Daimon

The Prequel to Half-Blood

De: Jennifer L. Armentrout

Narrado por: Justine Eyre

"Love in my world usually ended up with someone hearing 'I smite thee!' as she was cursed to be some lame flower for the rest of her life."

For three years, Alexandria has lived among mortals pretending to be like them and trying to forget the duty she'd been trained to fulfill as a child of a mortal and a demigod. At 17, she's pretty much accepted that she's a freak by mortal standards…and that she'll never be prepared for that duty.

According to her mother, that’s a good thing.

But as every descendant of the gods knows, Fate has a way of rearing her ugly head. A horrifying attack forces Alex to flee Miami and try to find her way back to the very place her mother had warned her she should never return - the Covenant. Every step that brings her closer to safety is one more step toward death…because she's being hunted by the very creatures she'd once trained to kill.

The daimons have found her.

Amazing book

The book was very captivating. Enjoy the storyline can’t wait to start into the full series

Pretty good

Book is pretty good. I am pretty confused, and eager to hear the following books to see what happens; because curiosity always gets the best of me.

Good start!

So far I’m interested in this series! This was a good start! Definitely keeps you wanting more.

Waste of time and the narrator is horrendous

Hear me out because I know I have strong opinions for books I read/listen to - I like this series, I'm actually devouring and almost finished with book 1 right now. But this prequel isn't necessary, and the first bit of her and her lil boyfriend is a COMPLETE waste of filler fluff. We got a moment with her mom because of it but it honestly didn't give 'I love my daughter/mom SO much' vibes I think it was meant to give. The action started way too late for me but it was nice to have that information going into the first book. Was it necessary? No. But I'm glad to have had it.

The narrator, though...is horrendous. It should be a crime for her to ever narrate a book again. Every voice she has is nasally and bad, she has some kind of accent that she unsuccessfully tries to hide (not an issue of her having an accent; the issue is that she tries and fails to hide or do anything with it). Her male voices sound like the flea from Inuyasha, very nasally and 'I have a stuffed nose', and the tones are all the same. She over pronounces her letters. It's not 'mortal' with this girl; it's 'morTTTTTTTTal', and it's for every. Freaking. Word. If the series weren't so interesting, I definitely wouldn't have continued with it because it has the same narrator and I HATE it. She nearly turned me away from an entire series because she's THAT bad.

You should listen to this

It’s very suspenseful and leaves you on edge with a cliffhanger so you will have to ready the next book half blood

So glad I read it first!

This cannot be skipped and is a vital “prequel” novella to Covenant as a whole and shouldn’t be skipped. I loved how well the FMC was set up and you’re fully prepped to go into her full story knowing already who she is and what motivates her.

Gripping

The book started off with a little bit of a bang and didn't take long to turn into tnt! The main character seems like she could be the girl that sits next to you in math class. Then next thing you know she's strong and violent. I thought it cute that she was the savior on the beach, and that her man was a coward. Sorry not her man he definitely can't be called a man. After that book got more interesting. I honestly don't like the end though. Too many unanswered questions. It should've explained atleast 1 or 2 of the questions. I just feel like I was left without any solid explanations. There could've been a clearer understanding of who she was and at least a few hints of what's coming next. Trust and believe I will be reading this series beginning to end.

the story grabs you from page one, I had the mental image which allowed me to enjoy and be hooked on the story.

Loved it, I can’t wait hear the next book, the story is amazing and hooks you from the beginnin

engaging

I couldn't stop listening till I finished the book lol totally awesome a must read

Good prequel

I actually listened to all of the convent series before finding this gem, it’s a good history and how things were prior to her returning
