I loved reading this! I read it in a day, and had so much fun with it. I fell in love with the characters, and the plot is so much fun. I found some similarities to twilight, but it only made me like the story more. The main characters have such fun relationship, I loved reading about them. I am not going to lie, a huge part of the reason why I love the book is because of Daemon!!! I mean HOLY HOT ALIEN!!! Just found this really cool thing out, the Hungarian title has my nickname in it it's Obs ...more

I'm not really a huge fan of aliens, and I've only read a few books about them (e.g Lorien Legacies, and The Host). And from the summary and the requests of people for me to read it, I eventually did.

AND I WASN'T DISAPPOINTED!

I guess it was something new to my paranormal shelf that got me hooked. And the thought of aliens just walking around like ordinary people - humans - was beyond relief. Add to that Mr. Daemon Black. I have to agree to one review where they said if Jace and Daemon had a face ...more

I've been hearing a lot of good reviews about this book so I finally gave in and upped it in my tbr list. And I'm not even the least bit disappointed! I was not expecting much, really. We're talking about aliens after all. But I fell so in love after just the first chapter. It's so entertaining I can hardly put it down. :)

"Stopping by one of the empty tables, I let out a breath of happiness. I was always able to lose myself in reading. Books were a necessary escape I always gladly jumped into headfirst."

This alone made me love the book. I mean, come on! A female protagonist who is a huge book lover AND a book blogger? I'm sold.

"Daemon's look dared me to not listen to him, and that's pretty much why I agreed. He didn't control my life. I did."

I know that prom would end badly. And as much as I wanted to strangle Katy for not listening to Daemon, I realized I actually would've hated her if she listened to him. Daemon has been nothing but a jerk to her. Yes, there's the occasional heart-warming moments when Daemon was actually bordering sweet but he's a jerk 98% of the time. If she obeyed him just because he said so, it would've made me like her less.

"No matter where I went, what I was running from would still be with me — Kat. She wasn't just back in the house, in that bed. She was with me now, inside me. And there was no outrunning that."

Oh Daemon. He kinda reminds me of Kelley Armstrong's Derek Souza. What with his jerk attitude and his overprotectiveness. But, unlike Derek, you can see through Daemon. You know that even if he's acting like a jerk, he hates it. Don't get me wrong, I wanna punch the guy in the face sometimes. But if you're surrounded by people who fear things they don't understand (which sometimes leads to that thing's destruction) and not to mention the DOD, you get a little overprotective of your own. And yes, I am so in love with him.

And as much as I wanna smack Daemon for being such a jerk to Katy, I also understand it. What happened to Dawson and Bethany is a constant reminder of what will happen if he shows his feelings for Katy. But fuck the DOD, I officially ship these two. ...more

First off, I'd like to find out if Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...is a word. Because that is the only way I can describe this book.

I found myself on edge the entire book, whether it be because Katy and Daemon are so electrically hot, or because of their constant bickering. Which reminds me of how my husband and I are. However, he is not mean about it like Daemon was. I couldnt believe some of the things he said to Katy. The nerve!

This book has a different paranormal aspect to it. One I loved by the way! B ...more

Hello, my name is Amber and I have a problem.

I'm in love with another fictional guy. I don't think I can properly portray the depth of my love for this book. Or rather, Daemon Black (but we'll get to that later). The characters were interesting, the plot had me a thousand times more than ensnared, and I literally could not put the book down. Sleep was not even an option when I read this book. It was either finish it or die from not knowing what would happen next.

I'll admit, at first, I was a l ...more

4.5/5

Definitely read this book. It was so good.
It reminded me of Twilight a little bit, mostly because there are some parallels between the two books as far as structure of the story goes but it is no way the same thing. This book definitely has a different feel to it. The writing was reminiscent of Richelle Mead's Vampire Academy series and I think the same could be said about the characters. Katy and Daemon are both pretty feisty and quick witted. I really, genuinely, thoroughly enjoyed this ...more
