by Jennifer L. Armentrout (Goodreads Author)
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...
WELL...There were things that sucked daimon butt,
and there were things that kicked daimon butt.
Everything I was dreading would happen,
happened, but the romance aside,
Deity was awesome.
There's the same humor, action, && sexiness in Deity
that we're accustomed to in all Jenn's books
Always entertaining && hard to put down.
Even when things are happening
that just rip you apart.
SPOILERS!

Alex chose Aiden. I knew it would happen. (so I made this gif)
(I'm not sure if Alex will ever feel THAT way with him but I hope she does forget how good he can be) We all knew it would happen. I can't say I was shocked. I expected it to happen just like it happened. Something drastic had to happen to Alex (her death) for him to break free of the rules and admit his feelings and finally be with her. Totally predicted that. I can't say that I hate him. SHOCKER! I found respect for him in Deity. He stopped with the pushing and pulling and all the games and just manned up. That's all I was waiting for. His love for Alex is obvious and genuine. I always thought he was boring but seeing how he lightened up with Alex, I actually liked that, that he could be funny. I know the perfect song for them. Treacherous - Taylor Swift. So, I'm not mad that she's with him, I'm just disappointed in the path Seth's character has taken. His character always lightened up situations and that's what I loved about him. He was...
He was the fun in all the drama that was Alex's life and now the positions are reversed and he's the drama. WHAT THE HELL!? Turns out he had nefarious plans, lies, and betrayal burning up his whole relationship with Alex. I actually kind of like the evil bad boy thing as long as his feelings are genuine when it comes to the girl but with Seth, it's kind of hard to tell. He's so cocky and egotistical with all this extra energy flowing through him and changing him. He takes everything someone says and does as a challenge. This wasn't the Seth we were introduced to and I feel betrayed every bit as much as Alex does. I had hope just like she did. I mean, he has to care for her, that all couldn't have been faked. Could it? I saw his care for her behind his actions. I know that's just gotta be the Apollyon power and his pain of what he went through in life and probably the fact that he isn't a star of Alex's affections, not him - the real him. Gods, I have so much hope for him still. I hope he doesn't trash that. I hope he doesn't push Alex to do awful things. I hope he pulls through, out of the insanity. I hope he doesn't die. I hope he can at least be a friend to Alex in the end. I just wish that Alex would figure out how to take power from him already. She's done it before when she blew up that rock. She knows she can do it and Artemis mentioned it. I just want to give her a big DUH. She should have figured that out a long time ago and maybe prevented things from happening. She never even tried to really use her powers though. Ugh. So frustrating.
Anyway, I like the whole dying and going to the Underworld part. It was closure with Caleb. She needed that. I was hoping she would get to see her mom. Where the heck is her dad though? He up and disappeared without a trace. Just wondering when we'll get to meet him. The clerk in the store cracked me up, along with Apollo. He likes to freak them out by poofing in and out with his godly eyes. He's so awesome. Deacon and Luke, so sweet! LOL As always there are plenty sarcastic and funny remarks to keep you rolling.
Oh goodness, I cant even think anymore. I'm just so drained from all this.
