It is awesome.
So, what's the book about?
Synopsis:
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.

Next, Aiden St. Delphi. Oh yes. He is one smoking fella. I absolutely love the fact that he is twenty... made my life! I absolutely love when a love interest is older than the main character. Aiden is so much more than that though. He has a rough past, and yet he still is so strong and so caring. The respect and compassion he has for Alex just completely stole my heart. He understands her and instructs her with the perfect tenderness. Plus, he has a guitar and a pick collection... HOW HOT IS THAT?! And FIRE?! Just keeps on getting hotter...!
ReplyDeleteI've never really thought about that, but now that you've mentioned that, I agree! I will never read a book with the male in the couple being younger than the female. I don't know why, but the guy must always be older!:P
DeleteI love that he had a rough past too, and his brooding attitude. :D He's sexy too, and yes on the tenderness and guitar part! But the collection's a little....girly? I thought only girls were that meticulous to display their collections, pictures and stuff.. But he is still such a male and an imagination candy. Haha, y'know, eye candy? ;D
