Half-Blood is written in first person from Alex’s perspective. That being said, the characters in Half-Blood don’t have the typical human morals, which spices things up. Her other series have different species (whether it be aliens or demons) blending in with the humans rather than hiding from them. Unlike a lot of her paranormal books, the Covenant series mainly takes place in an island hidden from the humans. Can I borrow some of that luck because I need it lately. The gods must be on their side or something because there’s no way in h e double hockey sticks that someone can survive all that. Also, the main protagonist is always extremely lucky. First of all, most of romance in her YA books are forbidden because the boy and girl are different species. Now that I’ve read many of Armentrout’s young adult books, I’ve noticed a common theme among them. 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. Relationships between pures and halfs are forbidden. Alex has problems with them all, but especially rule #1: 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. Goodreads page This review is free of spoilers.
