Daimon ~ Jennifer L. Armentrout Review

Daimon
by: Jennifer L. Armentrout

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


The way this book sets up the next one is beautiful, you rarely see it done this way. 

I love how we Daimon gives the back story to where Alex is emotionally, mentally, and physically when we first meet her in Half-blood.

I also loved the glimpse of her life readers see pre-tragedy.

(And because it deals with greek mythology I don't see me saying that there is a tragedy as a spoiler, i'm just saying.)

Our main character is Alex and she's strong. Strong willed, strong tempered, head strong, but not least emotionally and physically strong.

In this book something so precious is ripped away from her and her strength is tested time and time again. She is hunted. She's strong, she survives.

And now we move on to Half-Blood.

Daimon quotes



Just some quotes from Daimon by Jennifer L. Armentrout for you: 

“She’s nothing more than a pathetic, little half-blood,” the ancient woman had continued. “I say send her to the Masters. I’m in need of a little girl to clean my toilets.” 
Then she had twisted her fingers cruelly. 
And I had kicked her shin." (kinlde: Location 47)



"Even now, I wanted to spin-kick myself in my face for that one. I was like a walking romance novel character, thinking love conquers everything and all that crap. Sure. Love in my world usually ended up with someone hearing “I smite thee!” as she was cursed to be some lame flower for the rest of her life." (kindle: Location 78)


"Pures were so off limits to halfs like me." (kindle: Location 83)


"Here I was, three years later, and chipping paint reminded me of his eyes. That was so lame it was embarrassing." (kindle: Location 440)

What I'm Reading



"Love in my world usually ended up with someone hearing 'I smite thee!' as she was cursed to be some lame flower for the rest of her life."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.


Guys…




I really am so freaking excited about rereading this series. I get to fall in love with the characters all over again, laugh, cry, cuss and then apologize, and so much more. But I'm super stoked that this time I'm sharing it with you all! 

Eeeeep! 

Okay Okay!

Here I go!
