Summary

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.

Fun read

This book is a good example for the new trend of YA literature. A strong young woman- a teenager- coming to grips with her powers and the traditions she grew up with and fights to find her place in the world.
Good female characters, interesting plot, fun read.

Thrilling

I am a huge fan of sagas as Hunger games, vampire academy and so on, but I also like Greek mythology. The composition of ancient history and modern times, gives you a good saga to binge on. I’m going straight to the next book

It's a must read!

Honestly one of the best books I have listened to in a while! Got a mix of god's, powers and romance. The reader is a bit annoying and drawly at times but you soon get used to it and doesn't do a half bad job by the end of it. This definitely is a book that you will end up listening to in a day, and it's a nice easy listen.

Surprisingly great 👍

Pleasantly surprised by the plot, although there were too many shifts of demons for me.
