While this book wasn't nearly as action-packed as the short story that preceded it, I still really liked this book.

Half-Blood picks up immediately where Daimon leaves off. Alex gets picked up by the Covenant, and it is decided that she is going to train there over the summer with her former crush, Aiden, in order for her to try and catch up to where she needs to be. If she doesn't progress quickly enough, however, she'll be sentenced to a fate worse than death for her: servitude to the Pures.

But everything is not as it seems in Alex's life. Something is going to come to light that will change her life forever. Will Alex be able to cope with everything going on with her past as well as what her future holds? And will she be able to deal with training with Aiden day in and day out knowing that she has the hots for him?

This was a great beginning to the series. We get to see a bit more into the world that the author is building, and we get to see more into the character of Alex, as well as meeting some new people. The "plot-twists" were horribly predictable for me, and I guessed every single one way before it happened. But, the overall story still stood.

Seeing Alex and Aiden interact is great. I can't wait to see where Ms. Armentrout takes them. This is a great series so far, and I can't wait to see what happens next!
