Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Goodreads 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.

My Thoughts:
I have been dying to read Obsidian, and I have to say it didn't disappoint, not in the least. I loved everything about it! Katy is definitely one of my favorite heroines. It was so easy to relate to her. She's hilarious, spunky, smart, strong, loyal, brave and doesn't take any of Daemon's crap. All in all, I just plain adore and admire her. Daemon is one hot alien. He is a complete douche and jerk, but you can't help but love him. I mean come on, it's Daemon. He's just that awesome! He's arrogant, annoying, but also sweet, and caring. *sigh* I just love him!

From the first encounter, you can definitely see the sparks that fly between Katy and Daemon. They argue and insult one another almost all the time, but it never gets boring. It's one of the things in the story that I actually look forward to because it's just that good and it's also hilarious. The chemistry between the two is also great. You definitely feel the tension between them and the "I hate you but want you" vibe that comes from them both. There were plenty of cute and steamy scenes in this story. The whole alien and Luxen story was also very fascinating and captivating.

I enjoyed each and every moment of Obsidian. It was such a fun and entertaining read. I couldn't put it down. I loved it! I can't wait for Onyx to come out and read more about Katy and Daemon.
