my thoughts in a few sentences: I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little disappointed in Onyx by Jennifer L. Armentrout. Obsidian is a fast-paced, entertaining, and sexy story about a boy and his sister in hiding, and about the new girl next door who uncovers their secrets. That line of the story may be the typical paranormal book plot, but it REALLY worked as a whole. The first book is addictive, strong, and the paranormal element is a nice little side bit. But, my focus is, and will always be, Daemon and Kat’s relationship. I liked the slow-burn Sexy Times tension in Obsidian, and the promise of a challenge for Daemon to work up to in Onyx by Jennifer L. Armentrout. But, Kat’s OVERABUNDANCE of RESISTANCE got to be irritating and with an obvious plot device feel. It distracted me from everything else that was going on, and ultimately brought down my enjoyment of the book. HOWEVER. The last hundred or so pages do REALLY WELL for making up for that.
hooking first lines: "Ten seconds passed between when Daemon Black took his seat and when he poked me under my shoulder blade with his trusty pen. Ten whole seconds."
