Torn (A Wicked Trilogy #2) By Jennifer L. Armentrout

Buy Link: Torn

Torn between duty and survival, nothing can be the same. 

Everything Ivy Morgan thought she knew has been turned on its head. After being betrayed and then nearly killed by the Prince of the Fae, she’s left bruised and devastated—and with an earth-shattering secret that she must keep at all costs. And if the Order finds out her secret, they’ll kill her. 

Then there’s Ren Owens, the sexy, tattooed Elite member of the Order who has been sharing Ivy’s bed and claiming her heart. Their chemistry is smoking hot, but Ivy knows that Ren has always valued his duty to the Order above all else—he could never touch her if he knew the truth. That is, if he let her live at all. Yet how can she live with herself if she lies to him? 

But as the Fae Prince begins to close in, intent on permanently opening the gates to the Otherworld, Ivy is running out of options. If she doesn’t figure out who she can trust—and fast—it’s not only her heart that will be torn apart, but civilization itself.

Tink in this book is comical. He's more than a brownie. So much more and plays a HUGE part in this book. 
With the gates been opened and the Prince running round, Ivy is torn between duty and keeping her secret safe. 

Only, it all blows up in her face. In a big way. Everything happens quickly and her life turns upside down. 

But one thing I can't wait to find out is how Ivy will cope with being addicted to a certain SOMETHING!!!
I don't want to touch on the story line anymore because if you've read the first one, you'll want to go in this one as a surprise. It's way better than the first and I loved that one. 
It's worth a read and I'm beginning to fall in love with JLA's paranormal series.

Wicked (A Wicked Trilogy #1) By Jennifer L. Armentrout

Buy Link: Wicked

Things are about to get Wicked in New Orleans.

Twenty-two year old Ivy Morgan isn’t your average college student. She, and others like her, know humans aren’t the only thing trolling the French Quarter for fun… and for food. Her duty to the Order is her life. After all, four years ago, she lost everything at the hands of the creatures she’d sworn to hunt, tearing her world and her heart apart.

Ren Owens is the last person Ivy expected to enter her rigidly controlled life. He’s six feet and three inches of temptation and swoon-inducing charm. With forest-green eyes and a smile that’s surely left a stream of broken hearts in its wake, he has an uncanny, almost unnatural ability to make her yearn for everything he has to offer. But letting him in is as dangerous as hunting the cold-blooded killers stalking the streets. Losing the boy she loved once before had nearly destroyed her, but the sparking tension that grows between them becomes impossible for Ivy to deny. Deep down, she wants… she needs more than what her duty demands of her, what her past has shaped for her.

But as Ivy grows closer to Ren, she realizes she’s not the only one carrying secrets that could shatter the frail bond between them. There’s something he’s not telling her, and one thing is for certain. She’s no longer sure what is more dangerous to her—the ancient beings threatening to take over the town or the man demanding to lay claim to her heart and her soul.

Ivy is actually a strong minded chick who I loved from the start. The only thing I disliked about her was her inability to OPEN her eyes. She didn't see what was going on. Everything was blind to her even though it slapped her in the face. 

She's shot at the beginning when she's hunting fae, the creatures she was born to kill. 
She's lost everyone in her life, literally. She's now on her own with only a best friend as company. So when Ren comes into her life and she's thrown in the deep end to show him around, she can't help but get close to him. Only, she gets closer than she expected to. 
She can't help it. 
Only, both of them are keeping secrets. Big secrets.

Ren... Now Ren I wasn't so sure about. Sometimes you can get sidetracked by someone's good looks and charm to know what they're really up to. And although he's still holding back, he trusts Ivy with the truth. 

I LOVED Tink. Tink is a Troll. Tink isn't his real name and he can't reveal it because then that person can control him and although he's smaller than a barbie, he's more powerful than Ivy realises.

There's enough angst and drama to keep you hooked and enough smut between the two main characters to have you rooting for them. 

Great start to a new series.

