The first half is cliché-galore. Something quite interesting happens in the middle. It ends with a cliffhanger, which serves the purpose of being a prequel to the actual first novel of the series. I might read the first one in the future just to satiate my curiosity about what will happen.

Daimon (Covenant, #0.5) is a prequel to Half Blood. This gives you an insight and what to expect coming into Half Blood.
Quote:
"I don't know why she was so frightened; I was the one facing the crypt keeper. And if I survived this poor excuse for tradition without ending up carrying this hag's bedpan for the rest of my life, it would be a miracle worthy of the gods that supposedly were watching over all of us."
Alexandria(Alex)is a half blood. Three years ago her mother took her away from the Covenant, where she was training to kill Daimons; evil aether stealing creepers.
Something really bad happens and now Alex is running for her life. After a few days sulking inside a run-down hotel outside of Miami, Alex decided she would go back to the Covenant. On the trip there, the horrible Daimons show up and alter her destination.
This was a great introduction into Half Blood. The action was enough to entice the reader to jump on the Half Blood band wagon.
I look forward to more from this author and now onto Half Blood...

I picked it up on impulse because it was on my phone for a long time, so I thought why not finally read it. I didn't fall in love with it right away, but it made me curious about the rest of the series. And I'm excited what is happening to Alex after this. :)

As far as Novellas go, Daimon wasn't too bad. It struck me as something that was either written originally for the book and then was cut and added to later for the novella, or was written after the series as the prequel. Either way, it was good. In it we learn a tad bit about Alex's life that she had in the mortal world, and what exactly happened when the Daimons attacked her mom. Of course, we already know what happened, but this is obviously a more detailed account.
I don't think it's necessary to read the prequel, it doesn't give that much more information so if you're a slow reader it probably won't be worth your time but if you can zip through it in under an hour like I did, then hey why not? oh, and it's free!
