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.
I have to say that I like the deviation from the vampire/werewolf theme. Personally though, I always tended to steer clear of the whole "alien" scenarios because they would just remind me of E.T and, well , thats just not appealing. That is not the case with the Lux Series and I am so glad that I gave this book a chance!!
So let me point out the some things that I found refreshing in Obsidian:
1. Daemon, the male lead, is a big jerk!
2. Katy doesn't put up with Daemon
3. There is no instant love connection
1. We've had books with bad boys with all the tats and piercings and foul mouths but this is a whole new kind of of bad boy. Most bad boys are that way because they have a troubled past or they've been wronged in some way by someone, well Daemon Black is a bad boy in the sense that he is a complete jerk to Katy for no reason. We have to put up with his constant remarks, attitude, and warnings for a good portion of the book before we get an explanation for his behavior. Of course then we realize what is going on so we start to hate Daemon a little less (but really, when you look the way Daemon does, did you every truly hate him?).
2. Katy doesn't take any of Daemons crap! I love a strong female because it shows that not all girls put up with the guys behavior just because he's good looking. Katy has her priorities in the aspect of her mom and friends and is loyal to them, no matter what (*ahem Daemon*). What I loved most though was that even when she finally got the reason behind Daemons attitude she didn't instantly forgive him. She made him know that what he did was wrong and how bad he had hurt her before she forgave him. That to me a is a good female, Props to Katy!!
3. This brings me back to point 1, Daemon is a jerk and no amount of hotness will overlook Daemon's attitude. There wasn't any love at first sight, no accidental kisses, there was however god chemistry. I liked that Daemon and Katy both had to work through obstacles before they got to a place where they realized their feelings for one another. This is so refreshing to me because this is how it is in real life! It made the book more relatable and personally more enjoyable for me!
Overall I really enjoyed this book! I love the new world and characters that Jennifer L. Armentrout brought to life and she did it with an ease that left you wanting more! She really brought out the emotions and personalities of al characters and made you feel as if you were right there with them. The book left you with questions but with out being a cliff-hanger (which is such a relief!) My only question is: Where can I find myself a Daemon!!!!
