Super Sunday Book Reviews: "Deity" and "Elixir" by Jennifer L. Armentrout

My Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥





Summary: ~from goodreads~

"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...

My Review:

WOW!! OMG!!  This series never slows down! Love the characters that Jennifer L. Armentrout has created. Her characters in the covenant series are relate able. Yes, some of them are gods, pures, half bloods, etc., but as Alex travels through many difficult times, her journey feels like you are right there with her. 

I am having a little difficult time deciding what to write. I do not want to give anything away. Throughout the book I became so frustrated with Seth, as Alex was too,  and for Aiden, I am in love with him! Aiden has really shown who he truly is. He is strong, faithful and you can trust him through and through. The gods start to make their presence in the story. This is good and bad. I am very happy with the direction the story is going. I am also, very nervous and excited to read the next book.

My Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥




Summary ~from goodreads~

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.

My Review:

This is my favorite novella! A great segue to the next book, and what an ending!!  It was short, but it did not feel that way at all. A wonderful, suspenseful story which is written in a small package.  

Next book Apollyon coming in April!!!
