The Return by Jennifer L Armentrout


“Holy Hottie-McHotters!”

Oh My God! I loved, loved, loved this book so, so, so much! Jennifer L Armentrout has done it again!

The Return is set one year after the events of 'Sentinel' and is centered around Seth. Seth, my beautiful, complicated Seth, he really has had a tough year. His life now belongs to the Gods to do with as they please. Tracking, torturing, killing, you name it Seth has to do it. But protecting someone? Ya, not something he thought he would have to do.

Enter Josie. Just another ordinary college student- or so she thinks- but when a mysterious hot guy comes knocking she's not so sure anymore. And then things start to get weird. 

“What are you?” she asked, her nose scrunching as she spoke. “Other than a heart-stopping hot guy with obvious boundary issues and problems with anger management?”

What I loved about this book was how we got to see things through Seth's point of view. It really gave me a better understanding of his character and of how he had felt throughout the previous books. His vulnerability in parts of the book was very touching and eye-opening. 

Tears built in my throat. "You're not just the Apollyon, Seth."
His eyes drifted shut, his face tensed as his fingers splayed across my cheeks. "I don't even know who I am anymore. Or what I ever was."
Oh goodness, that ripped right through my chest. "You're just...you're just Seth."
A tremor moved through his arms. "And you...you're just my salvation.”

I don't want to give too much on the plot away but I will say that it was intense, intriguing and down right awesome! We also get to catch up with previous characters from the Covenant Series! That was a lovely surprise! There also wasn't a lack of humor in this story! I'd find myself in fits of laughter as quickly as I would find tears in my eyes.

“I ran over a squirrel once."
Blinking open my eyes, I drew back as far as she'd let me.
"What?"
"I ran over a squirrel the second time I ever drove a car," she repeated. "I also hit a deer. And when I was seventeen, I clipped a cat. Before I left for college, I backed into a dog."
"Gods," I muttered.”

All in all this book did not disappoint and i'm impatiently waiting until the next book in the series! I seriously recommend this book if you're a fan of the all things Seth or the Covenant Series or anything Jennifer Armentrout related!

The Return, Book Release!


Guess what beautiful and wonderful book is here?! 

You got it! Seth's story is here, The Return! 

It may be the first day of lent, but I can tell you all I am not going off drool-worthy boys this lent.. especially with beautiful Seth here and ready for me to read about.. 

Best news about this book is the fact it is a New Adult Paranormal Romance.. so I shall hope that means some very heated scenes!

So here is the Synopsis for all you who haven't read it a million times already, and for you who have.. why don't you read it once more..

The Fates are cackling their bony asses off...

It's been a year since Seth made the deal with the gods that pledged his life to them. And so far, the jobs they've given him have been violent and bloody--which is kind of all right with him. But now Apollo has something else in mind for Seth. He's got to play protector while keeping his hands and fingers off, and for someone who really has a problem with restraint, this new assignment might be the most challenging yet.

Josie has no idea what this crazy hot guy's deal might be, but it's a good bet that his arrival means the new life she started after leaving home is about to be thrown into an Olympian-sized blender turned up to puree. Either Josie is going insane or a nightmare straight out of ancient myth is gunning for her.

But it might be the unlikely attraction simmering between her and the golden-eyed, secret-keeping Seth that may prove to be the most dangerous thing of all.

Because history has once again been flipped to repeat.



So I've a little gift for y'all.. it's just a tinee-tiny excerpt.. so go fangirl.. 

Shaking my head, I pivoted around and walked down the long hall to my dorm room. As I reached the door, the shiver was at the base of my spine again, dancing its way up until it traveled across my shoulders. My heart turned over heavily and I closed my eyes.

Twice in one day.
Oh God.
I’d never felt this more than once in any span of several days.

Swallowing hard, I wrapped my fingers around the doorknob, battling the urge to turn and scan the hall, because I knew no one would be there.

Dragging in a deep breath, I opened the door and stepped inside the room. My brows flew up, and I forgot about the feeling as I closed the door behind me.

Erin was sprawled on the floor, palms pressed down on a mat, her spandex-covered behind jutting up toward the sky. She turned her head, peering at me from under her armpit.

Her armpit.


“How in the world do you get your neck to bend like that without killing yourself?” I asked.

“Skills, yo.”

Erin did yoga and meditation religiously, saying it helped merge her yin and yang together or something. She’d once told me she had a hell of a mean streak, and contorting herself into painful-looking positions helped keep “good vibrations” around her. Which was strange, because I’d never seen Erin lose her temper in the two years I’d known her.

Erin unfolded herself from some kind of downward dog or upward pony and grinned at me. “Check under the bed.”

Curious, I dropped my bag and stepped over her legs. Bending down, I lifted the bedspread and my eyes grew to the size of saucers when I spotted the bottle. I snatched it up and clutched it to my chest as I whipped toward her. “José!”

Her grin spread into a smile. “The best boyfriend ever.”

So y'all excited?! Because damn I know I am! Maybe I should give y'all the links to buy this beauty.. just in-case you haven't already:
