There is need. And then there is Fate...
Being destined to become some kind of supernatural electrical outlet isn't exactly awesome--especially when Alexandria's "other half" is everywhere she goes. Seth's in her training room, outside her classes, and keeps showing up in her bedroom--so not cool. Their connection does have some benefits, like staving off her nightmares of the tragic showdown with her mother, but it has no effect on what Alex feels for the forbidden, pure-blooded Aiden. Or what he will do--and sacrifice--for her.
When daimons infiltrate the Covenants and attack students, the gods send furies--lesser gods determined to eradicate any threat to the Covenants and to the gods, and that includes the Apollyon... and Alex. And if that and hordes of aether-sucking monsters didn't blow bad enough, a mysterious threat seems willing to do anything to neutralize Seth, even if that means forcing Alex into servitude... or killing her.
When the gods are involved, some decisions can never, ever be undone.
Yesterday, we visited The Getty Villa in Pacific Palisades, CA built in 2006. It's a separate addition to the The Getty only ten miles away. The awesome part about both museums is that there is no entrance fee. You just have to pay a parking fee of $15. If you decide to visit The Getty Villa, you will need to make a free reservation online and you can do that by clicking here.
Beginning March 28th through July 9th, 2012, The Getty Villa has an exhibition of Aphrodite and Gods of Love. I was so excited when I just happen to visit the site and see the new, main exhibit. Unfortunately, there were no pictures allowed in the exhibit, and honestly, none would do them justice. The exhibit's walls were painted a rich, dark purple and all of the marble statues were illuminated with precise lighting.
Mary and I have read a ton books in the last year, some of favorites included the ones based on Greek Mythology. It all started with Starcrossed by Josie Angelini, following The Goddess Test and Goddess Interrupted by Aimee Carter and the the devouring of Half-Blood by Jennifer L. Armentrout. Pure, also by Armentrout is out this Tuesday!
