With any great change, there is always strife, and the Covenant University has become the frontline between pure-bloods who want the Breed Order reinstated and the half-bloods who want the right to control their own destinies. Fate has other plans. The violence is escalating and war between the races seems inevitable, and it couldn’t come at a worse time. Hyperion may be out of commission, but Josie and Seth know they have only earned a reprieve. Seth must get Josie fully prepared, which means controlling her newfound abilities, and they need to find the other demigods before the Titans do.
But the gods are sensing a greater threat. Only one thing is more dangerous than a bunch of starved Titans, and that’s an out-of-control Apollyon. The aether in Josie is drawing Seth in deeper, and when lust mixes with love and gives way to power, he knows being close to her is not only dangerous to her, but to everyone around them, but letting her go requires a level of selflessness that just isn’t Seth’s style. The paths taken in the past are becoming the roads of the future.
Just as chaos breaks out, familiar faces from the past return, complicating the already strained bond between Josie and Seth, and when the danger from the Titans erupts with devastating consequences, the dark allure of power calls to Seth again, but this time Josie might not be able to pull him back. And when the struggle between power and love becomes the deadliest battleground, there may be no salvation.
Holy. Shit. I swear if I have to read another sentence about Josie and Seth being split apart because it’s for Josie’s well being I might flip over a table. I mean, seriously. The way those two were getting so hot and heavy at the beginning of this book, I was actually really happy when Seth decided to take a step back from Josie – although I wasn’t too big of a fan of how he did it. If I had to read another hot and heavy make out session between those two that led to nothing… *sigh*
Luckily though that scene where everything changes and Seth starts to turn a little to the dark side, was a major plot turning point. Up until then it was just about Seth and Josie’s relationship with a little bit of drama between the pures and halves, plus this foreboding warning from Apollo about finding a demigod to help them find the other demigods. However, once Seth takes that step back, things really moved forward in the plot. There’s a battle scene. There’s the whole Medusa thing. And then Hercules, yes, that Hercules, shows up and turns out to be not the guy from the Disney movie, and then ROAD TRIP.
And let me tell you that road trip is completely bonkers. Not only because of the drama between Seth and Josie, but because of another Titan battle, and then Seth going full on ape-shit crazy. My head is still spinning, and now I know why this book was called The Power. Oy.
Final Rating: 4 out of 5 stars. The drama between Seth and Josie drove me absolutely insane. First there really hot and heavy. Then they’re not because Seth doesn’t want to drain her power from her, and then they’re really hot and heavy again, and then… Ugh. I have a headache just thinking about this. I swear, Josie better not pull another Bella Swan moment in the next book, because I will seriously lose it if she does.
Bookshelf worthy? I could stare at that cover all day.
