Flashback Friday / Book Review: Daimon by Jennifer L Armentrout


Flashback Friday is back! I've been a little busy lately and took a little break from this meme, but I'm picking back up with it today. Flashback Friday is a meme I started last year here on the blog for the sole purpose of spotlighting books that have been sitting on my shelf to read for awhile. This will include titles released the previous year and ones that have been out for a few years. Today's feature is Daimon by Jennifer L. Armentrout. This book is a short e-book that's apart of Jennifer's Covenant series.

For three years, Alexandria has lived among mortals—pretending to be like them and trying to forget the duty she'd been trained to fulfill as a child of a mortal and a demigod. At seventeen, she's pretty much accepted that she's a freak by mortal standards... and that she'll never be prepared for that duty. 


According to her mother, that’s a good thing. 

But as every descendant of the gods knows, Fate has a way of rearing her ugly head. A horrifying attack forces Alex to flee Miami and try to find her way back to the very place her mother had warned her she should never return—the Covenant. Every step that brings her closer to safety is one more step toward death… because she's being hunted by the very creatures she'd once trained to kill.

The daimons have found her -quoted from Goodreads

I am a huge Jennifer L. Armentrout fan. Her books are packed for paranormal awesomeness, sizzling character chemistry, butt kicking heroines and plenty of snark. Jennifer's Covenant series is one of my favorites. This series features Half-Blood and Pure (you can click on the links to read my reviews). If you're a fan of the series, I'd recommend reading this short e-book series, as it's from Alex's point of view and leads into the very beginning of Half-Blood. 

I admit, Alex is a little rough around the edges, but that's part of what makes her so much fun to read about. She's snarky, she proves she can totally fend for herself, and yet through her strength, she's also a little broken. If you're already read Half-Blood, I think you'll enjoy getting a sneak peak into Alex's life as she tries to fit into the human world, as well as getting a glimpse into her relationship with her Mom, and then of course her life on the run that leads her to scene at the very beginning of Half Blood. Plus this is a great filler to read while we're patiently waiting for the next book in this series, Deity.
