Sentinel (Covenant #5) by Jennifer L. Armentrout

It's a beautiful day for a war.

As the mortal world slowly slips into chaos of the godly kind, Alexandria Andros must overcome a stunning defeat that has left her shaken and in doubt of their ability to end this war once and for all.

And with all the obstacles between Alex and her happily-ever-after with the swoonworthy Aiden St. Delphi, they must now trust a deadly foe as they travel deep into the Underworld to release one of the most dangerous gods of all time.

In the stunning, action-packed climax to the bestselling Covenant series, Alex must face a terrible choice: the destruction of everything and everyone she holds dear… or the end of herself.






My Thoughts: *Might contain spoilers from previous books in this series*


Sentinel was epically fantastic! What a perfect, beautiful, amazing ending to a fantastic series! I honestly couldn't have asked for a more perfect conclusion to this series. It was so beautiful and I cried so hard at the end. 

This book completely blew me away. I love how much Alex has grown through each book and how much it showed in this final one. She has gone through so much and matured so much yet she still remains positive and down-to-earth and I find her to be a greatly admirable character. I love her so much and I loved seeing her mature and overcome everything. 

In the previous books I was not a huge fan of Seth, like at all. I really didn't like him and I didn't like the decisions he made, and I wondered how he could do the things he did, but in this final book I feel like he did get some redemption. We really delve into what happened from Seth's side and how everything affected him and oh god, it broke my heart! I can't wait for The Return to come out and continue reading Seth's story! 

So much happened in this book! There were so many thing resolved, so many plot twists! It was really fast paced and something was always happening, it was never boring and I just couldn't stop reading! I had to wait until I was home to read this book because I was getting so many emotions from reading it!

Sentinel ended perfectly, in my opinion. I feel like Alex and Aiden both got the perfect ending that they deserved and I  am so happy with it! I finished this book at around 1 in the morning and literally cried for the last 60 pages, not out of sadness really, but just because I was overwhelmed with feels! This book was so amazing and it was everything that I could have asked for in a conclusion to this series. I'm so sad that this series is over, but I will definitely be re-reading it probably more than 5 times and I know that this series and its characters will live on with me for a long time. 

Rating: 5+ Stars!





Apollyon (Covenant #4) by Jennifer L. Armentrout

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 the barriers that guard the Underworld, searching for one soul among countless millions, and then somehow returning will be hard enough. Alex might be able to keep Seth from becoming the God Killer… or she might become the God Killer herself.



My Thoughts: *Might contain spoilers from previous books in this series*


Holy crap. This series honestly just keeps getting better and better with every book I read! This book was so amazing, I could not stop reading it! My love for this series has grown so much and it's now one of my all time favorites.

Somehow, Alex got even more awesome in this book. I seriously love Alex, she's one of my favorite characters. She's so kick-ass, strong and just awesome! She's so snarky and hilarious. I love reading her story. In this book we also get a lot more Aiden and Alex scenes, which I loved. Alex and Aiden are one of my favorite book couples, I love them together.

This book had a lot of kick-ass moments. We got to see Alex fighting for her life and for the life of all Pures and Half-Bloods. She's got the gods and pures both trying to kill her and her friends. It was amazing to see how much growth Alex has gone through and how much she's changed as a character. She's really grown and matured, but she's still snarky and kickass at the same time. 

I can't say much without spoilers, but overall this book was f'n awesome! I loved every single second of it and have loved every single second of this series! I recommend this to anyone who loves YA books with an awesome plot, kick ass character and hilarious dialogue!

Graceling (Graceling Realm #1) by Kristin Cashore

Katsa has been able to kill a man with her bare hands since she was eight - she's a Graceling, one of the rare people in her land born with an extreme skill. As niece of the king, she should be able to live a life of privilege, but Graced as she is with killing, she is forced to work as the king's thug.

When she first meets Prince Po, Graced with combat skills, Katsa has no hint of how her life is about to change.

She never expects to become Po's friend.

She never expects to learn a new truth about her own Grace - or about a terrible secret that lies hidden far away..







My Thoughts:


This book took me by complete surprise. I didn't expect to love it even half as much as I did. I'm not a huge lover of fantasy because honestly, I've only ever read a few fantasy books, so I was a little skeptical about this book but I loved it. I enjoyed far more than I was expecting to!

I really enjoyed Katsa as a character. At first when she comes in she's kind of cold and doesn't have very many feelings because she's her uncles hitman, basically. Then she meets Po. Gosh, I love Po! He's warm, hilarious and just so adorable. I loved him so much! Him and Katsa were great together, they make an awesome team. I also enjoyed a lot of the side characters. I liked how strong and defiant Bitterblue was even though she was 10 and I loved Raffin!

