Welcome to fiercebookblogger.blogspot.com! This is my first blog and I'm going to review one my personal favorite books. It is by Jennifer L. Armentrout and it's called Half-Blood. This is a summary from Amazon.com
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.
When i bought this book i didn't have very high expectations but i fell in love with the story and characters. The beginning of the book was kind of slow but picked up before i got bored and then I was sucked right into the story and it didn't let me go once. Alex is a kick-ass teenage girl. She fights and has a smart mouth and i absolutely love her. Alex is hilarious . Her running commentary and  her Alex logic make half the book and keep you laughing all the way. Jennifer Armentrout creates such a wonderful female protagonist but also her male protagonist had me obsessing and my teachers yelling at me to put my kindle down! I didn't. Aiden St. Delphi, he is handsome and leaves you swooning way after you finish the story, funny (in a dry way), and so sweet! Any girl will fall in love with him. Completely and forever. The story flows and makes you wanna chuck the book (or kindle in my case) clear across the room in anger, frustration, happiness, and sadness. Since this is an honest book review i do have to go over the flaws. There are very minor spelling errors and some predictable parts but other than those two that's all the flaws i found. I recommend this book to 13 and up because of minor curses and sexual situations  This is a 5 book series. The final book hasn't come out yet. It will be out Fall 2013. YAY! But anyway, I give this book 5 stars because the plot is good and keeps the reader riveted, the characters are amazing (Seth is one of them, you will understand), and the syntax and dialogue are excellent. A must read!!!! So my readers please go pick this series up! Thanks, Cat!!
