Review: The Power (Titan #2) by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Title: The Power
Author: Jennifer L. Armentrout
Series: Titan #2

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Goodreads | Amazon | B&N | BookDepo

With any great change, there is always strife, and the Covenant University has become the frontline between pure-bloods who want the Breed Order reinstated and the half-bloods who want the right to control their own destinies.
Fate has other plans.
The violence is escalating and war between the races seems inevitable, and it couldn’t come at a worse time. Hyperion may be out of commission, but Josie and Seth know they have only earned a reprieve. Seth must get Josie fully prepared, which means controlling her newfound abilities, and they need to find the other demigods before the Titans do.
But the gods are sensing a greater threat.

Only one thing is more dangerous than a bunch of starved Titans, and that’s an out-of-control Apollyon. The aether in Josie is drawing Seth in deeper, and when lust mixes with love and gives way to power, he knows being close to her is not only dangerous to her, but to everyone around them, but letting her go requires a level of selflessness that just isn’t Seth’s style.
The paths taken in the past are becoming the roads of the future.
Just as chaos breaks out, familiar faces from the past return, complicating the already strained bond between Josie and Seth, and when the danger from the Titans erupts with devastating consequences, the dark allure of power calls to Seth again, but this time Josie might not be able to pull him back.
And when the struggle between power and love becomes the deadliest battleground, there may be no salvation.

Beware: You will be blown away!

Holy cow! I’m not sure how many book JLA is planning on releasing for this series but this is JUST the second one and I’m already blown away!

The power begins where The Rerun left off. Josie and Seth are enjoying their life and their relationship at the Covenant. Seth is still trying to help Josie control her new powers and at the same time defend herself. But, the more capable Josie becomes at controlling her powers, the more her aether bring out Seth’s dark side. What was once “simple” training for Seth, is now getting out of control. To top it all up, Alex is back and she is determined to help Josie and Seth find the rest demigods.

As if that wasn’t bad enough, the tension between pure-bloods and half-bloods at the Covenant is out of control and every day, brings new fights. The world may be getting out of hand, but Josie and Seth have their own mission and with a bit of divine help, they are once again back on the road, which brings out the ultimate danger, the Titans.

The power was abso-f*cking-lutely addictive. There was non-stop action from the beginning till the very end. It was funny and above everything, it was insanely HOT! I’m not sure this book should be considered a YA because Seth + relationship = HOT+ HOTNESS + SCORTCHING HOTNESS! I really missed the covenant world and I’m really glad The Power reminds us why it’s an awesome world to live in (well, not right now with the rising tension and violence but generally speaking)

The end was MIND BLOWING and I really can’t wait for more! #NeedMoreSeth

Review: The Problem with Forever by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Title: The Problem with Forever
Author: Jennifer L. Armentrout
Series: None

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Goodreads | Amazon | B&N | BookDepo

For some people, silence is a weapon. For Mallory “Mouse” Dodge, it’s a shield. Growing up, she learned that the best way to survive was to say nothing. And even though it’s been four years since her nightmare ended, she’s beginning to worry that the fear that holds her back will last a lifetime.Now, after years of homeschooling with loving adoptive parents, Mallory must face a new milestone—spending her senior year at public high school. But of all the terrifying and exhilarating scenarios she’s imagined, there’s one she never dreamed of—that she’d run into Rider Stark, the friend and protector she hasn’t seen since childhood, on her very first day. It doesn’t take long for Mallory to realize that the connection she shared with Rider never really faded. Yet the deeper their bond grows, the more it becomes apparent that she’s not the only one grappling with the lingering scars from the past. And as she watches Rider’s life spiral out of control, Mallory faces a choice between staying silent and speaking out—for the people she loves, the life she wants, and the truths that need to be heard.

Holy cow! This one was a tear-jerker!

Is this a standalone? I hope not (please make it a series!!!) I seriously need more!

