Daemon is one of my favorite character and seeing things from his perspective is refreshing.....it shows that there's more to him then he lets on.

Never thought I would love ten pages so much!! Best. Ten. Pages. Of. My. Life!!! This just in: I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Daemon, so back off, Katy!!! Haha, JK. I think I would have liked Obsidian a hell of a lot more than I already do if Armentrout included Daemon's POV's. Can't wait for the release of Onyx. People, you have got to read this one, especially the Obsidian fans. SOO WORTH IT!!!!

This is going to be a short review.

My actual rating for this book is 3.5, but since I'm feeling generous today, I'm rating this four stars. I adored this book a lot, and I think this a worthy YA novel. I truly love Jennifer L. Armentrout! Her work and books are always well-written, worthy of hype, and include amazing characters and a brilliant storyline. I loved Katy, because I thought that she was relatable and fairly likeable. I adored Dee the most out of all of the other characters, though. She was a perfect best friend, and I can see her vulnerable, loveable, and protective side that she showed for the people in her life. I also like Daemon, although I will admit that at times he could be a dickhead. While on the first 100 pages of Obsidian, I wasn't quite warming up to him. I didn't think that anything that Armentrout did could make me turn my dislike for him turn into love, but I was pleasantly wrong. He grew on me. I can see perfectly clearly why he would have feelings for Katy. You readers can all tell that he's really an amazing and sweet guy under that mask he wears everyday to keep people out of his heart. I liked the other characters in this book, as well. One of my favorite things about Obsidian is Daemon and Katy's bickering. I loved their love/hate relationship. It was amusing, but at times, it was also touching. :)

This novel had lots of good points, but there is one huge flaw that I can't overlook. I do not blame the people who thinks that this was a Twilight rip-off, because in some ways, I can see their point. Book-nerd chick moves into a new town, meets sexy but asshat of a boyfriend and his clan, and finds out that they are a totally different species and possesses powers and talents. I blame Twilight for ruining YA paranormal fiction for me, but even the number one Obsidian fan have to agree with me. Luckily, that is where the comparisons end for me, and I don't hold the plagiarism against this book. I'm just saying that it could have been better if it had some originality.

I'm itching to read the next book in the series now! I admire Armentrout's writing style, and I want to see where Katy's story will head off now. I can't wait to see what will happen with her and Daemon. Their relationship is like the highlight of my like right now! I always had a thing for hot sexy guys chasing after the girl, and I believe that is what Daemon will do in the next book. Can't wait for it!! :D ...more

I loved this extra little part and I've been hopeing Jennifer l. Armentrout would give us chapter 26. If your looking for it and can't find it type in Daemons POV in Obsidian in Google or add in ch. 26 to that if it doesn't come up. I loved the book and the sneak peeks, can't wait for the book. Counting the days until Onyx!

This was the first book i bought on my nookcolor and ohmigod did i fall in love with it! This isbthe best 5.99 ive ever spent. At first the book was a tinny bit boring until deamon came into the story and i fell in love with him. The relationship between them was pretty hallarious and i loved how much they wanted eachother. Its a prerty unique book compared to all the reacuring topics from the ya books. A must read!
