Review: Deity [Covenant 03] by Jennifer L. Armentrout!
Publication date: 6th November
Paperback edition: 360 pages
Source: Kindle
Rating: 5 stars
Synopsis: "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...
Favourite quote: "You'll have a piece of my heart-all of it, really. Forever. Even if your heart belongs to someone else."
Jennifer L. Armentrout has done it again! Every book in her series' just seem to get better and better and Deity was no exception! It was off the scale! The plot continued on from the last book which I loved! It was just full of action and my heart was in my mouth throughout the entire book! I also loved how the plot was again full of Mythology! It was amazing to see Alex continue to grow so much and to see her face her problems head on! Aiden was SO swoon worthy in this book! He was perfect! Seth was a pratt in this book! I have a strong dislike to him right now but who knows what will happen in Apollyn! The love triangle between Alex, Aiden and Seth was sort of resolved in this book and I am so happy with who Alex ended up with! Jennifer is the queen of cliffhangers and Deity is no exception! There is such an amazing cliffhanger at the end of this book and although I have to wait until next year for the next book I think that it is definetly going to be worth it! I am SO excited for the next book in this series! The cover is stunning and it suits the other covers in this series so well!

Review: Wander Dust [The Seraphina Parrish Trilogy 01] by Michelle Warren!
Publication date: 30th November 2011
Paperback edition: 374 pages
Source: Kindle
Rating: 4 stars
Synopsis: Ever since her sixteenth birthday, strange things keep happening to Seraphina Parrish.
The Lady in Black… burns Sera’s memories.
Unexplainable Premonitions… catapult her to other cities.
The Grungy Gang… wants to kill her.
And a beautiful, mysterious boy… stalks her.
But when Sera moves to Chicago, and her aunt reveals their family connection to a centuries old, secret society, she is immediately thrust into an unbelievable fantasy world, leading her on a quest to unravel the mysteries that plague her. In the end, their meanings crash into an epic struggle of loyalty and betrayal, and she’ll be forced to choose between the boy who has stolen her heart and the thing she desires most.
I read this book for the book club that I am in and I have to say that I was a little bit let down with it! I was expecting it to be a little bit more fased paced and I was also expecting it to have a lot more romance in it! The plot was very original though and I felt that it did start to pick up! Seraphina "Sera" Parrish was a good main character but I found that she did annoy me a little bit to start with but then she grew on me pretty quickly! Max Bishop was the love interest of Sera and I really liked him! He tried to stay away from Sera but he couldn't which was sweet! I did enjoy the secondary characters as well! The lack of romance between Sera and Max kind of put me off this book because I was rooting for them to be together as soon as Max saved Sera from the gang that were trying to attack her! There was finally some romance but it wasn't the main focus of the book! The ending was full of action which I loved! I am not sure if I will read the next book in this series but I might give it a try! I love the cover though!

Synopsis: No one is like Daemon Black.
When he set out to prove his feelings for me, he wasn’t fooling around. Doubting him isn’t something I’ll do again, and now that we’ve made it through the rough patches, well... There’s a lot of spontaneous combustion going on.
But even he can’t protect his family from the danger of trying to free those they love.
After everything, I’m no longer the same Katy. I’m different... And I’m not sure what that will mean in the end. When each step we take in discovering the truth puts us in the path of the secret organization responsible for torturing and testing hybrids, the more I realize there is no end to what I’m capable of. The death of someone close still lingers, help comes from the most unlikely source, and friends will become the deadliest of enemies, but we won’t turn back. Even if the outcome will shatter our worlds forever.
Together we’re stronger... and they know it. - goodreads.com

Review: Collide [Collide 01] by Shelly Crane!
Publication date: 12th June 2011
Paperback edition: 360 pages
Source: Kindle
Rating: 5 stars
Synopsis: Sherry has always known there was something out there. She's eighteen, works for a tabloid newspaper in Chicago and has a brother, Danny who is a lazy mooch. They live a pretty normal dull life with hippie parents and a normal existence Then the moon disappears and people start to go missing only to reappear later, but different. Sherry has an abusive ex-boyfriend who shows up and claims to be one of these beings that have been showing up around the world. He's no longer the same person in that body. He tells her he has come to protect her and her brother and takes her underground, against her will to save her, where they meet others like them. She begins to unravel the truth about Merrick, about what he's really doing here, about the way he looks at her, about the crazy dangerous world they live in. Can he convince her that he's here to help? Will she like what she finds when she opens up to the truth? Will he be the one to love her when everyone else has failed her? Will he be able to protect her?
I have no idea why I hadn't read this book before now! I loved absolutely everything about it! I loved the writing, the characters and the plot! First lets talk about the plot! WOW! It was so original and I just couldn't stop reading it! It had everything in it that I love and it was quite unexpected as I was expecting something completely different! It was also very interesting and paced perfectly! Next were the characters! I loved all of them! Sherry was the main character of Collide and I adored her! She was sweet and amazing! Merrick was the love interest of Sherry and he was protective and so hot! I loved Merrick and Sherry's relationship! It was written beautifully and I don't think that it was rushed because the story took place over quite a long period of time! There were also so many secondary characters and they brought so much to the story! I also really liked that Collide was told from both Sherry and Merrick's point of views! I am definitely going to read the rest of this series and I am really looking forward to doing so! The cover is also stunning! I didn't really see the significance of it at first until I had read Collide!
