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.

Originally when I read Obsidian, I had been in a slight reading slump. Let’s just say, that after I had finished (even when I was only half way through), that funk of mine disappeared and fast.
I instantly connected with Katy. She’s your average teenager; smart, real and a little snarky. Oh, she also loves to read and is a dedicated blogger – how awesome is that! I’ve met plenty of book loving characters before but never a blogger and though I must admit it was weird at times, I liked this aspect, especially since it allowed me connect with Katy even more.
Daemon Black is one infuriating, yet sexy as alien. One minute you’ll want to give him a well-deserved slap and the next minute all you want to do is rip his shirt off. Or is that just the hormones talking? Katy and Daemon both have their fair share of faults and can be frustrating, but even so, I love them both.
Katy and Daemon have a love-hate relationship. They bicker and can’t stand each other but they are also drawn to each other and although they would rather do just about anything than admit they have feelings for each other, the connection and chemistry they share is undeniable. The sexual tension between the two is explosive and electric. I highly suggest you keep a fire extinguisher on standby when reading Obsidian so you can keep the flames under control – yes, it’s that hot.
After falling hard for Obsidian, I absolutely can’t wait to read the sequel. I had so much fun that as soon as I finished it, I jumped online straight away and ordered a copy of Onyx. If that’s not love, I don’t know what is.
Entertaining, fast faced, not to mention fun and flirty; Jennifer has brought the old, dated alien story back to life and it’s brimming with energy.
4/5
