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. She has a way of dragging you head first into her stories and pulling you along for the bumpy, thrilling ride, ultimately craving more.Blurb from Goodreads:The Hematoi descend from the unions of gods and mortals, and the children of two Hematoi-pure-bloods-have godlike powers.

I have yet to read anything from her that I did not like! I can honestly say that Armentrout is one of my favorite writers. Jennifer Armentrout is just one of those writers that knows what she's doing. After reading Daimon, I knew I was in a for a huge adventure reading the next book. So, I finally got around to starting this series. Where oh where to begin with my review of this totally awesome book. That's all folks.Happy Reading :)5 out of 10 Read more Armentrout's writing always brings a smile to my face and warms my heart. While she does have a huge chip on her shoulder, she also has a strength that I like to see in the heroines that I read about.I don't think I'll be continuing on in the series, but I was happy that I read this book. The romance between instructor and student was interesting and I really liked the character Alexandria. which sort of worked.While this book didn't blow me out of the water, I still enjoyed reading it. It's been said, it did bother me, but I was prepared and I tried focusing on Half-Blood as separate work. From there, romance, danger and adventure ensue!Now I've read enough reviews online of this book gushing over the fact that Half-Blood is a slightly altered version of the Vampire Academy books, I'm not going to spend my review talking about this. The school assigns Aiden, a particularly gifted Sentinel, to train her. For Alexandria, serving the Hematoi has never been an option.After her mom took her out of the Covenant academy to take out on the run, she returns to school finding herself far behind her classmates and in need of some extra help. They have two options in life: to be trained as a warrior and protector of the Hematoi, called a Sentinel, or be forced into servitude.

The offspring of Hematoi and Humans however do not. Pure Hematoi have exceeding strength and powers. As a new fan of Richelle Mead, I was pretty dumbfounded with the obvious similarities.Half-Blood tells the story of a sort of demigod race. I have to say that while I did enjoy reading this book, I was somewhat disappointed with the similarities between Half-Blood and the Vampire Academy series.

Armentrout just after finishing Obsidian, which was a stellar read. I began reading Half-Blood by Jennifer L.
