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.

My Take:

HavIng a connection to someone is one thing add in the fact that he is an alien from another planet and you have Daemon Black waiting for you. Katy has it bad or good, either way you put it her life just got complicated. She is connected to Daemon and has no idea if the connection influences her feelings towards him or not. Of course Daemon doesn't help because he is the biggest distraction on the planet, and Katy needs some time.

In comes another distraction, Blake who is new and nice even, but Damon doesn't approve of the time he is spending with her. But Katy doesn't see any danger in spending some time with Blake. Of course what Katy doesn't see is that Blake has a secret and he knows she has one also. Add in the fact that Katy has powers which are similar to Daemon is tough. What is a girl to do but try and find out the how and why of it all, Katy just has to realize she puts not only herself in danger but also those around her.

In Onyx, you got the sense of her side of the connection that both Daemon and Katy try so hard to hide. Even Dee sees that Katy is spending a lot of time with Daemon which could be good or bad. Blake was a little sketchy to me, the moment he stepped in and didn't question anything strange happening around Katy, that was a warning sign. Of course if Daemon was here he would back me up completely and say the same thing. I fell in deep with Daemon because everything he would say had me off my seat. I also saw Katy's reasons to hide her feelings and to see if they where their, and even though she fought till the end she also saw how much Daemon cared about her and he is willing to do anything for her. If I whore her shows for a minute I don't think I would be able to stop myself. Sorry Katy just saying.:) 

5/5 stars- Loved this so much got my sister to love the series as well

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.

My Take:

When your new to a small town in the middle of well no where it's hard trying to even think about making friends and for  Katy making an effort in a small town is crazy to even consider it. Katy is used to being alone though, she manages her blog and loves to find that next great book. So when her mom says to make the effort and introduce herself to the neighbors she does just that. What she didn't expect was to the see the most amazing guy who belonged on billboard ads and be seen everywhere, but that allusion is shattered the moment he opens his mouth. Yup life was a lot better without someone like Daemon to be an ass, and because his twin sister has an interest in Katy and wants to be her friend, so Katy of course wants to Dee friend as well. Daemon hates their friendship and even as so much as tells Dee in front of Katy that this shouldn't be happening. What is his deal right, can't a girl be friends without any complications.

The answer should have never been so hard to hear and when he tells her that his family isn't from around their its hard to believe. Because when a hot alien comes and rescues you any one would run for the hills right? For Katy though because she is 'glowing' with his essence, she needs to be near Daemon at all times. Like thats going to happen, she wouldn't even hung out with him if he was the last alien on earth. Except with just his look he is able to get under Katy skin and she doesn't like it one bit.

With light comes dark and because of her essence she is target number 1. Life shouldn't ever feel this complicated right, liking a guy and hating the same guy should be easy right. Nope, Katy has to not only look over her shoulder for the bad guys she also has to stay away from Ash who just happens to be Daemon's ex and of course one of them. Yup who said life couldn't get interesting in a small town and for Katy her connection to the biggest ass is just one of those things on her list. I loved this because 1 it's by Jennifer and 2 hot guy on cover = hot guy in my fantasies yup dreaming never felt so intriguing before.

5/5 stars, Daemon is now on my mind every second its kinda weird.
