Good prequel short story to what sounds like a promising series. I really like the way this short lead into the first book, and Alex is so far a strong lead character. Looking forward to more! :)

This is the first time I've read a Covenant book so I'm glad I have some reference before I start on Half Blood which I'm starting next.
My thoughts...Ms. Armentrout is great at characterization and creating lovable, realistic, and bad ass characters. She is great at creating atmosphere I was literally on the edge of my seat waiting for the Daimon attack I knew was inevitable. Also she did a great job of making the Daimon's evil and beings that just follow their instinct to cause pain and suffering and then eating what they played with.....I can't wait to read Half Blood which I have no doubt will be an incredible read and an adventure that will keep me riveted.

I love almost everything JLA writes. Her quick paced, romance filled books are very addicting. I think I read this in half an hour, and of course I loved it. However, I gave it only three stars, because it was to short to be really good, and mostly a description of Alex being hunted by Daimons. I missed Aidan in this book, but still, it was fun and thrilling to be back in Alex' head.

The first time I read this book was because of a friend of mine who I share the same taste in books (thanks Eunice) but the first time I read it, it didn’t really connect with me that much. I don’t know why but it didn’t. You might be asking why I reread it? I reread it because of Obsidian which exteremely awesome and addicting! I was also hesitant to read that book because of how I felt about this book but when I got HOOKED with Obsidian I told myself I have to give the Covenant series another try which I did and was totally happy that I gave it another shot.
For you to really get the feel of this series I think its necessary to read this prequel first. Daimon shows you what happened before the first chapter of Half Blood. It shows you a the major plot line that will be further stretched out in the next books. It deals about Mythology like I’ve never seen before. I mean I love Greek Myth spin-off like Starcrossed and the Goddess Test but this one is very different. It has an entirely different feel to it which makes it all the more intriguing and interesting.
What I really loved about this was the writing style. I love fast-paced books and this one was one of them books that will keep you at the edge of your seat. There were no dull moment here I tell you. Ms. Armentrout, I am so in love with you!

Lei primero Mestiza, y creo q fue un error, este libro explica mejor las cosas, además de que vemos que es lo que sucede para que Álex este huyendo desde Miami

I don’t know a lot about the characters but I did feel invested in their story so I enjoyed it more than I expected for being so short
