Sentinel by Jennifer L Armentrout

IT'S THE LAST ONE WHAT I AM GOING TO DO NOW NO MORE ALEX. NO. MORE. AIDEN.
 
 
Blurb:
It's a beautiful day for a war.

As the mortal world slowly slips into chaos of the godly kind, Alexandria Andros must overcome a stunning defeat that has left her shaken and in doubt of their ability to end this war once and for all.

And with all the obstacles between Alex and her happily-ever-after with the swoonworthy Aiden St. Delphi, they must now trust a deadly foe as they travel deep into the Underworld to release one of the most dangerous gods of all time.

In the stunning, action-packed climax to the bestselling Covenant series, Alex must face a terrible choice: the destruction of everything and everyone she holds dear… or the end of herself.
 
Thoughts:
Swoon worthy indeed. I have waited SO long for this book to come out and once again it did not disappoint. I have to say it took me a while to actually get around to reading it because I knew that I'd get emotional. Then again, I always am when it comes to series ending. I always want more. Obviously I am not going to give away anything because there is nothing more I hate then spoliers but gods will you cry. It's so sad at parts. And I have to say the ending page fucked with my brain.

Trust in Me by Jennifer L Armentrout


THIS WAS SO AMAZING. THANK YOU JENNIFER L. ARMENTROUT FOR GETTING ME BACK INTO READING.
 
 
Blurb:
 
Cameron Hamilton is used to getting what he wants, especially when it comes to women. But when Avery Morgansten comes crashing into his life – literally – he finally meets the one person who can resist his soulful baby blues. But Cam’s not ready to give up. He can’t get the feisty and intriguing girl out of his head.

Avery has secrets, secrets that keep her from admitting the feelings Cam knows she has for him. Will persistence (and some delicious homemade cookies) help him break down her barriers and gain her trust? Or will he be shut out of Avery's life, losing his first real shot at the kind of love that lasts forever?
 
Thoughts:
 
Okay, so reading this book in Avery's POV made me fangirl enough but reading it in Cam's POV... there are no words. I've always had a thing for reading books I've read written in a guy's POV but holy hell did this blow all my expectations out of the water. Seeing it all in Cam's view was my undoing. Damn did I cry like a baby.
 
Everything about this was so brilliantly thought out and she got Cam so right and even really stalkerish. You can tell from the moment he falls in love with Avery and I just knew how it would impact him. Cam's thoughts were just so... so him. Everything was perfect. God when it was coming up to the last major fight; and when he saw (not gonna say spoilers) I was bracing myself for it.
 
It was just so amazing I could not flaw it.

Origin by Jennifer L Armentrout

SWEET EVIL REFERENCE! ABORT ABORT! THIS IS NOT OKAY.

So Origin finally came out after months of pain and torture over the fact that Kat and Daemon were separated. And was all over that book like chocolate sauce on vanilla ice-cream. Read it in a day of course. 

Cover:

Okay so one: holy alien babies in the manger he is HOT with a capital everything. The way he looks reading to destroy absolutely anything and everything; he is a boy you don't want to mess with and you can read it in his every cell. And full marks for the open shirt that seals the deal (just saying).

Blurb:

Daemon will do anything to get Katy back.

After the successful but disastrous raid on Mount Weather, he’s facing the impossible. Katy is gone. Taken. Everything becomes about finding her. Taking out anyone who stands in his way? Done. Burning down the whole world to save her? Gladly. Exposing his alien race to the world? With pleasure.

All Katy can do is survive.

Surrounded by enemies, the only way she can come out of this is to adapt. After all, there are sides of Daedalus that don’t seem entirely crazy, but the group’s goals are frightening and the truths they speak even more disturbing. Who are the real bad guys? Daedalus? Mankind? Or the Luxen?

Together, they can face anything. 

But the most dangerous foe has been there all along, and when the truths are exposed and the lies come crumbling down, which side will Daemon and Katy be standing on? 

And will they even be together?

Thoughts:

Okay, so first of all: the Sweet Evil reference. I SCREAMED AND THEN LAUGHED AND THEN CRIED A BIT INSIDE. Well done on that it was the best thing ever. Seriously. 

Now down to business. 

This book was amazing. The character development you see in  Daemon gave me feels all on it's own. He so in love with Katy and now he is no longer afraid to show it. With everything that's crashing down around them you'd think that their relationship would be doomed but they make it work. And then you have the fact that Kat is finally trusting him. Finally. They find a way to love through all the craziness happening. And it's the sweetest thing ever. Their banter and seriousness. The secret bathroom visits. No matter what they come first to each other. 

Now, in this book everything starts coming together. The plan is finally clear. The only thing not decided is who they'll stand with. And damn this book has a plot twist that I wouldn't have even considered the possibility of. Guys you are honestly in for a treat with this book. I loved everything about it and couldn't fault it. Truly amazing.

Best one in the series. But they are all pretty close.

Sins of the Night by Sherrilyn Kenyon

The book was really different but I still love it.

