Best. Sequel. Ever.

Onyx
By Jennifer L. Armentrout

Being connected to Daemon Black sucks…

Thanks to his alien mojo, Daemon’s determined to prove what he feels for me is more than a product of our bizarro connection. So I’ve sworn him off, even though he’s running more hot than cold these days. But we’ve got bigger problems.

Something worse than the Arum has come to town…

The Department of Defense are here. If they ever find out what Daemon can do and that we're linked, I’m a goner. So is he. And there's this new boy in school who’s got a secret of his own. He knows what’s happened to me and he can help, but to do so, I have to lie to Daemon and stay away from him. Like that's possible. Against all common sense, I'm falling for Daemon. Hard.

But then everything changes…

I’ve seen someone who shouldn’t be alive. And I have to tell Daemon, even though I know he’s never going to stop searching until he gets the truth. What happened to his brother? Who betrayed him? And what does the DOD want from them—from me?

No one is who they seem. And not everyone will survive the lies…



I was crying and sobbing and laughing throughout this book and that is something I adore in a book.

The first book was the attraction, the second book was the love. What's great about it is that you can really feel the love between Katy and Daemon. They're not obsessed or infatuated with each other, but they love each other. It is so hard to find a book like that these days.

Katy is probably my most favorite heroine that I've read so far. She goes about life with a steady head and I admire that about her. Also, she is the most relatable heroine. Geez, her sense of humor, the way she thinks, Katy is just a very tangible character that is realistic!

Oh and the writing, don't even get me started. Armentrout put this novel together brilliantly and she didn't disappoint. It's so real. I can easily slip into the book as if it was taking place in my own mind. If you loved Obsidian, you'll love this even more. Now, I am going to go read this again.

Opal, I am impatiently waiting for your arrival, so don't take long. :)
