![]() ![]() Vaughn’s so called secret, which was obvious really, is that he was sexually abused by her uncle and he wants to kill him, but she didn’t understand what she saw as a child, and now still does nothing. All the nastiness is forgotten and they transform into “we were meant to be” and “no one understands us like each other”. Then, suddenly, the vindictiveness changes without any real reason. Not something that gives me the feels, I’m afraid, and this is not a vampire book. There are also some scenes which made me squirm a bit, involving blood drinking and using a sculptor’s chisel as a sex toy. Even Leonora admits “it’s exhausting”.Īs with the others in the series this is crammed with gut-wrenching angst and destructive teenage behaviour. I quickly realised this was going to be a hard fought, bitter, and sharp-tongued romance, filled with mean comebacks. She’s not cruel in return, but she stands her ground. I respect her because she doesn’t let him get away with it. ![]() Despite Vaughn’s cruel and callous treatment of her, Leonora is not a mouse. ![]()

In the sprawling story that follows, Voya grapples with the fact that she has 30 days to fall in love and commit murder while her family falls into various camps of support. It is after that horror that the ancestor issues her command: Voya must find and destroy her first love or every member of her family will be stripped of its magic.

It is both exciting and terrifying, and also pretty much unavoidable. Set in Toronto in the year 2049, teenager Voya Thomas has at last experienced her Calling – the moment when one of her ancestors comes forward and gives her a challenge she must achieve in order to receive her power.

And that would kind of suck.Ī lot of people have compared Half-Blood to Richelle Mead’s Vampire Academy. 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. But falling for Aiden isn’t her biggest problem–staying alive long enough to graduate the Covenant and become a Sentinel is. Unfortunately, she’s crushing hard on the totally hot pure-blood Aiden. Alex has problems with them all, but especially rule #1:Relationships between pures and halfs are forbidden. There are several rules that students at the Covenant must follow. Seventeen-year-old Alexandria would rather risk her life fighting than waste it scrubbing toilets, but she may end up slumming it anyway. Half-bloods only have two options: become trained Sentinels who hunt and kill daimons or become servants in the homes of the pures.
