counting the days #2: Deity by Jennifer L. Armentrout

GoodReads Summary:

""History is on repeat, and things didn't go so well the last time. "

Alexandria isn't sure she's going to make it to her eighteenth birthday--to her Awakening. A long-forgotten, fanatical order is out to kill her, and if the Council ever discovers what she did in the Catskills, she's a goner... and so is Aiden. 

If that's not freaky enough, whenever Alex and Seth spend time "training"--which really is just Seth's code word for some up-close and personal one-on-one time--she ends up with another mark of the Apollyon, which brings her one step closer to Awakening ahead of schedule. Awesome. 


But as her birthday draws near, her entire world shatters with a startling revelation and she's caught between love and Fate. One will do anything to protect her. One has been lying to her since the beginning. Once the gods have revealed themselves, unleashing their wrath, lives will be irrevocably changed... and destroyed. 

Those left standing will discover if love is truly greater than Fate..."


Deity is the third book in the series (and a there's a prequel too and some in-between stuff on the author's website), and I started this series about a month ago. I literally inhaled the first two books!! (and the prequel). I LOVE the whole Greek Mythology thing (Percy Jackson fans anyone?) and the books are so well written they keep you wanting more. Plus Aiden is a total cutey, and can take down those Daimons like it's no buddy's business.  Worst part is they all end in cliff hangers!! I was so happy I could finish the first and pick up the sequel but it's so much worse waiting for the third! (Am I the only one with a need for a better name that 'third in the series' how about the triquel?) Especially the way the last one left off... So yes, big baby that I am, I'm sitting here complaining about waiting when I only have a few days left. Well technically it comes out November 6th this year so that's..... a grand total of 10 days. But you have to understand when I love a book or series I can so weak and defenseless against time. What makes it worse? This~


And all GoodReads can tell me is:

"Aiden St. Delphi will do anything to save Alex. 
Even if it means doing the one thing he will never forgive himself for. 
Even if it means making war against the gods."

So we know it's in Aiden's POV, and it's the Novella between the third and last book! OH MY HUFFLEPUFF! And it's only a month away!! So in the next 10-15 days(counting how long it'll actually take me to get the book) I'll be waiting to read Deity only to be shocked still on the edge of my seat knowing it's going to have to come to an end sooner or later and I'll have more days to wait for Elixir!! ALL THE HOURS! I mean, waiting is seriously my weakness, I had to buy the UK version of the last Demon Trappers book. (Which by the way is a kick butt awesome series by Jana Oliver). I mean that's kinda totally unfair though publishing companies for putting out the book in another country like 5 months earlier. 

Anyways I'll quit on my rant because we all know, the only reason anyone clicked on this post was to see the pretty flower cover. I shall leave you to "ooohh" and "ahhhh" in peace.
