Onyx - Jennifer L. Armentrout Review

Onyx - Jennifer L. Armentrout

After reading Onyx I feel the same way I did about Obsidian, left feeling extremely satisfied and begging for more and then there’s the depression that comes next knowing I’m going to have to wait a few more months for the next book.

This book was even better than the first and that’s saying something. The story was such a roller coaster and there were a lot of times where something totally unexpected would happen and surprise me, leaving me to question what was going to happen next..
A lot more happened in the second book, and I feel like most second books the story is really starting to go somewhere fascinating. I love how there wasn’t just a Daemons side of the story to tell while Katy sat back and took it all in, she has her own part now wanting you to find out more and more until there was no more pages left. Her and Daemon being connected changed things not just for Daemon but for Katy too.

The characters go into more depth in the second book, you find out a lot more about Dawson and Bethany and not just about their past but their present. A few things happened that left me going dumb struck.
You also meet a few new characters, ones you think you may trust and then turn out to be the opposite of trustworthy. Like the first book the new characters were unique, interesting and not in any way boring.

Daemon try's to prove that he likes Katy and it’s not just because of their newfound connection, throughout the book they try to figure out what caused it and you learn about what it means as the story progresses. But don’t worry even though Daemon is trying to play nice guy he definitely does not lack in the smart ass and cocky parts of his charming personality. Nearing the end of the book Daemon showed more caring qualities of himself and you could see he genuinely cared about Katy. I felt all sorts of emotions while reading this book depending on what part I was up to. There were times I couldn’t help laughing and there were times I couldn’t help but tear up a bit.
By the end of the book I think Katy and Daemon learn to trust each other and it’s useless to pretend they don’t have feelings for one another anymore, the cards are all out on the table and I’m super excited for book three!

Obsidian - Jennifer L. Armentrout

This book was not what I expected but in a good unexepcted kind of way.
I will admit at first I wasn’t so sure, and was getting a little bored at the start but as I got more into it I absolutely could not put it down.
After reading this book I will never think of aliens the same. When most of us hear the word alien we think slimy, green, long fingered ET’s, right? Well this book changed my whole perspective on them and taught me to be more open minded.

When Katy and her mum move towns after the loss of her dad they try to find a new start in a small town. The new neighbours next door are mysterious and after getting off to a rocky start with the hot brother Damen, Katy becomes friends with the twin Dee. Theres something off about the sibblings next door and as the story progesses you find out why.
I loved jeniffers take on aliens and the fact they weren’t weird creatures but people of light, it was new and different and I liked it.
The whole dynamics of the story from what it was about and how it was written, was done extremely well. The plot was really interesting and it was a great change from your normal angel/faerie/vampire kind of books, it did not dissapoint in the unique factor.

I loved Katy and Damens love/hate relationship, Damen was a jerk a lot of the time and had me wanting to choke him more than once. There were times he would show other sides of himself (nicer sides) but then it was like he remembered he had to be a jerk and I would be left going “noo you were getting along stop being a grade A douchebag”!
He was very protective of his sister and you could tell how much he cared about her. Family is definetly important to him and Dee.
Katy was a strong headed independent person who could hold her own and had me cheering throughout the story, she was different and I loved that she liked to read and blog. It was a good change to have a character in the book who wasn’t so obsessed with a guy that everything else became unimportant.
The other characters in the book were great and I didn’t not like any of them imperticular.

The story was definetly fascinating and had me turning the pages wondering what was next. I can’t exactly explain what it was that drew me in but it did and was one of the best books I have read in a while. The book had me forgetting where I was and laughing out loud, and in return getting weird looks from people around me.
A 5 star read for me, will definetly be reading the next book Onyx.
