Origin

Daemon will do anything to get Katy back.
After the successful but disastrous raid on Mount Weather, he’s facing the impossible. Katy is gone. Taken. Everything becomes about finding her. Taking out anyone who stands in his way? Done. Burning down the whole world to save her? Gladly. Exposing his alien race to the world? With pleasure.
All Katy can do is survive.
Surrounded by enemies, the only way she can come out of this is to adapt. After all, there are sides of Daedalus that don’t seem entirely crazy, but the group’s goals are frightening and the truths they speak even more disturbing. Who are the real bad guys? Daedalus? Mankind? Or the Luxen?
Together, they can face anything. But the most dangerous foe has been there all along, and when the truths are exposed and the lies come crumbling down, which side will Daemon and Katy be standing on? And will they even be together?




Origin (Lux, #4)Origin by Jennifer L. Armentrout
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

There are no words to describe what went on this book. It was a shocking, heart-stopping, pulse-pounding, romantic novel. This is the best book out of all the Lux books!! I have been wanting to read this book for a while. I couldn't wait for it to come out, but now that it is, all I have to say is: I can't wait for the next book, Opposition. Daemon and Katy are great individuals. Daemon has an act for being insulting in a laughable way, great under pressure, loving, considerate, and strong. Let's not forget he is also egotistical and HOT!!!!. Take it from Kat, he has a huge ego. Katy is beautiful, strong, adaptable (obviously), loving ,and smart-aleck. But they compliment each other really well. Their heart beats are in-sync. Now, back to the book. IT was way different then the previous three. It had a lot more action, betrayal, drama, but not a lot of romance and humor. That ok for this book because this had to be a serious book, but it would only have humor when Daemon gets Katy back. There is a killer cliffhanger. Now we have to wait for the last book to come out. It will be a long wait, but we have three books filled with Daemon being Daemon and Katy safe with Daemon. To those who haven't read Obsidian, you HAVE TO!!!! It is a way different book then other alien books. I recommend the entire Lux Series by Jennifer L. Armentrout.

Partials

Partials (Partials, #1)Partials by Dan Wells
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I thought it was a good book. A real page-turner. A virus that kills newborn babies, a corrupt government, and people who look human but aren't called Partials. What more could u ask for? How about a girl that would do anything to save her BFF's baby and the future of the human race, even willing to risk her own life. She is fighting for a cause she believes in whole-heartedly. You don't see that now-a-days. If you like dystopian novels, I suggest you read this. You might just be inspired.

A Fractured Light

A Fractured Light (A Beautiful Dark, #2)A Fractured Light by Jocelyn Davies
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A great sequel to A Beautiful Dark. There are many decisions that Skye had to make. One of them was the most shocking in the entire book. Skye feels for Asher, maybe even loves him, but she still likes Devin. And later in the book, She will need his help do deal with her light powers. Overall, this book was great!!! There were many twists and turns and MANY plans that were made. I can't wait to find out what happens in the final book.

A Beautiful Dark

On the night of Skye’s seventeenth birthday, she meets two enigmatic strangers. Complete opposites—like fire and ice—Asher is dark and wild, while Devin is fair and aloof. Their sudden appearance sends Skye’s life into a tailspin. She has no idea what they want, or why they seem to follow her every move—only that their presence coincides with a flurry of strange events. Soon she begins to doubt not just the identity of the two boys, but also the truth about her own past.

In the dead of a bitingly cold Colorado winter, Skye finds herself coming to terms with the impossible secret that threatens to shatter her world. Torn between Asher, who she can’t help falling for, and Devin, who she can’t stay away from, the consequences of Skye’s choice will reach further than the three of them could ever imagine.

A Beautiful Dark is the first book in a captivating trilogy by debut author Jocelyn Davies.


A Beautiful Dark (A Beautiful Dark, #1)A Beautiful Dark by Jocelyn Davies
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Two guys, one girl. Same old story. WRONG!!! This is so much more. It's about love, choices, and free will. Skye has a choice to make. Will she choose Asher and free will or Devin and no chaos in the world? Who knows, well besides those of you who have read the book. It is a different take on an angel-inspired book.I thought it would be another "girl falls for fallen angel" book, but I was wrong. I couldn't put it down. I'm just happy I'm not her. Two boys who are very different. Two councils who want to use her. Yeah, I like my life better. But I can't wait to see how things turn out in the second book. But to some up the book, its: Guardians VS. Rebels. Light VS. Dark. Orders VS. Love. Choices will be made, but what and who will she choose?

Indelible

Some things are permanent. Indelible. And they cannot be changed back.

Joy Malone learns this the night she sees a stranger with all-black eyes across a crowded room—right before the mystery boy tries to cut out her eye.

Instead, the wound accidentally marks her as property of Indelible Ink, and this dangerous mistake thrusts Joy into an incomprehensible world—a world of monsters at the window, glowing girls on the doorstep and a life that will never be the same.

Now, Joy must pretend to be Ink's chosen one—his helper, his love, his something for the foreseeable future…and failure to be convincing means a painful death for them both.

Swept into a world of monsters, illusion, immortal honor and revenge, Joy discovers that sometimes, there are no mistakes.

Somewhere between reality and myth lies…

THE TWIXT



Indelible (The Twixt, #1)Indelible by Dawn Metcalf
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fabulous!!! Fascinating!! What an exceptional book. I didn't understand what was happening at first, then as I read on it just got better!!!! Such an interesting take on a book. There are always copies of mythes like angels, werewolves, vampire, etc, but this is uniquely it's own category!!!! Indelible is a must read for everyone!! You have to be someone who has either the Sight or a strong Will to survive The Twixt. And some advice: always remember to take the message.

A Shade of Vampire

On the evening of Sofia Claremont's seventeenth birthday, she is sucked into a nightmare from which she cannot wake. A quiet evening walk along a beach brings her face to face with a dangerous pale creature that craves much more than her blood.

She is kidnapped to an island where the sun is eternally forbidden to shine.
An island uncharted by any map and ruled by the most powerful vampire coven on the planet. She wakes here as a slave, a captive in chains.
Sofia's life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn when she is the one selected out of hundreds of girls to join the harem of Derek Novak, the dark royal Prince.

Despite his addiction to power and obsessive thirst for her blood, Sofia soon realizes that the safest place on the island is within his quarters, and she must do all within her power to win him over if she is to survive even one more night.
Will she succeed? ...or is she destined to the same fate that all other girls have met at the hands of the Novaks?






A Shade of Vampire (A Shade of Vampire, #1)A Shade of Vampire by Bella Forrest
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I was asked to review this book and I am glad I did. Here is the review:
One of the best vampire books I have ever read. It has all the elements a vampire book would have with a splash of humanity. Such a great book. Bella Forrest did a great job. If you are a Twilight fan, you will definitely enjoy this book. In the beginning, I thought that this would be just another vampire book, but I was wrong. Sophia is a great girl who is fearless when it comes to getting what she wants. Derek is the ruler who doesn't want to be what he is, but will do anything to make Sophia happy and make her stay. It is such a great romance. A Shade of Vampire has a flare of its own, despite being a vampire novel. People who love romance, paranormal, YA's, and fantasy books would love this book!!!

Silver (Bandia, #1)Silver by Talia Vance
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a great book. One of my many favorites. Very captivating. Girl likes guy, guy doesn't see girl until a certain situation happens, and then comes the aftermath. It's very original. It has its own category, instead of being in the popular categories like vampires, fairies, etc. Those who like kinda paranormal romance, contemporary, YA, or fantasy would like this book. I highly recommend it.
