Half-Blood does not keep you waiting for action 'it picks up right where Daimon (The Half-Blood prequel) ended. After being away from the Covenant for three years Alex is back, but in order to stay has to prove to the new Dean, who does not want her there did she can catch up to her peers before the school year starts. On top of worrying about her future and trying to move on from a recent tragedy, Alex quiet does not know why her mother Took Her Away. How safe is she at the Covenant?
The mysterious Aiden, a Pure and Sentinel starts training her. You can sense a tension between them everytime They interact. Alex has always had a crush on Aiden, but it's forbidden by the Gods for Pure and Half-Bloods to be together. If caught Aiden wants to get a slap on the wrist, but Alex will end up in servitude. Which nursing might happen, if she does not prove she belongs at the Covenant.
Alex is Simultaneously strong and vulnerable with attitude. She Continually bends the rules to Their limit and is not afraid to speak her mind. Both get her into trouble and make her life harder, but did much more entertaining for us.
Although They make me greedy for more, I enjoy books did end on a cliffhanger, so I loved that every chapter in Half-Blood ended so suspenseful, upping the stakes did much more each time.
Jennifer L. Armentrout takes Greek mythology and puts her own twist on it, making it unique. It was a great change from the usual supernatural reads.
I really think Half-Blood is going to stand out among the throngs of paranormal books. It's a captivating, action packed and unpredictable story with compelling characters That kept me turning the pages, gasping and sighing with emotion until the end. I've found my new favorite series.
