I wasn’t sure how well I’d connect with a fantasy romance featuring a human with an alien love interest, but I LOVED IT!!! It’s clear that Jennifer Armentrout is the queen of fantasy reads!

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.

READ MY BOOK REVIEW

​𝗥𝗘𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗪 𝗦𝗡𝗔𝗣𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗧: I wasn’t sure how well I’d connect with a fantasy romance featuring a human with an alien love interest, but I LOVED IT!!! It’s clear that Jennifer Armentrout is the queen of fantasy reads!

Did I expect to like this book? Yes. I mean it’s written by Jennifer Armentrout after all. But did I expect to love it as much as I did? NOPE. This book exceeded all of my expectations! Fantasy novels are still newer to me as a reader, but I think this book along with ACOTAR is the perfect place to start for all the newbies to the genre. This book leans more towards the young adult side of the romance spectrum and ACOTAR is CLOSER to adult (the first book anyway) so if you have an age preference in terms of characters you can refer to this. Aside from that, this book is truly exceptional. I loved the way the 𝗘𝗡𝗘𝗠𝗜𝗘𝗦-𝗧𝗢-𝗟𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗦 𝗧𝗥𝗢𝗣𝗘 was used here (do they REALLY hate each other or is it just a facade), and how friendship played a huge role in how everything turned out in the novel. Dee is such a fantastic secondary character and I hope to see a lot more of her in the other books in the series. As for the 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗥𝗢𝗠𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘 this one is definitely a slow burn even though us readers can SEE the chemistry building between Daemon and Katy. You can tell they don’t WANT to like each other but they can’t help but being drawn to one another. Honestly, “THE FEELS” is right on point here.

Would I recommend Obsidian? Absolutely! This book has it all: action, romance, interesting and unique characters, aliens in love with humans, galaxies far far away, and so much more! I highly recommend it to those who enjoy the fantasy genre and those who may have been hesitant to read it! It’s worth it especially if you’re looking for a quick and satisfying read!
