Description

Originally published April 2013

Fate isn't something to mess with and now, neither is Alex. 

Alex has always feared two things: losing herself in the Awakening and being placed on the Elixir. But love has always been stronger than Fate, and Aiden St. Delphi is willing to make war on the gods—and Alex herself—to bring her back. 

The gods have killed thousands and could destroy entire cities in their quest to stop Seth from taking Alex's power and becoming the all-powerful God Killer. But breaking Alex's connection to Seth isn't the only problem. There are a few pesky little loopholes in the whole an Apollyon can't be killed theory, and the only person who might know how to stop the destruction has been dead for centuries. 

Finding their way past the barriers that guard the Underworld, searching for one soul among countless millions, and then somehow returning will be hard enough. Alex might be able to keep Seth from becoming the God Killer or she might become the God Killer herself.

  • Loved the Story. Couldn’t get past the editing.

    I’m an Armentrout fan. Loved the alien series. Devoured most of her romances. This book was so poorly edited that I was turned off. I have to guess it was the editing because I bought the first book in the series in paperback and the printer was new (different)? I bought the rest of the series online. And all the books were plagued with errors. I literally have corrections for a third of the pages in EACH book. Typos. Misspellings. Electronic formatting errors …. To the point that I was so distracted that I had trouble getting lost in the tale. I liked the actual stories. But actually reading them was a horrible experience and despite the author’s talent weaving a new story (especially one that is not copy-paste of an over saturated trope), I can’t recommend any book in the series. Sorry. I hope it gets corrected and rereleased because I think others would very much enjoy the story.
  • WOW.

    Romance? CHECK! Hot gods? CHECK! Women in power? CHECK! Adventure? CHECK! THIS SERIES HAS EVERYTHING YOU COULD POSSIBLY THINK OF!!!! Since I’ve been in quarantine I took it upon myself to start this series and it did NOT disappoint! I read this series within 24 hrs. This novel will have you flipping through those pages! Down to the plot line, the character development, and their power arch— I’m left breathless. This series was so powerful. I’ve read almost every one of Jen’s novels and she always keeps me coming back for more! I usually don’t read series because I get bored with them or the plot line falls off but I can promise you that this will leaves you HOOKED!!! Anyway stop reading this review and go read!!!!!
