What can I say, her books are light and easy to read with sarcastic and relatable main characters and swoon-worthy male love interests. I may be a little biased due to the fact that I am borderline obsessed with Jennifer L. She is doing this with the knowledge that she has to kill someone she loves… She is determined to become a sentinel which is the highest honor a Half-Blood can receive. We follow Alex who is trying to prove that she can catch up the three years of training she missed before classes start back up. Three years later Daimons find Alex and mom and so do the Sentinels. Alex has no idea why her Mom would risk running into daimons when they are safe and protected on Deity Island. In the case of Half-Blood, Alex’s Mom takes her away from the Covenant and they hide among humans. In both books, we have two girls who run away from their school due to an unknown threat. Half-Bloods are either servants or, if they are lucky, they train to be either a guard or a sentinel. Pures have it the best, the can be on the council, be a guard, or a sentinel which is a group of fighters that hunt and kill demons.

In Half-Blood, there are the Pures, a race of beings that descend from the Greek gods, and the Half-Blood, an offspring of a Pure and a human. Dhampirs are trained to guard and protect the Moroi.

There are also 2 races of Vampires the Moroi, which are pure vampires and they’re protected by the Dhampire which are half-vampires. In vampire academy, the supernatural beings are, you guessed it, Vampires. I am a huge fan of books with a boarding school that trains students to be bad a** fighters and everyone at the school is some sort of supernatural being. There is definitely nothing wrong with that however, the two series are extremely similar. I feel like it is very safe to say that this book was inspired by the Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead but with a greek twist. 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. But falling for Aiden isn’t her biggest problem–staying alive long enough to graduate the Covenant and become a Sentinel is. Unfortunately, she’s crushing hard on the totally hot pure-blood Aiden. Alex has problems with them all, but especially rule #1:Relationships between pures and halfs are forbidden. There are several rules that students at the Covenant must follow. Seventeen-year-old Alexandria would rather risk her life fighting than waste it scrubbing toilets, but she may end up slumming it anyway. Half-bloods only have two options: become trained Sentinels who hunt and kill daimons or become servants in the homes of the pures. Children of Hematoi and mortals–well, not so much. The Hematoi descend from the unions of gods and mortals, and the children of two Hematoi pure-bloods have godlike powers.
