Pure ~ Jennifer L. Armentrout Review

Pure
by: Jennifer L. Armentrout


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


As I stated before… This book seriously gives me heart palpitations…. but then again so do the following books. But still.

It's a great book and it ultimately sets up ( and when rereading clears up) the many twists and turns soon to come in the storyline.


In this book:

Alex - At times I wanted to throttle her, other times I just wanted to give her a hug, and there were a few times that I was ready to fight for her.

Aiden -  I love me some Aiden St. Delphi but I was seriously tempted to take a knee to him a few times ( not that the hit would make it) for some of his words and actions.

Seth - Oh you know, he's still the same old Seth. Still not sure if he's team good guy or bad guy. The difference in this book is I always find myself starting to not care what team he's on because he's clearly team Alex/himself. When he's with her there's this whole other side that i quickly find myself crushing on. Every. Single. Time.


Ok glad that the heart wrenching and palpitation giving book is over. Now the plot deepens.

Pure Quotes



"Pure-bloods were off-limits to us halfs, which meant what had gone down between us was tantamount to feeling up the Pope or offering Gandhi a roast beef sandwich."

"Seth remained still for a minute, maybe two. Then he moved his arm down, circling my waist, pulling me closer. My body fit against his, my hand resting on his chest. Under my palm, his heart hammered as wildly as mine."

"He clapped his hands together, letting out a rather high-pitched squeal before grabbing my hand. “Oh, we are going to have so much fun! Aren’t we? Fun, Alex— we will have fun.” "



Honestly I didn't highlight much because I got sucked in, as usual, I couldn't even stop.

What I'm Reading




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.


 This book gives me heart palpations….. but still:




Need I say more? 

Happy Reading (if you're with me)
