Opal cover reveal!



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 of. 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.

Review in english: Obsidian(Lux #01) by Jennifer L. Armentrout


Obsidian”(Lux #01), by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Review
I enjoyed EVERY single page of Obsidian! I didn’t know what was all the fuss about when I started reading it, but because it has got only great reviews from a blogger I trust, I let myself on her hand. And I don’t regret it at all. If I hadn’t found out from her about this book, I’m not sure I would have ever come to read it. And that’s how I was about to lose the chance to taste this awesome book.  
  It kept me hooked, didn’t let me steal a single breath, not a single moment of relief, that’s how marvelous it was.

Katy’s story isn’t quite happy because her dad died three years ago of a brain tumor. Trying to live their life without remembering him at every step, her mom decides to move from the sunny Florida to West Virginia, in the small city of Petersburg.

In this new town Katy tries to fit in, even though she thinks her first day at school will be horrible. Everyone wants to know the new girl in town, don’t they? The first step to fit in that small community from Petersburg is making new friends, beginning with her teenage neighbors. But this is so not her will, her mother keeps telling her that she has to make friends, not to spend her days closed in her room, with her laptop in her arms and writing on her books blog.

Trying to show her mother that she likes this new home, she goes and knocks at the door of that boy and girl next door, asking for directions to a grocery store. The boy - the one her mother called a hottie (and she was so right!), opens the door half naked, and acts very disrespectful to Katy, who is obviously charmed by his good looks and his remarkable green eyes.
After this incident, Katy decides that it’s best for her to stay away from this guy, but when she meets his incredible sister, Dee, she realizes it will be hard for her to do so.
Dee is a sweetheart from all points of view, she is funny, and she is treating Katy so nice, that she starts wondering how’s possible for a person like Dee to have a brother like Daemon (yes, that’s his name – perfectly suitable for his awful attitude).
The two girls become BFF’s quickly, which is not very pleasant for Daemon, who still seems to hate Katy almost to death. He makes her life almost impossible when she is close to Dee, trying to keep the two of them apart, always coming with the same excuse: that she is not like them. Like them? How? What is so different about them? Katy has no idea what is he talking about, and she thinks that the whole situation is extremely annoying.
When Katy finds out by mistake Daemon’s very well hidden secret, a matter of life and death, they are taking their relationship at a whole new other level.  And soon, their worst enemies are showing off, more scary and powerful than ever.

Gosh, how much I love this book! I finished reading it yesterday and since then my mind is blown up by Daemon and Katy, Dee and the story of the three of them. I don’t even know when was the last time I was so haunted by a book. It happened long time ago and trust me, I’ve read a lot of books lately.
I love the way Jennifer wrote Obsidian, it is exactly what I was expecting from her. With enough description, very well built characters with strong personalities and a great, incredible story that makes you wish for more and more. It’s impossible to get bored of this book, it does always surprises you, at every step. That’s what I liked about it Unpredictability is everywhere, which is wonderful, because when I read a book, it always happens to me to guess what is going to happen next. But this one got me with my guard down, and my predictions were just that: some predictions, which never came true.
 If you ever get to read this book, I guarantee you will fall in love with Daemon Black and his unpredictable character.
I recommend you with the greatest pleasure to read „Obsidian”, it’s a must-read! I’m curious if you share my opinion about this book (and about Daemon :D).
Another reason why I think you should read it, is her uniqueness, and of course because Jennifer Armentrout is a very talented writer.
It’s impossible not to like every single part of this book! :D


Some quotes I fell in love with:
''He was a jerk. Moody. But there had been brief moments that I’d spent with him—like a nanosecond—when I thought I might have seen the real Daemon. At
least a better Daemon. And that part made me curious. And the other side, the jerky one, yeah, that part didn’t make me curious.
It sort of excited me.
“So, Kitten, if I’m going to be your babysitter for the evening, what’s in it
for me?”
My eyes immediately narrowed. “First off, I didn’t ask you to babysit me. And you made me come over here. And don’t call me Kitten.”
“Kitten,” he murmured lazily. A clear warning in his eyes.
I ignored it. “Not even if you were the last thing that looked like a human on the face of this Earth. Got that? Capiche?”

The Lux Series, by Jennifer L. Armentrout

__________________________________________________________________________________
''Obsidian''-Lux 01, Jennifer L. Armentrout
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.

''Shadows''-Lux 0.5, Jennifer L. Armentrout 
The last thing Dawson Black expected was Bethany Williams. As a Luxen, an alien life form on Earth, human girls are…well, fun. But since the Luxen have to keep their true identities a secret, falling for one would be insane.

Dangerous. Tempting. Undeniable.

Bethany can’t deny the immediate connection between her and Dawson. And even though boys aren’t a complication she wants, she can’t stay away from him. Still, whenever they lock eyes, she’s drawn in.

Captivated. Lured. Loved.

Dawson is keeping a secret that will change her existence...and put her life in jeopardy. But even he can’t stop risking everything for one human girl. Or from a fate that is as unavoidable as love itself.

''Onyx''-Lux#02, Jennifer L. Armentrout
 Being connected to Daemon Black sucks…

Daemon’s determined to prove what he feels for me is more than a product of our bizarre connection. I’ve sworn him off even though he’s running more hot than cold these days. But against all common sense, I’m falling for him. Hard.

Our relationship issues aren’t out biggest problem…

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 when a new boy shows up a school with a secret of his own, things get complicated fast. I need to choose between my own instincts and Daemon’s.

But then everything changes…

I’ve seen someone who shouldn’t be alive. Daemon’s never going to stop searching until 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.


Si un filmulet facut de mine: :D
             Ati citit cartile? V-au placut? Eu acum sunt la ''Obsidian'', si deja prevad ca o sa-mi placa mult.  

#Daemon Invasion


Over the last couple of weeks, you’ve heard us talking about the upcoming #daemoninvasion and we’re so excited to finally share with you what is going on.
Really excited.

The beautiful and uber cool models, Pepe Toth and Sztella Tziotziosz, who grace the Lux covers, will be joining us in the United States!  You heard right.  They are flying here, from Hungary to spend a few days as Daemon and Katy! While they are here, they will be working with Vania, from VLC Productions (the team behind Cassandra Clare’s The Mortal Instruments, Melissa de La Cruz, Kimberly Derting, Moira Young, Kami Garcia and Margret Stohl, Hillary Duff, Lauren Destefano, and many, many more authors’ book trailers), to film book trailers for the Lux Series.

During the filming in Atlanta, they will be accompanying Entangled, VLC, and me on tour! What does that mean? You get to meet them. In the flesh. They will be participating in the signings and events. At those signings, we’ll be giving away signed (by Pepe and Sztella and, not as exciting, by me) posters, photos, and other swag. There will also be meet and greet events you can join in on.

At each signing, there will be advanced copies of Onyx given away!

And to top things off (as if this isn’t enough, but we don’t do anything small), there’s something very, very exciting in the works! It involves advanced copies of Opal, water, and a little destination known as the Bahamas.

I am not kidding.

This will be epic.

Aare you excited? I am! This tour is going to be so, so much fun, and I’m so thrilled that Pepe and Sztella are a part of it. We owe them a huge thank you and a giant welcome making the 16 hour flight to meet the readers of the Lux Series.  You!
