fight for love and for want. To stop this internal battle, she will need to get past the God Killer status and fight for her life and ones that she truly loves. 

5 out of 5 stars.

Elixir - Jennifer L. Armentrout (Covenant #3.5)

Published Date: November 27, 2012

Genre: Young Adult

Synopsis: Aiden St. Delphi will do anything to save Alex. Even if it means doing the one thing he will never forgive himself for. Even if it means making war against the gods.

That synopsis tells us all. 

I cannot get over Aiden St. Delphi and no matter who I encounter in other books and what I say, nobody can tell me different. 

I am in love with St. Delphi and his forbidden pure-blood ness. I need him in my life even if that means re-reading the series over and over again. Elixir will make you think long and hard about what you would do for the one person that you love.

Even if that means going against your values. Going back against your words and promises. 

A fantastic 4.7 out of 5 stars for this novella.

Deity - Jennifer L. Armentrout (Covenant #3)

Published Date: November 6, 2012

Genre: Young Adult

Synopsis: 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...

Guys, guys. 

You have to read this book. Not just because of Aiden St Delphi. But because of Seth. *cue fanning self*. His amber eyes. His taut body. His beautiful and sarcastic and melodic voice. How can we resist such a man? 

You know how I said that I have such a girl crush on Alexandria? That still stands. This book makes me want to move her even more than is possible because she is learning through mistakes. Like a real person. 

Not some fictional character that some author made up. 

I loved this. Hard. 

With revelations revealed in this book, you won't want to put it down. Obviously this is a 5 out of 5 stars.

Pure - Jennifer L. Armentrout (Covenant #2)

Published Date: April 3, 2012

Genre: Young Adult

Synopsis: There is need. And then there is Fate. Being destined to become some kind of supernatural electrical outlet isn't exactly awesome--especially when Alexandria's other half is everywhere she goes. Seth's in her training room, outside her classes, and keeps showing up in her bedroom--so not cool. Their connection does have some benefits, like staving off her nightmares of the tragic showdown with her mother, but it has no effect on what Alex feels for the forbidden, pure-blooded Aiden. Or what he will do--and sacrifice--for her. When daimons infiltrate the Covenants and attack students, the gods send furies--lesser gods determined to eradicate any threat to the Covenants and to the gods, and that includes the Apollyon--and Alex. And if that and hordes of aether-sucking monsters didn't blow bad enough, a mysterious threat seems willing to do anything to neutralize Seth, even if that means forcing Alex into servitude--or killing her. When the gods are involved, some decisions can never, ever be undone.

Okay, this sequel is wonderful. Alex just can't stop being wonderfully heroic and beautiful. 

Fate is evil and yet, it is so truthful. There is a need for it. There is a want for it. 

After the showdown with her mom, traumatic and awful on both her and her best friend, she doesn't know what to do... Her mom was really her beat friend when those three years passed. But only Aiden can get her through the whole thing.

He must.

She will lose herself. 

Now fate was pulled the cruelest of them all. An awful thing that has never happened before has come to be. Furies attacking. Gods involved. Daimons infiltrate. You will just need to read this book to find out what this whole deal is on the Covenant series.

With a 5 out of 5 stars, I will blog you later, awesome book nerds. 

Half-Blood - Jennifer L. Armentrout (Covenant #1)

Published Date: October 18, 2011

Genre: Young Adult

Synopsis: The Hematoi descend from the unions of gods and mortals, and the children of two Hematoi pure bloods have godlike powers. Children of Hematoi and mortals--well, not so much. Half-bloods only have two options: become trained Sentinels who hunt and kill daimons or become servants in the homes of the pures.

Seventeen-year-old Alexandria would rather risk her life fighting than waste it scrubbing toilets, but she may end up slumming it anyway. There are several rules that students at the Covenant must follow. Alex has problems with them all, but especially rule #1:Relationships between pures and halfs are forbidden. Unfortunately, she's crushing hard on the totally hot pure-blood Aiden. But falling for Aiden isn't her biggest problem--staying alive long enough to graduate the Covenant and become a Sentinel is.

If she fails in her duty, she faces a future worse than death or slavery: being turned into a daimon, and being hunted by Aiden. And that would kind of suck.

Descending even further into Alexandria's adventures, I have officially gotten a girl crush on her. She is amazing. She has the experience of being there and back. Of course, when we get a glimpse into her past, you just have to love her. 

She has this spunk in her that even the council cannot deny. 

Rules of the Covenant: 

#1: Halfs and Pures together in a relationship are forbidden. 

After that, everything pretty much goes. 

But the problem with this is that Alex, she might be crushing on Aiden. The hot and out of reach. But she does not fear being caught about that. What she fears the most is being sucked dry and being turned into those aether craving evil freaks... Then she will fear being caught. Especially by the one she likes. 

A solid 5 out of 5 stars.

Daimon - Jennifer L. Armentrout (Covenant #0.5)

Published Date: May 10, 2011

Genre: Young Adult

Synopsis: "Love in my world usually ended up with someone hearing 'I smite thee!' as she was cursed to be some lame flower for the rest of her life." 

For three years, Alexandria has lived among mortals—pretending to be like them and trying to forget the duty she'd been trained to fulfill as a child of a mortal and a demigod. At seventeen, she's pretty much accepted that she's a freak by mortal standards… and that she'll never be prepared for that duty. 

According to her mother, that’s a good thing. 

But as every descendant of the gods knows, Fate has a way of rearing her ugly head. A horrifying attack forces Alex to flee Miami and try to find her way back to the very place her mother had warned her she should never return—the Covenant. Every step that brings her closer to safety is one more step toward death… because she's being hunted by the very creatures she'd once trained to kill. 

The daimons have found her.

A perfect start to the perfect series. 

I loved this book without any hesitation because of Alex.

Her adventures in this book and how she is so brave and beautiful and brilliant. 

I loved this about her. 

Nobody seems to understand her but the only person that does is her mother. But there is evil looking around the corner and poor Alex does not know it yet. That is, until they have found her safe haven. Her home. 

This book is an amazing 4 out of 5 stars.