It is not often you read something so beautifully touching! I’m fully aware that this won’t be the case for everyone but it was for me. The last book that made me feel this way was the Paper Swan by Leylah Attar and it really changed the way I see things! The problem with forever had the impact as the paper swan to me.

Mallory Dodge, aka Mouse, hasn’t had it easy. Growing up, every day was a new fight to stay alive but she always had Rider to keep her safe and take care of her, they always had each other until circumstances separated them. Now, years later, life has brought them together once again. As much as it thrills them to be together again it also brings back the demons of their past. Has Rider found Mallory only to lose her again?

This is not a YA romance (okay it is!) but it also so much more! It is a story about life and promises and love and the huge problem with the idea of forever. This is one of those books where the title makes sense at some point in the book and I know some people love these kind of books, so that’s another great thing about the book! Mallory and Rider were two inspiring characters that go through a lot but when they are with each other they realize that life is a promise and forever is just a new tomorrow!

I really need more books, need to know more. This surely cannot be the end! I have so many questions and then what about Hector and Ainsley? I refuse to believe this is the end. I’ll patiently wait for news about more books…

Review: Every Last Breath (The Dark Elements #3) by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Title: Every Last Breath
Author: Jennifer L. Armentrout
Series: The Dark Elements #3

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Goodreads | Amazon | B&N | BookDepo

Some loves will last ’til your dying breath
Every choice has consequences—but seventeen-year-old Layla faces tougher choices than most. Light or darkness. Wickedly sexy demon prince Roth, or Zayne, the gorgeous, protective Warden she never thought could be hers. Hardest of all, Layla has to decide which side of herself to trust.
Layla has a new problem, too. A Lilin—the deadliest of demons—has been unleashed, wreaking havoc on those around her…including her best friend. To keep Sam from a fate much, much worse than death, Layla must strike a deal with the enemy while saving her city—and her race—from destruction.
Torn between two worlds and two different boys, Layla has no certainties, least of all survival, especially when an old bargain comes back to haunt them all. But sometimes, when secrets are everywhere and the truth seems unknowable, you have to listen to your heart, pick a side—and then fight like hell…

Wow!

I have no words. This is the third and last book in the Dark Elements series and it’s mind blowing.

The time has come for Layla to choose who she wants to be with. Thankfully for Roth and Zayne (and of course us) Layla gets to choose early on. I was so glad she chose the one she did. I was actually surprised that the love triangle was resolved this early in the book but it did work great since we got to see more of the couple.

The danger is real and the stakes are higher than ever. The Lilin is running around town and now that the secret is out, the Lilin has nowhere to go and hide. Layla realizes that it’s her responsibility to act. She must find the Lilin and kill it before the Alphas decide to take matters into their hands.

Every last breath was AMAZING! It started exactly where Stone Cold Touch left off, where the identity of the Lilin is revealed. In this book the action takes off. From the first page till the end the book was nonstop action, suspense, surprises, humor and overall emotional.

As every J.L.A. book, Every Last Breath has a huge, major plot twist that broke my heart. I can’t believe that Layla had to make such a decision. It was really heartbreaking but it was also necessary. I loved that about this book. Everything happened for a reason.

What I didn’t really expect was the romance aspect but I really loved it. Before reading the book I thought we would get nonstop action, which we do and that the love triangle would be resolved just before the end. Surprisingly, the love triangle was resolved almost from the very beginning. So we got to see more of Layla and her chosen one. Squee!!!

Every last breath was the perfect balanced ending to the Dark Elements series. We got to see almost every paranormal creature there is from gargoyles to angels and witches. Despite the choice Layla makes we get to see both Roth and Zayne and of course their familiars. I loved them so much.

I can’t wait to read J.L.A. new book, The Problem with Forever.

Highly recommended!

