This week, I am waiting on...
Pure (Covenant #2)
by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Expected Publication Date: April 3rd, 2012
Synopsis: 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.
A while ago, I read the first book in the Covenant series, Half-Blood, and I LOVED it. Love, love, love! I highly recommend it to everyone, especially those who like fantastic characters and a swoon-worthy romance. I am so excited and cannot wait for the second book! Ah! So excited :)
What are you waiting on this Wednesday?
I haven't read this series, but OH MY GOODNESS, the COVERS! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI'm really looking forward to Pure! Half-blood was so exciting!

ReplyDeleteI loved Half-Blood as well. Jennifer will write a certain steamy scene from Aiden's POV if Alex wins the next round in the YA Tourney. I really hope she does.

Ahh yes definitely! I cannot wait for Pure to be released. Not a fan of their covers, but I thought Half-Blood was really good!

I still have to read Half-Blood! I'm so in love with the idea for the series so I'm basically crying inside because I still haven't had the chance to get my hands on the first book :'(

ReplyDeleteAnna @ Literary Exploration
Soooo pretty!! Love the cover - great choice!! I really need to read this series, too.
ReplyDeleteCool! I'll have to see if I like book one!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
My "WOW"
This book is AMAZING. There are no dull moments in here people. None. It's intense from the very beginning. I love Alex. Despite all the horrible things she's been through, she can still laugh and be snarky. She's strong and courageous. She doesn't back down from a fight (even when she should). She doesn't understand the decisions of those around her or what they're keeping from her.
