This was a very disappointing novella. I expected more from it, but it didn't meet my expectations. One good thing that came from it was that it ended literally the moment before Half-Blood starts.
It's a good book to read before Half - Blood. It explains in detail what is going on in the beginning a little better than it does in Half - Blood.
I've been in a bit of reading slump (too much of one genre, and not connecting with the starts of the last few books I've read) and needed something to read that was familiar but not too familiar. I haven't read this series since I was 16 (when it was first published in paperback in the UK), and I am glad to have picked it back up again.
Alexandria does make me cringe a bit more now, than when I first read it, but given it's a young adult series, it isn't too off-putting. Looking forwards to rereading the rest of this series, and combatting this reading slump.

I stumbled upon Daimon on goodreads; I've been dying to read Half Blood ever since Leah Clifford mentioned it in her BlogTV.
So after my discovery, I hurried along to amazon; just a few clicks away, and I had purchased the Kindle copy for 99c (you can even get a paperback version for $3.99, which I'll probably end up doing).
It was phenomenal.
I fell in love with Jennifer's writing, she certainly knows how to do it well. Alex is such a badass, that you can't help but love her, especially when she said: 'bring it on, like donkey-kong.' I laughed so hard, it's such a bad line but so good at the same time; if she hadn't already won me over, that line would have sold it for me.
I love mythology, and so far I'm loving this series, Alex's internal monologue is great, especially when she is talking about this mysterious gray-eyed hottie. (I was dying to find out even just his name; I pretty much squealed when he finally made an appearance in the preview for chapter one of Half Blood, and finally found out his name!)
Daimon is an excellent start to the Half Blood series, I'm eager for October to get here something chronic.
So I'll end this review with saying, if you haven't read Daimon yet, do it! Jennifer L. Armentrout does not disappoint.

No me ha gustado nada, voy a intentarlo con la saga , pero no creo que me guste.
I’ve recently stumbled upon several series that offer little prequel books like this. I absolutely hate finishing a book, hating it, and feeling like I’ve wasted time in my life that I’m never going to get back so… I’ve begun reading prequels. I feel prequels give you a good sense of how the series is going to go and whether or not it’s worth pursuing. Fortunately, Daimon didn’t feel like a big time waster and I’m actually interested in continuing this series.
Daimon tells the story of Alexandria “Alex”, a child of a demi-god and a mortal, so not quite a demi-god but still has some of the powers. Alex and her mother have been hoping to escape detection of the daimon’s for the past 3 years while living among mortals after they fled in the middle of the night from the Covenant for a reason that Alex’s mother never explained. After being discovered by the daimon’s, Alex is forced to run away to escape them, but she has nowhere to go. The only place she knows to run is to the Covenant, but it’s the one place her mother always told her she could never go back to. The prequel ended with Alex still trying to reach the Covenant and outsmart the daimon’s chasing her. Very interested story, will definitely be adding the other books to my to-read list. :)
