Half-Blood by Jennifer L. ArmentroutMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I began reading this book thinking that it would be exactly like Vampire Academy since that was what I heard. Some things in this book were very similar to VA. Alex had ran away because of something dangerous with her mother. There was an older guy that she was attracted to who ended up training her. She was formerly a delinquent and even though she was on thin ice she still seemed to cause trouble. The differences that I noticed was that Aiden didn't really seem to treat her as a child like Dimitri treated Rose in the beginning. Alex wasn't nearly as disciplined as Rose was and Rose's life wasn't exactly on the line as Alex's was. Also, I wasn't nearly as drawn to Aiden as I was to Dimitri. Dimitri had something that Aiden just does not.
The plot was alright. From the moment that I found out about Alex' mom, I knew what she was going to end up doing. Additionally the oracle gave it away. Considering the things that had happened to Alex, she seemed to hold it together pretty well. I don't feel that there is any hope for her relationship wise because out of the two guys that are in her life, her life would be over if she chose either one. I know that there will be a triangle created in book two.
I can't say that I have any strong feelings for or against this book. I'm sure I'll continue just to find out what happens but I can't say that I care a whole lot.
