Alex is a partial demigod (daughter of a mortal and a demigod) whose duty in life is to kill daimons; however, she has lived among mortals for years with her mother, who seemed to want to keep Alex from that life. Alex and her mother used to live at The Covenant, a place for people like Alex. For some reason, Alex's mother wanted to escape and live unnoticed.
A tragic event occurs which sends Alex on the run back to The Covenant. As she is running, she encounters a group of daimons and is forced to recall what she learned in training to remain, well...alive. End of story.
There is not a long synopsis because this is a very short novella. It is meant to lead up to the events that start the book Half-Blood, the first actual novel of The Covenant Series. While I felt this prequel was entirely too short, it was long enough to get me into the story line and make me want more. I will definitely try to read the first actual book.
Because I loved this little snippet of Jennifer Armentrout's work, I purchased another of her books, White Hot Kiss, yesterday on my lunch break from the last day of the WV bar exam. I had no idea until I got home that the book actually just came out this week. It appears to be more demon hunting and awesomeness. I mean the first page talks about demons eating Big Macs. Who doesn't love a Big Mac eating demon?
