Narration In Favor Of Books Half-Blood (Covenant #1)
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.Describe Books Supposing Half-Blood (Covenant #1)

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 Im 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. ITS LIKE A TEN YEAR OLD WAS GIVEN A FREE PASS AT WRITING FANSurely 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 Academy
Anything by my queen, Jennifer, is freakingtastic-mindblowing AMAZING!!
You will kill the ones you love.Fate had been right about that. Blurb: The Hematoi descend from the unions of gods and mortals, and the children of two Hematoi pure bloods have godlike powers.

Re-read 30/9/13:Re-reading this book was like visiting an old friend with a great sense of humour! I fell in love with this series all over again from the very first page - the tale of Alex, the kickass halfblood heroine, and her journey, one that I will never, ever tire of :)Original Review"It was him - Aiden St.Delphi."As soon as I read that I was all like, "Oooooh yeah. She's got it baaaaaad." But then I read about how pures and halfs can't be together and I was all: Shit. Is. Going. To. Go.
More VA similarities come out here and here. And that's not even my entire list of similarities. I just got tired of marking them all (because there were so many) when it started getting down to them both having rose necklaces as a significant thing and other random little details sprinkled throughout just about everywhere.*edit* July 2012*. Sigh. Eff it. I really didn't want to have a star rating on this book because of my mixed feelings (good and bad) but since I'm not risking having yet
SPOILER ALERT **THERE ARE SPOILERS FOR BOTH VAMPIRE ACADEMY (the whole series) AND HALF BLOOD BELOW***Similarities Between Half-Blood and Vampire Academy EVERY. SINGLE. THING.*CAUTION* if you're looking for originality this is not the book for you. It's like the author just took Vampire Academy and changed all the names. The only character missing from this story is Lissa. Read below for details*EDIT* Apparently Lissa is in this book as well. You know the connection that Rose and Lisa have that