I was just immediately sucked into this world and loved it so much. I read this book in one day and stayed up late to finish it. There were lots of plot twists and so many things happened, this book really was never a dull moment!

Overall, I loved Graceling so much! It really makes me want to read more fantasy and I've already picked up the sequel, Fire which doesn't follow Katsa and Po but I still can't wait to read it! I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys fantasy or is looking to start getting more into it!

Perfect Kind of Trouble by Chelsea Fine

Daren Ackwood is a bad boy with a mysterious past-He's the kind of guy who knows he can get any girl he wants. Kayla doesn't do bad boys-in any sense of the word. They have a tendency to leave scars and dust trails in their wake, and Kayla isn't running short on either. So when Daren rolls up to her father's funeral in his shiny sports car, Kayla knows she needs to keep her distance during her brief stay in this tiny God-forsaken town. She's here to take care of her father's will, nothing more. The trouble is, Daren doesn't see it that way. And he usually gets his way.









My Thoughts:

Wow, I loved this book! I absolutely adored it!

I loved the whole scavenger hunt to find the money Kayla's dad left her and Daren, it was so fun to read about and I loved how it brought Kayla and Daren together. I loved seeing how their opinion on each other in the end completely changed from the beginning of the book. 

I really liked Kayla as a character. She was very real and she had self respect which is very admirable. She stayed away from guys because she was trying to focus on getting her life together and she doesn't want a guy who only likes her for her body, she was to be viewed as a person, not just ass and tits, which made me respect her a lot. With the kind of crappy life she was handed I would have expected her to be more bitter and bitchy, but she wasn't. 

And Daren...It was so nice to see his back story and get much more of a feel for him as a character. I liked him in Best Kind of Broken because I thought he was funny, but now I'm just totally in love with the dude. He's stolen my heart and I'm glad he has. Daren is sexy, hilarious, witty but also not as tough as he makes you think. He's had a really tough life and everyone he's cared for has left him, making him think he's not worthy of anyone. He thinks all he's good at and good for is sex, which just tore my heart. I wanted Daren and Kayla to get their happy ending so bad because they deserved it so much. 

I loved reading as Kayla finds out the real reason behind why her and her dad lost contact and how all the hurt and bitterness she has pent up towards him gets replaced with the love she has for the father she knew when she younger, not the one who was absent. That was just beautiful and even made me tear up.

This book was so fantastic I stayed up until 1am to finish it. My eyes were heavy but I just could not stop reading until Kayla and Daren got their happy ending. I am so glad they did in the end because they both deserved it so much, that and more. I loved this book, the characters and how everything came together in the end. I will definitely be reading more of Chelsea Fine's books in the future!

Burn for Burn by Siobhan Vivian & Jenny Han

Postcard-perfect Jar Island is the kind of place where nobody locks their doors at night, where parents can sleep easy, knowing their daughters are tucked away safe and sound in their beds. 

But bad things can happen, even to good girls . . . and sometimes, the only way to make things right is to do something wrong. 

Lillia used to trust boys, but not anymore. Not after what happened this summer. And she’ll do whatever it takes to protect her little sister from the same fate. 

Kat is over the rumors, the insults, the cruel jokes made at her expense. It all goes back to one person--her ex-best friend. Someone needs to teach her a lesson, and, with Lillia and Mary behind her, Kat feels up to the task.

Four years ago, Mary left Jar Island because of a boy. But she’s not the same girl anymore. Now that she’s got friends who have her back, he's going to be in big trouble.

Three very different girls who come together to make things right. Will they go too far?



My Thoughts:

I really enjoyed this book a lot more than I thought I would! I've heard a lot of really good things about this book, but honestly didn't have high expectations because it didn't really sound like my kind of book, but I actually really enjoyed it! It reminded me a little of Carrie, except three girls instead of just one. 

This story was very unique and I enjoyed reading about the girls getting back at the people who had wronged them. It was filled with a ton of teen drama which I'm not a huge fan of, one of the reasons I didn't think I'd like this book, and although the drama was super cheesy at some points I didn't get super annoyed. There were some parts that were just too cheesy for me, though. 

I liked how each girl was distinguished enough that when the POV's switched it wasn't a problem. I liked how all the girls were connected with each other and the people they were trying to get revenge on. I wasn't a huge fan of any of the girls really, I didn't connect with any of them but I still liked them mostly. 

Overall, I did really enjoy Burn for Burn. It was unique, fast-paced and kept me interested. I will definitely be picking up the sequel, Fire with Fire!

School Spirits by Rachel Hawkins

Fifteen-year-old Izzy Brannick was trained to fight monsters. For centuries, her family has hunted magical creatures. But when Izzy’s older sister vanishes without a trace while on a job, Izzy's mom decides they need to take a break.

Izzy and her mom move to a new town, but they soon discover it’s not as normal as it appears. A series of hauntings has been plaguing the local high school, and Izzy is determined to prove her worth and investigate. But assuming the guise of an average teenager is easier said than done. For a tough girl who's always been on her own, it’s strange to suddenly make friends and maybe even have a crush.

Can Izzy trust her new friends to help find the secret behind the hauntings before more people get hurt? 




My Thoughts:

This is a spin-off from the Hex Hall series, which I loved, so I was super excited to read this! I love Rachel Hawkins fun, hilarious writing style. There are many laugh out loud moments in this book, also with a few swoon-worthy moments thrown in. 

Izzy was a great heroine, she was totally kick-ass, funny and she knows so little about the real world and what goes on with normal teenagers who don't hunt ghosts and vampires. It was a little hard to connect with her as a character, but I still enjoyed her.

Dex was my favorite character of all. He's Izzy's main love interest in this book, althought there wasn't too much romance in it, just a smidge. He's adorable and dorky, the total opposite of those arrogant bad boys we're so used to in YA and it was a nice change. The banter between Izzy and him was adorable and cute! He was unique, quirky and just totally adorable, I'm so rooting for him and Izzy to be together. 

I'm not too sure I liked the ending though. It definitely didn't end the way that I wanted it to, but in the same way I can understand the ending because it's a great opening for the sequel. This book was published 2013 but we still have no news of the sequel? Hmm. I'm really excited for it, so hopefully the title and cover will be revealed soon!

Alienated by Melissa Landers

Two years ago, the aliens made contact. Now Cara Sweeney is going to be sharing a bathroom with one of them. 

Handpicked to host the first-ever L’eihr exchange student, Cara thinks her future is set. Not only does she get a free ride to her dream college, she’ll have inside information about the mysterious L’eihrs that every journalist would kill for. Cara’s blog following is about to skyrocket.

Still, Cara isn’t sure what to think when she meets Aelyx. Humans and L’eihrs have nearly identical DNA, but cold, infuriatingly brilliant Aelyx couldn’t seem more alien. She’s certain about one thing, though: no human boy is this good-looking.

But when Cara's classmates get swept up by anti-L'eihr paranoia, Midtown High School suddenly isn't safe anymore. Threatening notes appear in Cara's locker, and a police officer has to escort her and Aelyx to class. 

Cara finds support in the last person she expected. She realizes that Aelyx isn’t just her only friend; she's fallen hard for him. But Aelyx has been hiding the truth about the purpose of his exchange, and its potentially deadly consequences. Soon Cara will be in for the fight of her life—not just for herself and the boy she loves, but for the future of her planet.



My Thoughts:

I loved this book so much that I stayed up until 2am to finish reading it. That rarely every happens anymore because I never stay up late nowadays, but this book just got me so hooked and so in love, I couldn't put it down! 

I fell in love with the characters in this book. Cara did annoy me sometimes, but most of the time I really loved her and her loyalty to Aelyx. She just grew on me and I loved her as a heroine. She was always trying to make Aelyx comfortable and trying to help him adjust to living on Earth. Aelyx also grew on me, I didn't know how I felt about him at the beginning because he was robotic, distant and seemed kind of standoffish, but eventually he started to become less robotic and show more feelings. 

This book was a little predictable. There were some things I was able to predict right from the second page. There weren't really any surprises for me, nothing that happened was a huge surprise for me.  Aside from the predictability, I did really enjoy this book and the characters! 

Overall, I fell for this book and it's characters. I'm loving Sci-Fi at the moment and this book was perfect for me! I hope you'll read this and fall for it as much as I did!

Rebel Belle by Rachel Hawkins

Harper Price, peerless Southern belle, was born ready for a Homecoming tiara. But after a strange run-in at the dance imbues her with incredible abilities, Harper's destiny takes a turn for the seriously weird. She becomes a Paladin, one of an ancient line of guardians with agility, super strength and lethal fighting instincts.

Just when life can't get any more disastrously crazy, Harper finds out who she's charged to protect: David Stark, school reporter, subject of a mysterious prophecy and possibly Harper's least favorite person. But things get complicated when Harper starts falling for him—and discovers that David's own fate could very well be to destroy Earth.

