For fans of 'The Mortal Instruments' (Cassandra Clare):

Half-blood: a Covenant novel

Common theme: demon-slaying

Author: Jennifer L. Armentrout
Series: Covenant
Publisher: Contoocook, NH: Spencer Hill Press, 2011

Teenager Alexandria’s half-blood (half-god/half-mortal parent and mortal parent) status had left her with two options in life: serve full-blooded powerful beings or slay daimons. Choosing the latter, Alexandria must graduate the Covenant she is training at or she will be turned into a daimon herself, hunted by her full-blooded love interest she is forbidden to be with.

Half-blood is similar to Covenant as it deals with characters who are non-human (or seemingly human) who are involved with demons and demon-hunting. Half-blood is also similar to Mortal Instruments on account of the romance involved. Supernatural elements abound featuring not just demons, but also gods and vampires.

Half-blood also looks at pre-determined fates and addressing taboos as thematic concerns.

I would recommend this book to a female reading audience rather than a general young adult audience on account of its romantic content. I would also recommend the book to those interested in supernatural themes and interesting in reading stories involving demons.