The Power (The Titan Series #2) By Jennifer L. Armentrout

Buy Link: The Power

The Covenant University has become the frontline for the escalating violence between pure-bloods and half-bloods. War between the races seems inevitable, and it couldn't come at a worse time. Seth must prepare Josie for battle, which means teaching her how to control her newfound demigod abilities...and they need to find and rescue the other demigods before their enemies - the Titans - find them first.

Only one thing is more dangerous than a bunch of starved Titans, and that's an out-of-control Apollyon in the form of Seth. The aether in Josie is drawing Seth in deeper, and when lust mixes with love and gives way to power, he knows being close to her is becoming explosively dangerous. But letting her go requires a level of selflessness that just isn't Seth's style.

When the danger from the Titans erupts with devastating consequences, the dark allure of power calls to Seth again - but this time, Josie may not be able to pull him back from the brink...

So much drama going on in this book. 
When Alex made her bargain in the last series, the God's promised her equality between Half's and Pure's. Only, it's not going so well for some of the pures. They don't like the Half's are seen as equal and there is no slavery. I have a few choice words over that. 
But in the middle of all the fighting going on at the university, Seth has to teach Josie to protect herself and it's hard when she's just a human at the moment. 

Also, there's a big problem for Seth happening. He's falling for Josie, in a big way and as much as he tries to push her away, to protect her, it doesn't happen. He feeds off her unintentionally and comes addicted to her aether. 

As they go across the states to find other demi Gods, the worse it becomes for Seth. The allure of power is calling to him and it all becomes too much for him when a devastating loss happens for him. Breaking him. 

I loved this story line and found it better than the series before. I loved that Alex and Aiden come back too and we get to see how they are doing and how Deacon is handling their absence. I think he handles it better because of Luke. 
Oh, and I'm still in shock over finding out about Deacon and a certain God. WOW! Knew something happened but WOW! 

This book ends on a major cliffhanger and I can't wait to read the next in the series.

The Return (The Titan Series #1) By Jennifer L. Armentrout

Buy Link: The Return

A year ago, Seth made a deal with the gods - and pledged his life to them. Now, Apollo has a task for Seth: one which sees him playing protector over a beautiful, feisty girl who's strictly off-limits. And for someone who has a problem with restraint, this assignment might be Seth's most challenging yet.

Josie has no idea what this crazy hot guy's deal is, but he arrives in her life just as everything she's ever known is turned upside down. Either she's going insane, or a nightmare straight out of ancient myth is heading her way.

Josie can't decide which is more dangerous: an angry Titan seeking vengeance? Or the golden-eyed, secretive Seth - and the white-hot attraction developing between them...

When Seth pledged his life, his soul to the Gods, he did it because he owed it to Alex, the other Apollyon.

But to be honest, after reading this book, I think he did it to punish himself. I don't hate him anymore. I guess I've been fifty-fifty through the other series but now seeing this side to him, I actually really like him. For me, he redeemed himself in the last series. 

He's asked to protect Josie, who has no idea who she is or why she's so affected by the new, mysterious guy. She's actually really awkward and accident prone and when you find out what she is, that should be impossible. 
Josie is in two minds about her world. Her mom is treated for being crazy- or so everyone thinks. (There's more to the story.) So anytime she has one of her weird episodes or thinks she's seeing things, she thinks she's turning into her mom, but she's not.
Only, there's more to Josie than meets the eye. She's more than a demi God. It's who her father is that will shock the ever lovin crap out of you. But to be fair, it made me love this God more. I really wish he'd get his own book because I love him. Though, I do hate it when he talks in riddles. She also shares a lot of traits with Alex... I'll let that hang there for you. 
Anyway, Seth trying to convince her of who she is, is hilarious. Oh, and one of the fury sisters is in this one and I actually really like her. 

Anyway, Seth is ordered to protect her, to take her to the school where there is enough God magic to keep her safe from the Titan's. 
Yes, Titan's. 
When they released the titan in the last book, they thought it would be easy. The thought they could just pop him back to Hades and be done. But when they kill the God in the last one, they weaken and in the process, the magic keeping the titan's a sleep weakens. So the little Titan releases some of them. And to survive, they need to feed off Demi Gods, much like Deamon feed off Pures and halfs. 

