The Return: A titian Novel - Jennifer L. Armentrout

We have been dying to bring you the Release Blitz for Jennifer L. Armentrout's THE RETURN! THE RETURN is a New Adult Paranormal Romance and is a part of Jennifer L. Armentrout’s Titan Series. Seth is looking to be just as dangerously delicious as we all hoped!!


The Return - Cover

(That is one fit guy, and my favourite character from the Covenant Series)

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.

THE RETURN Excerpt:

I was a half-blood, but I was also the Apollyon, a child of a pure and a half, a union that had been forbidden for thousands of years because an Apollyon was more powerful than any pure or half could ever hope to be.

And I always got to the traitors’ hideouts before they did, so the Sentinels were usually left with the cleanup, which I was sure absolutely thrilled them.

The first to enter was a female half-blood dressed just as I was. Her black hair was pulled back in a neat little knot at the top of her head. She was older, probably in her mid-thirties. It was pretty rare for a Sentinel to live that long. Her dark skin paled as she stopped just inside the entrance. She clenched titanium daggers in her hands like she expected something vicious to pop out from under the bloody mess.

The female Sentinel tipped her chin up, and the overhead light sliced across her broad cheekbones. She bore a jagged scar under her right eye, the skin lighter in tone. She saw me and froze.

My smile widened.

Behind her, another Sentinel rushed in, almost mowing her over. He saw me and whispered, “Seth.”

He’d said my name like I was the monster under his bed, and I sort of liked that. Then another Sentinel and another rolled in. The fifth took one look at my interior design work and keeled over. Slamming his hands on his knees, he hurled up his dinner.

Nice.

Our society existed completely unknown to the average mortal and had operated under what was known as the Breed Order for thousands of years. The Order had been dismantled, which meant halfs were no longer forced to choose between becoming Sentinels—hunting down violent creatures, protecting pures, enforcing laws, and otherwise usually dying pretty damn quickly on the job—or servants, which was a job that really wasn’t a job, but more like slavery. Since then, many pampered pures had signed on to be Sentinels, making up for the loss of the halfs who’d pretty much said “screw this shit, I’m out.”

This wasn’t necessarily a good thing.

For example, the dumbass puking all over my blood-covered floor was a pure. When he straightened, his face a greenish hue, he backed away, shaking his head. “I can’t,” he gasped out. “I can’t do this.”

Then he turned and hauled ass out the doors.
I sighed. This was why we couldn’t have nice things.

Crown of Midnight (Throne of Glass, #2)

Heir of Fire (Throne of Glass, #3)

I haven't put the blurbs for book 2 and 3 to avoid any spoilers.

I just want to say please read this series. PLEASE. I have always said that I don't have that one book, or one series, that is my absolute favourite. There are many that I love, but no one stood out, until I read Heir of Fire. 

I am one of those people that hates to read the last book of a series, because I don't want it to end. I knew how long it was going to take for the 4th book to come out, so I put of reading Heir of Fire. If any of you follow my Instagram, you will know that I bought the book and finally took the plunge. 

I can say, without a shadow of a doubt, that this series and the author are my all time favourites. There is no comparison. The world building, the characters, the writing and everything in between is just incredible.

I cannot write its praises enough. I NEED the next book as I'm sure you all will once you read the books. When I feel strongly about a book, I usually shove it in front of my friends and  make them read it. Since I cannot do that over the internet, I am begging you to read it. You will not be disappointed.

Thoughtful - S.C. Stephens

Thoughtful (Thoughtless, #1.5)

                                                   Thoughtful (Thoughtless #1.5)


 new novel in the Thoughtless series from #1 New York Timesbestselling author S. C. Stephens! 

Every story has two sides, and in this new book, the epic love story between Kiera and Kellan is shown through his eyes. 

All Kellan Kyle needs is his guitar, and some clean sheets of paper. Growing up in a house that was far from a home, he learned a hard lesson:You're worthless. Now his life is comfortably filled with passionate music, loyal band mates, and fast women...until he meets her. 

Kiera makes him ache for more. Makes him feel for the first time that he'sworth more. But there's one problem - she's his best friend's girl. 

Just when Kellan thought his emotional defenses were rock solid, Kiera's indecisive heart wreaks havoc on his soul, changing him forever. Losing Kiera is not an option.

When I found out I got approved for an Arc for this book, I may or may not have done a happy dance.



The Thoughtless series is a bit like Marmite. You either love it or you hate it. I definitely love it. This book was no different. It follows the male protagonist of the three previous Thoughtless books, Kellan Kyle. Sigh. So so dreamy.

We get to see the inner workings of Kellan, and honestly, it made the first book make a lot more sense. A few times through Thoughtless, I was very confused as to why he acted the way that he did, this book made it all make sense. I may not have liked the explanation, but it definitely made sense.

Just like with Kiera, Kellan's thought process was at times annoying and you just want to shake them both and say "STOP BEING SO STUPID AND JUST KISS!" I mainly just wanted to give Kellan a hug and say "I LOVE YOU!" as I'm sure most of you do too.

There was only one thing that truly caught me off guard, and that was Kellan's thought process after Kiera went back with Denny, multiple times. The language may offend a few people, so if you are easily offended, then this is not the book for you. I very nearly stopped reading the book, but the more I thought about it, the more I realised that we all think like that at times. We all have thoughts that are so offensive, we shock ourselves. It doesn't make it right, but we're human and it happens all the time. It made me love S.C. Stephen just a little bit more because it is refreshing. We don't really read things like that, unless its the bad guy speaking.

That was really my main problem, that wasn't much of a problem the more I thought about it.

Please read this. A definite recommendation.

5/5 stars.
