Deity Trailer and Apollyon Cover Reveal

Y'all. You know how much I love Jennifer L. Armentrout's work. I just love, love, love her action packed stories with hot guys and strong female characters. I have read Deity and I can assure you this is probably the best book out of the Covenant series thus far. I'll have my review up later this month but y'all you don't want to miss this book or series for that matter! Book one is called Half-Blood and book two is Pure. They are young adult novels with steamy tension. You should totes pick up these books ASAP! Anyways, so today we have the book trailer for Deity and the cover reveal for Apollyon, which is way pretty! I can't wait to have that beauty in my collection! (Please note my excitement with my over usage of the exclamation point!!)

Deity (The third book in the Covenant Series)

Official Deity Book Trailer

Did you read an ARC of Deity and been dying to get your hands on Elixir, the novella told in Aiden’s POV and picks up right after the end of Deity? Well, you don’t have to wait any longer. The free novella is available now. DO NOT read Elixir if you have not read Deity. It will spoil Deity for you and not to mention, you will have no idea what is going on.

Elixir will be available in print. Kindle, and Nook formats on November 27, 2012.

Click HERE to read Elixir.

And we’re super excited to share the cover for the 4th book in the Covenant Series, Apollyon, which is due out April 2013.

Teaser Tuesdays (Aug. 21)

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

"You were in my dream."

One amber-colored eye opened. "Please tell me we were naked."

I rolled my eyes. "You're such a perv."

This week's teaser may not be fair. But I'm post from my current read, Deity, by Jennifer L. Armentrout. Now it may not fair because Spencer Hill Press was kind enough to send me an ARC of this book and the general population will not be able to accquire this book until its release date, November 6, 2012. Sorry peeps. But I'm down right giddy with my "advanced knowledge!" And I wanted to share just a couple of lines with y'all! Don't hate me too hard!

Review: Pure by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Pure is the second novel in the Covenant series by Jennifer L. Armentrout. The first in the series is called Half-Blood. Again, yes, it may seem that this blog is a cheerleader for Ms. Armentrout's work but I'm just gonna say, if you write book I like, I WILL fangirl out over [likely ALL] your work. That is just the way I am.

Now, if you have been following my blog at all you know Alli's World has been busy, busy with non-bookish things lately. And honestly that was starting to depress me just a little. So I put aside what I had been reading and avoided my required work reading. (Hey, that's due for another week or so, I got plenty of time. By the way, confession: I procrastinate like other people breath. Seriously. If it can be done "later" it should be done..."later." Even though I have the best of intentions to read ahead, I'll be reading that stuff the night before it is due, I'm sure.) 

But the point is, I have had this book for a couple of months and I've been REALLY wanting to read it but allowed myself to keep pushing back my to-be-read stack for other THINGS. I put my foot down, and read Pure just because I wanted to. 

Annnnnnnd. I am SOOOOOOO glad I did! Pure really got me out of my reading funk. I will say you simply must read book one, Half-Blood first. Pure references characters and events you meet in Half-Blood and you really need that info to appreciate Pure. I read Pure fairly quickly and very hungrily. I just couldn't get enough! There is an epic love triangle building between the main character Alex, the totes love-able yet unattainable Aiden and the annoying, "destined" playboy Seth. (If you didn't know, I am a HUGE fan of the love triangle!!) There are at least two sets of bad guys, intent or killing Alex or making her an indentured servant OR my favorite sucking her life force right of her. I guess you could say this series is like a vampire meets demigod mash up. There's some fight scene action, swoon-worthiness, forbidden love, tear jerking sadness, and even some laughable moments, including a jab at the Twilight movie!) So really, what is not love about this book?

Oh yeah, it did leave me wondering, what's up with that brown eyed Half-blood servant? Very big Hummmm....

**Also, please make note of the cover. There is actually a scene in the book that directly correlates to the cover. I LOVE when I can specifically identify, "This is what's on the cover!"**

In conclusion, I would most def recommend Pure (and therefore it's predecessor Half-Blood). It is a young adult novel but it has some more adultish themes so I'd say good for older teens. I'd give this book a 4 out of 5 rating. I'm really looking forward to the next book in this series, Deity, which is due out November 6 per Amazon.com.

What A Great Bookish Day!

Yesterday morning a co-worker asked me about a book because I "always have great book recommendations." This kinda set my day for a great bookish day! I finished the book I was reading and the audio book I was listening to in my car, Onyx by Jennifer L. Armentrout and The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater, respectively. Both of which were very good and look for reviews and what not coming soon to a blog near you (aka this one)! 

And once I got home I found my first Advanced Reading Copy in the mail!!! Which, by the way, when I had emailed the publisher about it I got a polite email back saying they didn't have anymore copies. I can't wait to read and review this book. (Its The Third Covenant Novel.) And I kinda feel like I'm really part of the book blog "club" now! 

Needless to say, I was super excited to see it! And now you can see it too!!!

Look at that! ARC of Deity