Great start to the series and I love the fact they have brought in some of my favourite characters.

Sentinel ( A Covenant Novel #5) By Jennifer L. Armentrout

Buy Link: Sentinel

As the mortal world slowly slips into chaos, Alexandria Andros must overcome a devastating defeat that has left her shaken and in doubt that the war against the gods will ever come to an end.

There are many obstacles standing between Alex and her happily-ever-after with Aiden St. Delphi, and now Alex and Aiden face their greatest challenge yet: they must trust a deadly foe as they travel deep into the Underworld to release one of the most dangerous gods of all time.

In the shattering, action-packed climax to the series, Alex must make a terrible choice: the destruction of everything and everyone she holds dear... or the end of her own life.

I think this has to be the best one out of the entire series. I've never been so emotionally invested in a book before. But I really wanted to know what was going to happen, how it was going to all end. 

I have to admit, the ending surprised me so much so that I wasn't sure whether I liked the ending or not. It just didn't seem fair how Alex ended up, especially after everything she did for them. 

I also loved the way they ended the series for Seth. Does he get redemption in the end? You'll have to read to find out. But I do think this is a great book to the series and I did find it humorous. I can't wait to read Seth's now.

Apollyon (A Covenant Novel #4) By Jennifer L. Armentrout

Buy Link: Apollyon

Fate isn't something to mess with and now, neither is Alex. Alex has always feared two things: losing herself in the Awakening and being placed on the Elixir. But love has always been stronger than Fate, and Aiden St. Delphi is willing to make war on the gods-and Alex herself-to bring her back. The gods have killed thousands and could destroy entire cities in their quest to stop Seth from taking Alex's power and becoming the all-powerful God Killer. But breaking Alex's connection to Seth isn't the only problem. There are a few pesky little loopholes in the whole an Apollyon can't be killed theory, and the only person who might know how to stop the destruction has been dead for centuries. Finding their way past the barriers that guard the Underworld, searching for one soul among countless millions, and then somehow returning will be hard enough. Alex might be able to keep Seth from becoming the God Killer or she might become the God Killer herself.

I'm so annoyed with myself. I didn't read Elixir and didn't know about it until the beginning of the book but I'd already started and just needed to read LOL
Alex is like a caged animal in the beginning of this book so I'm glad in a way that I didn't read Elixir. I didn't want my view on her to change. 
She was completely obsessed with Seth and turned against everyone around her, people she loved. 

We do learn a little more about Seth since his connection to Alex is strong. But nothing is stronger than Alex's love for Aiden and I do think their love blossoms to an actual relationship in this book. It was really good to see. 

It also has it heartbreaking moments where I did struggle to keep it together. But Alex, ever Alex, was still a little selfish in her grief I found. Instead of mourning the person, I felt she mourned herself more. It was difficult to like her at time because she could be annoying as hell. But I do think the story got good during this book and I couldn't put it down. 

Some bits were a little obvious during the book and I found I knew who the bad guys were before Alex did. They basically screamed at her but she was blind to it. 

I am excited to see if Seth can be redeemed and if he someone will love the boy desperate for love.

Deity (A Covenant Novel #3) By Jennifer L. Armentrout

Buy Link: Deity

History is on repeat, and things didn't go so well the last time.

Alexandria isn’t sure she’s going to make it to her eighteenth birthday--to her Awakening. A long-forgotten, fanatical order is out to kill her, and if the Council ever discovers what she did in the Catskills, she’s a goner... and so is Aiden.

If that’s not freaky enough, whenever Alex and Seth spend time "training"--which really is just Seth's code word for some up-close and personal one-on-one time--she ends up with another mark of the Apollyon, which brings her one step closer to Awakening ahead of schedule. Awesome.

But as her birthday draws near, her entire world shatters with a startling revelation and she’s caught between love and Fate. One will do anything to protect her. One has been lying to her since the beginning. Once the gods have revealed themselves, unleashing their wrath, lives will be irrevocably changed… and destroyed. Those left standing will discover if love is truly greater than Fate...

