Deity

Deity is the third book of Jennifer L. Armentrout's The Covenant series.

"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 irrevocable changed... and destroyed.

Those left standing will discover if love is truly greater than Fate...

The Breakdown:
1.  JLA really steps up the story in this book. She brings to light Lucian's plans for Seth and Alex, and also brings the gods into the mixture. There is plenty of action in this book, both in the literal sense and in the romantic sense.

2. Finally, in this book Alex and Aiden are on the same page.  Things really heat up between them in this book.  Not ashamed to admit, I am firmly on Team Aiden.  He is willing to do anything to protect her, even ignoring his own feelings.  Plus, he has some serious heart-melting moments with her.

3. I knew that Seth could not be trusted.  There is so much he lies about to Alex.  I do not think that he is a bad person underneath it all,  but he is definitely following the wrong leader, and has a serious power trip going on whenever he and Alex connect.

4.  Alex's Awakening was super intense, and I cannot wait to see what happens next.  What happens between both her and Aiden and her and Seth, and what the gods are going to do about everything?
