could fight their nature, the hatred roaring through their veins, they could earn a chance at heaven like any other mortal.
They had to love selflessly, Not just love selflessly, but love an Anabo, a girl who was just as light as he was dark.

This book was amazing, Just astounding. I can't get over the beauty, I love the artistic license Trinity used, Not to mention, the last line of the book: Killer, it just made me gasp, I raved over it during breakfast this morning, It just filled me with contentment, I've never been happier with a book ending, The negatives would be cussing and an explicit relationship mildly graphic, but I absolutely recommend this book, When it comes out, I'm buying one for my shelf, It must be a really good week for me because The Mephisto Covenant is going on The Shelf of Fame.
In my opinion, this book is better than Becca Fitzpatricks Hush, Hush by football fields, better it had a plot, plenty of conflicts both physical and mentally and better yet, I felt that the characters progressed throughout the series.
As a Christian, I didn't agree with some of the biblical aspects, but most of them are interpretational, Nevertheless, let me remind you that it's fiction, and I still recommend the book,

Seventeenyearold Sasha Annenkova wants nothing more than to learn the truth behind her fathers murder in Russia years earlier.
When a group of students at her Oakland high school tell her of a club called the Ravens, a group that pledges to give up God and serve Eryx in exchange for being granted whatever they want, she jumps at the chance to discover what really happened to her father.
At the Ravens meeting she is shocked, however, when they inform her that she is Anabo, a daughter of Eve, pure and untempted by sin, with the power to destroy Eryx.
The Ravens have lured her to their secret location to kill her, ending the threat she poses to the one they serve, and they almost succeed until she is rescued by Ajax DeKyanos.
Ajax, or Jax, informs her that he is Mephisto, a son of the dark angel Mephistopholes, as are his brothers, including the oldest, Eryx.
Thousands of years earlier, Jax and his brothers were promised by God that if they found an Anabo and were able to make her love them, they would be redeemed and able to worthy of heaven, fulfilling the Mephisto Covenant.
Eryx, however, chose to seek power, and is attempting to recruit souls to help him overthrow Lucifer, creating Hell on Earth.
Jax immediately falls in love with Sasha, but, although she is attracted to him, Sasha isnt sure that she can love a son of Hell.
As the threat from Eryx grows, will Jax be able to achieve the redemption he has sought for thousands of years
Convoluted, schizophrenic and, at times, just plain silly, this first installment in a new paranormal series of young adults is difficult to recommend to any reader for several reasons.
Although there is some interesting concepts in the book the idea of the Mephisto Covenant, the importance of the daughters of Eve, etc.
, so much of the novel is downright strange, making it hard to get through allpages, To begin with, the novel opens with the main character getting stoned, Not stoned in the sense of recreational drugs, but with actual stones being thrown at her in an attempt to quell her Anabo spirit.
Readers should be warned from this initial curious incident that they are in for something unsettling, but the novel continues to plow forward into the uncomfortable.
Events in the book include but are not limited to attempted rape, physical assault, murder, molestation, torture by hot poker, and an incredibly graphic sex scene for a young adult book.
There are also so many references to breasts in the novel, its almost laughable, Every chapter seems to mention breasts, something that would be okay if done in the right context, but is so strange in this novel that it becomes funny.
Overall, its nearly impossible to recommend this book to any teen reader, even those who are diehard paranormal romance fans.
The sequel, The Mephisto Kiss, is set to be released in September, Hopefully it will improve upon the absurdity of the first novel,
Wow. Its not very often that I really dislike a book, but Im sorry to say that I really disliked this book.
It was just so odd, and I kept waiting for it to improve but it never did, The quasidualnarration between Sasha and Jax was odd, the backstory was incredibly convoluted, and the storyline was strangely violent/sexually charged.
It was like a novel that was meant for an adult audience, but was watered down unsuccessfully to pass as young adult.
I would have a whole lot of trouble recommending this book to a teen, especially since there is nothing about the plot that is enjoyable enough to make navigating through all the terrible things that happen to Sasha worthwhile.
Sorry! Amazing!!! One of my favorite series, This has all the elements of YA fiction I don't like, There's instalove to the max in this book, As soon as they see each other they're stuck by how "beautiful" and "perfect" each other is, I clearly remember the guy saying some dumb crap like, "I've smelt you, so now you're mine, " WTF. If some guy said that to me I'd tell him he's psycho and to get the fuck away from me.
