Summary

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.

First off love this book and can’t wait to listen to the next…. But omg Seth’s accent …. I’ve read other reviews and they were complaining about how bad the French accent is… yes it’s horrible but it’s not just that…. The accent completely changes!!! Most of the book Seth has an Eastern European accent then it morphs into a terrible French accent. Lol …. I can’t believe they have left it like this!!!
I like the person who is doing the voices …. all accept the disaster that is Seth’s!!! I hope it’s better in the next book. Also why does he have an accent….. his names Seth.. if he’s French where’s the French name… is he greek where’s the Greek name…. It’s weird

When are authors going to understand you can have a great book but if your narrator is awful - that is all anyone is going to remember.

Unfortunately I found this book to be very simple in its storyline and totally predictable. The only thing worse than that was the terrible narration, every single male voice was exactly the same except for the accented Seth, and she kept slipping in and out of it sounding to me like it was either an eastern European accent but then switched to French. Even though I got the entire series I don't think I'll be reading anymore.

Predictable story & terrible narration

I love love love the story but god damn when she reads the male parts it sounds like she’s trying to impersonate Nicolas cage and there’s no distinction between characters if u zoned out at all your not sure which male is talking and she makes the characters sound over concerned and
Whiny there’s no upbeat cheeky banter voices like I feel there should’ve been

Awesome book!! Awful voice
