Book Description

November 6, 2012 Covenant (Book 3)
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...

5.0 out of 5 stars Love. This. Book. November 1, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
Ok. I have to admit something right here, right now. Half-Blood did not blow me away. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed it and it was an well done read with an interesting twist, but there was just something about it that kept me from loving it. When I read Pure, the things Jennifer did with the characters, the complicated political/social climate compounded by the action-packed plot... well, I was extremely impressed and excited by the direction in which Jennifer was taking her Covenant series - on the verge of toppling head-over-heels. And then, along came Deity...

Blown. Away.

Unreservedly, I can now say that I love this series.

Dare I venture to say that it might even be a favorite?

Why, yes. Yes, I do.

Perhaps one of my favorite things about this series so far (and in some ways this surprises me because I wasn't a huge fan of hers in the beginning) is Alex. Alex has come a long way from the selfish, impulsive girl we meet in Half-Blood. In some respects, she's still exactly the same, but yet she's matured from her experiences over the past year. Oh, she still blurts out what she thinks filter-free from time to time. She still gets those wild, reckless urges to take matters into her own hands, and yet Alex has begun to learn restraint. She's had to. She has seen the dangers her world poses for one such as her, seen the consequences enacted out before her if she crosses certain lines. She's seen her fears brought to life, and she's made enemies in some very high places who are devoted to destroying her. And above all Alex understands that her actions have consequences not only for her, but that other peoples' lives and well-being are also connected to hers. I absolutely love the evolution and development Alex's character has undergone throughout this series and especially where Jennifer has taken her in this book. Alex is a bit more serious, and perhaps a bit more subdued, in Deity than we've seen her before; however, even in the midst of so many circumstances she can't control, she's still the same fiery, fierce Alex - a girl who's developing a very strong sense of conviction and who's becoming someone who has a purpose beyond herself.

Alex aside, one of the biggest questions you might have about Deity, because I had the same, is what happens with Aiden & Seth?

<jumps up and down while flailing wildly>

While I obviously can't tell you a single thin- Well... ok. I'll tell you one thing about each of them in no particular order. One guy made me fall absolutely head over heels for him, while shocking revelations about the other one still have me reeling... and ready to throw something breakable.

Which is another reason I love Deity so much: it made me angry, it made me despair, it made me euphoric and it made me hope. I ran the entire gamut of emotional responses while reading this book. Jennifer is extremely good at backing her characters into seemingly inescapable corners and excellent at putting her readers right there in the moment alongside them, sharing the anguish, heartbreak and panic. Alternately, the happy/joyful/victorious scenes are equally as evocative, and I'm pretty sure that during those moments, I sat there grinning like an idiot from ear to ear. There are very few authors who capture my emotions so completely, and Jennifer L. Armentrout is one of them.

So what got me all riled up? Well, there have been several arcs building throughout the series, and in Deity several of them come to a head. The cards are on the table, come what may. The stakes are higher, the dangers greater, the potential consequences more grave. Secrets are revealed, rifts deepen, lines are crossed, new allies are gained, new enemies made, and only one thing is certain: things will never be the same. <cue dramatic movie trailer music> In all seriousness though, in my opinion, it's the best book in the Covenant series thus far.

Overall, Deity is truly divine.

5.0 out of 5 stars OMG! You need to read this book! November 25, 2012
Format:Paperback
Note: Younger Readers strongly cautioned.

I apologize in advance for the fact that this review may make no sense and might be lengthier than my usual reviews.

GREAT PAINS HAVE BEEN TAKEN TO KEEP THIS REVIEW SPOILER FREE .

My Thoughts:
I finished reading this book AGES AGO and I've been meaning to write a review for a long time but I just couldn't get in the zone and write an amazing review for this one because I HAVE NO WORDS to describe the AWESOMENESS that is this book!

I've been a little (ok maybe very) disappointed with quite a few Jennifer Armentrout novels like Pure and Cursed but this book reminded me why I'm in love with this author.Jennifer does not hesitate to shock and surprise you with surprising new developments and new characters.The game has changed people!

The stakes are higher,emotions run wild (*cough* Aiden *cough*) and people die.

I was losing interest in this series after Pure (book #2 ) and was seriously reconsidering buying this book when I got it for review.All I can say is thank you dear publishers! I might have missed out on this awesome book if not for you.

This book was as good if not BETTER than Half Blood (Book #1). On second thoughts it was MUCH MUCH better because I couldn't predict anything! I don't want to spoil it for you guys and I won't even though I want to gush about EVERYTHING!

Aiden was amazing in this novel.His character changes a little and I'm loving the change.

Alex is her usual awesome self.I have no complaints except that she needs to *SEE* some things clearly.[My Lips are now sealed]

Seth ,Oh Seth! I have no words.

