The Covenant University has become the frontline for the escalating violence between pure-bloods and half-bloods. War between the races seems inevitable, and it couldn't come at a worse time. Seth must prepare Josie for battle, which means teaching her how to control her newfound demigod abilities...and they need to find and rescue the other demigods before their enemies - the Titans - find them first.
Only one thing is more dangerous than a bunch of starved Titans, and that's an out-of-control Apollyon in the form of Seth. The aether in Josie is drawing Seth in deeper, and when lust mixes with love and gives way to power, he knows being close to her is becoming explosively dangerous. But letting her go requires a level of selflessness that just isn't Seth's style.
When the danger from the Titans erupts with devastating consequences, the dark allure of power calls to Seth again - but this time, Josie may not be able to pull him back from the brink...
So much drama going on in this book.
When Alex made her bargain in the last series, the God's promised her equality between Half's and Pure's. Only, it's not going so well for some of the pures. They don't like the Half's are seen as equal and there is no slavery. I have a few choice words over that.
But in the middle of all the fighting going on at the university, Seth has to teach Josie to protect herself and it's hard when she's just a human at the moment.
Also, there's a big problem for Seth happening. He's falling for Josie, in a big way and as much as he tries to push her away, to protect her, it doesn't happen. He feeds off her unintentionally and comes addicted to her aether.
As they go across the states to find other demi Gods, the worse it becomes for Seth. The allure of power is calling to him and it all becomes too much for him when a devastating loss happens for him. Breaking him.
I loved this story line and found it better than the series before. I loved that Alex and Aiden come back too and we get to see how they are doing and how Deacon is handling their absence. I think he handles it better because of Luke.
Oh, and I'm still in shock over finding out about Deacon and a certain God. WOW! Knew something happened but WOW!
This book ends on a major cliffhanger and I can't wait to read the next in the series.