Blurb:

In the realm of the Dark-Hunters there is a code of honor that even immortal bad boys must follow:

Harm no human. Drink no blood. Never fall in love.
But every now and again a Dark-Hunter thinks himself above the Code. That's when I'm summoned. Who am I? I'm the one thing the fearless fear. Step over the line and it's my wrath you will face. Nothing can touch me. Nothing can sway me. I am relentless and unfeeling.

Or so I thought until I met a female Dark-Hunter who goes by the name of Danger-it's not just her name, it's how she lives her life. She doesn't trust me at all. And who could blame her? She alone knows that I'm here to be judge, jury and most likely executioner of her friends. Yet she is my key to saving some of them. Without her, they all will die.

Dangereuse St. Richard is a deadly distraction. Something about her is reawakening a heart I thought was long dead. But in a race against evil, the only hope mankind has is that I do my duty. And how can I do my duty when it means that I will have to sacrifice the only woman I've ever loved?

Thoughts:

Having a girl dark hunter was awesome; let me tell you she kicks but like nobody's business. I love how all of these books are becoming to connect closer now and I think it is building up to the 15th book Acheron. Hopefully, that book will explain a lot of stuff. Because Ash is so secretive it would be really interesting to see what else he could possibly be hiding *cough* Stryker *cough*. What... who said that?

But this book isn't about Ash it's about someone pretty closer to him. As in someone who works for him. Yes I am talking about the sexy, amazing Alexion. Now he has been through hell and back; actually it sounds so must worse. In this book we get to know all about how being a Shade is and damn I'd rather be locked in a room with Hades, on a grumpy day, when Persephone hasn't been back in a while again and all I can say is smart-ass comments.

What up future book reference? No mum, totally didn't sneak some sort of spoiler into it....

And Danger... wow girl. I love her. It truly makes these books completely fair. Like hey; girls can kick ass too. Having her put into action I love. I seriously hope we get to see her again. We probably will in Ash's book.

Again with his book. I need to get my read on.

Seize the Night by Sherrilyn Kenyon

OMG THIS BOOK WAS SO AMAZING ASDFGHJKL;

Blurb:

Valerius isn't a popular Dark-Hunter ― he's a Roman, which means that the largely Greek Hunters have a major grudge against him and his civilization for superceding them. To make things worse, he's very conscious of his aristocratic background and breeding. So it serves him right when he runs into Tabitha Devereaux. She's sassy, sexy, and completely unwilling to take him seriously. (Not to mention that she's the twin sister of the wife of former Dark-Hunter Kyrian ― Val's mortal enemy.)

What Tabitha does take seriously is hunting and killing vampires ― and soon she and Val have to grapple with the deadliest of all Daimons ― one who's managed to come back from the dead, and one who holds a serious grudge against both of them.

To win against evil, Val will have to loosen up, learn to trust, and put everything on the line to protect a man he hates and a woman who drives him nuts.


Thoughts:

Okay, I hated Valerius and everything he stood for before but dammmnnnn does your mind change in this book. He is such a misunderstood character and I just feel so sorry for him; just like what happened with Zarek.

What I love about this book is that basically all the characters introduced so far make an entry in it and nearly all of their lives are changed in such a massive way. The book is a major one for all of them. And I just love how they all come together.

Spoiler Alert:

Slow clap of brilliance for Bride and making him have God-like powers. The Nymph of Justice strikes again. Gotta love her.

Night Play by Sherrilyn Kenyon

I have no small comments about these books any more. I have explained the awesomeness that is this series. If that is not enough then I'm sorry. Don't hate me. Pwease.
 
Any whale.
 
Blurb:

Bride McTierney has had it with men. They're cheap, self-centered, and never love her for who she is. But though she prides herself on being independent, deep down she still yearns for a knight in shining armor.

She just never expected her knight in shining armor to have a shiny coat of fur...

Deadly and tortured, Vane Kattalakis isn't what he seems. Most women lament that their boyfriends are dogs. In Bride's case, hers is a wolf. A Were-Hunter wolf. Wanted dead by his enemies, Vane isn't looking for a mate. But the Fates have marked Bride as his. Now he has three weeks to either convince Bride that the supernatural is real or he will spend the rest of his life neutered--something no self-respecting wolf can accept...

But how does a wolf convince a human to trust him with her life when his enemies are out to end his? In the world of the Were-Hunters, it really is dog-eat-dog. And only one alpha male can win.

Thoughts:

Okay so this is the first time we are properly introduced to a were-hunter (it's in their POV). And dammmnnnnn I thought I loved Vane beforehand but seeing him look after Fang was in a coma and with Bride was something else. They work so well together and I just love it. Totally the best.

I'm not sure who I love more anymore... the Dark-Hunters or the Were-Hunters. Probably the DH mainly because the WH won't really fight Daimons and they deserve to die (mostly). Sorry Vane.

I really hope that we get to see Fang's story with the bear because I ship them SOOOOO hard.

Kiss of the Night by Sherrilyn Kenyon

Holy shizz do I love this book. 

