Obsession (Arum) by Jennifer Armentrout

Posted on June 1, 2017 | Leave a comment

Obsession Obsession (Arum) by Jennifer Armentrout. Published May  31, 2013 by Entangled Teen: Embrace.  Kindle edition CDN $3.99

Hunter is a ruthless killer. And the Department of Defense has him firmly in their grasp, which usually doesn’t chafe too badly because he gets to kill bad guys. Most of the time he enjoys his job. That is, until he’s saddled with something he’s never had to do before: protect a human from his mortal enemy.

Serena Cross didn’t believe her best friend when she claimed to have seen the son of a powerful senator turn into something… unnatural. Who would? But then she witnesses her friend’s murder at the hands of what can only be an alien, thrusting her into a world that will kill to protect their secret.

Hunter stirs Serena’s temper and her lust despite their differences. Soon he’s doing the unthinkable—breaking the rules he’s lived by, going against the government to keep Serena safe. But are the aliens and the government the biggest threats to Serena’s life… or is it Hunter?  (Goodreads Excerpt)

Well what can I say?  I’m a big fan of the Lux series so of course I couldn’t wait to dive into this…I wasn’t disappointed.  I loved the tension and drama between these two characters.  I did want to smack Hunter up the side of his head on a few (ok a lot) of occasions.  He is just so arrogant.  But when you think about who he is in the story…well yeah I would probably be just as arrogant.  top that with Serena who doesn’t take his shit and well she is pretty spunky for a mere human…lol

I don’t want to ruin it so suffice it to say I loved the book!  Loved the characters and it was nice to read a spin off of a good series.  Oh and no you don’t really need to read the Lux series…but why wouldn’t you?

5 stars for me!

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page

My Teaser:

It had been me—it had always been me. And Ren—oh my God—Ren was here to find and kill me, because the prince of the mother freaking Otherworld was free in the mortal realm. The Prince was here to knock up a halfling, to make an apocalypse baby . . . with me.

Stone Cold Touch (Dark Elements #2) by Jennifer Armentrout

Posted on December 15, 2014 | 1 comment

StoneColdTouch_FC1-195x300 Stone Cold Touch (Dark Elements #2) by Jennifer Armentrout. Published Oct 21, 2014 by Harlequin Teen.  CDN $3.29 Kindle edition.

Every touch has its price.

Layla Shaw is trying to pick up the pieces of her shattered life—no easy task for a seventeen-year-old who’s pretty sure things can’t get worse. Her impossibly gorgeous best friend, Zayne, is forever off-limits thanks to the mysterious powers of her soul-stealing kiss. The Warden clan that has always protected her is suddenly keeping dangerous secrets. And she can barely think about Roth, the wickedly hot demon prince who understood her in ways no one else could. But sometimes rock bottom is only the beginning. Because suddenly Layla’s powers begin to evolve, and she’s offered a tantalizing taste of what has always been forbidden. Then, when she least expects it, Roth returns, bringing news that could change her world forever. She’s finally getting what she always wanted, but with hell literally breaking loose and the body count adding up, the price may be higher than Layla is willing to pay… (Goodreads excerpt)

Oh My Freaking….I don’t even know where to start…

Ok I was on the fence with the whole Zayne vs Roth love triangle going on in the book. I mean Zayne is sooo perfect and well…no one could possibly live up to that…especially a half demon? And Roth…OMG he is so hot and sexy and totally bad ass, gets you in trouble in a totally good way…you know it is just wrong..right? NOT!

Either way this book is freaking amazing. Full of action, suspense, drama, HEAT oh and did I mention the heat? Ok you get it. I love Jennifer Armentrout’s books. She is incredible. I am now fanning myself trying to calm down after reading this book!

Oh and another freaking wicked cliff hanger. I don’t want to give anything away so suffice it to say that this is one amazing series going right up there in the top 5 favs.

