Sentinel (Covenant, #5)

by Jennifer L. Armentrout

"It's a beautiful day for a war. As the mortal world slowly slips into chaos of the godly kind, Alexandria Andros must overcome a stunning defeat that has left her shaken and in doubt of their ability to end this war once and for all. And with all the obstacles between Alex and her happily-ever-after with the swoonworthy Aiden St. Delphi, they must now trust a deadly foe as they travel deep into the Underworld to release one of the most dangerous gods of all time. In the stunning, action-packed climax to the bestselling Covenant Series, Alex must face a terrible choice: the destruction of everything and everyone she holds dear... or the end of herself."-- Page [4] of cover.

Sentinel is the final book in the Covenant series, and sadly it didn't deliver. It wasn't that it was terribly written or the storyline horrific, but I could have been mistaken that I've read this all before. A more significant battle, but the same players and same scenarios with the same over explained descriptions. The series begun so promising, but each book has become more sexually charged, so that Sentinel is now foremost a horned up kiss fest with a touch of the paranormal fantasy. Blink and you'll almost miss it. Alex was once a tough, sassy chick with attitude and a killer fighter, now she just seems as thought she's just smartassed and sexed up. The intimate scenes felt like fillers and I needed more action, more killing and the humour has completely vanished. It seems the quickest way to kill a series, is to allow the main character to fall in love with a impossibly handsome young guy with no personality, liquid silver eyes and to get it on. I wanted to love it, but I just couldn't.

And Seth? Oh Seth.
