Cover Reveal: Opal by Jennifer L. Armentrout

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.

The last thing Dawson Black expected was Bethany Williams. As a Luxen, an alien life form on Earth, human girls are…well, fun. But since the Luxen have to keep their true identities a secret, falling for one would be insane. Dangerous. Tempting. Undeniable. 

Bethany can’t deny the immediate connection between her and Dawson. And even though boys aren’t a complication she wants, she can’t stay away from him. Still, whenever they lock eyes, she’s drawn in. Captivated. Lured. Loved. 

Dawson is keeping a secret that will change her existence...and put her life in jeopardy. But even he can’t stop risking everything for one human girl. Or from a fate that is as unavoidable as love itself.

My Take:
When the government has a handle on what, where, when, and how you do things its tough to even consider love into that equation. Especially when your in their sights because of where you come from, and its not from Kansas thats for sure. For Dawson, life is supposed to be like this school, protect your family and find someone just like you. But when a new girl transfers in and sits near Dawson, its kinda hard to think straight. For Bethany, moving into a new town was hard and making new friends was even harder, so being new isn't always a good thing. Unless of course their is a hot guy looking at you the way you dream about being looked at. Falling in love wasn't ever suppose to be so hard but because of their differences and of course his family on his case, falling for someone of is human never felt so easy for Dawson. Being with Bethany is like as easy as breathing of course its until she knows what he is she might not feel the same.

Finding out your boyfriend isn't from around is just another obstacle that Bethany has to think about, of course with danger at every corner its even harder to have one simple date. With weird glares from others like him Bethany also has to very cautious about the government and of course enemies even greater than the feds. Yup life just keeps on truckin' right, love isn't always easy and in order for them to be together they need to go through all obstacles.

I really enjoyed this just like I did with the first one, Dawson is so much more easy to actually swoon over I mean Daemon is HOT but his brother is more soulful and he appreciates what he has and lives in the now, I guess reading from Dawson point of view made me also realize how is brother can be so hostile and because of any threat. I loved the fact though that even though Daemon didn't like them together he knew she made his brother happy and he left them, I so swooned after that. Yup with these two brothers its hard to choose its like TVD all over again don't know which on I want more all I know is that this was so epically written I am so looking forward to the next one 2012 coudln't have been a better year to bring us these amazing men.

5/5 Stars

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.