5 stars for me….I would give more but am not allowed 🙂

Friday Finds (Nov 15)

Posted on November 15, 2013 | 1 comment

FF2_MdFRIDAY FINDS showcases the books you ‘found’ and added to your To Be Read (TBR) list… whether you found them online, or in a bookstore, or in the library — wherever! (they aren’t necessarily books you purchased).

So, come on — share with us your FRIDAY FINDS!

I am so excited that I  bought this last week, I meant to put it up then, but never got around to it.  It is freaking awesome.  I was dying to read the final book in the series. I am almost finished and holy cow it is a fantastic end to the series.  I will post a review soon. 🙂

Sentinel (Covenant, #5) Sentinal (covenant #5) by Jennifer Armentrout. 

It’s a beautiful day for a war.

As the mortal world slowly slips into chaos of the godly kind, Alexandria Andros must overcome a stunning defeat that has left her shaken and in doubt of their ability to end this war once and for all.

And with all the obstacles between Alex and her happily-ever-after with the swoonworthy Aiden St. Delphi, they must now trust a deadly foe as they travel deep into the Underworld to release one of the most dangerous gods of all time.

In the stunning, action-packed climax to the bestselling Covenant series, Alex must face a terrible choice: the destruction of everything and everyone she holds dear… or the end of herself. (Goodreads Excerpt)

Origin (Lux #4) by Jennifer Armentrout

Posted on November 12, 2013 | Leave a comment

Origin (Lux, #4) Origin (Lux #4) by Jennifer L Armentrout.  Published Aug 27, 2013 by Entangled Teen. CDN $5.99 kindle edition.

Daemon will do anything to get Katy back.

After the successful but disastrous raid on Mount Weather, he’s facing the impossible. Katy is gone. Taken. Everything becomes about finding her. Taking out anyone who stands in his way? Done. Burning down the whole world to save her? Gladly. Exposing his alien race to the world? With pleasure.

All Katy can do is survive.

Surrounded by enemies, the only way she can come out of this is to adapt. After all, there are sides of Daedalus that don’t seem entirely crazy, but the group’s goals are frightening and the truths they speak even more disturbing. Who are the real bad guys? Daedalus? Mankind? Or the Luxen?

Together, they can face anything.

But the most dangerous foe has been there all along, and when the truths are exposed and the lies come crumbling down, which side will Daemon and Katy be standing on?

And will they even be together? (goodreads excerpt)

OMG I love this series.  This book starts right where Opal ended.  It is hardcore action packed, edge of your seat awesomeness.  I usually get bored with a long series, but this one keeps getting better and better.  I love the new characters introduced in this one and the twist that they bring with it.

In origin, we really see how far Daemon and Katy will go to be with and to protect each other.  There is a lot of emotion and depth to these two that keeps you rooting them on.  I was a little shocked at the end of Opal and hate endings like that.  I wanted…needed to know what happens to Katy.  I don’t want to spoil anything, but holy this series is emotional.  You want to scream, cry, cheer, laugh and everything in between!

In Origin we get a glimpse of what Daedalus is all about.  We see what happened to Dawson and Beth and there is a whole lot of suspense built up around what is going to happen to Daemon and Katy.  Will they end up like the other two?  Will they be stronger?  Will they survive?  I won’t tell you what happens, but it is action packed all the way.

Origin ends on another cliff-hanger, which is frustrating because it introduced a whole new level to the playing field.  I want to know NOW what happens…alas I will have to wait patiently…did I tell you that I am NOT a patient person…lol

Awesome book! 5 stars for me.

My Teaser:

Thirty-one hours, forty-two minutes, and twenty seconds had passed since the doors had closed, separating Kat from me.  Thirty-one hours, forty-two minutes, and ten seconds since I last saw her.  For thirty-one hours and forty-one minutes Kat had been in the hands of the Daedalus.

Each second, every minute and hour that ticked by had driven me fucking insane.
