Half-Blood
Ratings34
Average rating3.7
The Hematoi descend from the unions of gods and mortals, and the children of two Hematoi–pure bloods–have godlike powers. Children of Hematoi and mortals–well, not so much.
Half-bloods only have two options: become trained sentinels who hunt and kill daimons or become servants in the homes of the pures.
Seventeen-year-old Alexandria would rather risk her life fighting than waste it scrubbing toilets, but she may end up slumming it anyway. There are several rules that students at the Covenant must follow. Alex has problems with them all, but especially rule #1:
Relationships between pures and halfs are forbidden.
Unfortunately, she’s crushing hard on the totally hot pure-blood Aiden. But falling for Aiden isn’t her biggest problem–staying alive long enough to graduate the Covenant and become a Sentinel is. 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.
And that would kind of suck.

I do not want to get into who copied who with this book, but I was completely unable to fully enjoy this book because it was basically Vampire Academy. There are way too many similarities that make it impossible for me to separate them. I really enjoyed VA and this made it impossible to not compare when reading this. For me, the only true differences based on this first installment are the words used to describe things and the fact that it is mythology rather than vampires.
I will continue with the next book to see if the similarities continue but I'm very hesitant to say I enjoyed this book. It was a quick read and I did like the relationship between Aiden and Alex.
Super immature main character who thinks she can do whatever she wants without consequence, and thinks that everyone is out to get her. It wants to be sexy and fun but definitely a lower YA book thats trying to market itself up to upper YA.
