Musing Mondays (61)

 Hosted by Should Be Reading.
 This week’s musing is…

~What was the last book you couldn't finish and why?~

There are two. One I started and quit halfway in. That one was Intangible by J. Meyers. I found myself unable to focus on the story or the characters simply because there were too many. I didn't see the point of some of the POV's, why were they relevant and such. I guess with time and patience I could've finished it, the premise of the story was interesting enough and the main characters (the twins) were intriguing and fun. But at the time I just quit halfway.
The second book was Sweet Evil by Wendy Higgins I only got about five chapters in and threw it away. In my goodreads review I wrote possible factors that contributed to my not finishing it: Anna's pureness and naivete, casual drug and alcohol abuse, and random demon WTFkery. Don't quite remember the specifics but for me to write that it had to be BAD. I know there was a lot of buzz about the book, and Kaidan the fictional boyfriend, but I just couldn't get through it.

Review: Deity by Jennifer L. Armentrout




Deity
(Covenant 3)
Publisher: Spencer Hill Press, 2012
Genre: YA Mythology
Buy: Amazon B&NTBD

Overview
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...
