more like 2.5ish spoilers to Covenant beware. 
 I'm never fails to amaze me how compelling JLAs writing is. This book took me a day to fly through. I think that is why I always keep on coming back to her books. JLAs writing style is so easy to read and I keep on wanting more. Which is why I have read the majority of the books she's published (which is a lot). 
 I'm always scared when I read her books because there was a time when she used to be my favourite author--back when I first started reading. But then I started reading more and realized that she isn't exactly the best author and sometimes her characters act really stupid and get really fucking annoying. But since she was one of my first authors, I gotta love her. 
 First off covenant was one of my favourite series and still kinda is in a weird sort of way. I know that if I read it again my perspective would change. I would still nonetheless enjoy and like it, but it would change how I first saw this series and I don't want that. (That's what happened for me and Lux--now I don't reread books). 
 The Power starts out promising. I started reading and though "ok this could be a 4 star book". But I had so many problems with it right after I thought that, I totally jinxed myself. 
 The sex 
 This is NA I get that but fuck they spend half the book getting it on. You got other problems to worry about STOP! JLAs books mainly focus on the romance but this is ridiculous. There was basically nothing happening the first three quarters except for Josie having orgasms. Then the actual plot was squished into the remaining time not really giving me the action scenes I wanted. 
 Alex and Aiden 
 Alex and Aiden come back in this book. Just reading their names for the first time got me fangirling tbh. I've never really liked Aiden, I was always team Seth. But Alex, she was one of my favourite characters badass, funny, eccentric. But her character in this book was nothing compared to how she was in Covenant. JLA took everything I liked away from Alex, and it really disappointed me. But it's not just that but Alex and Aiden weren't needed in this book. Them being there felt pointless. 
 Seth 
 I love you, Seth, let me get that out of the way first. Seth has a lot of issues and I feel for him and I understand. The only thing that I don't like is how he is a fucking asshole to every goddamn person. I used to like the arrogant bad boy shit but frankly I'm getting tired of it now. 
 Does anyone else notice how Seth has no friends? Like come on he needs a friend. Give him a friend. 
 And Alex? Seth loved Alex, and maybe not in that way. But suddenly he doesn't care about her at all. The only person he cares about is Josie? That is so fucked up. Why the fuck did Seth sacrifice his life and afterlife for her if he doesn't even care about her. He fucking held her as she died in his arms. Seth. Stop. Be her friend again. 
 Josie 
 Don't get me started on you, Josie. Josie is whinny and does nothing this entire book. She is useless and doesn't take any charge until the end (when shit happens) and only because it involves Seth. There are more important things than him, honey. Like, I don't know .... SAVING THE WORLD. 
 Ugh. Please next book improve on these things although I know you won't. But I'm gonna read you anyways. HEHE
