Experience the epic love story of OBSIDIAN as told by its
hero, Daemon Black…
I knew the moment Katy Swartz moved in next door, there was
going to be trouble. Lots of it.
And trouble’s the last thing I need, since I’m not exactly
from around here. My people arrived on Earth from Lux, a planet thirteen
billion light years away. Plus, if there’s one thing I know, it’s that humans
can’t be trusted. We scare them. We can do things they only dream about, and honestly,
we make them look weak as hell. ‘Cuz they are.
But Kat is getting to me in ways no one else has, and I
can't stop myself from wanting her—or wanting to use my powers to protect her.
She makes me weak, and I’m the strongest of our kind, tasked with protecting us
all. So this one simple girl…she can mean the end for us. Because the Luxen
have an even bigger enemy—the Arum, and I need to stay on my game.
Falling for Katy—a human—won't just place her in danger. It
could get us all killed, and that’s one thing I’ll never let happen...
Yeah i'm giving this a 5 stars...why? well one of the main reasons is because...well...THERE'S A BUTLOAD OF DAEMON BLACK!!! let me tell you a little about Daemon Black-there's some of this...(P.S those 4 GIFs are from Pepe Toth-the cover model for Daemon-he looks exactly like i pictured him in the book!!!)
YEAH ALL THESE SCENES ACTUALLY HAPPEN IN THESE BOOKS! Now
imagine, just imagine reading THREE books from his POV. His snark, his vocal
hotness (i don't think that exists but whatever), his deep love for Kat, his
attitude and his over protectiveness.
Daemon Black is the KING OF SNARK! Don't believe me?
“Jesus, all this thinking about my feelings and hers was
probably going to give me a period.”
Yeah and that's just one quote from 1 book! Now imagine a
whole book filled with his humor and his thoughts *sigh*. I cannot tell you how
much i LOVED every second of this book. I was laughing so much because the way
he thinks was just so hilarious and sweet at the same time!
AND there are more scenes that we've never seen in the Lux
series like a special pancake scene! Not only that but we got to see a lot of
Adam, we really learn to love his character! And Dee!!! The way she teased
Daemon endlessly about how he used to visually stalk Kat was absolutely hilarious!
Before going into this book all i was thinking was...
But we don't only explore the EPIC love story we've all come
to idolize, we get to know more about the other aliens and i gotta say, i don't
hate Ash as much as i used to. Again i just have to mention those sweet and
funny moments between Dee and Daemon, their sibling relationship is something
to idolize as much as his relationship with Kat!!
I appreciated that we didn't go through ALL the scenes that
Kat went through from Daemon's POV, we got new added scenes with the DOD and
Dawson!
Honestly guys i know you'll want the paperback to match the
collection, hell even i want it! But trust me, YOU WILL NOT BE SATISFIED WITH
THE PAPERBACK BECAUSE IT ONLY HAS OBSIDIAN FROM DAEMON'S POV!!! The digital has
Obsidian, Onyx and Opal!!! So yeah this shouldn't even really be a question! If
you really want the paperback, by all means get it, so will i, but make sure
you have the digital also!! Because one book from Daemon's POV will not quench
our thirst!!
I cannot explain how much i loved this book as much as all
the others. Just-just go read it NOW!!! Anyways hope you guys are having a good
weekend! Let's read some more of Daemon's quotes *gooey eyes*
The first one below is one of my favs!!

Oh man... I haven't bought Oblivion yet because I can't decide if I want the ebook or the paperback. I know the ebook has SO much more but I want to add the book to my shelves next to the other books. SIGH.