Review: Scorched (Frigid #2) by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Title: Scorched
Author: Jennifer L. Armentrout
Series: Frigid #2

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Goodreads | Amazon | B&N | BookDepo

Sometimes life leaves a mark…
Most days, Andrea doesn’t know whether she wants to kiss Tanner or punch him in the gut. He is seriously hot, with legit bedroom eyes and that firefighter body of his, but he’s a major player, and they can’t get along for more than a handful of minutes. Until now.
Tanner knows he and Andrea have had an epic love/hate relationship for as long as he can remember, but he wants more love than hate from her. He wants her. Now. Tomorrow. But the more he gets to know her, the more it becomes obvious that Andrea has a problem. She’s teetering on the edge and every time he tries to catch her, she slips through his fingers.
Andrea’s life is spiraling out of control, and it doesn’t matter that Tanner wants to save her, because when everything falls apart and she’s speeding toward rock bottom, only she can save herself.
Sometimes life makes you work for that happily ever after…

I’m a huge JLA fan so when I found out that Frigid, Kyler and Syd’s story, was getting a sequel I was over the moon.

Tanner is seriously hot but a major player. Currently helping out in the firefighter station and planning on becoming a police man, Tanner has his future sorted out. The only thing that he can’t figure out is the redhead little devil that won’t stop challenging him.

Andrea is in desperate need of help but she doesn’t know it. How? She has convinced herself that she’s a normal girl who sometimes has too much in her plate, too much to drink, too many sleeping pills, too many issues. Her life is getting out of control and she’s barely holding on.

When Kyler and Syd persuade them to take a trip to a cabin in the mountains, Tanner and Andrea will finally get to know each other. There were really so many things they didn’t know about each other. Truth be told, I too judged Andrea in the beginning but the more I learned about her the more I liked her. One would never see someone like Andrea and assume that something is wrong but I guess we shouldn’t judge other when we know nothing about them.

Tanner and Andrea had the enemies to lovers type of relationship and that means epic chemistry! They were such an amazing couple. I loved the way Tanner was always there for her even when it was too late to help he was still there. There are actually many things I loved about the book: firstly, the cover is incredible, we have an imperfect heroine who struggles with her life and I loved that in the end it was Andrea who saved herself and not someone else e.g. Tanner. Of course she had the help of her family, Tanner and her friends.

Scorched has a bit of everything going on. It was emotional and dealt with a serious subject matter but it was also funny at times and it has a great romance or two (there were a couple of scenes with Kyler and Syd). I’m so glad that we got to see them all.

Although, Scorched is the sequel to Frigid, it can be read as a standalone but I highly recommend reading Frigid too. You won’t be disappointed.

Totally recommended!

Official Description To Come…

Amazon | Barnes and Noble | iBooks | Booksamillion

The Fates are cackling their bony asses off... It's been a year since Seth made the deal with the gods that pledged his life to them. And so far, the jobs they've given him have been violent and bloody--which is kind of all right with him. But now Apollo has something else in mind for Seth. He's got to play protector while keeping his hands and fingers off, and for someone who really has a problem with restraint, this new assignment might be the most challenging yet.

Josie has no idea what this crazy hot guy's deal might be, but it's a good bet that his arrival means the new life she started after leaving home is about to be thrown into an Olympian-sized blender turned up to puree. Either Josie is going insane or a nightmare straight out of ancient myth is gunning for her. But it might be the unlikely attraction simmering between her and the golden-eyed, secret-keeping Seth that may prove to be the most dangerous thing of all. Because history has once again been flipped to repeat.

