About this listen

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.

Great story and characters but the narrators voice was very irratating. love the story line and will listen to the other books. Shame about the narrator, when she did male voices it was very croaky for all charachters and irratating. Sounds like a frog

This was my first experience with Jennifer L Armentrouts writing. I was curious to explore her style, and I can see why her work appeals to so many readers. If you enjoyed The Shadowhunters series, you’ll find this book offers similar vibes. Honestly, if I had read it when I was younger, I probably would have been obsessed. However, my tastes have shifted over time. While I still enjoy YA on occasion, I find myself craving stories with more mature themes.

The storyline was engaging, and I appreciated the mix of Greek mythology, action, and forbidden romance. That said, I struggled to connect deeply with the characters, even though I do share a name with the main character, Alex. I also found it hard to fully immerse myself in a solo-narrated audiobook. Personally, I think duet or dual narration creates a more dynamic listening experience, unless I’m revisiting a story I already know.

As a fan of The Shadowhunters, I enjoyed this book for its familiar atmosphere, though it didn’t quite hook me enough to dive into the next installment right away. I do plan to continue the series eventually to see how the story unfolds, but for now, I’m more excited to explore other books by Jennifer L. Armentrout.

it didn't take long for me to get engrossed in this book from the vast majority of films and books I've read I recognized some of the characters I really enjoyed this especially as my eyes didn't hurt trying to read it audible is ace which if I'm honest I didn't think I'd get into it as I like to relax with a book but it's easier I would recommend this book if you like fiction and supernatural. also I recommend audible it's soothing by the pool walking and in bed. 👍 xx
