" 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…
Review:
Goodness! Just when you think that a series couldn't POSSIBLY get better, it does! Janenifer L. Armentrout has managed to create, not just a book, but an entire world that surrounds these characters where they grow, change, and deal with complex issues they must overcome in order to survive. The Covenant series draws in the reader immediately and I swear there could be a bright pink elephant danging in my house and I wouldn't have noticed.
Poor Alex. Yes, she has a lot to deal with but what better way than to have 2 hot guys to help you along the journey? Seth is infuriating but I love him. I can't help but swoon at his antics and enjoy the intense connection he shares with Alex. On the other hand, Aiden is super strong and devoted. He remains the"strong and silent" one but when Alex needs him there is nothing that can get in his way. It's seriously like having the best of both worlds!
I won't give too much away with the plot but I will say that I never know where one of Janenifer's books will lead me. This one seriously had me gasping by the end. I couldn't believe the turn of events (AT ALL!) and was screaming at the book. Yes, this may mean I'm nuts, but that's just what these books do to me! I actually have to make myself slow down and read them so I won't miss any small details.
Alex has grown leaps and bounds since the first book in this series and it was incredible to see her change as her powers and fate come into focus. Everything with the Council comes to a head and she is forced to deal with even more issues. This book had one of the most outstanding climaxes ever! But now I have to deal with the withdrawals till I can get my hands on Apollyon.
If you haven't started this series, ARE YOU LIVING UNDER A ROCK? DO IT! I promise you will love it and, lucky for you, you have 3 fabulous books in the series already available to read.
