Just the facts:
Overall: 4
Stars each!

then suffered the worst book hangover. EVER.)
Believe-ability: I daydream about the created world and wonder how I fit in.

What is this series about you ask? Well, it’s basically
the love child of Twilight and I Am Number Four. That is, if Twilight and I Am
Number Four were to hook up and make babies. Sexy alien babies. If you think that
seems a little ridiculous you’d be wrong. It’s hot. (There really is more to it
than that, I promise. You can check these out if you want “real” snippets of
Obsidian, Onyx, and Opal.)
So, to convince you, here’s
my list of top five reasons why you have to pick up this series. I promise you
won’t regret it.
5.) Suspense and mystery. You
are never really sure who you can trust. Human friends? Luxen? Daemon? The DOD?
You just never know.
4.) Armentrout knows how to
write a romance. That’s not usually my thing, but wow. She’s good.
Unfortunately, she’s also good at writing a cliffhanger ending. I’m really not
happy about that part though. Not happy at all.
3.) Unlike many other book
relationships, Katy and Daemon’s relationship is playful. In so many books the
main characters develop a relationship that is “adult” and serious. (I have a
theory about this but I won’t go into it now.) Life changing conversations and
solemn confessions of love ensue. Boring. Katy and Daemon’s is much the
opposite. They are always at each others throats or making suggestive comments
towards one another. Let me tell you, no committed relationship (i.e. marriage)
is very enjoyable if it is lacking playfulness. Would you really want to spend
a lifetime with someone who can’t be fun when the mood strikes? Not me.
2.) The dialogue is downright
hilarious. I don’t think I’ve laughed or giggled so much when I’ve read a book.
Here’s two of my favorites: “Chad does smell
good actually. I think he wears a newer version of Old Spice. Not the kind my
dad wears, because that would be gross.” And “There was no doubt in my mind that Daemon believed revenge was a dish best
served in my face.” (I will warn you that the language in this series is
pretty colorful, but this is one time
where it didn’t actually bother me. As a matter of fact, I’ve never heard such
combinations of words before. So, kudos on that.)
1.) Aliens with superhuman
powers. BAM. No explanation needed.
P.S. Just so you know, there are more books expected in this series. If you start reading now, you're going to be waiting for release dates like me. Boo.