Holy crap, everything seems to be happening in this book. 
I have to start with Seth because I want to scream a big fat, 'I TOLD YOU SO' LOL!! 
God, I knew, I freaking knew and he had everyone fooled with his easy charm and boyish attitude. What he does... my God, shocked the hell out of me. Even with all my doubt I didn't feel it would be this bad but it is and my God, I didn't even know what to think. 
Poor Alex, she didn't know what to do because although there is a bond between her and Seth, she also does truly care for him. She wanted to believe in him. Aiden and Appolo warned her what was going to happen and that they needed to hide her but she wouldn't listen, as usual, and ended up being taken.

Although, I do feel kind of sad for Seth. All he wanted was to be loved and cared for and as much as Alex cared for him I have to admit, she cared about herself above anyone else, including Aiden. It was always about her. 

How the book ends on this one is worse than all the other cliffhangers. I couldn't wait to read the next one. It killed me not knowing what was happening. 

4*

Pure (A Covenant novel #2) By Jennifer L. Armentrout

Buy Link: Pure

There is need. And then there is Fate. Being destined to become some kind of supernatural electrical outlet isn't exactly awesome--especially when Alexandria's other half is everywhere she goes. Seth's in her training room, outside her classes, and keeps showing up in her bedroom--so not cool. Their connection does have some benefits, like staving off her nightmares of the tragic showdown with her mother, but it has no effect on what Alex feels for the forbidden, pure-blooded Aiden. Or what he will do--and sacrifice--for her. When daimons infiltrate the Covenants and attack students, the gods send furies--lesser gods determined to eradicate any threat to the Covenants and to the gods, and that includes the Apollyon--and Alex. And if that and hordes of aether-sucking monsters didn't blow bad enough, a mysterious threat seems willing to do anything to neutralize Seth, even if that means forcing Alex into servitude--or killing her. When the gods are involved, some decisions can never, ever be undone.

First off, I hate what happens to Caleb. Why? One, because it sucked and he was my favourite character but the other reason is because of something Aiden says to Alex. He tells her that she is in control of her own fate, that the Oracle isn't in control and gets to say what happens in her life. But, so far, everything the Oracle has said has come true. I don't know, I guess I wanted that to be true for Alex because of everything she and her kind has to go through. 

In this book we get to see the real power pure's hold over the half-bloods. What I don't get is why. The half-bloods are stronger, they belong their more if you ask me yet, no one cares. 
When there's a war at the council the servants who are half-bloods drugged up and made into slaves (There is only two choices for half-bloods. You either become a sentinel/guard or you become a slave) they are left for dead, literally. They have no way of protecting themselves because they are controlled by their masters. I hated it. Knowing they were completely defenseless and no one even gave them a second thought. It drove me mad, especially since they are the people who serve them and protect the pure's. You'd think they'd have more consideration. If I was a half-blood, I'd refuse to protect them, because hell, they don't deserve it. I think that's the one thing I DISLIKE about this book the most. I don't get WHY they have to make a choice. I wouldn't protect their pompus asses. 

Next, Seth takes Alex to the council meeting, only one, and they sneak in the top balcony, looking down, when they bring up the pure blood and the half-blood that were mentioned in the first book getting caught in a relationship. The pure tried his hardest to protect this girl and they killed him. I think Seth did this not to protect Alex but to get her more dependent on him. Their bond is meant to get stronger the more time they spend together and it is, slowly. She gets her first awakening mark because of this. I think he's sly and I don't trust him. I honestly think he knows everything that is going to happen to Alex after she awakens and that he's using her for her powers. It's obvious she's more powerful, she just hasn't come into those powers yet. He also pushes all his time on her. 

I still don't know what to think about the story line. Sometimes it can be so interesting, especially since I actually understood the God mythology in this one, but then there are times I wish Alex would stop moping, leave Seth and punch him in the face and desperately wish she'd stop forgetting the things she should be questioning. It annoyed me to no end. 

The other thing that come up, which I guessed straight off, is Alex's dad being alive. I knew right away that this was going to happen from the minute she lays her eyes on him. I even guessed he was a half-blood, her mother being a pure blood and that's why she's an apollyon. I think that's why the Pure's don't want the half's fraternizing with the pures, because they know they'll make a new, stronger breed that will overrule them and the Gods. Most of the pure's at the council are stuck in their old ways and won't accept change, only more division between the two... 

I did enjoy this one a little more, but only because of the war that breaks out at the end. I loved the action and the fact she wasn't with Seth. He's beginning to drive me nuts LOL I also don't trust her Uncle or step father either, both have alternative motives as to why they want Alex to stay with them. I have few guesses but none that I want to mention just yet. 

I wish I did this one as a group read, so that I could talk about this book with other readers as we finish each book, see what they think. It would be good to know what their thoughts are on this.

Half-Blood (A Covenant novel #1) By Jennifer L. Armentrout

Buy Link: Half-Blood

The Hematoi descend from the unions of gods and mortals, and the children of two Hematoi-pure-bloods-have godlike powers. Children of Hematoi and mortals-well, not so much. Half-bloods only have two options: become trained Sentinels who hunt and kill daimons or become servants in the homes of the pures.Seventeen-year-old Alexandria would rather risk her life fighting than waste it scrubbing toilets, but she may end up slumming it anyway. There are several rules that students at the Covenant must follow. Alex has problems with them all, but especially rule #1:Relationships between pures and halfs are forbidden.Unfortunately, she's crushing hard on the totally hot pure-blood Aiden. But falling for Aiden isn't her biggest problem--staying alive long enough to graduate the Covenant and become a Sentinel is. If she fails in her duty, she faces a future worse than death or slavery: being turned into a daimon, and being hunted by Aiden. And that would kind of suck.

This book kind of reminds me of the Starcrossed trilogy I read not to long ago. It's pretty much the same story line... kinda. 
It has the Gods, the forbidden love triangle, where she can't be with one but can with the other. 

Alex is a ballsy character. She doesn't take any shit and seems to rush in too quickly into certain situations. She doesn't think first. 
One thing that Alex is truly afraid of, that all half-bloods are afraid of and that is becoming a slave/servant. 

She falls for Aiden pretty quickly, without too much chemistry between them. I felt like something was missing, that connection that would drive them to break the one rule that is engraved to them since birth. Half-bloods can't have a relationship with pures. 

Although I felt like the story was a slow start it was interesting to read. I loved her friendship with Caleb. I really liked his character. 


Then we have Seth, the Apollyon, the arrogant, self absorbed, reckless and so used to getting his way. I don't trust Seth, and I don't particularly like him but there is just something that makes you laugh when he opens his mouth. 

I do love Aiden though and I can see this up coming love triangle driving me mad. I HATE love triangles, people who can't make their minds up make me want to bang their head up a wall. It's like the feeling you get when you ask someone what they want to eat and they say you choose. So you choose but then they say 'no, I don't fancy that' it's frustrating as hell and all I wanted to do was groan all the way through it. 

Aiden is incredibly sweet though so he does have my vote.

Obsession (Arum Book One) By Jennifer L. Armentrout

Buy Link: Obsession

He's arrogant, domineering, and... To. Die. For.

Hunter is a ruthless killer. And the Department of Defense has him firmly in their grasp, which usually doesn't chafe too badly because he gets to kill bad guys. Most of the time he enjoys his job. That is, until he's saddled with something he's never had to do before: protect a human from his mortal enemy.

Serena Cross didn't believe her best friend when she claimed to have seen the son of a powerful senator turn into something...unnatural. Who would? But then she witnesses her friend's murder at the hands of what can only be an alien, thrusting her into a world that will kill to protect their secret.

Hunter stirs Serena's temper and her lust despite their differences. Soon he's doing the unthinkable breaking the rules he's lived by, going against the government to keep Serena safe. But are the aliens and the government the biggest threats to Serena's life...or is it Hunter?

Serena sees her best friend murdered after listening to her tell her the most craziest, outrageous story, ever. Why would she believe her friend? It sounds crazy? But, Serena trusts her, and although she doesn't want to believe her friend is going crazy, she wants to help. Only, minutes later she's murdered and Serena sees first hand what CRAZY her best friend was seeing. 

