Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout

(Lux #1) Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout

"When 17 year old Katy Swartz moved to West Virginia right before her senior year, she'd pretty much resigned herself to thick accents, dodgy internet access, and a whole lot of boring, but then she spotted her hot neighbor, with his looming height and eerie green eyes. Things were looking up... until he opened his mouth.
Daemon Black is infuriating. Arrogant. Stab-worthy. It's hate at first sight, but when a stranger attacks her and Daemon literally freezes time with a wave of his hand, well, something... unexpected happens. The hot guy next door? He's an alien. Turns out that Daemon and his sister have a galaxy of enemies wanting to steal their abilities and Katy is caught in the crosshairs. Daemon's touch has lit her up like the Vegas Strip and the only way she's getting out of this alive is by sticking close to him until her alien mojo fades. That is if she doesn't kill him first."

Hands down, this book was honestly one of the most intriguing books I have ever read. I got through the 1000+ paged book in less than 2 days and I loved every second of it. I've never come across a book with aliens as the paranormal beings. Sure I've read about vampires, werewolves and even banshees but when I happened to come across this book, the whole concept interested me.

Katy, as the main female character, was made to be so relatable to teenage girls everywhere. I mean, the girl's best friend is her laptop which I'm pretty sure is the case for most. Even myself. -slaps wrist-
Daemon is the hot badass who can be a complete meanie to Katy at times, but then the loveliest guy to her. He's impossible to keep up with but impossible to ignore and you just cannot help but love him.

Jennifer L. Armentrout has managed to create a completely new, entirely intriguing world where time stands still at the flick of a wrist, people can light up like a bulb and everyone who's alien looks like they've just stepped off the runway. Each character in this first book, no matter big or small, is described so perfectly that it gives you the just enough to make up an image in your mind, but not so much that you can't fill in the gaps with your own choices. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes a break from the real world to indulge in a fantasy one. Even if you're not really into paranormal reads, go and give this one a shot. If the hot aliens don't do it for you then the building tension of Katy and Daemon definitely will.

I am now on the third chapter of the second book, Onyx. I literally bought it straight after reading the first simply because of the way the author ends it. Already in this second book, the heat is building and growing and I cannot wait to see what happens with Katy and Daemon, I mean it's inevitable what will eventually happen but the thing about this author, is that she manages to throw in enough twists to keep it interesting but not so many that there's a lot of loose ends, and that's what keeps the first book going. It's the mixture between lust and thrill that I adore.

Oh! And for those who do read it and absolutely love it like I did, there's some great news! *drumroll*

THERE WILL BE A MOVIE!

Yep, Obsidian is coming to the big screen and I am so happy! I'm sending Jennifer all of the hope I have in me because I really want this movie to showcase how good the book was. I pray that they do not stray too far from the book as many have done before because I don't see what could make this any better!
