Covenant Series by Jennifer L. Armentrout - Reading from ' Half-Blood (Covenant #1)' from October 5th 2018

[Andy]

Starting with Book 1!

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.

Chapter 5: (view spoiler)[So far this book is reminding me of other books. Which is really weird to me right now. It's definitely like a version of the Vampire Academy and like Alex is Rose or some shit. Well I can't wait to consume this book. (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 11: (view spoiler)[Well shit. The Oracle is a bad ass. I would've never predicted that outcome nor did I see it coming. She's probably going to end up killing her mom - which I'm like shook right now and getting slapped with so many feelings. Is Alex a Pollyon/Apollyon?!?! I can't remember which it was and I'm too lazy to look through my book again. But that's what I'm predicting right now. (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 15: (view spoiler)[OH GOD SHE'S DRUNK. SHE'S GOING TO HIS HOUSE. What the hell is going to happen now?!?! Will it be a trainwreck? Will there be fireworks? Will I laugh? Who knows! ALSO, I feel like I should totally point out that I was correct because Alex is Apollyon/Pollyon (WHATEVER IT IS/SPELLED!) and now I'm happy. I wonder what else is going to happen? (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 20: (view spoiler)[Honestly, I really don't like love triangles. I totally ship Alex with Aiden, sorry Seth honey but I just can't deal with the love triangle shit right now. Then those scars that Alex has - I just feel so bad for her right now. I feel like crying right now. (hide spoiler)]
Finished: (view spoiler)[THE FEELINGS! I have so many feelings guys! I don't know how to talk about them right now. But first I need to say alex's mom shouldn't have died that way - it just made me way too sad. Also, I just want alex to be with aiden. forever. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 7: (view spoiler)[I'm pretty sure I'm in love with Alex and Aiden so freaking much. But now Seth is slowly creeping into my hear too. I don't know what I'm thinking now but I'm still shipping Alex and Aiden together - but then again you never know which ship will sail. Other than that, I feel really bad for the half-bloods because they are being treated so freaking poorly. (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 10: (view spoiler)[So much has freaking happened! UGH! first off, Aiden and Alex had a fight and now I'm mad because Seth is there for Alex when Aiden should be. Also, can I mention how much of a badass the Oracle is?!? SHE POOFED OUTTA THERE SO QUICKLY GUYS! I want to be able to do that. (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 15: (view spoiler)[My heart is starting to crack because I feel so bad for Alex. Things just keep going from bad to worse for her. I also really want her with Aiden, like right now! aldkfksalfnal I just want my ship together people! (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 21: (view spoiler)[OMFG OMFG OMFG! SETH AND ALEX KISSSED! and now I'm really mad because I want the forbidden love to be sailing. I wan Alex and Aiden together and now this is just ruining love for me! UGH I guess I can slowly start to accept this romance if she's really happy with him... maybe.. (hide spoiler)]
Finished: (view spoiler)[fhjfkljdalfjaslf I'm frustrated because Aiden is in love with Alex and I just want them together. I don't care why he doesn't want to be with her because they need to be together! FOREVER! I just feel like her relationship with Seth, or whatever it is, is basically just because of the connection. It doesn't seem real to me. I NEED THE REAL FORBIDDEN LOVE BETWEEN ALEX AND AIDEN RIGHT NOW GUYS! (hide spoiler)]

Oracle is (view spoiler)[Grandma Piperi! (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Chapter 5: (view spoiler)[Seeing Alex get her ass kicked as been interesting. I feel bad thought because Jackson doesn't seem like he's going to stop unless she passes out. I also feel bad for her because she still has feelings for Aiden and I knew Seth can see it too. I just want my ship together guys! SORRY SETH! (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 10: (view spoiler)[Okay I feel bad that Seth is gone now. But I'm happy because Alex and Aiden can work on each other more. RIGHT!?!? Oh and the whole Deacon and Luke scene was sweet and kind of funny. I totally ship them! (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Chapter 18: (view spoiler)[Okay I'm laughing so hard at her conversation with Apollo. Also, I'm freaking out that the actual son god is there. Besides that I'm happy that Aiden is sort of trying to take care of Alex but I feel bad because of what Seth did. I really hope he didn't do anything with the girl called boobs. But then again, I just want Alex with Aiden... (hide spoiler)]

[Andy]

Man I should've reread this but I have no time with my upcoming ToG reread and exams :(

[Alaina]

Chapter 25: (view spoiler)[I really don't like Lucian and I kind of want him to die. I don't like that he can control or has both Alex and Seth. I'll just patiently wait for someone or people come and save her and him. (hide spoiler)]
Finished: (view spoiler)[OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG THAT ENDING. I'm shook guys. 100% shook. ALEX EVIL?!?! Is she??! I'm stoked for the next book and I don't have it yet!! DAMN YOU LIBRARY! (hide spoiler)]

[Andy]

[Alaina]

Andrea wrote: "Man I sort of remember this ending and I was just like shit shit shit!!!"

