Elixir Review
Elixir (Covenant #3.5) by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Aiden St. Delphi will do anything to save Alex.
Even if it means doing the one thing he will never forgive himself for.
Even if it means making war against the gods.

4.44/5
My review
Aidens love for Alex blew me away in this book. I thought I knew that they love each other when I read about them in previous books, but this one. Wow. He loves her even more than he loves himself and his life. He wants to save her so desperately and he'll do everything he can to get his Alex back.
Alex was really freaky in Elixir, almost like she was possessed by a devil, which she was and Seth was the devil. Seth loves her too in his own way and no one seems to understand that. I'm not defending him, because he has done horrible things, under the influence or not; but he is doing everything Aiden is, just differently. He's trying to pull her back to him, because he needs her, and I don't think he needs her just so he can absorb her power and become the God killer, but he needs her because he wants desperately be a good guy. So Aiden and Seth, when it comes to Alex, aren't that different, well minus the killing innocent people.
I don't know why, but I liked this novella even more than I liked previous books. Maybe it has something to do with being written in Aidens POV. I liked that Jennifer gave us an insight in his mind, because I was always curious what he was thinking most of the time. And she just gave us a reason to love him more, with the love he has for Alex and the passion to save her.

Deity Review
Deity (Covenant #3) 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...

My review
Holy Gods! I'm just going to start with the ending here. It was, well, it was expected really, but it was still mind-blowing. The last scene still managed to surprise me even though I was totally aware that something like that is going to happen.
What I didn't expect was, that the author would end it like this, with this big cliffhanger. I was sure I have at least 15 pages till end of the book (I was reading on my iPad). And when it came to that scene, and I was really nervous then, and when I turned the page... Nothing. Nada. End of book three. I almost screamed, honest to god.
I read a lot of reviews on this one and they were saying that it is better than first two books. I don't really know, I like each book equally, maybe I like this one less because it had too little of Seth (don't judge, I'm still a Seth girl even after everything) but all in all it was enjoyable.
I had some issues with Alex. Again. I like her and she changed tremendously, but still... I hate it when characters go full-on Tris in Allegiant mode! I do not want to go through something like that again. I repeat: I do not. I thought I was never going to stop crying then. Anyway, when she started with that, I totally agreed with Aiden that she's crazy. I don't like when characters are willing to kill themselves or be killed by others, because they don't see a way out and they want to protect people around them. I know it's fiction, but it bothers me still. There are a lot of young people reading those kinds of books and they might get the wrong idea about suicide. It's a nasty subject this one, and I don't want people to romanticize it.
I try to avoid spoilers, so this is why my reviews are so short. I try to review the book without actually spoiling things.

Pure Review
Pure (Covenant #2) by Jennifer L. Armentrout
There is need. And then there is Fate. Being destined to become some kind of supernatural electrical outlet isn't exactly awesome--especially when Alexandria's other half is everywhere she goes. Seth's in her training room, outside her classes, and keeps showing up in her bedroom--so not cool. Their connection does have some benefits, like staving off her nightmares of the tragic showdown with her mother, but it has no effect on what Alex feels for the forbidden, pure-blooded Aiden. Or what he will do--and sacrifice--for her.
When daimons infiltrate the Covenants and attack students, the gods send furies--lesser gods determined to eradicate any threat to the Covenants and to the gods, and that includes the Apollyon--and Alex. And if that and hordes of aether-sucking monsters didn't blow bad enough, a mysterious threat seems willing to do anything to neutralize Seth, even if that means forcing Alex into servitude--or killing her. When the gods are involved, some decisions can never, ever be undone.
4.37/5
My review
I picked this book up, because I was, well bored. I have all those other books to read, but all the mention of Jennifer lately got me curious as to why I started reading this series. I have read Half Blood three years ago and with the short memory I have, I remembered nothing. But there was this gnawing feeling that I found the first book amazing if I gave it 5 stars!
So I just read my review for Half Blood. I don't know really why I gave the book 5 stars (ok, I admit it, it was mainly because of Seth), and the book reminded me of Vampire Academy, so much that I almost stopped reading. Huh... Reading the second book, I had this small voice in my head saying: Haven't you read a book similar to this one? No I know.
But still, it was a great read. Fast paced, pages filled with words that made you want to read even while you're sleeping.
There were two things I didn't like in the book: first was the love triangle; I forgot that two years ago this was the only thing all the books had in common, and I mean all. Ok not all, but in general almost every second book that got published. I remember how annoyed I was, because it was always the same. But hey, you can't choose how your heart feels right?
The second thing was Alex's attitude. Remember, I read this book three years ago when I was 17 and still wild and much like Alex. Now I'm 20 and it was really hard not to be annoyed with her and her somewhat idiotic behaviour. I know, I know, being 20 doesn't mean I'm suddenly a serious grown up, because I am not, mind you, but I have grown these past years. So it was really really difficult at first. But then she changed a little, and I liked it. Other than that, Alex is a brave girl and I loved it when she exposed her daimon bites in front of everybody. It's brave to get rid of your insecurities and show the world that the scars you have don't make you weak.
As I said before, it was a good book, so good that I'm going to read the rest of the series.
