Deity (Covenant #3)
"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...
All the rumors you heard about her state aren’t true.
Well, mostly. When she's not hard at work writing, she spends her time, reading, working out, watching zombie movies, and pretending to write.
She is the author of the Covenant Series (Spencer Hill Press), the Lux Series (Entangled Teen), Don't Look Back (Disney/Hyperion) and a yet untitled novel (Disney/Hyperion), and new YA paranormal series with Harlequin Teen.
Jennifer also writes New Adult and Adult romance under the pen name J. Lynn. The Gamble Brothers Series (Tempting the Best Man/Tempting the Player) and Wait for You. Under her pen name, she is published with Entangled Brazen and HarperCollins.

Though I love JLA and all of her books, one of my major hang-ups with the Covenant series is how similar it is the Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead. And before you all blow up at me, I'm not accusing anybody of anything. I'm just saying that the similarities bother me. JLA has an amazing writing style and has created a unique world that I am absolutely in love. And her characters are vivid and real.
In Deity, we start to see a different side of Seth. And not just one side, but several. We see his fun, care-free side which is the side we've seen from the beginning, and we're introduced to his evil side, but also the side of him that just wants to be loved and accepted. As much as I dislike Seth, that kinda broke my heart a little. sniff sniff
Aiden and Alex's relationship (How do you even give them a nickname? Is it Ailex? Alden? I don't like either of those... Oh! Let's call them St. Andros. I like that :D [<- sometimes I wonder about my though processes *facepalm*]) is pretty much the best thing since sliced bread. And I really like sliced bread.
The plot line is:
So, if you've read Daimen, Half-Blood, and Pure, you should definitely read Deity. The series just goes uphill from here with no stopping in sight :D I can't wait to read Sentinel!!!!!!
