History is on repeat…

Seth never thought he’d have a future. But now he’s on the brink of having it all with Josie: A tomorrow. A family. A forever. And all that's standing between him and that forever is the Titans. If he helps Josie entomb them -- without killing them, a nearly impossible task for him -- everything he could ever want will be in reach. But he soon realizes that as a god, every little choice he makes can reshape the world for the better… or worse. And in meddling with the Titans, Seth may have just set into motion catastrophic consequences that will force the Olympians to enter the mortal realm and reshape the delicate balance of power that keeps the world from total collapse.

A price must be paid…

Entombing the Titans is Josie’s top priority. After all, it was what she was born to do. But the plans her father put into play to help her are no longer an option, and the odds she and Seth face in forging their own path are grim. The escalating violence between halfs and pures only increases the danger closing in on them and their friends. Josie knows their chances of succeeding in their task are slim at best -- and if they fail, they might lose everything. But she also knows she's not fighting just for herself -- she's fighting for the man she loves, for their future, for the world. Together with the Army of Awesome, Josie and Seth will face the unthinkable. And to win this war, the ultimate sacrifice must be made.

For the end is here and the Prophecy will be fulfilled…. 

my rate

I finished it. I'm so sad, but so happy that I finish one of my favorite series. I was dying to finally read the happy ending, but this feeling is bittersweet. I applaud the author for this series, it was way better than the one before. I just feel that things were not completed enough, but the main problem was and I'm happy for it.

If you read the Covenant series, then Titan is for you. This is the last book in the series and is totally bittersweet. So if you read the original series, then you know this spin-off is to give us the final (happy) end of Seth and our new kickass female lead, Josie. The book before this one was strong, it made everything very more complicated, so I wasn't sure of how this was going to end. This is the quick summary... Josie is a demigod and the love of Seth's live, who is now a god. These two are expecting a child, call that a blessing. The Titans are furious and killing people like they are cockroaches. The demigods must stop them, but no other God wants to tell them how. When a sacrifice must be made, things might fall apart.

While reading this book I was truly scared of my favorite characters. This author, as any other, kills people for fun, so I was very very afraid. Let's say that I was waiting for the plot twists that happened, but I wanted the explication of why they happened, and it was good. Is so secret that Greek Mythology is my fave, but I have to admit that authors are making me hate these gods. They are so selfish, but so selfless when needed. They talk very cryptic and made my insides bust of rage. They are also hilarious because Dionysus wearing a beach shirt is funny, so is one of the Titans having a blue mohawk. But my whole love goes to Apollo. He got his hands dirty, he deserves all the awards and be remembered as the hero he is.

Kudos to the author for making a book so good that I didn't want to remember anymore because my tears were going to fall. Fully recommend the series.

#ReviewsInFewWords [5]

Now, this is the type of post in where I type short reviews of books that I read a long time ago or books that I forgot to review once I was finished with them. I got a long list of books, so I will divide into different posts and post them once in a while. Anyways, I might not remember much of them, but how they made me feel will always stay within myself, right? I hope so because here goes nothing.

my overall rate

These books, these books take a spot in my life very dear. These books made started the life I now have, the life of a bookworm. They might not have been what actually started in the first place, but these were the beginning. I couldn’t believe myself when the first book came to my hands. I was so giddy. I wanted to read it all in one sitting, but alas I couldn’t because they were in English and I had to take my sweet time understanding what the hell everything said. You see, I was not good in English, but that didn’t stop me. I read them all in the span of one year and that was my biggest accomplishment back them.

I remember absorbing all the information as if I was a sponge. I remember loving so much the Greek mythology inside of it that I became kind of an expert in it. I wanted to know everything and kind of did. I was in tenth grade, but I wanted to be like Percy or Annabeth. I wanted to be a demigod and train in Camp Half-Blood. I remember when the movies came out and I was a little disappointed, but they were finally movies and I was stoked. I didn’t like them much, but I put faces in characters that I loved.

Rick Riordan is one of my top ten authors, kind of obvious, right? I know that no matter how old I am, I will still read his new books. I will always hold dear Percy Jackson and the Olympians. These books are not only for kids, if you really like fantasy, go ahead and give it a try. You will never regret it.

my overall rate:

What gave me the impulse of buying these three books in just one click? I don’t know. (Have to insert here that it was a little after that I actually bought The Kill Order). I really remember the time I started reading the first book. My gramps had to go to a doctor’s appointment and I had to drive him. I knew it was going to take a couple of hours inside the doctor’s office, so I took the book and keep going. Immediately I opened the book and started reading, it was like the whole world collapsed and I was alone reading this incredible story. I went page after page after page until I was already halfway into and my gramps was telling me we could already go.

After that everything is a blur. I remember snippets when I was reading and how much I laughed or screamed angry at the book. I almost shed a tear for Newt. I definitely remember feeling like the end wasn’t my favorite, but I liked the journey so much that I accepted it. I remember finishing The Death Cure and feeling so curious about what started it all and I went, bought The Kill Order and read it. The whole world was so good constructed that I want more at that time. Sadly, I don’t think I can keep more with anything that has come out nowadays.

