Deity is the third book of the Covenant series by Miss Jennifer Armentrout. I actually finished this book last week but since I moved houses I have to postponed everything. All I thing about in the past few days has been getting new cabinets, hangers, rubbish bins, food, money, and gas and not much of anything else.
I'm sorry if the following stuff does not make any sense. Its freezing cold in here and my fingers are not very cooperative, and so is my brain.
The book is still action packed. I can't believe how much events you can jampack in one book. There is still VA similarities, a lot actually, but that's not what is important right now. The important part is that she turned evil at the end of the book. SPOILER!!!! my bad. XD
I mean, it does not make sense even by their standard. Seth is 8 hours drive away. How could he possibly connected to out girl? that is so fucked up. Apollo is there too, he could have done something. He should have known what would happen.
You know what I think? I think Hadez was right. I think our girl was right to accept Hadez offer. I mean, she would be safe in the underworld with Hadez's protection. Its not like she would suffer much. She would see her mother again in the afterlife, and so is her best fried. They could play Wii with Persephone all they want.
I really hope there would be a freaking good explenation as to why she have to live otherwise I would be really pissed of.
Keep reading guys...

Pure by Jennifer Armentrout
Pure is the second book of The Covenant Series written by Jennifer Armentrout. All I can say is that HOLY SHIT!!! This book is like an explosion of events! Its so great! I have read a lot of series and so far theirs nothing like Ms. Armentrouts'. Its so crazy and amazing how the events unfold in a manner in which you can't really catch your breath.
Spoiler!! If you haven't read the book already..
Their school was being infiltrated by daimon, her bestfriend was killed, and the covenant was attacked by a lot more daimons. And when you thought it couldn't get any worsted, the Furies tried to kill her too! That is all in one book! Mind fucked, right there!
And if that wasn't enough "Mind Fuck" for a day, Richelle Mead made this plot first in her Vampire Academy series! I literally read the same plot from VA. Now that's fucked up! VA series came out in the year 2007 while the Covenant series came out in 2011. Oho! what do we have here?! I will keep on reading anyway... I just not buying the book. Lol.
So, keep reading guys.... XD

Half Blood by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Half Blood is the first book of the Covenant series by Jennifer L Armentrout which was published on October 2011. Yes my friends, I am starting another series and no I am not crash reading this time. I don't have too. I'm really just a fast reader.
About the book. I am very skeptical about how the author came up with the idea because the similarities of this book and first book of the Vampire Academy series is uncanny. I mean start of the book is so alike; kick-ass main character, running away from the Academy/Covenant, getting drag back by a hot soldier who later became later turned became her instructor and love interest.
I don't know what to say. I would have liked it very much if I haven't read the same plot years ago. I'm so conflicted! Do I like it? I guess. Am I impress? Hell no! Anyone who read the Vampire Academy series would feel angry. I loved that series. I love Rose. I still do which makes me hurt on how Rose and Alex are so freaking the same!
As much as I hate how the series looked the same I will still keep on reading. That is because that's what I do. I will keep on reading, I am quite curios how the things play out (being so similar and all) and then I would start on another series by the same author, Lux. But that would be for some other time since I still have 4 more books to read in this series. I will not rate this for now since I am very conflicted.

Shadow and Bones & Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo
Yes, its another part of a series. you can move away now. Please don't. This particular book is about a girl (again) who had the power to banish the darkness that divides the country in two. She is sought after by the other country's assassin and her country men alike.
The bad part about the series these days is that the first book feels like nothing. How I manage to finish the book is beyond me but I guess I read far worst. She spent the first book running and getting captures and running again. I mean there should be a limit. She has been captured two times and on the run for three.
The setting is in this fantasy land of which there no name. In this particular world magic is real, and in this particular kingdom (Ravkan), they have been trained to use their powers from the tender age of five to serve in the king's second army. I think there are a few class of them, I'm to lazy to research, and there are subclass as well. Geez... I'm so bad at this. You can say that my lack of effort is because I lack the interest to know. Lets just say they are mages. Some specialize in summoning, some controlling elements and some potions or other nasty things.
The Darkling, at the beginning, is the mighty leader of these mages. A powerful man who is only second to the king. Oh, I forgot to mention, he is also very hot (like any other villain, Spoiler!). Anyway, he discover our dear girl and her powers to banish the darkness. She was then sent to the capital city to train how to use (and she did eventual) and she develop a secret crush on him. Hah! Like I never seen that one before!
I'm not giving anymore spoilers because I think the second book is a lot better. Something is actually happening and I'm quite curios as to how this would end.
The characters passable for me. If I have to grade it I would say B+, the plot is so out there and repetitive so I'm giving it a B and for the overall score is in between B and B+. lol.
If you are looking for a fun read, I have to warn you that this is a gloomy book. If you are into YA fiction then I guess you can try this series out. I want to find out the ending my self so I will be waiting for the last book the trilogy to come out.
Keep reading everyone....

