Synopsis:
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.
Review:
5 Stars
Does one even want to know how many times I've reread this series when I was in high school? Maybe 4 or 5 times.
This is the first time I'd say in five years that I've read this book and have fallen in love with it all over again. Obsidian is one of the first books that I read in early high school that made me fall in love with paranormal romance.
And truth be told, it's probably the first young adult book I have read in the last two or three years.
The story starts off with Katy and her mom as they are settling in from their move from Florida to West Virginia. Katy meets her wonderful neighbor Daemon life becomes a little more interesting espionage when his sister Dee wants to become friends with Katy.
Despite Katy's less than stellar first impression of Daemon, she and Dee hits it off despite them being different. But soon, weird things starts to happen that don't quite add up and Daemon brushes it off.
It seems like with Katy and Daemon, just when things are moving forward something happens that takes them back to square one.
When school starts back, it only gets worse with their relationship becomes even rockier and Katy finally learns what has been happening since she has moved to West Virginia.
There was some much that I forgot while rereading this book, and I fell in love with this story the same way I did the first time around as I got drawn into Katy and Daemon's story with their banter and tension!
Happy reading until next time,
