Onyx by Jennifer Armentrout

By
This is the second book in the Lux series by Jennifer L. Armentrout. I don't even know where to begin with this review other than to say that this book was FREAKING AMAZING!!! From the very beginning it was very fast paced with twist and turns throughout the entire book. I loved the character Katy, although there were times I was thinking: "Girl, just get over it and take him." Daemon is obviously in love with her and wants to prove it, but it seemed that every time he tried she would think back to him being the jerk that he WAS but is not anymore. So yea... there were times I wanted to strangle her.

 First of all it starts out right where Obsidian left off. Daemon is being irresistible, of course, and Katy tries to stay away from him believing that it is his alien "mojo" that the attraction is coming from. At the beginning of the book there isn't much action but it builds and builds until you are looking like a terrible, gushing wind just came out of nowhere and just  knocks you out and left you with your bottom lip literally touching the ground. Even though Katy made some mistakes she learned from them and it also made her and Daemon closer. New characters are introduce and we see a really sweet soft side from Daemon. Even though he and Katy still argue and occasionally want to strangle the living daylights out of each other - there is no denying the attraction that is there.

 Blake comes in the picture and it's like a battle of the chest. I'm sure Katy was suffering from overbearing testosterone. Daemon does not like Blake at all and I'm sure if he could throw him over the Grand Canyon and say he slipped, he would. Daemon was so funny, always call Blake other names that started with a B knowing full well that he knew his real name. Sorry Blake but seriously there is no competition there.

 "Kitten" he growled roughly.
I kissed him softly, sliding my hands into his silky locks, letting the pieces slide through my fingers. I tasted him in him my own rising desire, my own need and heartache. Thrilling. Frightening. I pulled back.
"Kitten," he said again, voice strained. "You don't get to do that and then stop.  That's not how it works."
I stared at him, my breath stalling in my lungs.
"Not when you're mine. Daemon backed us up and slid down the wall, pulling me onto his lap so i was straddling him. "And you're mine."

 "Say it."
"Say what?" I asked.
"Tell me what you told me earlier".
My heart leaped in to my throat.  I'd told him a lot of things, but I knew what he wanted to hear. "I love you." 
His eyes darkened a second before he kissed me until i was ready to say screw the whole doing-it-right-by-me-thing.  "That's all i ever need to hear."
"Those three words?"
"Always those three words."

Ok......breath. Take a deep breath and count to ten. Go ahead and give your self time to float back to earth after reading that.

I fell in love with this book from the moment I started reading it and have pronounced myself a book boyfriend *eeekkk*. Daemon is just a dream.

The Mister Book Review

By
Goodreads synopsis:  London, 2019. Life has been easy for Maxim Trevelyan. With his good looks, aristocratic connections, and money, he’s never had to work and he’s rarely slept alone. But all that changes when tragedy strikes and Maxim inherits his family’s noble title, wealth, and estates, and all the responsibility that entails. It’s a role he’s not prepared for and one that he struggles to face.   But his biggest challenge is fighting his desire for an unexpected, enigmatic young woman who’s recently arrived in England, possessing little more than a dangerous and troublesome past.  Reticent, beautiful, and musically gifted, she’s an alluring mystery, and Maxim’s longing for her deepens into a passion that he’s never experienced and dares not name. Just who is Alessia Demachi? Can Maxim protect her from the malevolence that threatens her? And what will she do when she learns that he’s been hiding secrets of his own?   I will admit I did have some kind of salty...

Discussion #1 Sex in Y.A. Fiction

By
Working as a Young Adult Librarian, I get this questions about this topic asked a lot. These are some of the questions that I am asked. Most of the time it is the parents that come to me especially the ones that have a child that is transitioning from children's fiction to Y.A. I can understand a part of what the parent is trying to do because of the age of the child. Not all of my teens parents monitor what they read but the majority of them do. So I break it down for them 1.) Y.A. stands for Young Adult. It ranges from the ages of 12-18 but it is divided. 12-14 and 15-18. If the teen falls into the 12-14 bracket I take them to the middle school section in our childrens area because it is a lot easier to find some books that will appease both parent and teen. 2.) Not ALL Y.A. is explicit and have vulgar language. It may have a few curse words. The majority of it may have some type of high school slang or something around that area and mild language but not all Y.A. is the...

Discussion Post #3 When did you find your love for reading?

By
I have been an avid reader for a good while but I did not start out as one. In fact, I hated reading. I never gave it a chance and as I said in the previous discussion post anytime I am forced to read something it just makes me want to not read it even more. I was about 13 and I remember one of my best friends was reading Harry Potter and I asked her why was she reading it. She looked at me like I had grown an eye in the middle of my forehead. In reality all I was seeing was the length of the book. At the time, I was very intimidated by how long a book was. Fast forward a couple of years I went to a library program and they were showing Harry Potter and the Chamber of secrets. Long story short....I loved the movie. The librarian told me if I loved the movie I would most definitely love the book. I checked them out and I totally understood why my best friend loved them. They were simply amazing and I so desperately wanted my letter to come in the mail. I went into a reading slump ...
