Daimon: The Prequel to Half-Blood (Covenant)

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 seventeen, 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. - Amazon.

                My Review
So glad I read this before I read Half-Blood. Honestly- or I'd be so confused. Great read, I loved it and I'm currently working on reading Half-Blood which is AMAAAAZZZZIIINNNGG!!! I thought it'd be like Percy Jackson but it's not to me. Alex reminds me of Rose Hathaway from Vampire Academy. Sassy and funny. I sympathized for her over losing her mother, it was a sad thing to read about. The whole, "The daimons have found her." thing doesn't make sense to me. What's so terrible about it? Because- as far as I am in Half-Blood... I guess it's only because she went away from the covenant. Makes sense I guess. I loved the prequel and I think more books should have one because it helps explain everything. Read this before Half-Blood. Obviously. I'm excited to finish the series.
