Title: Half-Blood
Author: Jennifer L. Armentrout
Series: #1 Covenant
Published by: Spencer Hill Press
Pages: 281
Rating: 3.7 Stars
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. ~ Goodreads

My Review
This book was very interesting. It was funny, sad, had lots of action and it was a story that you could really get into. Hmmm, sounds familiar, I could have sworn I've read another book that had all that as well. What was it again? Oh, that right, Vampire Academy.
The similarities between HB and VA, was pretty much everything. But lucky for HB I've read VA so many time that it was sort of nice to have something the same but different, so I'm not going to go all psycho on Jennifer L. Armentrout, who just might have copyrighted from Rachelle Mead, who is probably on my Top 5 favourite authors.
Once I put all the similarities between VA and HB under the table, it turns out that i really liked HB. It basically had everything in it that made me also fall in love with VA.
If you've read VA I still suggest giving HB a read, and if you haven't read VA then you'll have no problem with falling getting really into this story.
So yes an interesting read, but I dont regret it.
