Book Nerds Across America

Goodreads description:


"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...

MARY'S REVIEW:

I know that this book came out months ago but I couldn't bring myself to read it. Why, you ask?! Because I was so nervous about what was going to happen!!!!! At the end of Pure, I am not sure if Seth or Aiden would become my next fictional boyfriend.  It was all too much to handle!  Then there was Alex and all of her issues, I just wasn't sure what Deity held because Pure was SO GOOD!

Best Part of Book:  First, HOW COULD I HAVE DOUBTED JENNIFER L. ARMENTROUT!!!???  I mean seriously, what was I thinking?  Deity picks up where Pure left off and everything is a hot-mess in Alex's life.  Seth is hardly leaving her side and there is Aiden, who seems to be there when she needs someone the most!  That poor girl (yea, right!).  It wasn't until later in the book that I began to wonder what the heck was happening and then *BAM* Jennifer throw a twist into the book!  (and it is good!)  I was totally confused because I wasn't sure who was "good" and who was "bad"!?!?!?!  But, there was one part that made it all perfect!  I can honestly say that I am 100% TEAM AIDEN!  That Pure makes me *swoon*!

Not so great about book: If you have read the first two books, I think will understand when I say this: THIS IS THE BEST ONE YET!!!  There is not a single thing wrong with this book! NOTHING!!!!! It was a complete page turner and at the end I was yelling because I didn't want it to end!!!

GREAT JOB JENNIFER!!!!! =)

Goodreads description:



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.




Mary's Review:


How is this possible?!?!?! How is it that Book 2 is better than Book 1?!?!?! Well, I should have never doubted Jennifer L. Armentrout's awesome skills and talent!!!

Best part of the book: ALL OF IT!!! This whole book was a page turner and I could not put it down.  If I had to "narrow" it down it would be when everyone was at the Council.  It was a hard time for Alex but you can see her really coming into her own.  I love that she stands up for herself and the ones that she loves.

Worst part of the book:  I do not think there is a "worst" or "bad" part; however, the whole Alex-Aiden and Alex-Seth love/hate relationships has been hard to read.  On second I am rooting for Aiden because I know he really loves her.  Then Seth shows his kind/sweet side and then I think he could really care. OH IT IS SO HARD!!

Why should you read this book:  Jennifer has outdid herself in this book.  I really could not put it down.  It was so detailed that I really felt like cheering (out loud) for Alex, Aiden and Seth.

Book 3 Deity should be out in November 2012.  I will be waiting for it!