I will never accept that ending. I NEED THE NEXT BOOK

[Andy]

Yes!!!! you need it now. Or I suggest going online and reading the little prequel 3.5 before book four. It's from Aiden's perspective if I remember right!

[Alaina]

Cnskcmdmkskdkfnfkci WHAT

[Andy]

Yes!! I think I read it from Jennifer's website for free, you should check there first

[Alaina]

I will definitely look it up when I get home. I just went to library to drop off the books that I’ve finished and I had like 7 more to pick up 😍😍 I’m being so smart getting my December books already

[Alaina]

I JUST FOUND THE OTHER BOOKS IN THIS SERIES FOR FREE!! WHAT HAVE I BEEN DOING WITH THIS WHOLE WAITING GAME WITH THE LIBRARY!! I'm such a fool

[Andy]

YAYYYYY IM SO HAPPY

[Alaina]

I’ll probably finish this series tomorrow. So excited. And I’m going to finish the series beautiful creatures and the other series we are reading too! Maybe game of thrones but I’d have to read more tonight

[Andy]

I'm going to try to get Sea Spell finished by tomorrow.

[Andy]

Oh and I still need to find series

[Andy]

I found the first two, but not #3 and 4 isn't out. :((((

[Alaina]

Same!!

[Andy]

It will be weird to read a book off a website, I've never really done that except for fanfiction on tumblr :P

[Alaina]

haha yeah sometimes it bugs me a little but it definitely helps out if I can't get the audio, physical, or ebook.

[Jenn]

Half-blood
Chapters 1-4: it's been awhile since I've read these but I remember enjoying them. I definitely love the spin off series lol. This was my first Jennifer Armentrout book and now she's one of my favorite authors. (view spoiler)[ Alex is definitely a firecracker. I like that she doesn't take crap from people and stands up for what she believes in. I can already see the hinting of a romance with Aiden. Also Caleb <3 (hide spoiler)]

[Andy]

Alaina (hope you see this on here lol)- what do think if we read the first two of the power series (spin off to this series) and then we can pause and pick up with the third when we both find it? I might be able to get a copy when I go home for the holidays or from my bf's library.

[Jenn]

Chapters 5-8: (view spoiler)[ So much foreshadowing! lol All of the talk about Apollyon's and how there has only been one instance of there being 2... I'm loving rereading this. But cannot wait until Seth comes in. (hide spoiler)]

You guys are going to LOVE that series <3

[Alaina]

I'm going to type up my comments for the two novellas and maybe the fourth book for this series right now (and the two reviews for the novellas and maybe the fourth.) I don't know if I'll finish it but yeah then I can start the power series :D

[Andy]

Jenn- I can't wait, I can't believe I forgot about Seth's series

You still have time to read book 5 here, I have to get through Sea Spell and Sera was being aggravating again :/

[Jenn]

Andrea wrote: "Jenn- I can't wait, I can't believe I forgot about Seth's series"

How could you forget Seth?? lol. He was my absolute favorite in the Covenant series and, in my opinion, his series is just so much more than its predecessor. Cannot wait to hear what you think of it!

I remember wanting to read it and then I must have either got distracted by other books or school

[Alaina]

22%: (view spoiler)[Little Alex is fucking adorable and sassy as shit. I don't know how I feel about her being friends with benefits with Matt yet but meh.. hopefully that passes pretty quickly. (hide spoiler)]
44%: (view spoiler)[I don't like how Matt got so butthurt about Alex beating the kids ass up. He should just thank her for saving his ass in the first place. BOYS! (hide spoiler)]
66%: (view spoiler)[ahhh and now I'm all caught up with where the first book sort of started. Super interesting and all I keep shouting is "RUN ALEX RUN!" (hide spoiler)]
89%: (view spoiler)[Pretty sure I'm not supposed to be laughing at this novella.. but come on! It's hilarious with all of the Daimon's showing up where ever Alex is. Plus the whole beanie boy and red trying to rob her because she had money when she was at the vending machine.. I'm sorry but it's laughable. I can't wait to see how this ends. (hide spoiler)]
100%: (view spoiler)[So why are all of these Daimon's in a god damn pack trying to capture Alex. I don't think I enjoy that taunting they did. This isn't some type of cat and mouse game. It's real life... well for Alex. And even though I read these WAY out of order I can't help thinking, wishing, praying, and hoping that Alex survives! (hide spoiler)]

flajklfafd I HAVE TO POST MY COMMENTS FOR THAT BOOK TOO! And finish it. I'm dreading it right now. It's just sitting right next to me.

Me too, I want to know what happens, but the characters annoy me too easily

[Alaina]

23%: (view spoiler)[It's weird seeing gods here like Apollo and such. I don't know.. I feel like I'm reading a percy jackson book and not a covenant book. It could just be me though. Oh, and Alex is still evil and I just want her to be normal and in love with Aiden. (hide spoiler)]
46%: (view spoiler)[Omg I feel so bad for Aiden because he just had to make a really big decision about Alex. I know she's not herself and she's saying cruel things to him and everyone else but what the hell is this "elixir" going to do to her? She's going to change completely. How long will it last? I also don't want her to die.. (hide spoiler)]
69%: (view spoiler)[My poor baby Alex is so different and sweet and so naive. I feel bad for her but I'm happy that Aiden hasn't left her side once. I just wonder what's going to be like when she wakes up soon because the elixir is definitely wearing off since she can hear someone talking to her in her head. (hide spoiler)]
92%: (view spoiler)[OMG OMG OMG HE SAID I LOVE TO HER AND SHE SAID IT TO HIM. I'm swooning right now guys! (hide spoiler)]
100%: (view spoiler)[Oh shit. Shit is going to go down. I feel it in my bones and I'm so fucking happy that Aiden is finally going to fight to the fucking death with Seth for Alex. THANK GOD. (hide spoiler)]

[Jenn]

Chapters 9-12: (view spoiler)[ what a way to find out about her mother being a daimon. Poor Alex. I seriously hate Lucien, his whole attitude is just icky. But Seth! Totally forgot he was in this book. For some reason, I thought he showed up in the second. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Chapters 1-10: (view spoiler)[I feel like I should first apologize because I could never remember how to spell Apollyon correctly. I definitely kept forgetting the letter A which is really sad since it's the first god damn letter. But let's go into this book now. Well, shit. I didn't expect all of this to go down in the first couple of chapters. Alex broke her bond with Seth and now she can be herself again. Also, she can be with Aiden again. WOOHOO! (hide spoiler)]
Chapters 11-20: (view spoiler)[Well, I definitely saw that happening. I mean who wouldn't feel guilty as fuck giving the love of their life an elixir that basically changed everything about them. Oh and having them call you master.. Stupid Aiden - stop fucking avoiding Alex and go talk to her. Make love to her. HAVE BABIES ALREADY. Oh and Seth can suck a dick right now. I don't want no half ass bond between him and Alex anymore. GO AWAY SETH! (hide spoiler)]
Chapters 21-30: (view spoiler)[If Alex dies I will burn this book. I will burn everything. Also, Seth is becoming stalkerish. Like, full on scary creepy stalker. I just don't like the guy. He needs a new hobby. I just want Alex and Aiden together and to have people stop ruining their god damn moments (I'M SPEAKING TO YOU DEACON!!) fjdksalfjdlkasjfla JUST ONCE! (hide spoiler)]
Finished: (view spoiler)[What the hell is with these gods being fucktards?!? I feel like Ares was evil in Percy Jackson too... interesting.. Well Ares needs a new hobby and I can't believe Seth teamed up with him. Why do boys have to be so stupid? I'm proud of Alex standing up to a god, even if it is Ares, but I don't like that she got hurt. Then the whole mom scene and now I have happy tears. I didn't want this book to end. AND NOW I NEED THE NEXT BOOK STAT! (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

20%: (view spoiler)[Well, a lot has happened and a lot didn't happen. So Alex is still weird and I'm glad in the beginning she doesn't feel Seth. Even though she knows she is still tethered to him somehow at least she doesn't feel him. I'm glad she's with Aiden throughout everything so far. AND OMG IS SHE PREGNANT?!?! (hide spoiler)]
