Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I just got finished reading a book that I have been salivating over since I first saw the cover . . . and let me tell you, it lived up to the drool. There is so much to love about Obsidian, I'm not sure where to freaking start!
First, let me give you the Goodreads blurb:
