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.

THE POWER brought all sorts of feelings out. It was like a big ole reunion and I couldn’t contain my excitement!
THE POWER picks up where THE RETURN ended. Having destroyed one of the Titans, Josie practices becoming a badass so she can find other demigods to take down the other titans, while Seth discovers his darkness is looming closer to the surface. And if that weren’t enough, two old friends return, changing the dynamics between Seth and Josie.
I have always been a big fan of Seth’s, even when he was being lead around like and evil minion. But this version of Seth is one that’s really hard not to love. He’s still a badass, but he’ll go to any lengths to ensure Josie is safe…even if being safe means being away from him. He steps up. He puts others before himself. He proves to those in their little group that he can be trusted. He’s turning into that hero you can’t help but love and it couldn’t have happened to a better guy.
And I loved Josie. She’s coming into her own. Embracing her powers and learning what she can do. She seems to hold onto her humanity while at the same time always questioning if the path their following is the only way. And she continues to see the good in people. That trait proves important towards the end of the book, because it’s that faith she has in people’s goodness that is going to help her and the other save someone she loves.
My review wouldn’t be complete without mentioning the return of Alex and Aiden. They’re secondary characters to Josie and Seth, but they have an important role to play. Of course, just the fact that they were back had me all giddy.
THE POWER lived up to my expectations. I quickly devoured the book and then moped around in a book hangover. It’s a fast-paced, glorious read that is full of action sprinkled with Sethie hotness, laughter and emotional angst. Now, how many months for the next book?

New Adult Paranormal
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.
