 Katy knows the world changed the night the Luxen came. She can't believe Daemon welcomed his race or stood by as his kind threatened to obliterate every last human and hybrid on Earth. But the lines between good and bad have blurred, and love has become an emotion that could destroy her—could destroy them all. Daemon will do anything to save those he loves, even if it means betrayal. They must team with an unlikely enemy if there is any chance of surviving the invasion. But when it quickly becomes impossible to tell friend from foe, and the world is crumbling around them, they may lose everything— even what they cherish most—to ensure the survival of their friends…and mankind. War has come to Earth. And no matter the outcome, the future will never be the same for those left standing.

  Katy I still stared at Daemon, completely aware that everyone else except him was watching me. Closely. But why wouldn’t he look at me? A razor-sharp panic clawed at my insides. No. Thiscouldn’t be happening. No way.
My body was moving before I even knew what I was doing. From the corner of my eye, I saw Dee shake her head and one of the Luxen males step forward, but I was propelled by an inherent need to prove that my worst fears were not coming true. After all, he’d healed me, but then I thought of what Dee had said, of how Dee had behaved with me. What if Daemon was like her? Turned into something so foreign and cold? He would’ve healed me just to make sure he was okay. I still didn’t stop.
 Please, I thought over and over again. Please. Please. Please. On shaky legs, I crossed the long room, and even thoughDaemon hadn’t seemed to even acknowledge my existence, I walked right up to him, my hands trembling as I placed them on his chest. “Daemon?” I whispered, voice thick. His head whipped around, and he was suddenly staring down at me. Our gazes collided once more, and for a second I saw something so raw, so painful in those beautiful eyes. And then his large hands wrapped around my upper arms. The contact seared through the shirt I wore, branding my skin, and I thought—I expected—that he would pull me against him, that he would embrace me, and even though nothing would be all right, it would be better. Daemon’s hands spasmed around my arms, and I sucked in an unsteady breath. His eyes flashed an intense green as he physically lifted me away from him, setting me back down a good foot back. I stared at him, something deep in my chest cracking. “Daemon?” He said nothing as he let go, one finger at a time, it seemed, and his hands slid off my arms. He stepped back, returning his attention to the man behind the desk. “So . . . awkward,” murmured the redhead, smirking. I was rooted to the spot in which I stood, the sting of rejection burning through my skin, shredding my insides like I was nothing more than papier-mâché. “I think someone was expecting more of a reunion,” the Luxen male behind the desk said, his voice ringing with amusement. “What do you think, Daemon?” One shoulder rose in a negligent shrug. “I don’t think anything.” My mouth opened, but there were no words. His voice, his tone, wasn’t like his sister’s, but like it had been when we first met. He used to speak to me with barely leashed annoyance, where a thin veil of tolerance dripped from every word.The rift in my chest deepened.
For the hundredth time since the Luxen arrived, SergeantDasher’s warning came back to me. What side would Daemon and his family stand on? A shudder worked its way down my spine. I wrapped my arms around myself, unable to truly process what had just happened. “And you?” the man asked. When no one answered, he tried again. “Katy?” I was forced to look at him, and I wanted to shrink back from his stare. “What?” I was beyond caring that my voice broke on that one word. The man smiled as he walked around the desk. My gaze flickered over to Daemon as he shifted, drawing the attention of the beautiful redhead. “Were you expecting a more personal greeting?” he asked. “Perhaps something more intimate?” I had no idea how to answer. I felt like I’d fallen into the rabbit hole, and warnings were firing off left and right. Something primal inside me recognized that I was surrounded by predators.

BOOK REVIEW ~ OBSIDIAN by JENNIFER L. ARMENTROUT

This review is bought to you by a book with the hottest aliens you will ever meet!. 

Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout. 

Okay so I had seen this book a few times pop and was like eh not really interested, DUMB! But then the one persons opinion I trust most when it comes to books (my mother-in-law the very talented author Jennifer Crowfoot) recommended it I thought I would give it ago. MAN am i so freaking glad I did, OMG I loved it!! 

