Deity ~ Jennifer L. Armentrout Review

Deity
by: Jennifer L. Armentrout 


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I always struggle with Deity. 

I know that in the grand scheme of things the way things go down in the book is necessary but for the most part it aggravates me. 

Still a great book with a great couple of plot twists. 

Alex: Holy Daimon Babies!!! When I say she annoyed me in this book, I mean it! It was like, haven't you learned by now girl??? Yeesh! Open your eyes. 

Aiden: Team Aiden all the freaking way. Marry me sir. Marry me.

Seth: . . . well we are no longer having trouble debating team Seth's placement. . . he's back to being a douche. . . a major douche.

All in all the insight and set up in this book was amazing, and I'd reread it billions of time ( if i haven't already) because this is the book where true colors start to show and the plot seriously twist and turns and deepens that I can't help but keep turning the pages!


Deity Teaser



“Something… something is different about you.”

A desire to flee the room filled me, but I faced him instead. I glanced down at my palms. The marks were still there. Why did I keep checking on them like they’d go away or something? “So much has happened, Aiden. I’m not the same person.”

 “You were the same person the day you found out about your father,” he said, eyes turning the color of a thundercloud.

Anger began low in my stomach, humming through my veins. “That has nothing to do with this.” Aiden pushed off the wall, hands coming out of his pockets. “What is this?”

“Everything!” My fingers dug into my palms. “What’s the point in all of this? Let’sjust think hypothetically here for a second, okay? Say Telly or whoever doesn’t manage to send me into servitude or kill me and the furies don’t end up tearing me apart, I’m still going to turn eighteen. I’m still going to Awaken. So what’s the point? Maybe I should leave.” I stalked to where I’d dropped my bag. “Maybe Lucian will let me go to Ireland or something. I’d like to visit there before I be—”

Aiden grabbed my upper arm, turning me so that I faced him.

“You said you had to stay at the Covenant so you could graduate, because you needed to be a Sentinel more than anyone else in the room.” His voice dropped low as his eyes searched mine intently. “You were passionate about this. Has that changed?” I yanked on my arm, but he held on.

“Maybe.”

 The tips of Aiden’s cheekbones flushed. “So you’re giving up?”

“I don’t think it’s giving up. Call it… accepting reality.” I smiled, but it felt icky.

“That is such bull, Alex.”

What I'm Reading




"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




This book is the its-about-to-go-down-book

Need I say more?

Happy reading!
