Title: 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.
There are far too many scenes/moments I loved, but one of my favourite (and funniest) quotes from Half-Blood was:
Fans of Fantasy and Mythology books, YA or even Adult fiction fans. If you loved Percy Jackson and Vampire Academy series’, you’ll love the Covenant series.

happy reading!
The summary reminds me of the Vampire Academy, too, with the school and the whole crushing on her trainer part, plus like you said, they both have strong female leads, but other than that they seem very different. I think I'd really like this book, so it's definitely going on my TBR! Great review! ๐
Thank you so much, Jessica! You'll love this when you read it (:
