Goodreads synopsis:
The Covenant University has become the frontline for the escalating violence between pure-bloods and half-bloods. War between the races seems inevitable, and it couldn't come at a worse time. Seth must prepare Josie for battle, which means teaching her how to control her newfound demigod abilities...and they need to find and rescue the other demigods before their enemies - the Titans - find them first.
Only one thing is more dangerous than a bunch of starved Titans, and that's an out-of-control Apollyon in the form of Seth. 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 becoming explosively dangerous. But letting her go requires a level of selflessness that just isn't Seth's style.
When the danger from the Titans erupts with devastating consequences, the dark allure of power calls to Seth again - but this time, Josie may not be able to pull him back from the brink...
Review:
This is the second book in the Titan series, centered around Seth, the Apollyon and demigod Josie. 'The Power' continues their story and charts the growing romance between them. Let me tell you, the romantic scenes in this instalment are off the charts! If you like kisses that sizzle and chemistry that absolutely crackles, then you will love this book. It's definitely aimed at a New Adult readership, as Josie and Seth become closer than ever before and toy with taking their relationship to the next level. There are some very steamy scenes indeed. Swoon! Seth however, wants to do the right thing by Josie, which doesn't include giving into his urge to feed from her aether.
I loved Seth so much in this book! He is really sweet, even when he's not trying to be. I love the fact that he's totally astounded by the fact that anyone could actually have fallen in love with him - and that innocence is so appealing. The plot swirls around the two of them, as Josie tries to control her new found abilities and Seth attempts to train her in their quest to rescue the other demigods.
I wasn't sure that any couple could compare to Kat and Daemon from Armentrout's Lux series, but Josie and Seth come pretty close. Steam was practically coming off the pages of my book at times!
This was a fantastic read which I devoured in one sitting. I don't think I'll be able to stand the wait for the next in the series. It's just so good, that you need to get your hands on a copy pronto.
