The previous books have all been in Alex’s point of view, but with this novella we got to read from Aiden’s perspective instead. After the events in, “Deity”, Alex had Awakened, and she was fully in Apollyon mode. With her connection to Seth at an all time high, Alex wasn’t the same person we knew and loved, she was power hungry and determined to be by Seth’s side. Aiden, Marcus, Apollo, and the others had to keep Alex hidden in the meantime while they searched for a solution to break the connection between Alex and Seth. Some solutions ended up being the last thing Aiden wanted for Alex, but these were circumstances that pushed them to doing things they never thought they’d have to do.

I liked the novella because, not only did I get to read from Aiden’s perspective, but also see right away what happened in the cliffhanger of, “Deity”. Aiden has always been a fighter, especially for those he loved, but he was pushed to make decisions in order to keep Alex safe, or in this case pushed to do things in order to break off her connection with Seth. This was a short, to the point novella that surprisingly revealed a bit more information that will play a bigger role in the next book. The ending of this novella as well showed that Aiden and the rest of the gang had a renewed sense of hope, and were determined to do whatever was necessary to save Alex, and fingers crossed get her back in order to take down Seth and Lucian.