Blurb:

Wulf is an ancient Viking warrior with a useful but extremely aggravating power—amnesia. No one who meets him in person can remember him 5 minutes later. It makes it easy to have one-night stands, but hard to have a meaningful relationship, and without true love he can never regain his soul.

When he finally meets Cassandra, the one woman who can remember him, she turns out to be the princess of the cursed race he's sworn to hunt—and forbidden to him. The two of them must face ancient curses, prophecies, and the direct meddling of the Greek gods to find true happiness at last.


Thoughts:

To be honest, these books keep getting better and better. The way Kenyon writes them, the humour and the way the characters mix together. The ideas and plots itself is amazing. Each book is quickly becoming my favourite and I have so much to thank Gabby for introducing these books. 

Wulf is one of my favourite DH even if he isn't technically a Dark-hunter. And how all the characters introduced to you so far come back for an epic showdown is amazing; the banter between them hilarious. It's scenes like the fight scene and the wedding scene that remind you just how amazing these books are. 
 Definitely one of my all time favourites.

Dance With The Devil by Sherrilyn Kenyon

I AM SO IN LOVE WITH SIMI. THIS ISN'T EVEN HER BOOK BUT I LOVE HER SO MUCH SHE SO CUTE I WANT HER TO BE MY DAUGHTER. 

Blurb:

Zarek's Point of View:

Dark-Hunter: A soulless guardian who stands between mankind and those who would see mankind destroyed. Yeah, right. The only part of that Code of Honor I got was eternity and solitude. 

Insanity: A condition many say I suffer from after being alone for so long. But I don't suffer from my insanity-I enjoy every minute of it. 

Trust: I can't trust anyone...not even myself. The only thing I trust in is my ability to do the wrong thing in any situation and to hurt anyone who gets in my way.

Truth: I endured a lifetime as a Roman slave, and 900 years as an exiled Dark-Hunter. Now I'm tired of enduring. I want the truth about what happened the night I was exiled-I have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Astrid (Greek, meaning star): An exceptional woman who can see straight to the truth. Brave and strong, she is a point of light in the darkness. She touches me and I tremble. She smiles and my cold heart shatters.

Zarek: They say even the most damned man can be forgiven. I never believed that until the night Astrid opened her door to me and made this feral beast want to be human again. Made me want to love and be loved. But how can an ex-slave whose soul is owned by a Greek goddess ever dream of touching, let alone holding, a fiery star.

Thoughts:

I HATED Zarek before this book. I hated everything he was and everything he stood for. But once you read this book you could never let yourself hate him. How much he suffers from the past, he's a worthless slave in his mind when, in reality, he means so much more than that. Astrid I loved instantly but she should have told him the truth sooner. Ash: I love. Simi I adore. 

Artemis is a bitch; as per usual. 

Gods can these books mess with your feels but I can't stop reading them.

Night Embrace by Sherrilyn Kenyon

How many different characters arE YOU TRYING TO MAKE ME FALL IN LOVE WITH.

Blurb:

Dear Reader,

Life is great for me. I have my chicory coffee, my warm beignets, and my best friend on the cell phone. Once the sun goes down, I am the baddest thing prowling the night: I command the elements, and I know no fear. For centuries, I've protected the innocent and watched over the mankind, making sure they are safe in a world where nothing is ever certain. All I want in return is a hot babe in a red dress, who wants nothing more from me then one night.

Instead, I get a runaway Mardi Gras float that tries to turn me into roadkill and a beautiful woman who saves my life but can't remember where she put my pants. Flamboyant and extravagant, Sunshine Runningwolf should be the perfect woman for me. She wants nothing past tonight, no ties, no long-term commitments.

But every time I look at her, I start yearning for dreams that I buried centuries ago. With her unconventional ways and ability to baffle me, Sunshine is the one person I find myself needing. But for me to love her would mean her death. I am cursed never to know peace or happiness— not so long as my enemy waits in the night to destroy us both.

—Talon of the Morrigantes

Thoughts:

I am so in love with Talon and his story of love with Sunshine. One of the reasons I love it is because it isn't one of those books in which the girl falls so helplessly in love with the guy that she'll do anything for him; Sunshine holds her own and I LOVE it. The twists in this literally blew my mind and the fact that the characters that appear in the first couple of books still show up really makes me smile because, even though she does it in the smallest way, Kenyon tells you how they are doing and carries on their story within these books even if they aren't from that characters POV. It's really awesome that that happens.

Okay... I have a secret.

First. I have not been reading as much as I should be. I am only 77 books into my hundred books in a year challenge and only have two months left. My deadline is the first of September. SO I will be trying my hardest to do this.

Second I write. Mmhm, I write my own books and poetry. Honestly; I hate my poetry. But the story I am writing now (The Breaking and The Broken) I seriously love. The story means a lot to me and I will be considering self-publishing it once I've finished writing it.

Third, Kat is my writing name. My real name is Conni.

Fourth, I'm fourteen and probably shouldn't be reading half the books I do (don't tell my parents they'd ban me from kindle).

That's all. :3
