Book Review:

            Covenant is the 3rd of 14 parts of a story broken down into 14 books.  In this story Aislinn and Dylan come closer together.  They are staying together because of Aislinn’s apartment being broken into, but emotionally they are connecting also.  Aislinn continues to see auras.  Aislinn is told of a crystal skull at her work Christmas party and goes to see it after work that same day.
            The antique store owner won’t sell it.  He is holding it until the rightful owner arrives for it and a special box that belongs to Dylan somehow.  Christmas at Aislinn’s parents turns into a nightmare when they are attacked.  She and Dylan divert the attack with the help of the skull, but the day is ruined.  Returning home they confess their feelings for each other and then learn they must open the door for Altithronus.
            This was a gripping installment of the story.  It’s like you say ‘finally’ when they admit their feelings for each other because you knew it was going to happen.  They also find out how strong they are, why they are there, and what they need to do next.  It would be hard to be in their position, but in a world where only 1/3 of the people are still alive stranger things could happen.

            I give part 3 of the Samsara Chronicles 4 out of 5 clouds.
