Waiting on Wednesday



Photobucket



Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking the Spine to highlight upcoming releases that we are excited for.  Here is our pick this week:




Opal (Lux, #3) 
Expected Release: December 11 2012


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.(Goodreads)




Why are we excited?

Daemon Black is the sexiest alien I have ever come across.  The ending to the 2nd book, Onyx was sexy, surprising and we cannot wait to see the direction the 3rd book takes.   If you have not read Obsidian and Onyx, do it...NOW!

Obsidian (A Lux Novel) by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Published May 8 2012

Obsidian (Lux, #1)

Synopsis (Goodreads)

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.


Review: 5 Stars 

I HEART ALIENS!  

Not since Twilight has a young adult book consumed my every waking moment!  I think Jennifer Armentrout is one of my new favorite authors.  This is going to be a great series and I cannot wait for Onyx! 

The male lead, Daemon is "drool-worthy".  Who knew being poked with a pen could be so sexy?   The female lead, Katy, was funny and smart, not to mention a book blogger!   The sexual tension and insults between the two are entertaining.   I was waiting for them to give into their animal passion and finally I got what I wanted...a HOT make out scene.

I want an alien for my very own!!
