ARC Apollyon

Apollyon- Jennifer Armentrout

First, let me say, if you haven't read Elixir, you should read that first.

I was one of the lucky few to receive an ARC! Thank you so much Spencer Hill! And as an avid reader of the covenant series, I was sure I would be impressed with this next book and Jenn didn't disappoint!

It was jaw- droppingly, heart- stoppingly, book- grippingly amazing. Like woah! My mind is still blown. Imagine the awesomeness of Half-Blood, Pure, Deity, and Elixir COMBINED.

Yea. It's that good.

There were time where I'd be reading and think, "Man, this so can't get any crazier." And then... BAM!! It'd get crazier. Apollyon is officially the best book of the series. Hands down. So much background information is uncovered, that my eyes practically popped out of my head.

Not only was it beautifully written with practically poetic descriptions like, "his eyes were pools of silver," and "The enormity of what lay ahead was a cold draft on my skin and deeper, on my soul," but it had even more of Jenn's marvelous humor with, "Yeppers Peppers", "creeptastic" and my personal favorite, "that little punk-ass bitch". Not to mention all the wonderful, totally agreeable, Supernatural references.

Alex shows the most character growth. I felt like in Apollyon, I could connect with her more. I fell with her weaknesses and rose with her strengths. Marcus also makes a change. And as always, Apollo needs a freaking bell! Aiden was absolutely my favorite character in this book. He was heart skippingly magnificent.

"Lowering his head, his lips brushed over mine. I was sure I tasted of dirt and sour apple, courtesy of the Blow Pop I'd been nursing earlier,but he

made this sound against my mouth, part growl and part something deeper. As the kiss deepened, like he could just devour the taste and feel, I melted against him."

Think its hot now? Yea, it gets steamier. :)

Through this book, I found myself on a journey, laughing and crying, ooo-ing and awe-ing with the characters. If you don't read this, you've clearly got no soul.

Now, excuse me, while I wither away waiting for Sentinel.

Peace and Love,
Lyssa, aka Fire

P.S. I'm totally naming my next dog, "Toto". :)

Opal

 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

 This was my first thought at the end of this book. My eyes bugged out, my mouth dropped wide open, my hands clenched my book in a death grip. 

 To say that it was a cliffhanger would be a major understatement. I have been left in awe of Jenn Armentrout as usual. Her ability to pull me into her story world of hot alien boys and mutated human girls, still sways me even after three books. Probably because she's good like that. 

 But GOD! I don't think I can wait for the next book! 

 Opal essentially begins where Onyx left off, there's tension between good friends, mistrust amongst themselves and generally a seemingly hopeless plan for normality. But NO, Daedalus is NOT finished with them, are they? Nope, not at all. Those backstabbing a-holes have dirty scheming plans up there sleeves, and at the end, the apprehension of it all was stuck in my chest. 

 To all those Daemon and Katy fans, there's too many heart stopping and blood heating moments to count. 

 “When his lips met mine, a thousand emotions erupted in me. His taste was delicious and addictive. I pressed against him, our kisses deepening until I was swimming in heady sensations that beat against every pore in my body. Everywhere we touched my skin came alive. His lips trailed a fiery path from mine to the column of my throat. All around us, his light flickered, like a thousand stars lining the walls, fading in and out.” 

 But don't take my word for it- take Daemon's: 

 “My lips change lives, baby.” 

 Yes, Daemon, I'm sure they do. 

 Among all the steamy kisses and witty banter, I noticed a lot of character development. We see a new side of Daemon as well, a softer side. And a different side of Katy; gone is the girl who will be the bystander, this girl will fight for what she believes in. 

  Opal didn't leave me feeling whole at the end, but instead lit my nerves on fire and has set me waiting anxiously for the next book, Origin. However, to not read Opal would put you seriously out of the loop! 

So read it, grind your teeth, and join the rest of us Daemon fans in the wait for Origin ;) 

 Kisses, 

Apollyon