Review: Fall with Me (Wait for You #4) by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Title: Fall with Me
Author: Jennifer L. Armentrout
Series: Wait for You #4

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Goodreads | Amazon | B&N | BookDepo

Eleven months ago, bartender and weird-shirt-wearing extraordinaire Roxy and Officer Reece Anders had a one night stand. Well, kind of. She’s been in love with him since she was fifteen, and he wishes that night they shared never happened. She’s sworn him off forever, but the past and future collide, forcing her to rely on the one man who broke her heart not once, but twice.
Her best friend since birth has been in a long-term care facility since he became a victim of a hate crime years ago, and the person who put him in there is out of prison and wanting to make amends with him and Roxy. She’s not sure she has room for forgiveness in her and when she begins to receive frightening messages and is on the receiving end of escalating violence, she thinks she knows who is to blame. The man who already destroyed one life already.
But Reece isn’t convinced. The threats are too personal, and even if Roxy doesn’t believe him, he’s not willing to let anyone hurt her. Including himself. He’s already messed up more than once when it comes to Roxy and he’s not going to let history repeat itself.

That was just wow!

The 4th book in the Wait for you series tells the story of Roxy and Reese. We have met and loved both of them in the previous book, Stay with me (Calla and Jax’s story).

This was totally different from the other books in the series. A bit creepy/scary if you must but I loved it!

We have all wondered why Roxy was avoiding Reece, well the cat is out of the bag!

Roxy has been in love with Reece since she was 15 but knew that someone like him would never go for a girl like her. After a tragic accident changes her whole world she decides to stay away from him and concentrate on her future. Until a night changes everything. About eleven months ago Roxy and Reece had a “one-night” stand and when Reece made it clear that it was a mistake, Roxy did everything to stay away from him or just avoid him.

When strange things begin to occur to her house and Roxy suddenly feels threatened by the man who ruined her best friend’s life, Roxy needs Reece’s help. Reece may not remember what happened that night eleven months ago, he may wish it hadn’t happened but he knows that he will do everything to protect Roxy.

I love so much Jennifer Armentrout and her books! Fall with me was super incredible not only because of the cover but because for once the two main characters had feelings for each other since they were very young. Roxy was such a tormented character. She felt guilty for what had happened to her friend and all the while both her family and Reece were trying to convince her that it was an accident. I felt sorry for her and I was hoping she forgave herself. Reece was just amazing, always so patient, strong, determined. He brought out the best in Roxy. He tried to convince her to follow her dreams, to continue painting, to forgive herself.

Fall with me was very different from the other books in the series. Firstly, it was a bit creepy. Roxy thought that her house was haunted, that there was a ghost living with her but in reality there wasn’t a ghost but something even worse. There was a lot of suspense and action and of course the romance! The pages were on fire by these two. There was also a bittersweet end, which was a first for the series, but not for the reason you think.

Roxy and Reece’s journey was filled with twists, a challenging path but it was a path full of hope and that was what made it beautiful.

I highly recommend it!

One kiss could be the last. Seventeen-year-old Layla just wants to be normal. But with a kiss that kills anything with a soul, she's anything but normal. Half demon, half gargoyle, Layla has abilities no one else possesses. Raised among the Wardens—a race of gargoyles tasked with hunting demons and keeping humanity safe—Layla tries to fit in, but that means hiding her own dark side from those she loves the most. Especially Zayne, the swoon-worthy, incredibly gorgeous and completely off-limits Warden she's crushed on since forever.

Then she meets Roth—a tattooed, sinfully hot demon who claims to know all her secrets. Layla knows she should stay away, but she's not sure she wants to—especially when that whole no-kissing thing isn't an issue, considering Roth has no soul. But when Layla discovers she's the reason for the violent demon uprising, trusting Roth could not only ruin her chances with Zayne…it could brand her a traitor to her family. Worse yet, it could become a one-way ticket to the end of the world.

Every touch has its price Layla Shaw is trying to pick up the pieces of her shattered life—no easy task for a seventeen-year-old who’s pretty sure things can’t get worse. Her impossibly gorgeous best friend, Zayne, is forever off-limits thanks to the mysterious powers of her soul-stealing kiss. The Warden clan that has always protected her is suddenly keeping dangerous secrets.

