I truly do not trust Seth completely, the other apollyon. For instance, Alex has two guys pining after her, and I can’t help but to be obsessed with who she will end up with. You can’t create a fanbase by writing characters that people could care less about, you have to pull strong emotions from the reader and make them CARE what happens to everyone-good or bad. Each character has a certain mannerism you can’t help but to love or hate, making a strong connection to what happens to them. What makes the Covenant series so appealing is the characters. I become trapped in this other world where reality is skewed and I don’t want to find a way out-I’m perfectly content in my dream state of mind. I replay all my favorite scenes and even those that are just perilous with high tension. I sit and think about the story and what’s next for each character and how it might turn out. When I put her books down, I don’t really “put them down”.

There is just something so funny about her books and you can’t help but label them your favorites. I was again enthralled with the story and couldn’t tear myself away from Jennifer’s flawless writing and quirky characters. I really enjoyed getting to know the characters a little more and learning what makes them tick. When the gods are involved, some decisions can never, ever be undone. 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.

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. Or what he will do-and sacrifice-for her. 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. Seth’s in her training room, outside her classes, and keeps showing up in her bedroom-so not cool. Being destined to become some kind of supernatural electrical outlet isn’t exactly awesome-especially when Alexandria’s 'other half' is everywhere she goes.
