Title: Apollyon (Covenant #4) Author: Jennifer L. Armentrout Pages: 360 Publisher: Spencer Hill Press Release Date: April 9, 2013 Genre: Young Adult Source: SHP for Review Buy: AmazonCA | Amazon | Book Depository | Kindle Summary ( Goodreads ) 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 th...

Title:  Deity (Covenant #3) Author:  Jennifer L. Armentrout Publisher: Spencer Hill Press Pages:  360 Release Date: November 6,  2012 Buy: AmazonCA | Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Book Depository  Summary: ( 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 ...

That is until they seem to know things about Ryland and about Becca and Ryland's family, that forces Becca to concede that there may be more to these people than meets the eye.

Title: Pandemonium (Delirium #2) Author: Lauren Oliver Pages: 375 Publisher: HarperTeen Release Date: February 28, 2012 Buy: Amazon | Chapters Indigo | Barns & Noble | Book Depository Source: Gifted/E-book Summary:  After falling in love, Lena and Alex flee their oppressive society where love is outlawed and everyone must receive "the cure"--an operation that makes them immune to the delirium of love--but Lena alone manages to find her way to a community of resistance fighters, and although she is bereft without the boy she loves, her struggles seem to be leading her toward a new love. Review:  In Lauren Oliver's sequel to Delirium, Pandemonium was full of surprises and the anticipation that it will want you to read the next one! I loved how the story went from Now and Then because we got to see Lena start to be stronger and why she went to New York. Alex is not in this book unfortunately. I am a huge team Alex! Through staying with the Wilds she dev...

Title: Delirium (Delirium #1) Author: Lauren Oliver Pages: 441 Publisher: HarperTeen Release Date: February 1, 2011 Source: e-book Buy: Amazon | Barns & Noble | Chapters Indigo | Book Depository Summary: ( Goodreads ) Before scientists found the cure, people thought love was a good thing. They didn’t understand that once love -- the deliria -- blooms in your blood, there is no escaping its hold. Things are different now. Scientists are able to eradicate love, and the government demands that all citizens receive the cure upon turning eighteen. Lena Holoway has always looked forward to the day when she’ll be cured.

Review: Why didn't I read this book earlier!!! Delirium was AMAZING!!! It has to be one of my favorite books. I loved everything about this no...

As you may know, I LOVE Half-Blood by Jennifer L. Armentrout. Alex has won her first round, and tomorrow she faces Rose from Vampire Academy. YOU can vote for Alex at YA Sisterhood  Why should YOU vote 4 Alex: She is an awesome heroine! Alex is a fighter from the day you meet her in Daimon. If you have read the prequel you have seen that she can fight, she did kill 2 of them. Alex is also smart, due to her knowledge of the outside world other than Deity Island in which she grew up. To those who have read Half-Blood, she is a strong opponent against Rose and since they are both half's of some supernatural to them. Jennifer is an awesome writer and made Alex a wonderful main character. Her writing is also addicting!! From the first novel in the series, Daimon, you get to know her better, who she is before she left. She is always the troublemaker when she was training. She can kill many things with her fighting skills. Her forbidden romance with Aiden! I like love triangles for so...

  Today's Teaser is from Half-Blood by Jennifer L. Armentrout. This scene is from the First Chapter, introduction to Aiden! "In front of me, he walked right through the flames, looking every bit like a daimon hunter should. The fire did not singe his pants nor dirty his shirt. Not a single dark hair was touched by the blaze. Those cool storm-cloud-colored eyes fixed on me. It was him--Aiden St. Delphi. I'd never forget his name or face. The first time I'd caught a glimpse of him standing in front of the training arena, a ridiculous crush had sprung alive. I'd been fourteen and he seventeen. The fact he was a pure-blood hadn't mattered whenever I'd spotted him around campus." You can also check out my Interview with the author, or my review of the book in Review Archives. This book was amazing! Summary of Half-Blood: The Hematoi descend from the unions of gods and mortals, and the children of two Hematoi pure-bloods have godlike powers. Chi...

Review:  I think I found my new favorite series, with this book, Half-Blood, as you may know, I have been promoting through the blog. The cover is beautiful, and with the flower it does represent an item in the book.  I recommend that readers read Daimon before reading Half-Blood, because it gives a great background in why she runs away from her life with her mother in the mortal world. When reading this on the Adobe Digital Reader/Iphone, which was a little annoying (wished for an ARC), but it was totally worth it because this book was AWESOME/Great. I could probably physically hug this book if I actually did that a copy in my hands. From beginning to end you fall in love with her characters, Alex and even hot delicious Aiden, who is her knight in shining armor. Following Alex's life through Half-Blood. It deals with Greek Gods and many creatures that it is way different than any other book I have read to far! Alex, the main character, is strong and not afra...