Daughter of Smoke and Bones Review
Daughter of Smoke and Bones is the start of another trilogy written by Laini Taylor. I did not like it. I am on the 58% on my reading (on my Kindle) and nothing is happening. Sure there is that too beautiful angel, Akiva, but other than that, nothing. I king of find my self wanting to read something else. The characters are okay, the plot is a mystery that, so far, I have no interest in knowing. The wishes and magical tattoo's are king off over rated. This book does not give you anything new so just read something else. But if you are a fan of angels and poorly made bad ass characters then this one is for you.
I just that hoped that the author at least gave us something interesting since the plot is already over used. I mean most YA's that are coming out these days are about young teen age girls/boy who dealt with wars; fantasy or otherwise. And the key to stopping the war is to accept who they really are and what they can do. Every damn time.
Over all, this plot has been exhausted and it felt like the author didn't even try to make it smart and witty and interesting. It felt rush like she hasn't even bothered to make up awesomeness in her pages. Like she is just trying to fill the pages and publish it thinking "Well, lets just hope that will work". I guess there are less awesome books out there and maybe this book isn't as bad as I think. Maybe this isn't for me. Oh well...

Shatter Me Trilogy: Cramming three books in two days
Hello everyone. I know, I'm very late to give reviews on this series since the last book of the trilogy came out, like, two months ago. I know and I'm sorry, okay? I don't live near a book store. The town I live in only have about seven thousand people on it, we are lucky enough to have one book store even if not updated. At all.
So yeah... Shatter Me Trilogy... You know I was very skeptical about reading this and I have to admit I was prepared to hate it. Well, you see, I thought it would just be another post apocalyptic shit with a lot of teenage angst. But since I bought my eReader, I thought "what the hell, I might as well read it". So I did and I was right. It is post apocalyptic with a lot of teenage angst but with out the shit.
Sure, the first book was crazy and slow at first. We have a half crazy for a main character, Juliette, who hasn't spoken in more than two hundred days because she was locked in an asylum for killing a child with her bare hands. Not only is she socially handicap she also made the events to be so dragging. I don't blame her, I blame the author. Okay, I don't blame anyone. It's that it made it difficult for me to hang on to the book at the beginning.
Then our Adam came in to her prison cell who happened to be one of the two people who can touch her with out dying. That, for me, was the titanium steel that chained me to the book. I know Adam can be a bit gloomy but, Oh baby! he has charms. He is strong and, in my mind, hot and he just made me fall in love, but not for long. Then came the Commander General of Sector 45. Warner was an ass. A sweet piece of ass. I don't know if its just me or the book actually made me feel it but Adam looks like a candle compared to Warner's bonfire. Warner is hotness overload and I knew then that I want Juliette to end up with him. You have to idea how my chest feels like at this very moment.
I have read this trashy book a few months ago but in this book there is this line I want to share with you but, bloody hell, I can't remember how it was exactly said. It it goes something like this "Happiness have to sides; contempt and bliss. I hope you find your self in the middle, my goddess". At this moment, I am the exactly at the middle; contempt and bliss. And man, I just want to explode right now.
The second book wasn't exactly what I hope would it be. I thought she would finally open her eyes and realize that the world does not revolve around her and her super powers. I mean, there is war going out there. You cannot break down and cry on just about everything. When they arrived at the Omega Point I really thought that is where she's going to turn brilliant but hell no! it feels like her baggage just doubled. Okay, I should cut her some slack since she does not have any social skills. She ignored everybody and looked at no one. Its as if she is guilty of just about everything she does and is. Its fucking frustrating!!! But my love Warner came into the scene and I was saved and I kind of wished I was her instead.
The second book, Unravel Me, is like the book of revelation. She found out what she can do (Although there was never a name for it) and what exactly The Reestablishment is. I know that The Reestablishment is not very good at reestablishing anything and also very corrupt but, Holy Shit! There are others with super powers. I should have known that if there is one power, there should be more but I guess I never thought about it that way. I feel so dumb right now.
Anyway, just like the tittle says. Its the unraveling of what is actually going on since Juliette was in isolation for years. I'm gonna say this again, she is so lame in this book. Then the pre-war happened. She shot the Supreme Commander in both legs (the only cool thing she ever did in this book) and got Warner as a hostage. I'm gonna skip to the part that really mattered, to me. They got hot and heavy. I envy Juliette so fucking much then she fucking ruined it because there was Adam (who wasn't an exception to her touch anymore since he can still get hurt if he is not using his abilities (yes, have powers too)) who she cant touch, anymore because she is too afraid.
So long story short, they went to war, they lost, Omega Point was bombed to the ground. Juliette was taken back to the Supreme Commander (the same one she shot in both legs) and was shot to the chest in front of Warner. Holy Shit right?
Book three was my favorite. You have to read it your self because I don't want to spoil you so much. All I am gonna say is that I was thoroughly happy of how it ended. When the Omega Point was bombed I thought "holy shit, she would realize her feelings for Warner but by that time it would all be too late because Warner will die and she would go bat shit crazy and demolish The Reestablishment and at the end of the book she would be so emotionally damaged that the other survivors of the Omega Point will have to put her down and she would be totally happy about it since can finally be with Warner". Well, my ending would have been so much more dramatic but Ms. Mafi's ending is cool too. I'm actually quite glad it didn't end like I thought it would end.
Anyway, I am gonna be rereading the series since I cram read it but this time I'm gonna be taking my sweet time. I'm gonna savor the moments, specially the last book and I would swear on the name of my first born child (I don't and I wont have one) that I would get hard copies of the book because it was just so damn good! It deserve to be bought.
Keep reading!
p.s.
I'm not gonna proof read this post because I'm so sleepy already. Ask if you have any questions and if you are confuse, don't worry I am too. I mean confuse about the post not the sexuality because I am dead straight. I am an ever loving fun of fictional man. Lol. I will copy right that!!!

