Origin


Origin (Lux, 4)
by Jennifer Armentrout
Rating: 5 Bows!


Daemon will do anything to get Katy back.

After the successful but disastrous raid on Mount Weather, he’s facing the impossible. Katy is gone. Taken. Everything becomes about finding her. Taking out anyone who stands in his way? Done. Burning down the whole world to save her? Gladly. Exposing his alien race to the world? With pleasure.

All Katy can do is survive.

Surrounded by enemies, the only way she can come out of this is to adapt. After all, there are sides of Daedalus that don’t seem entirely crazy, but the group’s goals are frightening and the truths they speak even more disturbing. Who are the real bad guys? Daedalus? Mankind? Or the Luxen?

Together they can face anything.

But the most dangerous foe has been there all along, and when the truths are exposed and the lies come crumbling down, which side will Daemon and Katy be standing on? 

And will they even be together?


Jennifer Armentrout left a big cliffhanger at the end of Opal (Lux, 3) so I was expecting Origin to be HUGE. And it didn't disappoint!

Origin is a roller coaster of a boo, filled with plenty of action, romance, deception and grief. It amazes me how beautiful Katy and Daemon's relationship is. They are put through trials over the course of the novel but they manage to succeed because they have each other. I won't lie, some scenes were hard to get through and others made me swoon. This is definitely the book where Daemon's character shines!

I won't go into to much detail about what goes on because you should definitely pick up a copy, but there are huge secrets revealed and an even more shocking deception that will leave you with a broken heart. 

You wil cri, laugh, kick and scream by the time you are done reading and let me just get this out there...it does not end how we expect. Putting that aside, the book was extraordinary  and will satisfy everyone that waited for its release. Now I'm anxiously waiting for the final novel and I honestly believe that it will be Jennifer Armentrout's best one yet!

Waiting on Wednesday: These Broken Stars


These Broken Stars (Starbound, 1)
by Amie Kaufman and Megan Spooner



It's a night like any other on board the Icarus. Then, catastrophe strikes: the massive luxury spaceliner is yanked out of hyperspace and plummets into the nearest planet. Lilac LaRoux and Tarver Merendsen survive. And they seem to be alone.

Lilac is the daughter of the richest man in the universe. Tarver comes from nothing, a young war hero who learned long ago that girls like Lilac are more trouble than they’re worth. But with only each other to rely on, Lilac and Tarver must work together, making a tortuous journey across the eerie, deserted terrain to seek help.

Then, against all odds, Lilac and Tarver find a strange blessing in the tragedy that has thrown them into each other’s arms. Without the hope of a future together in their own world, they begin to wonder—would they be better off staying here forever?

Everything changes when they uncover the truth behind the chilling whispers that haunt their every step. Lilac and Tarver may find a way off this planet. But they won’t be the same people who landed on it.



This cover is absolutely stunning! It's what caught my eye...and then I read the synopsis. I've really been liking a lot of science fiction/dystopian novels lately and this book is one I'm dying to read! It feels like it will be something along the lines of Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi and Gravity by Melissa West. 

I'm so excited for this novel that I already have such high expectations. PLEASE PRETTY PLEASE don't disappoint!!!

Saw It. Want It. Need It: Everneath


Everneath
by Brodi Ashton



Last spring, Nikki Beckett vanished, sucked into an underworld known as the Everneath. Now she’s returned—to her old life, her family, her boyfriend—before she’s banished back to the underworld . . . this time forever. She has six months before the Everneath comes to claim her, six months for good-byes she can’t find the words for, six months to find redemption, if it exists.

Nikki longs to spend these precious months forgetting the Everneath and trying to reconnect with her boyfriend, Jack, the person most devastated by her disappearance—and the one person she loves more than anything. But there’s just one problem: Cole, the smoldering immortal who enticed her to the Everneath in the first place, has followed Nikki home. Cole wants to take over the throne in the underworld and is convinced Nikki is the key to making it happen. And he’ll do whatever it takes to bring her back, this time as his queen.

As Nikki’s time on the Surface draws to a close and her relationships begin slipping from her grasp, she is forced to make the hardest decision of her life: find a way to cheat fate and remain on the Surface with Jack or return to the Everneath and become Cole’s queen.

Everneath is a captivating story of love, loss, and immortality from debut author Brodi Ashton.



Okay so I've been putting off reading this book because the last book hasn't come out yet. What does that have to do with anything you ask? Well I've read the synopsis for Everneath and Everbound and with just reading that I have fallen in love with Cole. So now my problem is that if Nikki doesn't end up with Cole, I'll be so upset and mad that I'll end up hating this series forever!! I know that's horrible of me but I can't take it when the heroine doesn't pick the person I want!

Putting all that aside, I've read some pretty awesome reviews about this book and now I'm determined to read it no matter the outcome of the series!