And she can barely think about Roth, the wickedly hot demon prince who understood her in ways no one else could. But sometimes rock bottom is only the beginning. Because suddenly Layla’s powers begin to evolve, and she’s offered a tantalizing taste of what has always been forbidden. Then, when she least expects it, Roth returns, bringing news that could change her world forever. She’s finally getting what she always wanted, but with hell literally breaking loose and the body count adding up, the price may be higher than Layla is willing to pay…

"Constantly entertaining...the narrative sizzles with as much tension as romance." —Kirkus Reviews on White Hot Kiss

And the Prequel Novella, BITTER SWEET LOVE...

Amazon | Barnes and Noble | iBooks | BAM | Kobo

  In a sizzling prequel novella to her new series The Dark Elements, #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout draws readers into the extraordinary, irresistible world of Wardens and demons.

Dez wasn't just Jasmine's crush. A gargoyle Warden like Jas, he helped her come to terms with her destiny—fending off demons and maintaining the balance between good and evil. He was her everything…right until the moment he disappeared without a trace. It didn't help that Jas's father had just announced that she and Dez would one day be mated. Hard not to take that personally. And now he's back, three years older, ten times hotter, ready to pick up exactly where they left off. But Jas isn't taking that risk again. Dez has seven days to meet all her conditions and earn back her trust. Seven days filled with terrifying danger and sweet temptation. Seven days to win her heart—or shatter it all over again… "

With her signature flare for combining humor, romance and action, Armentrout weaves a fast-paced read that will have readers' hearts racing in more ways than one. Like Armentrout's previous heroines, Jasmine is fun and full of attitude, while Dez is as snarky as he is sexy. This is a must read for new and old fans alike!" -RT Book Reviews   Jennifer L.

Goodreads

Eleven months ago, bartender and weird-shirt-wearing extraordinaire Roxy and Officer Reece Anders had a one night stand. Well, kind of. She’s been in love with him since she was fifteen, and he wishes that night they shared never happened. She’s sworn him off forever, but the past and future collide, forcing her to rely on the one man who broke her heart not once, but twice.
Her best friend since birth has been in a long-term care facility since he became a victim of a hate crime years ago, and the person who put him in there is out of prison and wanting to make amends with him and Roxy. She’s not sure she has room for forgiveness in her and when she begins to receive frightening messages and is on the receiving end of escalating violence, she thinks she knows who is to blame. The man who already destroyed one life already.
But Reece isn’t convinced. The threats are too personal, and even if Roxy doesn’t believe him, he’s not willing to let anyone hurt her. Including himself. He’s already messed up more than once when it comes to Roxy and he’s not going to let history repeat itself.

Review: Wicked (A Wicked Saga #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Title: Wicked
Author: Jennifer L. Armentrout
Series: A Wicked Saga #1

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Goodreads | Amazon | B&N | BookDepo

Things are about to get Wicked in New Orleans.
Twenty-two year old Ivy Morgan isn’t your average college student. She, and others like her, know humans aren’t the only thing trolling the French Quarter for fun… and for food. Her duty to the Order is her life. After all, four years ago, she lost everything at the hands of the creatures she’d sworn to hunt, tearing her world and her heart apart.
Ren Owens is the last person Ivy expected to enter her rigidly controlled life. He’s six feet and three inches of temptation and swoon-inducing charm. With forest-green eyes and a smile that’s surely left a stream of broken hearts in its wake, he has an uncanny, almost unnatural ability to make her yearn for everything he has to offer. But letting him in is as dangerous as hunting the cold-blooded killers stalking the streets. Losing the boy she loved once before had nearly destroyed her, but the sparking tension that grows between them becomes impossible for Ivy to deny. Deep down, she wants… she needs more than what her duty demands of her, what her past has shaped for her.
But as Ivy grows closer to Ren, she realizes she’s not the only one carrying secrets that could shatter the frail bond between them. There’s something he’s not telling her, and one thing is for certain. She’s no longer sure what is more dangerous to her—the ancient beings threatening to take over the town or the man demanding to lay claim to her heart and her soul.

