COVENANT BY JENNIFER L. ARMENTROUT

"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...

Deity was hands-down the best book in the series thus far. It was utterly phenomenal. This book was a huge improvement compared to its first novel Half-Blood, which seemed to be a copy of Vampire Academy at the time. Now there is no way I can say that this series is a mere shadow of Richelle Mead’s work. Deity was a roller coaster of emotions that was fast-paced and filled with unexpected plot twists that will keep you gripping onto the edge of your chair waiting to see where the next page will lead you. So many things came alive in this book, which fitted together to create not only an engaging plot, but an intriguing story line as well.

I adored the character’s, especially Aiden and Deacon, but as for Seth… I was quite displeased with his character development even though I had never been a fan of him. Though what he did was not acceptable, you couldn’t help but mourn for the sad lonely boy he is, who seeks desperately for the love of a man who is a father figure in his eyes. I hope that in the future novels that his actions will change, and that he will be redeemable as I like to believe that there is still hope for him. I fell in love with Aiden and Alec’s love as the story progressed on and was blissful when Aiden finally admitted to his feelings, and action was put into the works. *wink wink* But seriously though, Deacon’s ‘secret’ lover? Adorable. I was extremely happy that there was finally the appearance of the gods, and about time too!

Deity left me breathless and begging for more. This novel will not disappoint you, I guarantee. I cannot wait to see how things work out in Apollyon, but before you head off into the fourth novel, I highly suggest you read Elixir, which takes place right between Deity and Apollyon.

I agree, Deity was definitely a HUGE improvement. When I first started reading the series I was neutral with my feelings for the series, but once I got to Deity, I knew I just loved the series!

Would you suggest this for guys? The novel seems interesting except I'm worried there's going to be quite a love of Romance

Hmmmm.... I dunno. It depends in what type of books you read. But overall, I personally wouldn;t suggest it to guys cause there is quite a bit of romance.

Would you say it had around the same amount of romance as Divergent or more?

You can purchase merchandise from www.hebeldesign.com where they make jewelry inspired from magical books. The owner of HebelDesign sells quite a few pieces from a range of Jennifer L. Armentrout's novels.
