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

“Ever since I’ve met you, I’ve wanted to break every rule.” Aiden turned away, the muscles in his neck tensing. He sighed. “You’ll become the centre of someone’s world one day. And he’ll be the luckiest son of a bitch on this earth.”
What a beautiful, damn sexy quote! I wish I had an Aiden in real life... *Arya crying* Ah well
I remember the first time I read Pure. I'd actually only just finished Half-Blood, and anxious doesn't even begin to describe how I was feeling at that point. I seriously NEEDED to get my hands on the book. And believe me when I say it did not disappoint. I can't even begin to tell you how much I enjoyed it! There were parts in it that made me want to bawl my eyes out, and sections where I swear I would have killed Jennifer for what she did! My emotions were all over the place, and for those who have read a few of my other reviews, you know that's exactly what I love in a book. That ending though... that ending. I can't even tell you how much it pissed me off. I don't mean a piss-me-off-this-book-is-crap way, but a what-the-hell-how-can-you-just-leave-it-like-that way. That cliffhanger! Good God I wanted to strangle the woman! But I couldn't, because that would mean I wouldn't get to know the rest of the series, thereby making me cry. But really, Pure was, in my opinion, definitely one of the best books I've ever read. I should actually go read the series again now before Sentinel gets to my house... well then! Enjoy the rest of the tour!
Don't miss out! You'll never regret this use of your money!

For JLA – Pure has been called Seth’s book. Did fans reaction to Seth surprise you? I wasn’t really surprised by the reaction to Pure because I knew that the book focused more on Seth than Aiden.
For Alex - Knowing what you know about Leon, do you think there was more to him being the one to find you in labyrinth? Oh, I’m sure there was more to it.
For Aiden - By far, the zoo was the best scene in Pure. What did you enjoy most about being at the zoo with Alex? I loved knowing that I was doing something for her that made her happy.
For Seth – That whole sleeping issue that you and Alex have in Pure, did you realize what was up or were you just going with it? I would’ve just gone with it. But, truth? I knew what was up.
