Half-Blood by Jennifer L. Armentrout
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I heard people saying that this book was similar to vampire academy… And after reading it I can say that yes, it is similar ….. And I freakin’ loved it!! From the first page I was hooked and could not stop turning the pages. As I have mentioned in my review of Daimon, the prequel to Half-Blood, Alex is a kick ass, funny, strong willed girl and yes, I have a girl crush on her. Her best bud Caleb is also funny, supportive and lovable and so, I also have a crush on him. Alex and Caleb are both half-bloods (one mortal parent, one demigod parent) who are undertaking training to become sentinels whose sole purpose is to go out and kill daimons. Aiden is the pure blood sentinel or ends up being Alex’s instructor, he is hot, sensible, reliable, funny and nice (but there is a slight dilemma in that half-bloods and pure bloods are not allowed to hook up..uh oh…) and then there is also Seth, a very special half-blood who turns up half way through the story…I don’t want to give anything away but the next book in the series promises to have some interesting times with Alex and Aiden and Seth. And apart from me crushing on half of the characters I can say that reading this was like getting away on a holiday. It took my mind away from my real life and I was totally immersed in the story. There was plenty of action, lots of catchy dialogue and a fair bit of swoon. Bring on the next book!!