I totally hate the tacky infodumping and how he mind wipes her but she somehow STILL likes him when they meet each other again and have enough time to make out in the snow.
Oh, and let's not forget about her, The main girl is supposedly descended from Eve or whatever so she's got this wonderfully PURE and INNOCENT soul.
Oh and let's add on to the fact that she's a virgin and has NEVER been kissed before until our lovely cough male love interest makes out with her.
Gag me now.
The guy is a creeper to the max, He ALWAYS has to know where she is and when he does he like stalks her around, sneaks into her room, and what not.
GROSS. I'm sorry but after reading approximatelypages of this, I am so not going to try anymore, This is so NOT my thing,
I mean, I was interested with the whole Russian spy business and KGB and CIA stuff, The whole what if Eve had a kid before Adam was a mildly intriguing plot line too but the nasty characters and yucky romance that started devouring everything in sight, I had to totally pass.
Pretty bad when even a supposed hot and wild sex scene at the end of the book can't entice you enough to keep reading.
sigh Erm. Kitabı bitirdiğimde ''Oh be sonunda başardım!Sonunda bu kitabı bitirebildim!'' diye sevinç naraları atıyordum.
Mefisto'yu yaklaşıkay önce kitap fuarından almıştım, Bu kitabı alırken ne düşünüyordum bilmiyorum, Ama benim için ciddi bir hayal kırıklığı oldu,aydır elimde sürünüyor, Ve nihayet bitirmeyi başarabildim, Kitabı bitirmeye çabalarken kaç kez yarıda bırakıp başka kitaplara başladım bilmiyorum,
Konudan bahsetmek istiyordum, Ancak o kadar uzun zamandır okuyorum ki konunun genel hatlarını unuttum, Ama karakterlerden bahsetmezsem olmaz. Çünkü hem kızı hem oğlanı sevmedim, Jax bir Mefisto cehenem çocuğu, kayıp ruhları yakalayıp yeryüzü cehennemine götürmekle görevli Sasha ise Anabo.
Jax'ın cennete gitme şansını elde edebilmesi ve Eryx'e karşı verdikleri Eryx kitaptaki kötü adam oluyor mücadelede daha fazla mefistoya sahip olabilmek için mefisto çocukları doğurabilecek bir anaboya ihtiyacı var.
Bu anaboda Sasha oluyor. Jax ile Sasha karşılaşır karşılaşmaz bir anda birbirlerine tutuluveriyorlar, Herhalde bu insanlar doğaüstü varlıklar olunca birbirlerini tanıma ihtiyacı duymadan direk aşık oluyorlar, Sashanın Mefisto olabilmesi için bir Mefisto tarafından işaretlenmesi lazım, Kısacası Jax onunla yatarsa Sasha işaretlenmiş olacak, Jax ilk başlarda Sashayı işaretleyip Mefistoya dönüştürmek istemiyor, Onun aydınlık ruhunu karanlığa çekmemek için falan filan, Ama kızı öpmeden de duramıyor, Ki bu öpüşmeler Sashayı yavaş yavaş Mefisto yapıyor,
Normalde kitapta dediğine göre bir anabonun mefisto olup olmayacağına özgür iradesiyle karar vermesi gerekiyor.
Ama nedense herkes Sasha'yı mefisto olması için ya sıkıştırıyor ya da korkak olduğunu söylüyorlar.
Nerede kaldı bu özgür irade!
Sasha ise zavallı kız dünyadan bir haber, Bir anda anabo olduğunu öğreniyor, ilk görüşte Jax'a tutuluyor, Sonra da Jax Jax diye sayıklayıp duruyor kitap boyunca, Çocuğun yüzüne karşı hem 'seni istemiyorum, ben mefisto olamam ' diyor hem de en ufak bir sıkıntısında Jax yardımına koşunca 'senin için ölüyorum, senden başkasıyla olamam modlarına dönüyor.
Sonra tekrar en başa dönüyoruz, Bir de ikide bir ağlaması beni sinir etti, Anabolar doğaları gereği saf bir yapıya sahipler, Günah işlemiyorlar. Sasha ise anabolar arasında kesinlikle en saf olanı, Hatta öyle bir saflık ki bir noktadan sonra sıkmaya başladı, Jax için bütün hayatını değiştirmesi beni bu kızdan soğutan en büyük etken diyebilirim.
Seriye devam etmeyi düşünmüyorum, Büyük ihtimalle diğer kitaplarda da başka mefisto oğlanlar saf anaboları bulup 'işaretleyecek' lerdir.