With snappy banter, cotillion dresses, non-stop action and a touch of magic, this new young adult series from bestseller Rachel Hawkins is going to make y'all beg for more.





My Thoughts:


I am a huge fan of Rachel Hawkins. I loved the Hex Hall trilogy, it was one of my favorite trilogies back in 2012 so I was really excited to read this! Rachel Hawkins writes hilarious, light but still kick-ass stories, and this one did not disappoint! 

The main character Harper Price was actually a hilarious and awesome heroine. I wasn't sure if I would like her because she's literally the exact opposite of me, personality wise, but I really enjoyed reading in her POV most of the time. She was hilarious, fun and kick-ass. I'll admit I didn't exactly connect with her very well because as a character she didn't have much depth, but I still really liked her. I also loved David Stark. He was just so adorable and dorky, but I loved it. It was a change from the brooding, jackasses in most YA books and it was very refreshing. The romance between Harper and David was great, I felt the chemistry and connection between them. I love them together and I'm definitely rooting for them to stay together forever!

This book did have a bit of a Buffy the Vampire Slayer feel to it. The fighting scenes reminded me a lot of Buffy and also the drama and romance that's added in gave it a bit of a Buffy feel, which I loved since I'm a huge Buffy fan! I like that this book had really good world building, I felt that enough things were explained well enough that I wasn't totally confused, although there were parts where I was a little lost and I do have more questions that I'm hoping will be answered in the sequel!

Overall, this was a kick-ass book with a kick-ass, hilarious heroine and I loved it! I highly recommend this to anyone who's looking for an action packed book with plenty fun and hilarious moments, pick this up!

Invisibility by Andrea Cremer & David Levithan

Stephen has been invisible for practically his whole life — because of a curse his grandfather, a powerful cursecaster, bestowed on Stephen’s mother before Stephen was born. So when Elizabeth moves to Stephen’s NYC apartment building from Minnesota, no one is more surprised than he is that she can see him. A budding romance ensues, and when Stephen confides in Elizabeth about his predicament, the two of them decide to dive headfirst into the secret world of cursecasters and spellseekers to figure out a way to break the curse. But things don’t go as planned, especially when Stephen’s grandfather arrives in town, taking his anger out on everyone he sees. In the end, Elizabeth and Stephen must decide how big of a sacrifice they’re willing to make for Stephen to become visible — because the answer could mean the difference between life and death. At least for Elizabeth.


My Thoughts:


I was really interested to read this because I've read Andrea Cremer's Nightshade trilogy and I really loved it, although I'd never read anything by David Levithan before so I was also interested to read this and see if I liked his writing style. While I did like the writing style at most points in the story, I wasn't a huge fan of the book itself. 

My first problem with the book was the insta-love. Stephen and Elizabeth meet each other, then the next day their madly in love. I didn't feel any connection or chemistry between these characters, I honestly didn't even feel anything. Their relationship was just bland and I couldn't connect with it. It just felt flat to me.

Another problem I had was that not everything was explained as much as I wanted it to be. We never got to find out why exactly Elizabeth was the only one to be able to see Stephen. The world building was a little lacking and it left me with a few unanswered questions. As for the end of the book, there was resolution somewhat but I wasn't exactly happy with how it ended. I would have liked it to end a different way, plus it was a pretty open ending but as far as I know this is going to stay a standalone. 


Overall, I loved the writing in Invisibility and the premise, but I wasn't a huge fan of the main characters or the romance. I was a bit disappointed with the book unfortunately, but hopefully you'll like it more than I did!

White Hot Kiss by Jennifer L. Armentrout

One kiss could be the last 

Seventeen-year-old Layla just wants to be normal. But with a kiss that kills anything with a soul, she's anything but normal. Half demon, half gargoyle, Layla has abilities no one else possesses. 

Raised among the Wardens—a race of gargoyles tasked with hunting demons and keeping humanity safe—Layla tries to fit in, but that means hiding her own dark side from those she loves the most. Especially Zayne, the swoon-worthy, incredibly gorgeous and completely off-limits Warden she's crushed on since forever. 

Then she meets Roth—a tattooed, sinfully hot demon who claims to know all her secrets. Layla knows she should stay away, but she's not sure she wants to—especially when that whole no-kissing thing isn't an issue, considering Roth has no soul. 

But when Layla discovers she's the reason for the violent demon uprising, trusting Roth could not only ruin her chances with Zayne…it could brand her a traitor to her family. Worse yet, it could become a one-way ticket to the end of the world.





Some teasers!