First off, I want to mention that it's been so hard for me to think of the Luxen as bad and the Arum good, to an extent. But after reading Book Five of the Lux series I know more to the story about the Luxen. 
Before I knew who this book was about, I wondered how I could ever read about a Luxen because before I knew Hunter, to me he was like a mass murderer LOL But he's so much more, more than he even realises it. 

When he takes Serena in, it's to protect her, even if he doesn't want to. But the beginning of their 'relationship' is so funny. If I had been Serena I would have freaked the fudge out, but she actually handled it pretty well. I think it had more to do with Hunter's mysterious, deadly, good looks then his bright personality. Because, let's face it, he wasn't exactly welcoming. 

Just like the Luxen, the Arum can read other peoples auras, as such and Serena is forever glowing red, with is arousal. So, he's pretty much walking around in an hardened state LOL
The banter between the two is epic, and so freaking funny. Another great couple. 

The book was better than I expected and I can understand now why people wanted me to read this before Opposition.

Opposition (Lux Series Book Five ) By jennifer L. Armentrout

Buy Link: Opposition

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.

Daemon will do anything to save those he loves, even if it means betrayal. But when it quickly becomes impossible to tell friend from foe, and the world is crumbling around them, they may lose everything 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.

Holy CrapBalls!!!!!

I can't even begin to rant over how epic this book was for me. I'm never going to get over this series. 
Everything I believed would happen in this book got thrown out of the window the second I started reading this one. 

Never in my wildest dreams did I believe it would end like it did. 

Daemon is one hell of a character and I'm going to miss him dearly. He's so freaking funny. His behavior, attitude and banter with everyone throughout the book had me cracking up. 
I love his bromance with Archer, who by the way, has become my top favourite character and I'm preying like hell he and Dee get their own book. I just love him. 
But I also loved not only Daemon's relationship with Luc's but everyone's. It's obvious the young boy is like a mafia boss to them all but deep down they all respect him and look up to him. I have to admire that. Especially when the kid eats snack boxes and drink juice boxes LOL That part had tears in my eyes. 

Then we have Hunter, the Arum, I freaking loved him. I loved how he is with everyone, but mostly Daemon. I think they secretly like each other, they're just to proud to admit it AHAHAHA

The book did have more tears install for us and I cried my freaking eyes out at certain parts, but all in all it was an action packed, drama, humorous novel that will have you addicted from beginning to end. It's the best £30.00 spent on Ebooks. (Would never spend this on any other book, let me assure you.) 


5* Amazing freaking stars. I can't even begin to tell you how much I've loved the journey of Katy and Daemon and their family and friends. I've never been so sad to say goodbye to characters before. 
I have just started Obsession, which is Hunter's story. I'm also glued to it and have found it hotter. ;) Something I wished we could have had with Katy and Daemon because the chemistry between those two is electric. 

Origin (Lux Series Book Four) By Jennifer L. Armentrout

Buy Link: Origin

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?

Yeah, this series just gets better and better. 

Not only does Daemon risk everything to go in and save Katy, but they also find out so many hidden secrets the Daedalus are hiding. 
The origin, my God, when they revealed what they were I couldn't... Jesus, it surprised me. And kind of freaked me out LOL
Daemon's reaction to the origin had me crying with laughter though. He literally had tears running down my face and my side hurt from laughing so much. I couldn't breath. 

Then there's Archer. Friend or Foe? 
Straight away I loved his character. I don't know why but there was something about him that had me drawn to him. I really liked him and it turned out I had every reason too. 

Their escape was boomtastic. I can't even explain and I'm not going to because it will ruin it. So much drama, so much explosions it was hard to keep up, but I did. 

Once they're out though, Katy finds it hard adjusting. It turns out she's been there for four months and it broke my heart. She can't contact her mom or anything because of the danger she'll put herself and her mom in. It really broke my heart, especially when Daemon was reunited with his family. 

I can't really go into much more but what happens after they escape will blow you away. Everything seems to happen so quickly, but so slowly too. There were parts in this book that had me crying my eyes out. 