I also loved the secondary characters in this novel.Special shout out to Marcus,Deacon,Lea and Leon.There are some others but I promised NO SPOILERS.

The story flows so well and Jen delivers sucker punch after sucker punch until you're numb with shock or excitement but still feel shivers when you get a new hit.

This book is a gamechanger. A lot of things like enemies,acquaintances,relationships,scenarios change,

It's been a long time since I've rated a book 5 stars.This book deserves a 5 and much more.
DEFINITELY WORTH A READ!

Is it too soon to start demanding a sequel?

My Rating:
5/5

NEED TO READ!

FYI: (For your information)

1.The book ends with a cliffhanger
2.I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AND WILL ALWAYS REMAIN TEAM AIDEN!
3.A novella called Elixir continues the story and should be read ONLY AFTER THIS BOOK! It has already been released and is available for free download on the spencer hill website

5.0 out of 5 stars LOVED IT! A Must Read... This series is the BEST!! April 17, 2013
Format:Kindle Edition
Holy Daimon Babies!! That was awesome, and such a huge cliffhanger to where I am sooooooo glad I did not read Deity until I had Apollyon in my hands, so I could read back to back. (Of course you need to read Elixir after Deity, goes to Aiden's point of view, and tells all that is going on, and you will see why after you read Deity, Do Not read Elixir first, it will spoil a lot, and also get you confused)

I am not going to go into any detail in this review, just to say how much I love this series, and to say it just gets better. I suggest you read Daimon Prequel first, that's what I did, then Half-Blood, then Pure, then Deity, Elixir then Apollyon.

Man, can Aiden get any hotter??? Oh, and I just hate Seth even more. He is pure evil. In my opinion. That's all I will say. I don't want to do any spoilers. I will however leave you with a few favorite parts, some teasers for you. Not really spoilers. (could be if you had not read the previous books)

Oh, and that big surprise on a certain person's identity, how awesome, loved it, and did not see it coming at all.

I give this 5 out of 5 really huge stars, and highly recommend this series.

Below is the teasers, like I said, not really spoilers, but if you rather not read any, just stop here.

Here is a scene with Aiden:

"What are you afraid of?" I asked again."I thought you said I was afraid of nothing once," he threw back."I did."Aiden shifted slightly and his thumb caressed the curve of my cheek. "I'm afraid of something.""What?" I whispered.He drew in a deep, shuddering breath. "I'm afraid of never being allowed to feel what I do."

Here is one that is a bit funny:

"You think I'm scared that you'll turn me in for fighting? Any of you? They can't touch me! I'm the fu--""Stop it!" I screamed. "Just stop!" Seth froze, and several sets of eyes centered on me. "Gods! We were training. There's no reason to kill each other over this." I glanced at Aiden. "No reason to do any of this. Just freaking stop."Tension still ripened the air, but Seth pulled back and spat out a mouthful of blood. As he straightened his shirt, the marks started to fade. "Like I'd been saying, but apparently all of you are too stupid to understand, we were--""Shut up, Seth." I clenched my hands.His brows rose. Aiden still looked furious. His eyes were like pools of silver, consuming his entire face."It's done and over, okay?" I said, mostly to him. "I'm fine. No one is dead. And if you three can manage not to try to kill each other, I'm going to go and take a shower, because now I smell like ten-day-old butt."

Here is one to get your heart pumping, a great tease to keep you guessing:

Aiden's stricken face loomed over mine, his eyes wide with horror. "Alex! Alex, talk to me. Talk to me, dammit!"I blinked and his face formed again, but it was fuzzy. I tried to say his name, but a hoarse, wet cough racked my body."No! No. No." He looked over his shoulder at the door. Guards had gathered, drawn by the commotion. "Get help! Now! Go!"

Here is a swoon worthy scene with Aiden (fanning myself...)

Aiden's hand found the nape of my neck and pulled me down. His lips met mine, and like every time before, there was this indefinable spark that coursed through us. He made a sound against my lips, kissing me harder and harder.He pulled back just enough so that his lips brushed mine when he spoke. "I can't keep pretending that I don't want this--that I don't want you. I can't. Not after what happened to you. I thought... I thought I'd lost you, Alex, forever. And I would've lost everything. You are my everything."

This one is really steamy:

Our kisses deepened, his tongue swept over mine, and I rocked against him. All of this was wonderful, exquisitely pleasing. Aiden dropped kisses all over my flushed skin. I was lost in the heady sensations, completely unprepared for it. This may not have been what we intended, but this... this was happening. Aiden lifted his head. "Are you sure?""Yes," I breathed. "I've never been more sure."

I guess I should stop there, anything after this really gets to much of a spoiler. I hope you enjoyed the teasers.

(I was gifted a copy of this ebook through Amazon, so it should show as a purchase, but not sure why it isn't showing that)
