I loved the first book in this series, giving it 4.5 stars. This one fell a little short for me. It still had some awesome Jamie and Ryan moments but the rest of the storyline didn't really tempt me in. The superhero bit was, I guess, then next logical step but I wasn't that thrilled by the idea of it. Neither about Teddy's appearance.

I can't not read the last book but I'm not in that much of a hurry to do so.

It's been almost 18 month since I read the first book in this series and I'd forgotten pretty much everything that went on, though some of it came back to me as I read this.

I gave the first book 5 stars but really struggled with the style of this. My tastes have probably changed in the last year but it felt rather stilted and unlike other books we didn't really get a recap of previous events.

Not for me.

Meh

This is my fourth book by the author. Two I've loved, two not so much, including this one. It was just too much history and not enough relationship building for me so by the end when they got down to the sex part I wasn't even interested and skipped it. And sometimes that's the best bit!

I liked the idea behind it but it fell short for me. I don't think I'll be reading the next book in the series.

I wish I enjoyed this as much as the first book; I did enjoy it more than the second. The conclusion that is still, in many ways, a cliffhanger leaves me satisfied enough that I don't feel the urgent need to read the next book, especially considering it will be from Wyatt's point of view, but allows that option to re!ain open in the future. For me this series started out strong but ended much weaker than I hoped for.

When your in love with a God
If you haven't yet read any Jennifer L Armentrout then your missing out!

Jennifer writing is so easy to get lost in whether your reading her Young Adult, New Adult or General fiction she has the ability to capture the reader better than most authors I've ever read.


The Titan Series is the Sequal to Jennifer Covanant series. If you haven't yet read Covanant please read it especially if you love Greek mythology. Covanant follows a very empowered amazing female lead called Alexandra Andros where as The Return follows Seth.


Seth is an extremely complex and amazing character if you have read the Covanant series you know Seth started out as a egoticial hard man Apolloyon who through the series change due to Alexs influence.


The Return Seth no longer has Alex as his conscious and guide. Seth has to repent for his mid deeds from the covanant series and it doesn't help he suddenly has feeling for his new charge. I love this book a lot not as much as the original Covanant series but it still amazing all the same plus Seth and Apollo arguments egos and bitch fighting can keep me amused for days.

Reaping Another Great Mystery
When the von Tresslers moved to town, they didn’t make the residents of Winsome, Pennsylvania, very happy. They’ve mostly kept to themselves except when they were pushing to do things their way. Now, David von Tressler has died, and most of the mourners are from out of town. That includes three women that Megan Sawyer runs into at the local nursery. Shortly after Megan meets them, one of the women disappears. Then a body turns up at Megan’s farm. What is going on?

I was thrilled to see another entry in this great series, and I wasn’t disappointed. The mystery is strong. It starts quickly and there are plenty of twists and turns before we reach the end. The characters continue to be wonderful. We got updates on the series regulars and the new characters were well developed. There’s nothing here that spoils previous books in the series, so you could jump in here, but to fully appreciate the character growth, I do recommend reading the series in order. This series is more of a traditional mystery than a lighter cozy, but as long as you know that going in, you’ll be fine. I definitely recommend this book and the entire series.

Second Installment of Solid YA Series
I just recently re-read the entire Mortal Instruments series and thoroughly enjoyed it (maybe even more so than the first time around). This book is a solid sequel to the first one, and continues to develop Claire's creative world and characters.

The action is fun, the romance is hot (although sometimes a little too distracting from the plot), and the writing is good. Claire does a great job mixing in humor and emotion with her story, so the characters are engaging - even when they are unreasonable, selfish, and childish.


Give the series a chance if you like YA. It's a fantastic source of entertainment.
