 Info; 
 Author: Jennifer L. Armentrout

 Prequel: Kind of, Shadows is from earlier in the story, but not to do with these main character. There is at the back of Obsidian two snippets of certain chapters from a main characters POV (Which were a really nice insight to read). 
 Sequel: Shadows (Lux Novel #1.5 - Feb 2012), Onyx (Lux Novel #2 - Summer2012), Opal (Lux Novel #3 - 2013). 
 Summary (From Amazon.co.uk); 
 Starting over sucks. 
 When we moved to West Virginia right before my senior year, I'd pretty much resigned myself to thick accents, dodgy internet access, and a whole lot of boring.... until I spotted my hot neighbor, with his looming height and eerie green eyes. Things were looking up. 
 And then he opened his mouth. 
 Daemon is infuriating. Arrogant. Stab-worthy. We do not get along. At all. But when a stranger attacks me and Daemon literally freezes time with a wave of his hand, well, something...unexpected happens. 
 The hot alien living next door marks me. 
 You heard me. Alien. Turns out Daemon and his sister have a galaxy of enemies wanting to steal their abilities, and Daemon's touch has me lit up like the Vegas Strip. The only way I'm getting out of this alive is by sticking close to Daemon until my alien mojo fades. 
 If I don't kill him first, that is. 
 First Impressions: 
 Wow. I mean, that summary had me really interested - but more than that, the cover really drew me in. Looking at it, I had originally thought It was going to be a Werewolf book (What with the trees and the aura borealis in the background) but when I read the description, I was pleasantly surprised to see it was actually about Aliens. How many YA books are they about Aliens? Hardly none! (Also - have you seen the guy on the cover? Drool worthy, I must say, and look at those eyes!!! /swoon/) 
 Clearly I had to read it. 
 What I loved; 
 Like most of my books, I bought this for my Kindle (2gen not 3rd) and found all the coding for it to be superb. No random floating / centered text where there should be none or weird sudden page breaks, so that was a bonus. I felt as soon as I read the first line of the book that I had a definite connection with the main character, Katy, by the fact that she is, quite frankly, a complete Nerd. What's not to love about this main character? 
 Katy loves Blogging and in particular writing book reviews and is known for locking herself in her room and just spending time on the Net. She's my kinda girl, and she's not ashamed of being a book Nerd either. She's witty, refreshing and doesn't take Daemon's (the main males lead) sh*t, instead dishing it back at him as he gives it, which I loved. Her reaction to Daemon's nasty attitude when she firsts meets him was, I thought, very realistic and made me like her even more. 
 Daemon is of course, the bad boy. He's sharp tongued, sarcastic and doesn't want Katy as soon as he sees her (something which I absolutely LOVED, since I'm tiring of 'love at first sight' YA books). In fact, he does everything in his power to keep her away from him (and his sister). Though he slowly warms up to Katy, he still manages to keep his distance whilst being completely charming, making him (in my books, anyway), the hottest, aloof yet secret sweet, protective guy to have graced YA history (after Dmitri from the Vampire Academy series) 
 The book starts at a pretty slow pace plot-wise, though I enjoyed Katy's interactions with both Daemon and his sister, since it was nice to see them building up relationships before the plot got underway, making the storyline (when the main plot kicked in) more realistic for me. With the relationships already built, I thought the characters reactions and feelings to one another were more believable, and I enjoyed seeing Katy acting like a proper teenager (using another guy to make another mad for instance, I'm tired of seeing female leads throwing themselves at the main leads whilst he walks all over them...) 
 It's hard to talk about this book without giving away plot details, but all I have to say, really, is that if you're looking for a book that has romance, amazing plot twists, action, great lead chemistry, a badass main character and swoon-worthy male lead, then you really should give Obsidian a read, because you will honest to God, NOT regret buying this book. 
 Turn offs; 
 There was the odd Grammar issues, but nothing major :) The only thing about Obsidian that I didn't like was the lack of love interests in Katy (which in the scheme of things wasn't exactly a major thing...). I'd just liked to have seen at least some other guy take a genuine interest in her, since it feels like the only one was Daemon, which while not a bad thing, I just got sick of how all the girls fawned over Daemon. Doesn't really seem fair 
 Preview: 
 From page 61. 
 (view spoiler)[I was drenched as was Daemon. The rain was coming down even harder, making it difficult to see more than a few feet off the porch, giving the sense we were in our own private world. "It rains here like it does in Florida." I didn't know what else to say. My brain felt fried. 
 Daemon nudged my knee with his. "I think you may be stuck with me for a few more minutes." 
 "I'm sure I look like a drowned cat." 
 "You look fine. The wet look works for you." 
 I scowled. "Now I know you're lying." 
 He shifted beside me, and without a word, I felt his finger lift my chin towards him. A crooked smile lifted his full lips. "I wouldn't lie about what I thought." 
 I wished I had something clever to say, maybe even a little flirty, but his intense stare sent any coherent thought scattering. 
 Confusion flashed in his eyes as he leaned forward, his lips parting slightly. "I think I understand now." 
 "Understand what?" I whispered. 
 "I like to watch you blush." His voice barely above a murmur as his thumb traced circled on my cheek.
