"It was strange how the body could forget all these terrible things so quickly. Or maybe it was the soul that worked this way, seeking out warmth and touch, needing to prove that we were still in the world of living." ~ Pure
There is need. And then there is Fate...Being destined to become some kind of supernatural electrical outlet isn't exactly awesome--especially when Alexandria's "other half" is everywhere she goes. Seth's in her training room, outside her classes, and keeps showing up in her bedroom--so not cool. 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. Or what he will do--and sacrifice--for her.
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... and Alex. 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... or killing her.
When the gods are involved, some decisions can never, ever be undone.

I absolutly hate that I have to wait... hang on while I count on my fingers... eight months until the next book comes out! I will literally be counting down the days. It was that good of a book!!!!
Once again Armentrout has captivated me with the world of the Pures, Halfs, Daimons, and the two Apollyons.
Alex is faced with the death of her best friend, Aiden not saying he loves her back, Daimon attacks on the Covenant, the connection with Seth keeps getting stronger, she recieved her first mark of the Apollyon, adn was able to use two of the elements. And not to mention having to go to New York to answer questions about her mother and Gatlinburg in front of the entire council.
And then the ultimate cliffhanger ending.... A full scale Daimon attack at the New York covenant.
That's all I'm saying, so if you want to know more I seriously would encourage you to go read this, but if you haven't read Daimon or Half-Blood read those first.
The one and only thing that bothered me was a few minor spelling and grammar errors, but I can look past those.
After reading this book I am still swapping back and forth between Aiden and Seth. I think Seth will eventually become the God killer and Alex will end up with Aiden because he really does care about her.