But it was the ending that blew me away. I didn't think anything worse could happen but then it did and the ending.... Jesus, I can't even go there. I don't even know how to explain the cliffhanger we're left with. It's mind blowing.

NO ONE IS LIKE DAEMON BLACK.

When he set out to prove his feelings for me, he wasn't fooling around. Doubting him isn't something I'll do again, and now that we've made it through the rough patches, well... There's a lot of spontaneous combustion going on.

But even he can't protect his family from the danger of trying to free those they love.

After everything, I'm no longer the same Katy. I'm different... And I'm not sure what that will mean in the end. When each step we take in discovering the truth puts us in the path of the secret organization responsible for torturing and testing hybrids, the more I realize there is no end to what I'm capable. The death of someone close still lingers, help comes from the most unlikely source, and friends will become the deadliest of enemies, but we won't turn back. Even if the outcome will shatter our worlds forever.

Together we're stronger... and they know it.

Holy crap!!! 

This series just keeps getting better and better. I'm blown away. Jennifer is an amazing writer. I've never experienced this level of obsession for a series like I have this one. I can't stop reading them. I envy her writing and hope one day I can reach this level. 

So much loss, so much death is in this book. When we lose Adam, I didn't think I'd cry again during the book, but then I read Opal and I realised how wrong I was. Katy has to face so much throughout the book, along with coming to terms with the blame she harbors for everything that happened with Adam and coping with what is happening to her. 

It's still weird her mom not being in the picture that much. She really doesn't have any parental guidance. Not that she's immature or childish, she's anything but. She's actually one of the maturest out of the group. 

I love the connection between Daemon and Katy and by God it just gets strong during this book. It's mind blowing and every time they're close to becoming intimate they get interrupted and I'm usually one that skims through sex scenes because they all seem to be the same in books, but I was actually dying on the inside to know what it would be like between the two. But it's really PG, barely knowledgeable. It doesn't ruin the book, but it did disappoint me a little, but I can understand her keeping it PG. 

They face more obstacles and once again have to trust the person who has done nothing but lie and betray them. It was a recipe for disaster from the beginning. I don't know how they couldn't see it coming or plan ahead or put another plan in case. 

The ending however, blew my freaking mind. It was two in the morning and I had to buy the fourth book. There was no way around it. The book ended so shockingly and it has to be the best cliffhanger EVER!!! I screamed, literally. 
I don't think you could beat this series LOL

One thing I didn't mention in my other reviews was Katy's love for blogging and reviewing books. Now, I can relate with her love because it's something I LOVE doing, but with my writing taking off I haven't been able to give Lisa's book Reviews the love and dedication it deserves. Anyway, reading how she would video blog her reviews, etc had me coming up with an idea, so I may or may not do a video review of the entire series once I've finished. 

Highly recommend this series to ANYONE. I don't really think there's a certain age limit. I'd let a sixteen year old plus read this. 
I can't even rave enough about this series. 

Soooo freaking good. 

Also, my friend Charlotte is reading the series and is currently a book behind me and her level of excitement over the book is just the same. She hasn't been able to stop reading them. She didn't even need to read the blurb before giving the book a go ahead from my say so. She dived in and when she found out they were alien she was completely shocked. She didn't see it coming. 
Now she's onto book three and unable to stop reading or talking about it. I've been finding it hard to talk about my theory on certain things because she hates in when I tell her something she hasn't read yet. 

So.... If you've read this series or are about to and would love to talk about it, just comment below. 
We can talk about Daemon and is awesomeness and hotness or we could just talk about Flake and his continuous betrayal.

This is definitely a 5* for me but I don't need to tell you that.  

Onyx (Lux Series Book Two) By Jennifer L. Armentrout

Buy Link: Onyx

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 ARUM HAS COME TO TOWN

The Department of Defense is 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 couldn't dive into this book quick enough. After the way Daemon left the last book, warning Katy that he loved a challenge, I couldn't wait to read this one. 

There's so much going on, so many twists and turns and it blew me away. 

Blake, the new guy at Katy's school comes out of nowhere. Literally. I had my suspicions along with Daemon about him, but nothing prepared me for what happened. I was so shocked, but even when the truth, part truth, is revealed I still had my doubts. I was right too. Nothing is as it seems with him. 