Ask Again Later by Liz Czukas
Hello dear people, I will be reviewing the book on the title, Ask Again Later by Ms. Czukas. If you ask me if it was mind blowing, I would say no. I you will ask me if it was ground breaking, its for-sure no. But was it the best fun reading it, hell yes! The story was about a girl named Heart and her prom night. Nothing crazy just your typical who-should-I-go-with issue, will it be the jock who was ditch by his girlfriend before prom or the theater geek who just entrusted her a deep secret.
What's actually cool about this book it that it doesn't need brilliant twist or crazy awesome plot, it was just plain humor and exceptional writing. I mean it's prom, its the the cliche` of all cliche, but the author made it possible for me to love it and savor it to the last pages. I can't count the times when I looked like an idiot laughing.
Anyway, the MC hates her name with a passion. I can relate to that when I was younger for the total opposite reason. My real name is a very old name (It was even mention in the book) and I kind of hated that my parents didn't have the creativity to come up with a cool one. Not anymore now, but our MC hated hers so much she would change it the minute she turns 18. Ok, I get that she hate Heart but what I don't get is why would she replace it with Audrey? or Bridgette or something? I mean if you could be any fruit you want, would you be an apple? NO! I would be something exotic and totally badass! Tsk tsk... but I have to tell you, she is awesomely funny. She gives you the most amazing laughs ever, if your into these things.
And our guy, Chase! (or Shroeder for our MC) He is so brilliant he calls our girl Heart pancreas, spleen, lungs and any other internal organs. Brilliant, right? he is also a very caring person who is just right for our Heart. And he plays the piano, what more could I say?
You might be saying right now "You are all over the place" or "You don't make sense" that is fine. I am thinking the same thing and I am fine with that since that is a good sign. A good sign to what? A good sign that I actually genuinely like this book. It's like I cant get to the point fast enough and I just want to get the words out before they are lost. And if I review a book where I am almost on the right order of things then it a "meeh..." book. A meeh book is when I like a book okay and the words doesn't come out fast which give me more time to think of what I'm actually doing. When I am writing a review where I am really on the right format when reviewing something that is when I don't like that book, that would be me trying to explain and convince you not to waste your precious little time on that book. I will give you every little crappy detail, blow by blow, on why that book needs to be unpublished.
So, Ask Again Later is fantastic. I would rate it an awesome little 8, I would give it a bit more if there was a bit more but I think it is perfect as it is but my rate will be the samea. Awesome read, go read it.
