He volunteers to mentor Alex to catch her up to her peers. He is unlike any other hero Armentrout has written. She is the kind of character that really grows on you.Īiden is book boyfriend material.

Looking back, she really has grown a lot as a person. Her determination and loyalty towards her mom was moving. She was always throwing herself into stupid situations. Alex was sarcastic, reckless and full of life. Like most of Armentrout’s books, it’s fast-paced and the writing is highly enjoyable. I’m on Apollyon right now and the series has taken a very unique road. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t condone plagiarism, but the book does move away from the Vampire Academy story Line. I was surprised when they didn’t bother me that much. And that would kind of suck.īefore I read Half-Blood, I thought I was going to have trouble with all its similarities with Vampire Academy. If she fails in her duty, she faces a future worse than death or slavery: being turned into a daimon, and being hunted by Aiden. But falling for Aiden isn’t her biggest problem–staying alive long enough to graduate the Covenant and become a Sentinel is. Unfortunately, she’s crushing hard on the totally hot pure-blood Aiden. Alex has problems with them all, but especially rule #1:Relationships between pures and halfs are forbidden. There are several rules that students at the Covenant must follow. Seventeen-year-old Alexandria would rather risk her life fighting than waste it scrubbing toilets, but she may end up slumming it anyway. Half-bloods only have two options: become trained Sentinels who hunt and kill daimons or become servants in the homes of the pures.

Children of Hematoi and mortals–well, not so much. The Hematoi descend from the unions of gods and mortals, and the children of two Hematoi pure bloods have godlike powers.