It all starts when Katy Swartz and her mother move from Florida to West Virginia her senior year. Kat thought she would be surrounded by heavy accents and a bunch of hicks, that's until she met her hot eerie green-eyed tall neighbour Daemon Black. She thought things were not going to be as bad as she thought, until he opened his mouth!. He is rude, obnoxious, infuriating, arrogant and in Kat's words 'stab worthy' haha. Unbeknown to her Daemon is acting like towards for her for her own good. Kat is witty, smart, funny, a BLOGGER!, and gives Jerk-face Daemon a run for his money. She loves reading but her hobby is in the blogging (Yay I love this about her). I love that she has a hobby and isn't one of those typical girls that would just spend all summer staring at her hot neighbour like in most of the characters in books these days. 

Daemon is a Luxen alien he's hot as hell (and knows it) arrogant, witty, funny, infuriating and annoying at first I didn't know to love or hate him (ended up LOVING him). Once you get into the book you realize Daemon is they way he is towards Kat for her own protection and deep down he really is kind and caring towards her, he doesn't want her to get close to either him or his sister because of their secret but also so she doesn't have to get involved into the way they have to live and deal with the people they have to. 

Their relationship starts out as hatred for one another well more on Kat's side haha. Then it turns hot and cold. They build a playful banter between them which keeps story interesting and refreshing and it provided some hilarious and highly entertaining moments of the story. Even they seem to be always fighting they share a few intimate moments when Daemon shares the "real" him (Kat loves btw). 

Daemon tries and FAILS to keep his distance from Kat. He has to save her life a few times which makes her carry a glow where ever she goes, this brings Arum ( Luxen's shadow enemies). This forces Daemon to spend time with her to ensure she is protected at all times until the glow from his alien mojo has faded enough to not bring the Arum into their community. The time they are spending with one an other shows obvious tension between the two and how much they are attracted to each other. They both deny it but know it's there and they both feel it. When they FINALLY Kiss well get ready to fan your face because the chemistry is seriously off the charts!! They are made to be together, Kat challenges Daemon and vice-versa, they have a lot in common and are so incredibly attracted to one another you feel the sexual tension ( they would make the hottest alien babies EVER). Daemons favourite way to infuriate Kat is to call her the pet name he thought of just for her 'KITTEN'. She hates it and that's why he loves it and continues to do it,the way they bring the best out in each other hehe. 

The secondary characters play a major part in the story. Kat's mum and her are close but she has never been the same since Kat's dad died of cancer, hence the reason they move to West Virginia. She takes a job as a night-shift nurse at the hospitals around the area. This allows Kat to be home alone at night and get up to mischief with the hot aliens next-door. 

Dee, Daemons twin sister is one of my favourite characters (behind Kat and Daemon of course :-p). She's beautiful well she should be being Daemons twin and all, caring always trying to be the glue between Kat and Daemon, she just wants to have a normal life with human friends and that's exactly why Daemon is so against their friendship and just seems to be one of those happy, bubbly, funny people you want to be around. They get along so well to Daemons dismay. She and Kat become instant best friends and tries to shed light on her brothers behaviour. Its being friends with Dee that makes her start to wonder what is with the Black twins. Kat sees Dee's arm fade in and out, not knowing if its her imagination or not Kat doesn't push it. Other instances happen and she figures out that they are Aliens, all Daemon can now do is confess what they are and try to explain it all to her. It's after Kat knows that their relationship changes in a good way and FINALLY reveal their feelings.

 The entire book Is set in Kat's POV, but at the end of the book we also get a few chapters from Daemon's POV and for that I am VERY grateful. You are shown inside the head of the cocky green eyed alien and see he actually had a good reason for acting the way he did. The ending isn't a cliff-hanger but ends with some good ol' Kat and Daemon banter, what better way to finish of book 1??

 Yes this book is a series WOOOOO-FREAKING-HOOOOOO 'ten thumbs up'

Recommended to YA readers or YA paranormal readers. 

A book that is awesomely written, refreshing, has hot aliens, is funny and just brilliant definitely deserves a 

5 hearts out of 5
