holy hot aliens everywhere!! *swoon*

OBSIDIAN BY JENNIFER L. ARMENTROUT IS  A MUST-READ!

yes. It was so good, the capital letters were necessary. 

How to start this review? Hmmm....

Oh! the cover! Let's gush over that first! I can honestly say this is one of the best covers I've ever seen. The girl and guy are hott!! & they fit the characters perfectly! There's even an entire goodreads forum dedicated to them! and there's interviews with them and everything. 

& the actual characters.... WOW! i think only Jennifer L. Armentrout can make aliens sound THIS attractive. Except, attractive is an understatement: they pass good looking and enter the realm of irresistible. & I don't care how many times Katy denies it, Daemon's smart mouth is a turn-on!

To say I like Daemon is like saying... well, I can't think of anything appropriate because I'm distracted by hi hotness, but it's like saying something that's really obvious and an understatement. 

It's really disappointing that he's not real, but good at the same time; since if he were real, my life would be utterly consumed by him. I'd probably become a stalker.

& the banter Daemon and Katy have going on! That is some seriously hot chemistry; it's a wonder they don't throttle each other right then and there! I kinda wish they would...

Katy's my kind of heroine: sassy, level-headed, smart, bookish, determined... I love her! I sort of wanna be her, too -especially if she get to make out with Daemon ;). 

This is the first alien story that really catches my attention; Jennifer Armentrout put a new twist on aliens when she made them out of light, but kept it classic by making their enemies the shadows. 

The plot is really interesting and I'm sure it'll thicken in the next book with the DOD breathing down their backs and the banter between Daemon and Katy can only get better since they've got that connection now...

Holy alien babies, I can't wait for Onyx!!!

Wanna know what I'm talking about? GO READ THE BOOK!!!!

Cravings!!

It's Crave by Melissa Darnell

It's the first installment in a series called the Clann (yes, that second n is supposed to be there).
It was interesting because it gives a new outlook on vampires & witches. Usually, the vampires' main enemies are werewolves, but here it's witches! & the heroine just so happens to be a hybrid of the two races. To top it all off, the love interest is next-in-line for leadership of the witches (known as the Clann)
It's like a paranormal Romeo & Juliet!
The heroine, Savannah, is just discovering what she is. The fact that she's a dhampir (half-vampire & half-witch, in this case) is the reason her group of friends suddenly stopped hanging out with her and started avoiding & ridiculing her.
When she comes back after going through puberty (you'll have to read the book to really understand that part) she begins to exhibit new characteristics and she also begins to reconnect with the boy she liked so long ago; Tristin, the future leader of the Clann.

The story was interesting enough; although you'd think that with all the vampires and witches, there'd be more action (but maybe the author is saving that for the next book; at the end, it seems like she's building up to that). & I'd like to see more of the other characters: Anna -the sarcastic best friend-, the mom, the grandma, Tristin's sister; they all added a lot to the story.
I liked that is was in alternating point of views; both characters -Tristin & Savannah- were great and I liked being able to see what was going on from both sides.
