OPAL COVER REVEAL!

I AM THE LUCKIEST ALIEN LOVER IN THE WORLD!?

*runs around in circles*

WELL... I mean besides Kat... because LORD KNOWS --- one stab-worthy "man" is greatly lacking in my life as of late *winks*.  

IT'S HERE! 

Oh, you know... *shrugs* the cover of the NEW LUX NOVEL featuring the hottest alien on this side of the universe... Daemon Black and his forever changed beauty --- Kat... 

*swoons* Seriously --- THE HOTTEST COVER EVER!!!!  


Synopsis provided  by the publisher :)

No one is like Daemon Black.

When he set out to prove his feelings for me, he wasn’t fooling around. Doubting him isn’t something I’ll do again, and now that we’ve made it through the rough patches, well... There’s a lot of spontaneous combustion going on.

But even he can’t protect his family from the danger of trying to free those they love.

After everything, I’m no longer the same Katy. I’m different... And I’m not sure what that will mean in the end. When each step we take in discovering the truth puts us in the path of the secret organization responsible for torturing and testing hybrids, the more I realize there is no end to what I’m capable of. The death of someone close still lingers, help comes from the most unlikely source, and friends will become the deadliest of enemies, but we won’t turn back. Even if the outcome will shatter our worlds forever.

Together we’re stronger... and they know it.

Opal is technically the 4th book in the Lux Series --- But only the 3rd ALL about my lovey Daemon Black... Ugh… his fiery temper and his hot fudgy deliciousness... *slaps palm to forehead* SNAP OUT OF IT! 

Opal --- Release date December 11^th by Entangled Publishing  

PRE-ORDER IT PEEPS! 

I suppose I should give those of you who know 

NOTHING about this alien sex god a tidbit of a synopsis…

The following is taken directly from Jennifer Armentrout’s official website! http://www.jenniferarmentrout.com/lux-series

Obsidian

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.

Onyx

 

Being connected to Daemon Black sucks…

Thanks to his alien mojo, Daemon’s determined to prove what he feels for me is more than a product of our bizarro connection. So I’ve sworn him off, even though he’s running more hot than cold these days. But we’ve got bigger problems.

Something worse than the Arum has come to town…
The Department of Defense are here. If they ever find out what Daemon can do and that we're linked, I’m a goner. So is he. And there's this new boy in school who’s got a secret of his own. He knows what’s happened to me and he can help, but to do so, I have to lie to Daemon and stay away from him. Like that's possible. Against all common sense, I'm falling for Daemon. Hard.

But then everything changes…
I’ve seen someone who shouldn’t be alive. And I have to tell Daemon, even though I know he’s never going to stop searching until he gets the truth. What happened to his brother? Who betrayed him? And what does the DOD want from them—from me?

No one is who they seem. 

And not everyone will survive the lies…

IN SHORT! 

This is one of the best series I have read! It's fantastically witty, sexy, romantic, and the all around excitement is bursting from the pages!

Read it ... right now ;)*waves so-long*...

“And all around my memories, you dance...”

-The Avett Brother

“Our war of limbs

And lips

And hands…”

-Will

I get all giddy when I review a book that I am head over heels for… And then, when I sit down attempting to write and get every ounce of my love onto my small blog in a big world of blogs… I am at a loss.

Before reading Point of Retreat you obviously have to read Slammed. So don’t be stupid and just read this jumble of my thoughts if in fact you have not read Slammed --- you will screw everything up.

Will and Lake have been through shit --- no joke… 

They haven’t just lost one parent, they have lost two…

And in case you don’t know, and I pray you never do, 

losing a parent is nothing short of a glimpse of hell…

Yet, in some weird twist of life, they ended up raising their baby brothers, together.

The sheer power of their love makes me weak--- 

Point of Retreat is written from Will’s POV. Which is so very wonderful…

He is a pure romantic… and poet… and even though in Slammed he was a bit uptight, it’s apparent in POR he has let himself go.

This crazy family has so much love --- and Julia, Lake’s mom --- who passed away of cancer, has an extremely strong presence in this novel… So beautifully displayed in a vase of paper stars.

“Sometimes two people have to fall apart to realize how 

much they need to fall back together”

 –Author Unknown

When Will’s ex-girlfriend makes an unexpected entrance into their world --- Lake begins to doubt the love that Will professes to her daily. She breaks the poor man’s heart and of course is the flaming definition of irrational --- *sighs* Yet, I get it… everything about them seems circumstantial… And the last thing any person wants to do is commit to a fleeting love… fleeting doesn’t last, at least not for very long.

“Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.” –Ralph Waldo Emerson

“So if you could find it in your heart

To give a man a second start

I promise things won’t end the same.”

-     - The Avett Brothers

Hands Remember – Seabear

A little piece of Lake

In short ;)

This book is far too deep – for me at least- to review.

So, if you loved Slammed then you must know where this crazy family goes…

I very much so need a third book. There are so many things I need closure on… Perhaps we can have a discussion about it after you read it. Big smiles and high fives! Colleen Hoover created an emotional mess of things that make the world go round.  

“Are you aware the shape I'm in?

My hands they shake, my head it spins.”

Slammed and Point of Retreat! THIS WEEK!

Ahhhhh SNAPS!

I cannot wait for September 18^th!

The heavens will align and in MY mailbox I will have two beautiful new books!

Colleen Hoovers --- Slammed and Point of Retreat!

Netgalley --- the beautiful thing it is --- approved me for Slammed and after reading it I just had to have these beautiful books in my hands!

Now, I know a lot of peeps (including my sister T.C.) jumped right into POR --- 

But I just couldn’t! I don’t know *scratches head* perhaps I just love the anticipation!

Seriously, you need to preorder these books! UGH *squirms in seat*!!! TUESDAY!!!!!

AND WAIT! 

Did I just read that there may be a third book!!!! 

NO FREAKIN' WAY! I JUST PEED MYSELF! 

This Girl

Expected in 2013!!! 

Taken straight from goodreads!

For readers that loved SLAMMED, Colleen Hoover brings back Will and Lake for one final installment in the SLAMMED SERIES. THIS GIRL takes readers back to the very beginning, where we learn what Will is really thinking, feeling and doing during SLAMMED. But it doesn't end there, THIS GIRL takes us through the year between SLAMMED and POINT OF RETREAT through Layken's eyes. Written in a dual point of view, THIS GIRL closes the gaps, answers the questions and reveals a whole new shocking side to the story

 OMIGOSH!!!! 

TOO MUCH EXCITEMENT FOR A SATURDAY MORNING!

Jude Ryder *licks lips*

CLASH
NICOLE WILLIAMS

If you have read my review on Crash --- You would know I was not a huge fan.


The plot was predictable and at the same time unrealistic… Luce’s character was undeveloped and vanilla, while Jude’s was the anticipated bad boy who fell in love with a crazy girl.

The writing was confused and I found myself on multiple occasions trying to figure 
out what the author was talking about.

Needless to say, when I heard about Clash I was less than excited. But being a romantic and glutton for punishment I gave Clash a shot.


Jude Ryder *sighs*…With a name like that-- *clenches fists* --what more needs to be said. He is rash and definitely has failed Angry Management 101, but he loves Luce more than himself and would do anything for her. Jude is a college football star, does what he wants when he wants, and will fly off at any moment if you so much as look Luce the wrong way. How romantic and slightly possessive *wink*OH! But how we love our possessive bad boys. Travis Maddox anyone?  

Luce’s temper mixed with her inability to trust her love in Jude creates a disastrous situation. Love, lies, explosive fights, and a pretty hot car ride.
I did very much so enjoy this book --- You have to get through Crash first but I promise the payoff in the sequel is well worth it.

Third book??
Some readers are discussing a third book --- Just being honest here, I don’t know how much more can be said about these characters --- they still are pretty one dimensional and a third book would just be more of the same. It’s a shame because with a name like Jude Ryder angels should be singing. I should want to hear more of their story… Maybe if there was a little Jude POV I might be able to dig a third book.
    

Holy Alien Sex God --- Where have you been all my life?

HOLY CRAP STRAP ON ALIEN STEROIDS! 
Jennifer Armentrout, you freakin’ rock!


I could not get enough of this series! I needed to keep reading --- I had to keep reading --- and now it sucks because I am done reading! Ughhh! Shoot me in the foot!

Daemon --- you are curt, sharp, pithy, and DAMN sooo freakishly sexy! 

His alien mojo was doing crazy-nearly illegal-things to me! 

In Obsidian, he was the protector. He had to be! After losing a brother and being an alien on Earth, secrets must be kept and people (humans) must be kept at arms length!


BUT THEN...
He allows himself to love Kat and  even though we all know she was head over heals for him from the start she flips on the stubborn b*tch switch! She's messin' everything up! 

I mean, I get it... the alien sex god kinda put her through the wringer a few times. But I needed her to get over that quickly (like ASAFP)! Just be one of those “love struck” girls and forgive him for every wrong he has done to you! Please! But of course, she has to prove to herself that she no longer has feelings for the douche canoe (her words, so not my words). 

Anyway, Daemon’s mojo starts to have an effect on Kat's body and things begin to become far more complicated once the pair realizes just how connected they are. 

Then an actual DBAG enters the picture... Blake, or Boris, or Butler... whatever his name is... and decides to try and hook up with Little Miss Kitten --- Things get CRAY!

Ya know, I wasn't sure about the whole alien thing --- a little nervous that sci fi wouldn’t do it for me... But in all honest, this series has the potential to be my favorite ya paranormal addiction... 

Granted, I need to wait and see how Opal goes... And my number one spot is currently held by the Hush Hush series... which I am still crossing my fingers that Finale doesn't screw up... But I am willing to say that this series is by far the best 2 packed ya paranormal romance that I have read --- Action packed with hot and heavy swooning, toe curling moments. No rip your hair out love triangles and the angst is like a cherry on top.  

P.S. Kat is probably one of the coolest chicks around.
