Half-Blood is the first of the Covenant series. As I am a huge Armentrout fan, I have been really looking forward to digging into this series. Half-Blood certainly did not disappoint.

Alex is what is known as "half-blood". Her mother was a "pure blood" who committed the unthinkable act of mating with someone who was not "pure". That is how Alex came to be. Alex's mother found out something about Alex and her future via a magical oracle. Because of her fears for her daughter, she took her daughter and they escaped the established government known as the covenant.
As the story begins, Alex is rescued and brought back to the covenant. Her rescuer is a pure blood named Aiden. Aiden and Alex become friends. Alex has a difficult time acclimating back to her life in the covenant. Aiden makes it his mission to train her and help her.

While training together, Alex begins to fall for Aiden. She falls hard and fast.
“Two people see each other across a room or their skin brushes. Their souls recognize the person as their own. It doesn’t need time to figure it. The soul always knows… whether it’s right or wrong.”
Aiden is also falling for her. The two of them are torn between what is right and wrong. The training and time spent together builds a beautiful friendship that blossoms into love. Aiden has been through so much heart break himself. He feels drawn to protect and care for Alex. Aiden knows it is more important to protect Alex then to give in to his emotions. Just as things begin to heat up, they are interrupted.
“People do the damndest things when they’re in love.”

As if things are not tangled enough for Alex, Seth enters the picture. Seth is the Apollyon. Alex has a strange connection to him. She doesn't necessarily like him but she is drawn to him just the same.
There are so many amazing twists and turns in this opening to the series. All I can say is, read it! Alex is an amazing heroine full of passion, wit, and spunk! (My favorite type of heroine by the way)! This was an amazing read and I am so glad that I checked this series out! Half-blood lays the foundation of what promises to be an unforgettable journey into another world!
