Obsidian (Lux #1)
by Jennifer
L. Armentrout (Goodreads Author)
Starting over sucks.
When we moved to West Virginia right before my senior year, I’d pretty much resigned myself to thick accents, dodgy internet access, and a whole lot of boring…. until I spotted my hot neighbor, with his looming height and eerie green eyes. Things were looking up.
And then he opened his mouth.
Daemon is infuriating. Arrogant. Stab-worthy. We do not get along. At all. But when a stranger attacks me and Daemon literally freezes time with a wave of his hand, well, something…unexpected happens.
The hot alien living next door marks me.
You heard me. Alien. Turns out Daemon and his sister have a galaxy of enemies wanting to steal their abilities, and Daemon’s touch has me lit up like the Vegas Strip. The only way I’m getting out of this alive is by sticking close to Daemon until my alien mojo fades.
If I don’t kill him first, that is.

My Thoughts:
Amazing! Wow! I’m dying for the next book! I devoured this
book, and it was as yummy as it was intense! I haven’t found a series stalk-worthy
since Twilight and Vampire Academy, but this is it! I loved Daemon and Kat’s tug-a-war
relationship. The conversations were witty and intense. I laughed out loud most
of the book and was tensely griping my Kindle the rest of the time. I am green
with envy at Armentrout’s amazing writing skills. I loved how Armentrout blended
the plot and the characters. And what amazing characters they are! Okay, so I
can’t say enough about this book, but a huge thank you to my friend for insisting
I buy this one. It is going on my shelf to read over and over again *sigh*
Note: Rating is PG-13 and there is swearing. Five Plus
stars!!
I love this book too! My review of it was so fan-girly!
ReplyDeleteJennifer is definitely one of my favourite authors at the moment and she's such a nice person too! :)
I love Daemon and I cannot wait for Onyx! Great review!
