Duración: 9 h y 17 m

Resumen del Editor

The Hematoi descend from the unions of gods and mortals, and the children of two Hematoi-pure-bloods-have godlike powers. Children of Hematoi and mortals-well, not so much. Half-bloods only have two options: Become trained Sentinels who hunt and kill daimons or become servants in the homes of the pures.

Seventeen-year-old Alexandria would rather risk her life fighting than waste it scrubbing toilets, but she may end up slumming it anyway. There are several rules that students at the Covenant must follow. Alex has problems with them all, but especially rule #1: Relationships between pures and halfs are forbidden.

Unfortunately, she's crushing hard on the totally hot pure-blood Aiden. But falling for Aiden isn't her biggest problem-staying alive long enough to graduate the Covenant and become a Sentinel is. If she fails in her duty, she faces a future worse than death or slavery: Being turned into a daimon, and being hunted by Aiden. And that would kind of suck.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Sexy, sizzling, touching, and fun." (Leigh Fallon, author of Carrier of the Mask)

hard to listen to

I enjoyed the story but struggle to get through sure to the narrator. At times I had a hard time distinguishing between characters.

Love this!

This is so well written and it keeps your interest with unexpected twists and fun snarky characters. Lots of great characters and action with great story building.

This Book Was Everything!!!

I wasn't sure about this book in the beginning but soon fell deeply in love with Alexandria. I laughed at her quirky snap backs, her attitude, felt her pain..especially when she thought she was going to get it on with Aiden and it just didn't happen, and enjoyed her growth throughout the whole story!🥰

I can't wait to read the second book in this series to see what develops between Alexandria, Aiden, and the new guy.

Just wow!!!

Great story, fantastic narrator!

I love this story so much, Jennifer Armentrout never fails to impress me with wonderful books. The characters and plot are so well developed in this story that I stayed engaged and intrigued throughout the whole book. The ending left me anxious to start the next book. I absolutely loved the narration by Justine Eyre, she did a fantastic job with the main character and other voices. She puts a lot of emotion and depth in her performance which I really appreciated. I feel completely stumped by all the negative feedback about her narration, all I can say is that those reviewers must be impossible to please. Jennifer, please don't hesitate to use Ms. Eyre again for your books, she's awesome!

Terrible croaking narration

Great story made an earful listen due to the narrator croaking her way through the book!

breathy annoying voice

I got through the voice because I'm intrigued on the story line but it really made it hard sometimes. I had to stop numerous times for to the breathy, whiny voice. I'm sure it doesn't help the female lead is whiny herself half the time.

I like the story line but I don't think I'll read or listen to it again

Terrible performance by reader.

I hate vocal fry and that is why I quit watching the Batchelor. This is more than 10 hrs of constant vocal fry. I cringe at the sound of her voice. I recommend audible hire a different actor and redo this book. I can’t get past chapter two.

Great series!

So far I am enjoying this new series very much. The storyline is different and I like the characters Ia lot. I going to start the second book now .

A ripoff of Vampire Academy but enjoyable.

It was ok, I'm interested to see what happen next. Though the similarities between this and Vampire Academy are staggering.

love the narrator love the author

I don’t know why people are complaining about the narrator, I chose to read this book BECAUSE of Justine Eyre. I wish she did more. The story is great also! I have yet to read a Jennifer Armentrout book that I didn’t love.
