Surely this book is illegal. I mean, someone once tried to sue J.K. Rowling because their book included a kind of wizard sport tournament similar to the one found in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, they claimed she had stolen the idea from them... and this small matter takes up such a minuscule percentage of the novel! Not to mention the fact that no one I knew had ever heard of the guy's novel before...Now, pretty much everyone I speak to has heard of - if not read - the Vampire Academ

In Daimon, the short story prequel, Alex’s mother was killed by a group of Strigoi daimons, but Alex was lucky enough to escape. At the beginning of Half-Blood, she is found by Dimitri Aiden and other Guardians Sentinels and returned to the Covenant, where she hopes to continue her education. However, the dean is none too happy with her. She has lost three years of training and he thinks she shouldn’t be allowed to rejoin her classmates. Instead, he wants to give her the elixir which will turn h...

Paranormal/fantasy books are not my favorite genre, but every once in a while I like to read one to change things up a bit. This one had been sitting on my TBR list for quite some time and when I saw the Audible edition on sale, I decided that it was as good a time as ever to finally give it a listen. While I'd by lying if I said that it was the kind of book that makes me fall in love with the characters and rush out to grab a copy of the next book in the series, I can't deny that I enjoyed it.T...

unsurprisingly, the queen of YA paranormal has done it again. from aliens to angels and gargoyles, i have never not enjoyed a JLA book. and now i can add the conflict between half-blood children of gods and daimons to the list of things that entertain me. there is such an innocent quality to JLAs writing. it takes me back to a simpler time when a story didnt need much to impress me - just easy writing, relatable characters, and a fun story. although, i do wish this had more greek mythology prese...

Every once in a while a reader might be fortunate enough to stumble upon a piece of published literature that makes them feel SO BLOOD ADEQUATE as an aspiring author.For me, this book has done it. If this stuff can be published and loved then I think I’m gonna be a best-selling author in multiple universes. Name your most hated clichéd tropes, kids and I will guarantee you will find them in this book. :) 1. The writing is so immature. IT’S LIKE A TEN YEAR OLD WAS GIVEN A FREE PASS AT WRITING F...

"There's nothing like a bunch of catty teenagers who could either kick your ass halfway across the country or set you on fire with a mere thought. That alone changed who people picked fights with or became friends with. And at the end of the day, it was always good to have a Firestarter in your back pocket." Okay soooo As a HUGE Vampire Academy fan please allow me to adress the whole "It's just like V.A. Issue"..... Well it did have several moments especially in the beginning as well as the co

UGH! Now I have to wait until April to find out if she gets her head on straight and realizes Seth is her man!!! LOL! Loved this book =)

^this is to all the h8ers who don't appreciate some good YA paranormal angstbc this shit was... good??? i've been pretty let down by a lot of YA lately shatter me so it was kind of refreshing to read something that was nice and entertaining.now let's be clear: this book isn't going to win any awards for like, achievements in literature but it was FUN. we have "pure" blooded hematoi (descendent from Greek gods) and we've got, you guessed it, half bloods. both breeds fight daimons which are pure b...

"Always beware of the one who needs you. There is always a want behind a need, you see.” Was this extremely similar to Vampire Academy?Yes.........Did I still guiltily love it?..................Also, yes.🙈🥰Hear me out, though. Despite this series being considered a total rip-off of Vampire Academy, that's only just the first two books. After that, JLA really does get into her own world of things and it's just so amazing.🥺Alexandria (a.k.a. Alex) Andros (17 y/o) is just like Rose—the stubborn

Half-Blood is book one in the Covenant series by Jennifer Armentrout. The world Jennifer has created in this series is both disturbing and amazing. This book has both intense action and sweet love. I was hooked on page one. Alexandria or Alex for short is a Half-Blood. Her mother is a pure and her father whom she never met was a mortal. Pures are like the royalty. Half-Bloods not so much. Halfs are either trained as Sentinels who hunt and kill daimons or they are forced into servitude f

First I would like to say I've never given a book 1 star, because I think that just the dedication of an author earns him at list 2 stars. The second thing is that I think that's the longest review I've ever wrote. It says something.This book doesn't deserve rating at all. Because it was a perfect copy of Vampire Academy series. And not in a good way.I'm utterly disappointed and upset with Jennifer L. Armentrout. How can she do that? How did the publishers let her publish a book that is a copy o...

I might have rated this book higher had I read this before Richelle Mead's Vampire Academy series. As it stands, the characters and the plot all feels like a very watered down version of VA. I couldn't help comparing one character to the next, and they all felt lacking. The premise is slightly different, but the boarding school setting, the reviled and necessary half-bloods, the evil daimons/strigoi, all felt rehashed, and not in a good way.Alex is Rose, without the spunk, with more slut-shaming...

Fast-paced and infused with JLA humor that has since become the norm when I read her books. Felt like the school aspect of the plot was a bit unrealistic (haven't read Vampire Academy so not sure if it was an issue in that one too) but I could be a bit biased in boarding school-related settings. Liked the main character, Alex, and Aiden, her teacher-crush. Seth was by far the favorite but he didn't have too many parts in this one. I loved how she shares the same role as Seth and he doesn't get a...
