Sentinel The Fifth Covenant Novel Jennifer L Armentrout Books

Holy Demi-Gods! Jennifer Armentrout has done it again. She's delivered an exciting, fast paced, thrilling, swoon worthy and action packed ending to one of my favorite YA series. I love the rich Greek mythology that really came to life in this book. Some of the Gods even have a sense of humor (Apollo).... who knew. I like how Jennifer made the mythology come to life in Sentinel. It was fabulous. Seeing the Gods and the characters in this book together was awesome. Literally. They bring the action, danger, and taking those thrilling scenes to a whole new level.

I don't know what I can say about Alex and Aiden that I haven't already said before. Alex is just as feisty, and snarky as ever. I love that she can be this fierce butt kicking heroine and then have this sensual and snarky side. She's strong when she needs to be, and I love that she has learned to not only trust in herself, but in those who are around her and love her. Aiden is the one that's grown the most in my opinion. I love that he's learned to loosen up more. For his part, he's still that scary, don't piss off Sentinel who wouldn't hesitate killing someone who harmed Alex. Even though he can be a force you don't want to mess with, I love his protective side. His love for Alex is undeniable and yes, totally swoon worthy. I love that he lets her do what she's fated to do. Even though he doesn't agree with everything she does, he lets her be her own person, and supports her in that.

Then there's Seth. Oh Seth! Yes, I am Team Seth. In saying that, that does not mean I'm not Team Aiden, because really I love both guys, and I'm Team Alex. But I seriously I totally love Seth! He pushes Alex like no one else can, and I loved seeing how much he's come to care for her. And it's funny at how much he can also push Aiden's button. Let's be honest, it is hilarious to read about Seth and Aiden's bickering over Alex. Also, I KNEW IT when it came to Seth in this book!! I had my suspicions about some of the things he was going to do and I was right! Those things, meaning his true intentions and his choices came to light in this book. No I'm not going to say what those are, as you'll have to read the book. Seth totally shows his true colors in this book, and I swear I loved him even more so for doing that. Don't worry, he doesn't compete with what Aiden and Alex have, though I do love the bond that Seth and Alex have as well.

One of the things I've loved about this series is the character relationships Jennifer has created. The supporting characters play such a huge role in this series and I love how they've all come full circle. I feel like with each book the characters have not only grown stronger, but they've grown closer together. Even if some of them don't like each other, they grow to have this unease trust, if that makes sense. I've loved reading the snarky things they say to each other, the humor that's every present, the heart felt moments & heart ache they've shared, and sacrifices they all made for each other. Not to mention the swoon worthy moments that each book has had it's share of. Yeah.... those! Jennifer's characters are characters I've come to care about and love reading about.

What I wasn't excepting with this particular books is some of the gut wrenching things that happen and are discussed, especially between Alex and Aiden. It definitely made the two of them look at their relationship on a more serious level. It also gave the over all storyline a more mature feel to it. Not that the previous book didn't have that, but there's a lot more at stake in this book than the previous ones, and it needed to have a bit of a more serious undertone to it. There's a lot at stake for everyone involved in this story.

I'm normally a reader who needs closure with an ending of a series. There have been very few books where I was okay with not having everything wrapped perfectly, because it fit with the story. This is one of those books. I thought the ending was great, as it focused on Alex. Yes I wanted the other characters to be present for the ending, but as much as I wanted that, I felt that it wouldn't have been as fitting to have them there. You'll get what I'm saying when you read the book. They're there, just not physically in the scene. The ending of this series focused on the two people it needed to. In my mind, the other characters's stories continue, while I know how Alex's and someone else's ends. It's beautiful and gives me the closure I need while at the same time has me wishing this series didn't end.

If you're a fan of this series, Sentinel is a must read! *There are well written, non graphic sexual scenes, mentions of sex, mild language and the discussion of teenage pregnancy in this book. I will note that the characters in this book are 18 years & older and are mature characters.

Sentinel The Fifth Covenant Novel Jennifer L Armentrout Books Reviews

6 stars! What an ending! I will admit that this book made me blubber like a baby. I'm actually not sure I can put into words how much I loved this series and this book in particular. I laughed, I cried, I snorted, and I even caught myself doing the whole "oh snap" thing with my fingers a few times. There were so many twists and turns, and I had no idea how it was going to end. The entire book was full of awesomeness, and I felt like I was on the edge of my seat for the roller coaster ride of my life. I could not have been any happier with how Jennifer Armentrout wrapped everything up in such an incredible way. The growth of Alex's character was been nothing short of remarkable, and I was so proud of her heart, tenacity, and sacrifice. As always this book was full of the unexpected, and I loved watching Alex and Aiden fight for their happy ending.

Alex and Aiden are both remarkable characters that I have always adored, but I honestly loved every character's role in this book. Sentinel was so fast-paced, and every twist and turn had me sucking in a deep breath and hoping for the best. It is amazing how much all of these characters have gone through, and I have to say that Armentrout did truly write the perfect ending. The way everything came together made absolute sense, but at the same time it left my heart very happy. My expectations were exceeded beyond belief. It is so bittersweet for this series to be over. I have loved these characters so much and enjoyed every minute of laughing and crying with them. What a wonderful conclusion to an amazing series. Kudos to Jennifer Armentrout!

I honestly do not think that I will ever be able to think of this book and not have at least a few tears build up in my eyes. It was heart wrenching and really packed a punch in the feels. But it was also beautiful and amazing and I am just so full of emotions. I'm not ready to be back in the real world right now, where these characters and these places don't actually exist. I just want to crawl back into my mind and wrap myself up in everything Covenant and stay there for a while. I hate...hate saying goodbye to such an amazing series. But since I have to, all I can say is Sentinel was the most amazing and perfect sendoff there could have been. There isn't an ounce of disappointment in me. I have never truly been as happy with how a series ended. Ever.

--The closest furie's smile was edged with unimaginable cruelty. "The gods have heard Apollo's pleas and have responded."

The thing that will always have me turning to a JLA book without question or hesitation is the fact that she excels at both world building and character creation. When you're in the moment and you're reading one of her books everything feels so real. Like how it was reading this series for me, I felt like at any second Apollo could just pop up beside me and scare the ever loving crap out of me. I know, wishful thinking. But you know what I mean right? She has that thing... that spark, that really pulls you into her stories and allows you to feel and see everything.

--"Do you know what I think about when it's quiet, Alex? I think about all the bad things I've done."

I was all over the place through this series when it came to my feelings on Seth. I started out on the first two books being 100% Team Seth. Sure, he was cocky. Like cocky to the point that you'd find yourself thinking, "if he opens his mouth one more time...I'm gonna hit him!" But still there was just something about him that I gravitated towards from the moment he first came around. By the time I finished Deity my feelings were reversed and found myself instead wishing horrible things would happen to him. In a lot of ways he broke my heart and I wasn't sure if it would be possible to like his character again. So imagine my surprise to find myself reading Sentinel and finding some redeemable qualities in him and feeling like maybe there is hope for Seth after all. He still did a lot of horrible things and he's not perfect, but he's also not the monster I was ready to brand him as either. I'm sorry but I cannot help but love Seth.

--A throat cleared behind us, and then Apollo said, "Seriously, you two? It's not like you're keeping a god waiting or anything."

Even though I got that loving feeling back for Seth, the guy has nothing on Aiden St. Delphi. It's like every time I moved on to the next book in this series I would be blown away by how amazing and sweet and just wonderful this guy is. If he didn't show kinks in his armor every now and again I would honestly think this guy was too good to be true. I love how Alex and Aiden balance each other out and can read each other so well. There were so many Aiden and Alex feels. So. Many. Forbidden romance is one of my favorite tropes to read about. I loved how when people would give them dirty looks and openly stare Aiden would just squeeze her hand or something in a reassuring way and Alex would do something crazy pants like she is and flip them off. Gods I love Alex!

--"We are!" Deacon shouted from inside the Expedition. "I've already got the first road game picked out, so freaking hurry!"

There are so, so many amazing characters to this series though. So many. The one who comes closest to the way I feel for Aiden and Alex is Aiden's younger brother Deacon. His nonstop energy and enthusiasm along with his charm and how freaking hilarious he is are just so endearing. I swear there must be something in the St. Delphi gene pool because there's just something about those boys. They're totally opposite for the most part, Aiden is the serious and responsible type whereas Deacon is the goofy and life of the party type. Both perfect in their own ways. Like I said though, there were so many amazing characters. Too many to go on and on about each one and I both love and hate when that happens. Having that many lovable characters makes it hard to accept that, in books like these, not everyone is going to make it to the end.

--"And now it's happening again. We are going to war for you―for the gods. People will die. My friends and the people I love could die! I could die!"

This book wasn't exactly an easy one to read either. There is so much going on. I mean we're dealing with gods and war. It is intense and I was so freaked out for most of this book. I would be reading and even when nothing was happening...yet, my stomach would be a huge bundle of knots. I was dreading the possible chaos and death and destruction that could be every time I turned a page. I couldn't have been more on the edge of my seat. And that's the thing about paranormal/urban fantasy type books by JLA. She will bring you to the brink where everything is going to hell and characters will have to go to the extreme to try to put everything back together again. Things that have the potential to make the already intense and scary things go from bad to incredibly worse. Call me crazy, but I love feeling like that. Like, how could there possibly be hope? Because it makes the end results just that much sweeter.

--The lopsided smile on Apollo's face spread. "Well, I would never kiss and tell."

The thing is though, it's not all fear and sadness and chaos. I'm always amazed by how much her books can make me laugh out loud. I'm not just talking some quiet little chuckle to myself. We're talking the kind that just bursts out of you. I love that just about every possible human emotion I could feel, I'm sure I felt when reading this series. There's this huge part of me that is kicking my own behind for taking so freaking long to put forth any effort to read it. I mean, I could have been feeling this bookish high a year ago! Oh well, at least I'm finally feeling it now. These feelings are something that aren't going to be going away any time soon.
