Publisher's summary

"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 17, 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.

Introduction of story line

This prelude was a good set up to show case the protagonist strength, determination and set the frame work to develop the story.

So glad I read it first!

This cannot be skipped and is a vital “prequel” novella to Covenant as a whole and shouldn’t be skipped. I loved how well the FMC was set up and you’re fully prepped to go into her full story knowing already who she is and what motivates her.

You should listen to this

It’s very suspenseful and leaves you on edge with a cliffhanger so you will have to ready the next book half blood

Too Costly

Too Costly. $10 (plus tax) for 90 some minutes of storyline. Not cool. More mom & daughter time to help audience share Alex's greivance. More reflection/details on their various rapid moves. This would have made it better for me.

Narrator has a gasping whine when she speaks. Doesn't work for me when talking about mundane things like eating ice cream or cleaning up a room. By the time Real Action happens, where that voice could thrive, I'm over it because the tension wasn't built up right.

Narrator’s voice to mature for main character and distinct pattern never alters from character to character

Main character is both vulnerable and strong. Setting is not in a fantasy land, brings real world familiarity with adventures.

It was okay.

I actually read it before the series and I was able to track it without any knowledge of the series. The end is pretty abrupt (but book 1 starts immediately after) and it’s less than two hours long so I would say that it did its job and I’ll start book one next.

Waste of time and the narrator is horrendous

Hear me out because I know I have strong opinions for books I read/listen to - I like this series, I'm actually devouring and almost finished with book 1 right now. But this prequel isn't necessary, and the first bit of her and her lil boyfriend is a COMPLETE waste of filler fluff. We got a moment with her mom because of it but it honestly didn't give 'I love my daughter/mom SO much' vibes I think it was meant to give. The action started way too late for me but it was nice to have that information going into the first book. Was it necessary? No. But I'm glad to have had it.

The narrator, though...is horrendous. It should be a crime for her to ever narrate a book again. Every voice she has is nasally and bad, she has some kind of accent that she unsuccessfully tries to hide (not an issue of her having an accent; the issue is that she tries and fails to hide or do anything with it). Her male voices sound like the flea from Inuyasha, very nasally and 'I have a stuffed nose', and the tones are all the same. She over pronounces her letters. It's not 'mortal' with this girl; it's 'morTTTTTTTTal', and it's for every. Freaking. Word. If the series weren't so interesting, I definitely wouldn't have continued with it because it has the same narrator and I HATE it. She nearly turned me away from an entire series because she's THAT bad.
