~Tina~'s Reviews > Deity

Originally I was going to go all screaming-fan-girl on ya'll, but I decided that I wanted the readers to experience this book the way I did, so while there is some spoilers, I kept this as spoil-free as much as possible.

Undeniably Epic!

Jennifer L. Armentrout third installment in the Covenant series is nothing short of brilliance. It surpassed all of my wildest expectations and then some. This series is an unstoppable force, bringing something fresh and powerful to the world of mythology as well as inspiring endless emotions from pure joy to pure rage to action punched- spine tingling-on the verge of being thrown from my seat- excitement.

Someone once asked me between the Lux series and this one, which was my favorite book.
Picking a favorite JLA book is like asking me which of my children I love more. It's impossible to choose.
I love them all. Hard and equally.
But I still have to ask, how the hell does she do it?!? I swear there is nothing, I repeat, nothing like being inside a JLA novel. My insides were a rush of energy and a puddle of goo. Alex may have a cord pulsing in her stomach but mine had a swarm of butterflies doing the hula dance. I love/adore/worship the way this women can write. I even smiled to myself when the words obsidian and onyx would play into a sentence. Reminding me that aliens or mythology or even adult contemporary, this women doesn't hold back. She gives us her heart and soul and it shines through every single one of her characters.

Deity was a surge of pure adrenaline. There are so many epic twist in this book and so many moments that I have a hard time believing any of this was real. Like a freaken dream. I was floored in the best way possible.
There is just to many things that happened plot-wise to even try to explain. Compared to Pure, this book steps up in a gigantic way. No skimming room for this one folks, your gonna want to hang on ever word and hold on to your seats cause this is one helluva explosive ride. Things just got freaken serious. Fans are gonna eat this alive.

I don't even know where to start with these characters, they were all simply outstanding.
Deacon, Luke, Leon and even Lenard are just a few that had effected the story line in a way that left me in awe. Especially Leon. I have to say that he was my favorite twist. I always liked him just fine, but now I simply adore him. I can't wait to see more of him in the next coming books.
~I am so so proud of Alex. I new that she was destined for greatness, but I didn't think she would be this incredible. This girl has grown into a fierce force. Her compassion is astounding. Her bravery and strength admirable and her humor and easy personality makes her simply irresistible. The way she didn't want to give up on Seth almost killed me since apart of me doesn't think he deserves it, but in true Alex fashion she even has me believing in hope.
Such a fantastic character.
~Aiden totally owned this book. I wasn't to pleased with him in the last book, but yeah, he totally made up for it.
I love love loved seeing this sweet and playful and affectionate side to him besides the already established protectiveness and loyal qualities he possesses. There were so many treasured moments that made my heart stop and took my breath away. My heart hurt I was so happy. I'm also glad we finally know what agapi mou, zoi mou means now. I melted I tell ya. Reading those Alex and Aiden scenes reminded me of what young first love was all about. The dip in your belly every time he comes into a room. The perma-smile that's plastered on your face when you even think his name. These two makes me believe in love and that anything and everything is possible.
~Now for Seth. ~sigh~ I am truly conflicted. My first reaction after reading this was that I indeed hate him. I've always been Team Aiden all the way, but Seth managed to wiggle some love in the last book, but now? Not so much. He did things that hurt to even read, I'm not even sure he can be redeemed in my eyes. His greed for ultimate power clouded everything good and real about him and I just don't know what to believe anymore. I am awfully curious what JLA has in store for his character. I'm nervous and scared as hell.
~It was also so great to see one of my favorite characters, even if it was just a little scene. It brought peace to my heart just as much as it did for Alex.

I feel like I can go on and on praising this wonderful gem, but the truth is no matter what I say it will never bring this book justice. Fan of this incredible women and this incredible series are going to love this. The writing it pulse pounding pitch perfect and insanely entertaining. The story line took us on a whole new level of oh.my.gods and these characters will make you heart explode.

Pure Awesomesauce!