"Free will isn't bullshit, Roth."
He stopped suddenly in front of me and our eyes locked. "Say it again."
I frowned. "Say what?"
"My name."
"Roth...?"
The dimples appeared again. "Did you know that was the first time you've used my name? I've decided I quite like hearing you say it."


"You undo me. You have no idea how you undo me." 




My Thoughts:

I will admit, this wasn't my favorite Jennifer L. Armentrout book, but I did still really enjoy it! I have to say, Jennifer L. Armentrout really knows how to write hot guys and great romance.

I love Jennifer Armentrout's dialogue between characters. She always writes hilarious, witty banter that I just love! Roth was definitely my favorite out of the love-triangle in this book. I didn't hate Zayne, but I didn't exactly like him either. I didn't really understand Layla's feelings for him, either. It seemed to me like he kept a lot of things from her and she also kept things from him, so I didn't see why she thought she loved him. But with Roth she was able to be her whole-self, she didn't have to hide her demon half from him like she had to around Zayne. Roth understood her more and accepted both halves of her, he didn't make her hate her other half of herself. I also love Roth's snake, Bambi!

I didn't really connect with Layla or particularly like her that much. I'm used to Jennifer L. Armentrout's characters being strong, independent, sassy, take-shit-from-nobody heroines, but Layla wasn't really like that. The Warden's would disrespect her and treat her like shit and she just took it, saying in her mind they were the only family she had but in reality they're never going to accept her for who she really is, or what she really is.

I found it a little hard to get fully immersed into this story and fully get sucked into it. It took me a while longer to get through this book than it should have for me. I was kind of frustrated and annoyed by the love-triangle, but I'm not a huge fan of love-triangles in general. I felt like Layla's feelings for both Roth and Zayne would enter into the plot at unnecessary times. Her feelings for Zayne also kind of frustrated me just because I couldn't connect with her relationship with him or understand why she thought she felt so strongly about him.

I did really love the setting of this book and the world. I love Jennifer Armentrout's fast-paced writing style and learning about the history and everything behind Warden's and demons. I have never read a book about gargoyles and demons, so this was definitely new and interesting for me, I really did love it! There were a lot of crazy plot twists in this book, and a lot of crazy things just going on in general.

Oh my god, the ending of this book... I almost cried. I teared up a little. Freakin' cliffhangers! It broke my heart.

I think this book is a must read for everyone! It was fast-paced and filled with extra hot demons and gargoyles! I really enjoyed it and can't wait for the sequel, Stone Cold Touch!

Rating: 4/5 Stars!

Deity (Covenant #3) by Jennifer L. Arementrout

“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…





My Thoughts: *Contains spoilers from the previous books*


This series seriously only just gets better and better with each book I read. This one is most definitely my favorite of this series, and considering how much I loved the other books, you can imagine how good this one was.

The thing I loved the most about this book was there was a lot more Aiden! I love Aiden St.Delphi so much, my love for him just grows and grows with every book I read of him. This book was unputdownable, it was so fast-paced and action packed, there was always something happening, always something going on and I loved it! 

Alex has gone through a lot of character development and she has really come a long way since the first book, Half-Blood. She's still a super kick-ass heroine but she's matured a lot more and I find her to be a really admirable character. She's definitely one of my favorite heroins. She is such a strong character, especially with how much she's gone through and how much she has to go through every single day. 

We see a lot more of both Seth and Aiden in Deity. We get to see a softer side to Aiden and I loved finding out more about him and his backstory to how he chose to become a Sentinel. We get to see that Aiden is a more deeper and complex character than he seems to be, which of course, just made me love him even more than before. I am anxiously awaiting for him and Alex to get their happy ending, I want them both to be happy together so bad. I think they're perfect together and they both deserve their happy ending. 

Now, Seth pissed me off a lot in this book. Like, a lot. I think he's a great character, he's kick-ass and hilarious, but he was a huge douche in this book, to be honest. I understand why he was being one, and you'll see why in the book but he still frustrated me and got on my nerves a lot. I still don't think Alex and him would work well together because all they have together is desire and that's all. You do get to see more of Seth's backstory in Deity also. Even though Seth pissed me off in this book I still also want to see him get his happy ending. 

Things get seriously crazy in this book! So many things happened in this book and there were so many insane twists that I didn't see coming! Nobody is trustworthy in this book and no one is who they say are. 

Overall, Deity is my favorite of this series and it was fantastic! Things just get crazier and crazier, so much happens and there's so many twists. I couldn't put this book down, I stayed up until 2am finishing it, but it was completely worth it! If you haven't read this series yet, do it now!