Katy goes on a date with Blake but she's unsure whether it's because he's 'normal' or because she wants to make Daemon jealous. The chemistry between the two is off the charts and with each chapter it becomes hotter, more intense. I never knew what to expect when it came to the two. One second I was sure they were gonna kill each other the next I thought they'd jump each other. 

So many secrets were revealed, so many lies told it was a whirlwind of emotions. 
We lose a little of Katy, the old Katy and in her place is a confident, strong willed woman. 

The two are in more danger and it only grows further into the book. The ending had me in tears and I couldn't breathe. Everything just seemed to happen at once, it was so intense. 

Onto book three it is.....

Obsidian (Lux Series #1) By Jennifer L. Armentrout

Buy Link: Obsidian

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

Holy fudge balls....

I don't even know what to say or where to start because I love this book so faking much. 

I literally downloaded a sample, a bit wary of the price at £4.99 but honestly? I never would normally buy an EBOOK for that price, but this series is so worth the extra pennies I normally spend. 
I didn't even need to download the sample. I literally read chapter one and was hooked and immediately bought the ebook. 

Katy moves to West Virgina before starting her senior year. When her mom tells her she needs to get out, meet new people she pushes Katy to go next door, introduce herself to the two kids she had seen. 
Katy, basically the adult of the house decides to kill two birds with one stone, going over and asking for directions to the nearest shop whilst introducing herself. 
Daemon was rude, cocky and shirtless. I need to stress on the word shirtless LOL because holy hell I am seriously in love with him. Even with his arrogant, cocky, rude self. Everything about him is sexy, self assured and my god, dangerous. 

Anyway, Katy befriends his twin sister, Dee and she's freaking lovely. She's bubbly, outgoing and obviously hiding something. 

Then Katy is roped into going out with Daemon by herself after he offended her. Dee had blackmailed him into going and he has no choice, but Katy, although she wants to kill him, actually finds herself having a good time. 

There's a huge spark between the two and you see it with every page you turn. It's freaking hot. I loved the chemistry and the connection the two have. 

Then Katy starts back up at school after being attacked coming out of the library. Nothing in the town seems to add up and she has some sort of answer to why when rumors fill the school about Daemon and Dee. 

What she's about to find out though, changes her life forever.... 

I couldn't put this book down. I literally had a hard time putting it down to answer the phone or anything. I was literally glued to it. When I first saw Alien, I was like, NOPE!! Nothing could make me want to read about an Alien. But trust me, this isn't your normal green, skinny body, big headed creature. 
There's a deep story behind everything and I can't believe how much detail has been put into the book. It's brilliant. Beautifully written and Jennifer L Armentrout is such a talented author for coming up with such an incredible story. 
The second I finished book one I was wondering why the hell there wasn't a movie of this series yet. Like seriously, it would be one I'd watch over and over if given the chance. 

I can't stress enough to the people who haven't read this book yet to read it. I've loved every word written and already on book three LOL

Tempting the bodyguard By Jennifer L.Armentorout

Buy link: Tempting the bodyguard

He can protect her from everyone except himself.

Alana Gore is in danger. A take-no-prisoners publicist, her way with people has made her more than a few enemies over the years, but a creepy stalker is an entirely different matter. She needs a bodyguard, and the only man she can ask is not only ridiculously hot, but reputed to have taste for women that goes beyond adventurous.

Chandler Gamble has one rule: don't protect anyone you want to screw. But with Alana, he's caught between his job and his increasingly hard libido. On one hand, Alana needs his help. On the other, Chandler wants nothing more than to take the hot volcano of a woman in hand. To make her writhe in pleasure, until she's at his complete mercy.

She needs protection. He needs satisfaction. And the moment the line is crossed, all hell will break loose...

It took me a while to finally get into this novel and even then I still found it lacked something to keep my interest. I don't know whether it was because of how it was written as it was told from someone telling the story and not from one of the characters POV.

That said I rated the novel a 3* as they story line is really good. 

I haven't read the first in the series so I never understood their POV on Alana. 

3*