Another 5 stars for J. Armentrout.

I was surprised when I first found out that J.A. was writing a whole new series. I loved the title, I loved the cover, I loved the blurb and I was blown away by the book.

Ivy and Ren were two incredible and strong main characters. Although, the book is about Ivy, Ren gets his own story as well. They are both well developed and realistic characters with rough pasts.

Ivy has lost everyone that ever mattered in her life. First her parents, then her adoptive parents and her first love. It’s for that reason that Ivy prefers her own company than that of her few friends. When a new member of the order moves into town, Ivy does her best to keep a distance. Little does she know that Ren can be very persistent!

I loved everything about this book. Ren, Ivy, Tink! Everyone! I call dibs on Tink though! I have to admit that I was surprised by him because I expected him to be a female. I loved him even better as a male. He was in a way what Bambi is for the Dark Element series (and let me tell you, I love that series). His relationship with Ivy, was a complicated one but they both cared for each other. Ren, knew what he wanted from the first time he met Ivy, he was infatuated with her. Ren thought he knew everything there was to know about Ivy’s life but in the end he was wrong about her.

Ren and Ivy’s relationship was sizzling hot, their chemistry, exploding and there were even some double hot sexy scenes.

I don’t usually read fae books but I knew I had to read this one. I’m head over heels in love with Armentrout’s books and this one was no exception. I couldn’t read the book fast enough. A page turner full of action, suspense, romance, humor and an unexpected end. Ren, Ivy and Tink will surely win you over and in the end break your heart.

I can’t wait to read Torn, Wicked’s sequel!!! I’m very curious to find out what Ivy’s future holds, love or death.

Highly recommended!

Excerpt:

All the words in the world vanished the moment I got an eyeful of Ren. Holy hotness with an extra side of sexy, when Ren cleaned up, he took his handsomeness into a totally different stratosphere. The waves and curls of his hair were currently tamed, styled back from his face, showing off the angle of his cheekbones and the fullness of his lips. 

He was wearing a white dress shirt that showed off the hard lines of his broad shoulders and flashed a glimpse of tawny skin at his neck. I noticed then, somehow never really seeing it before, a leather cord hanging from his neck and disappearing under his shirt. I was sure that was what carried the clover, but as my gaze traveled over him, I quickly forgot about it. 

The edges of the tattoo poked out of the collar of his shirt, and his sleeves were rolled up to the elbow, exposing powerful forearms. The dark trousers completed the outfit. It was effortless class. When I dragged my gaze back to his, I realized I hadn’t been the only one doing the scrutinizing. He was staring at me in his intense, consuming way, and I stepped back from the door, suddenly feeling very . . . vulnerable. As if I was exposed in front of him. 

 Heat crept into my cheeks as I plastered my arms to my sides. “Sorry I . . . took so long. I was . . .” I trailed off as he continued to stare at me. “What?” Ren stepped into the house, catching the door and closing it behind him. His presence filled the living room, and I could barely drag in enough air. “This is wrong,” he said, voice thick. Surprised by the statement, I glanced down at myself. I knew I looked like a silly girl playing dress up. “It’s the only dress I could wear,” I said, feeling the weight of embarrassment settling on my shoulders. 

 He gave a little shake of his head as his bright green eyes met mine. “Oh, sweetness, you did wrong in all the right ways.” I wasn’t following. “How in the world am I going to pay attention when you look like that?” he chided softly, and my eyes widened. 

He moved forward, so close that I had to tip my chin up to meet his stare. He reached out, fingering the loose sleeve of my dress. “You are utterly distracting.” “I am?” 

 A half smile appeared as his fingers skipped off the material and traced the line of my shoulder, sending a tight shiver down my spine. Then his finger wrapped around a curl, the back of his hand brushing the swell of my breast. He tugged it straight like he’d done before. 

“You are absolutely beautiful, Ivy.”
