Onyx blew me away!!!There is a lot of action and turns happening that will keep you reading and reading. And the tension between Daemon and Katy is electric!!!!!!
It’s one of those books that you just don’t want to end!!
Daemon ofcourse was as hot as ever!!!I really liked him in Obsidian but he was kind of a jerk at times but in Onyx he completely won me over!!!!

**ALL THE STARS!!!**

Without a single doubt the best book of 2012. A new favorite all time book. Onyx wins ALL THE AWARDS! Jennifer Armentrout is brilliant.

Real (and long) review to come later. I keep trying to start it and it comes out beyond babbly and just WAY too incoherant. This book deserves so much more than that. I mean, it's Deamon so there will be worship. Oh yes, lots & lots of worship. And it's WELL earned. Repeatedly. *ahem* So I'm gonna percolate and *try* to gather my thoughts so ...more

"...when a new boy shows up at school with a secret of his own, things get complicated fast. I need to choose between my own instincts and Daemon’s."

REALLY? REALLY? IS THERE REALLY GOING TO BE A LOVE TRIANGLE? IF THERE IS, I'D BE SOOOOO PISSED!!! THE SERIES WAS GOING ALONG JUST FINE, AND IF THERE IS A LOVE TRIANGLE I GUARANTEE THAT I WILL RATE THIS BOOK LOW!!!!

Ha, ha JK. But seriously, I would still be ticked off if Katy develops feelings for someone else when the guy she's really supposed to be ...more

So let me just begin by saying that I bought this book at 12:01 AM and finished it by 3. And let's not even think about the fact that I had to wake up at six today.
But it's worth it. Ahem, I meant DAEMON is worth it.
Seriously, that boy and all his snarky, little comments infused with a bit of hotness are meant to keep you up at night.
Anyway, this book was just as amazing as the first, and I devoured it. Literally.
I would've liked to see more Dee, but I totally swooned over nice-Daemon and hi ...more

Crazed Bookie: Onyx by Jennifer L. Armentrout

I'm going to start this review by giving an anecdote of my reaction upon receiving this wildly anticipating, sexy, to-die-for novel.
I'd already been emailed a few times by Caitlin and she'd given me my tour date and what my post would be about. I was told that we'd be receiving these amazing ARCs a month before the tour started. Mid-April I was feeling a little excited and every time I went into my email, I quickly scanned for an email from Caitlin. N Crazed Bookie: Onyx by Jennifer L. Armentrout

I'm going to start this review by giving an anecdote of my reaction upon receiving this wildly anticipating, sexy, to-die-for novel.
I'd already been emailed a few times by Caitlin and she'd given me my tour date and what my post would be about. I was told that we'd be receiving these amazing ARCs a month before the tour started. Mid-April I was feeling a little excited and every time I went into my email, I quickly scanned for an email from Caitlin. Near the end of April, still no show; and I was getting a wee bit anxious. I emailed Caitlin wondering if maybe there had been some changes and I had not been informed of them. She kindly responded that the ARCs would be sent out in waves and mine was scheduled for May 1st. Oh boy, did I start a total countdown. My fingers itched and my eyes burned for the chance and privilege to read such a sacrilegious book. On that day, I honest-to-God swear I must have refreshed my email throughout the day at least 20 times. The ARC was no show. I was so sad, but still had hope for the next day. By the night of May 2nd I was devastated and so anxious that I still hadn't received it. The days were dragging. Then the most wonderful thing happened on May 4, 2012; I logged into my email and saw my ARC of Onyx. I screamed, squealed, laughed, whooped, ran, shook my butt, did a little dance, yelled incoherences all at the same time. Yeah, just try and imagine it.
I immediately downloaded it and sat down to read for HOURS. I laughed, cried, cursed and got furious reading this book.
I love it when a novel gets these emotions out of me because it makes me love it more. It's so amazing when a story sucks you in so deeply that you can't even hear the exterior world and you react as if it were happening to you. In fact, my stepmom knocked and called out to me (I was in my room) and I didn't respond. Hours later, I exited my room to grab a glass of water and she asked, "Were you sleeping?"
Me: "Um, no. Why?"
Her: "I knocked and you didn't answer. I even called out your name, and nothing."
Me: "Are you serious? I didn't even her you. I was reading Onyx."
Her: "Oh, the one you told me about with the alien? That you were waiting for?"
Me: *nods head like out of control puppet, with scary grin on face*
LOL, so yeah. Sorry dear stepmom, I'd been in Virginia at the moment sparring with my hot alien next-door neighbor.

I loved how Daemon and Katy don't lose their "essence". What I mean is that, even though, their relationship takes a slightly different turn because Daemon is determined to prove to Katy that he's attracted to her not because of their freaky alien thing, they still have that "I want to kill you" attitude. I love it when they argue and go at each others' throats; it's so sexy. (Yes, I know. I'm a sick, twisted little creature.) But, I also liked that Katy is also a bit more... comfortable around Daemon. It's not that she's not affected by him anymore, dear no, but it's like she can sort of hold her own now better.
The surprises of this book are unbelievable. The DOD are bastards. Yes, that is my opinion of them. I thought I had a pretty good idea about what would be going on, but man! oh man! was I surprised with all that went down! There's a lot of steam between Katy and Daemon (I had to constantly fan myself), and the creepy alien bond they have is pretty cool. There's so much emotion going on throughout the whole book that made me feel like on a roller coaster and that ending? Come on, Jen! Why'd you have to leave me hanging like that?
There's a lot of sneaking around, kissing, drama, hot Alien, DOD, SEXUAL FRUSTRATION, and many more that Jennifer serves as beautifully as a yummy cake.

And just to give you a little tease...

"What was that?" he asked, eyes narrowed. There was no mistaking the amusement on the tilt of his lips, though. "Very bad kitty..." ...more

I absolutely, completely, hands down loved this book! It's just complex enough that it grabs the reader attention and keeps their interest 'til the very end. Yet it's not too complex that you get lost within the different layers the author creates. The characters are the best: sexy, witty, and out of this world!

A real romance with real problems... if arrogant aliens with the body of a god really do exist :) ...more

As expected an excellant sequel to Obsidian. There is no other daemon. I was a little annoyed with Katy in this book because she spends alot of time being a pain and whining about the "Connection" between them. I still cannot get enough of this series. Overall still awesome. ...more
