Sentinel (Covenant #5)

I'm a huge fan and have read almost all of her released YA's! And Sentinel did not disappoint. I finished it in less than 24 hours, flipping through the pages faster than lightning. Sentinel is a different take on Greek mythology and is immensely fun.

The main character is Alex Andros. She is what is known as the Apollyon. She's a descendant of the Greek god Apollo, and can control the five elements-air, fire, water, earth, and Akasha. Alex is fierce and loyal. Physically, she is very near unstoppable. She has witty comments, no matter the situation, and can constantly get the reader to laugh. Her boyfriend, Aiden drives me nuts occasionally. He's nice and sweet and protective, but he gets over protective and has a temper. I get that good characters have flaws, but his really make me want to smack him.

My biggest complaint about the book? The ending. It ended happily in a way I didn't expect-MEGA GOOD-but you don't find out what happened to the other characters besides the main few. I want to know what happened to Alex's friends and family! Do they live, die, or some other sort of thing. Oh, and this right here! Take a look at this and tell me you don't want to know more.

Deacon was on his feet, eyes wide, and he immediately started to backpedal out of the room. "I think I need...to, um, go find something else to do. Yeah."
Momentarily distracted from Apollo's sudden appearance, I narrowed my eyes at Aiden's brother. "What happened between you two?"
Deacon froze near the door.
The lopsided expression on Apollo's face spread. "Well, I would never kiss and tell."

Who else want to know more about what happened right there? I know I sure do! There are many other moments that aren't followed up on, that I would love to know more about and that I hope will be followed up on in the spin-off series. But even still, the book was fun and hilarious and I couldn't put it down. Despite it's faults, I give the book five stars and wave a sad goodbye to Alex and the Covenant series!

Lets just say Sentinel was freaking AMAZING!!! The ending totally caught me off guard and left me at the edge of my seat until I turned the last page! It literally almost had me rocking back and forth in the corner whispering to myself that every freaking thing was going to be okay.
The characters:
Aiden St. Delphi: I have always been on Team Aiden *cue invisible pom poms* and I think I am a more as ever. He is super dreamy, and can leave you in a puddle of mush. There is sooooo many other descriptions that can describe this guy but I am hit so hard in the feels you are lucky I am even able to get this much out. Let's just say this guy is amazing and Alex is incredibly lucky to have him in her life.
Alex: Alex has always been in one of my top favorite female heroines. She is incredibly brave, and when she is set out to do something she does it.
Seth: Through out the series I have been on and off if whether I like Seth or not. One moment I would believe he would change for the better but the next moment he would do something incredibly stupid. Lets just say he had me constantly banging my head against my bedroom wall. But honestly, I think he has finally changed for the better. He did certain things at this of this book that took a lot of guts. I mean ALOT! So yeah, I think Seth is now a total good guy!
If you haven't read this book or just plain out have not read this series yet then I HIGHLY recommend that you read it.

Wow. What an ending. I devoured this book, and loved every second. Well, some of it was hard. Sad, tragic, funny, sexy, violent, an army of awesome (yes, they do call themselves that, and are indeed made of awesome), twists and turns, with unexpected characters, turns of events and an ending that blew me away.
This was everything I wanted and more for a series ending. I have loved each of the books, swooning over Aiden, laughing with Alex, jaw dropped at the intense action and fighting. Smirking at the gods especially Apollo and Seth can be lumped into all of this too when they deserve it, rolling my eyes at other times, wanting to smack them, and not getting what was going on as well as in awe of the sacrifice and emotion going on with them. Aiden is as sweet, understanding, and supportive of Alex as well, and we get to see that streak of jealousy that makes me love him even more.
Alex has really grown in some ways, learning that its okay to be afraid, that she needs to open up. In others she is still the same stubborn, fun loving, loyal girl she has been throughout the series. I think that we really get to see her strength in new ways and that she steps up in so many areas in this one. I was so proud of her.
Seth really surprised me in this one, and what he ends up doing really had my jaw hitting the floor. He comes face to face with the bad decisions he's made and take a look at who he has become and what he needs to do to make up for it. I would love it if we got to see more from him so that we know what becomes of his choices. Hint, Hint Jennifer if by some chance you're reading this.
I know that all of my questions were answered and the threads that I can remember were wrapped up to my satisfaction.
It is so hard to review without spoiling anything, but this did not let me down at all.

Bottom Line: Swoony, action packed series finale with a mind blowing ending.
