Pure (Covenant #2) Review



Title: Pure
Series: Covenant
Author: Jennifer L. Armentrout
Pages: 329

     I'm not sure how to summarize this book...basically Alex gets closer and closer to Seth, and because of their connection he comforts her a lot. The daimons keep killing and killing. They infiltrate the Covenants, and this causes the gods to send the furies, who if released with kill anything in their path. Aiden and Alex realize they can't be together, and Alex must choose between Seth and Aiden.

     This book was REALLY good, and in my opinion a lot less predictable. It was really depressing because someone dies...I actually cried. I really hate that Seth and Alex are getting closer because AIDEN IS THE ONE, AND SETH AND THE BREED ORDER KEEP GETTING IN THE WAY! FOR THE LOVE OF ALL DAIMON BABIES WHY CAN'T THEY JUST BE TOGETHER!? I mean I know that would ruin the book...but hey, a girl can dream. I like Seth, but *5th grade girl voice* I don't like like him. I fell in love with Aiden first, sooooo ya he's amazing, and Seth is a jerk...most of the time. That's all folks! Bub-bye!

City of Heavenly Fire

Half-Blood (Covenant #1) Review


Title: Half-Blood
Series: Covenant
Author: Jennifer L. Armentrout
Pages: 281

     In this book there are pures (offspring of pure and pure) and half-bloods (offspring of pure and human). Pures have godly powers, and are all..how do I say it? High up? Basically pures are considered better than half-bloods. Pures can basically do whatever they want when they grow up, but half-bloods can either protect pures and hunt daimons (demons) or be forced into slavery for pures, with some type of potion thing (not really sure what to call it).

     Alex is a half-blood who's mom, for some unknown reason (you'll find out if you read the book) had taken her away from the school that all pures and half-bloods go to. During that time Alex's mom dies, and Alex is found by some Sentinels (the daimon hunters as said above). Alex is taken back to the school, but is very far behind on her training. Alex has the choice of either becoming a servant or living with her step father and taking only normal classes (not daimon hunting ones), but one of the Sentinels, Aiden, volunteers to help get Alex back up to speed. The Dean allows it, and Alex must be caught up by the start of school, or else. And I'm not sure what else to tell you guys with out ruining the book, so I'll start the review.


     I was really excited to read this book because I loved Jennifer's series Lux, and of course I really loved this book as well, but it was really predictable, and SO SO SO much like Vampire Academy. If you replaced Aiden with Dimitri and Alex with Rose in some parts, you would not be able to tell the difference. I of course loved Vampire Academy, so I really liked this book anyways. My advice is to read this book, I could not put it down,but that's kinda how I am with every book, but anywayssss READ IT! That's all for this review...MY VERY FIRST...sorry it's really short, but hey, I'll get better!