Right now those books lay on a bookshelf of a dearest friend that gave them a home and devoured them in one sitting and more than one time. I recommend the books, but if you don’t want to read them and just see the movie, I’m okay with that. The movies don’t have everything the book has but is a close enough.

my overall rate:

OH MY GOD! This series. I remember all my feeling with this series. There’s too much coming into my mind right now that I guess this lines will just be ramblings. In the beginning, I remember being so intrigued with Patch. I was a coming-to-age teenager going to my new adult stage, I wanted a guy like Patch in my life. I remember him being all dark, hot and… gosh, I wanted to be Nora. Then I noticed he was a fallen angel and damn, I wanted more.

But sadly that I remember most of this series is I slowly going down the excitement. Everything in the story got tangled up so bad that I didn’t even know what kind of story I was reading. I don’t even remember what happened! I just know that the world Nephilim was thrown around, and I was very familiar with that term thanks to Cassandra Clare. I was intrigued, but I was so out of being committed to finishing the series. At the end, I read it all. I barely remember how it ended and if I was happy with it.

Somehow I gave all the stars to these books, so I’ll just let it be like that. I don’t remember what I was thinking back them, so whatever. I have to admit that the covers are amazingly beautiful, my favorites being Hush, Hush, and Silence. I cannot recommend something that I don’t remember much, so there’s that.

PS, after writing all those lines, I found that I already reviewed the first book, so that's a bonus.

[Double Review] The Power & The Struggle, by: Jennifer L. Armentrout

Titan #2

THE POWER

by: Jennifer L. Armentrout
Release Date: February 23rd, 2016
Read Date: April 19th, 2017
Format: Paperback
Pages: 344

With any great change, there is always strife, and the Covenant University has become the frontline between pure-bloods who want the Breed Order reinstated and the half-bloods who want the right to control their own destinies.

Fate has other plans.

 The violence is escalating and war between the races seems inevitable, and it couldn’t come at a worse time. Hyperion may be out of commission, but Josie and Seth know they have only earned a reprieve.  Seth must get Josie fully prepared, which means controlling her newfound abilities, and they need to find the other demigods before the Titans do.

But the gods are sensing a greater threat. 

Only one thing is more dangerous than a bunch of starved Titans, and that’s an out-of-control Apollyon. 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 not only dangerous to her, but to everyone around them, but letting her go requires a level of selflessness that just isn’t Seth’s style.

The paths taken in the past are becoming the roads of the future.

Just as chaos breaks out, familiar faces from the past return, complicating the already strained bond between Josie and Seth, and when the danger from the Titans erupts with devastating consequences, the dark allure of power calls to Seth again, but this time Josie might not be able to pull him back.

 And when the struggle between power and love becomes the deadliest battleground, there may be no salvation.

Titan #3

THE STRUGGLE

by: Jennifer L. Armentrout
Release Date: March 20th, 2017
Read Date: April 19th, 2017
Format: Kindle Edition
Pages: 370

A bloody path has been chosen…

The war against the Titans continues, and they remain determined to wreak havoc on the world, but Seth has become something all gods fear. Now the most dangerous, most absolute power no longer resides in those who have been freed from their tombs.

The Great War fought by the few is coming…

All may doubt and fear what Seth has become. All except the one woman who might be his final chance at redemption. Josie will do anything to prove that Seth is on their side, but fate has a nasty way of changing lives, of changing people.

In the end, the sun will fall…

The only way they can save the future and save themselves is by facing the unknown together. It will take more than trust and faith. It will take love and the kind of strength not easily broken. No matter what, their lives will never be the same.

For what the gods have feared has come to pass. The end of the old is here and the beginning of the new has been ushered in…

MY RATE FOR BOTH

I'm pissed! Yes, I am pissed that this series did not finished in book three. I'm pissed that I have to wait till gods knows when for the next and, maybe, last book. I am pissed that the end of both of these books were not happy. They were not cliffhangers, but I wanted a little happiness for a moment. I'm pissed because my babies will suffer in the next book, I just can feel it.

All that aside, I have to tell you that if you haven't read the Covenant series, which is the series that comes before this one... You are missing a lot. That series was so, so good that the author made this series as a spin-off and let me tell you, this series is way better, but reading the series before will give you better footing.

After the end of the first book, I needed the second one as much as I need to breathe. I remember buying the book even before it came out and waiting not so patiently for it arrive on release day (it came late, btw). BUT it was not until a full year and a couple of months went passed that I finally read it. I read it today and I read the third one not long after finishing it. I have to say that I am not disappointed at all with the books, the plot, the characters or anything. Yes, I'm pissed about the things I said before, but I do have to admit that the books were damn good.

The story threw a major curve ball a little after the beginning of book third and then it curved again a little before the end, but it was the best plot twists ever. I cannot wait for the next book. I am thrilled of how everything is going to play out, but I am also afraid for my babies. I can feel some major tears coming for them. I just want them to be happy and I want the story to end in book number three, but wishes are not fishes.

If you like Greek Mythology and pure action with romance, this series is the perfect fit for you. Come and read it ASAP.
