Review: OH MY GOD!! I NEED ONE OF THESE BOYS!!! I adored this book so freaking much. I thought the concept was brilliant and the love wasn't cheesy. The action was intense and held my attention. Can not wait for the next book! Trinity is my new home girl!

I love everything and I mean everything about this novel. The cover is spectacular and I could stare at it for hours and I probably have. I met Trinity in NYC this past summer, but I hadn’t read TMC yet and now I can’t believe I was so close to her she is amazing!! The Mephisto Covenant pulled at my heart and had me on the edge of my seat with each flip of the page.

Sasha, I didn’t understand in the first few pages, I thought she was reckless and didn’t get it. When I read in a few more pages it all made sense and my heart went out for her and her situation. Then that scene in the warehouse happened and I was like shut the front door no freaking way who are these gorgeous bad boys. Which leads me to the next point I want to talk about. Every character in this novel has a background complex and yet endearing. We don’t understand them and yet there is a promise that we will in the future which is what I love.

The mythology is breathtaking and done like no other author has before. Trinity has taken Ajax and the Mephisto and made it her own, instantly gaining my respect. The funny thing is after I read this novel, I found like little bits of this mythology everywhere I looked. I can’t believe I had missed it all before.

Jax was well a little annoying but entirely sincere and endearing which made up for it completely. I need to find a guy like him *sigh*. Well maybe I can I just need a birthmark and one of his brothers to find me!! Well a girl can hope can’t she!!

This novel is intense and I mean it. There is never a moment you can relax, which is great because I couldn’t stop reading and even though it was a school night I stayed up into the squeaky hours of the morning. I didn’t even regret it the next day as I walked around like a zombie and dragged my butt through that horrid mile pacer in PE *Shudder*. I can’t express how much I think you need to read this novel. I am starving for the next Trinity has promised me will come from another brothers point of view!! Deffinitly a book you will not want to miss!!
