It’s here!!!
OMG!!! I cannot wait to see what trouble Seth can get into! We first met Seth
in the Covenant Series. He really is an awesome character and I’m so happy that
he is getting his own series! I can’t wait to gobble this down. The Return is a New Adult Paranormal Romance
and will be part of Jennifer L Armentrout’s titan Series.
THE RETURN
Synopsis:
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.

THE RETURN
Excerpt:
I
was a half-blood, but I was also the Apollyon, a child of a pure and a half, a
union that had been forbidden for thousands of years because an Apollyon was
more powerful than any pure or half could ever hope to be.
And
I always got to the traitors’ hideouts before they did, so the Sentinels were
usually left with the cleanup, which I was sure absolutely thrilled them.
The
first to enter was a female half-blood dressed just as I was. Her black hair
was pulled back in a neat little knot at the top of her head. She was older,
probably in her mid-thirties. It was pretty rare for a Sentinel to live that
long. Her dark skin paled as she stopped just inside the entrance. She clenched
titanium daggers in her hands like she expected something vicious to pop out
from under the bloody mess.
The
female Sentinel tipped her chin up, and the overhead light sliced across her
broad cheekbones. She bore a jagged scar under her right eye, the skin lighter
in tone. She saw me and froze.
My
smile widened.
Behind
her, another Sentinel rushed in, almost mowing her over. He saw me and
whispered, “Seth.”
He’d said my name
like I was the monster under his bed, and I sort of liked that. Then another
Sentinel and another rolled in. The fifth took one look at my interior design
work and keeled over. Slamming his hands on his knees, he hurled up his dinner.
Nice.
Our society
existed completely unknown to the average mortal and had operated under what
was known as the Breed Order for thousands of years. The Order had been
dismantled, which meant halfs were no longer forced to choose between becoming
Sentinels—hunting down violent creatures, protecting pures, enforcing laws, and
otherwise usually dying pretty damn quickly on the job—or servants, which was a
job that really wasn’t a job, but more like slavery. Since then, many pampered pures
had signed on to be Sentinels, making up for the loss of the halfs who’d pretty
much said
“Screw this shit,
I’m out.”
This wasn’t
necessarily a good thing.
For example, the
dumbass puking all over my blood-covered floor was a pure. When he straightened,
his face a greenish hue, he backed away, shaking his head. “I can’t,” he gasped
out. “I can’t do this.”
Then he turned
and hauled ass out the doors.
I
sighed. This was why we couldn’t have nice things.
