Obsession ~ Jennifer L. Armentrout

NEW ADULT 
An ARUM Novel
JLA


Most people grow up knowing right from wrong.

For example, it is wrong to kick puppies and babies.

Or it is wrong to hit a parked car and at the very least not leave an “I’m sorry” note!

Well… I have grown up knowing that the Arum are smoky, skeazy bastards!

UNTIL! Ms. Armentrout introduces us to this hot piece of… of… ALIEN, HUNTER!

Just FYI… I feel like the cover does not do Hunter justice in my mind… This guy…

He looks like a douche canoe.

SO, this entire novel all I hear is LUXEN BAD, ARUM GOOD and my mind is completely fried!

But did I love it? Of freakin course!

Hunter is a bad ass Arum who is kinda like a bounty hunter. He has been hired by the DOD (bad) to get Luxens under control. Who knew? Right?!

Because once again, Luxens have always been good!

And who is Serena? She is simply a young female brought into a gigantic cluster fritter by her best friend Mel.

After some unfortunate events, Serena is put under Hunters watch.

These two have spicy relationship.

Honestly, I love Daemon and Katy… they are still my favorite. But I do wish that I had an adult version of the Lux Series… As we all know, Daemon just makes your skin crawl with all sorts …. stuff.

As much as I enjoyed Serena and Hunters relationship… Katy and Daemon have the best chemistry of all fictional friends.

Tons of useful information is provided in this novel regarding the DOD, the Arum, and the Luxen… also we are given a hint as to what Orgins may be about.

Luc and Paris make an appearance… and we even get a little bit of a Daemon show time… a little, not enough… but I still went all mushy.

FANTASTIC READ! 

But TOTALLY adult in content! 

You have been warned.

Oh yeah *squeals* 
This little ditty comes out in AUGUST!

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?

So... Anyone from the desert? Southwest by chance? 

Well, lets take a look at our current weekend weather...
Oh ya! No big deal! Right? 

I mean it's normal to have day time highs around 115! YUCK!

Well... Thank the Lord! I am out of here! Northbound! And I can't freakin' wait. Where will I be going you ask?

Tahoe. 
Yupper! 
On my way ASAP! 

I have been a bit behind in my readings. So I decided I would get my self all excited by making a Sea-ing Summer List! A little cheesy? Me thinks so, but I care not... 

Let begin with my YA Summer Reading List!

1. Apollyon by Jennifer L. Armentrout - Oh how I LOVE THIS AUTHOR! She has NEVER disappointed! This series is fantastic... and this book has been sitting on my bookshelf for far too long! 

2. Sweet Peril by Wendy Higgins - Ok... I am on page 62... I can't get into this... but I must finish it this summer... What's my problem you ask? Well... It's to religious for me... I am a spiritual person and have read enough books to know when I am reading a Christian novel...

3. The Madman's Daughter by Megan Shepherd -The hubs bought this for me... mixed reviews on GR... 

4. Beautiful Redemption by Garcia & Stohl - Not going to lie... this one scares me... Nuff said.




THAT'S ALL FOR TODAY! :)

Tomorrow I will post my NA/Adult reading list... Spicy! 

Sinners' on Tour - Wicked Beat (Book 4)

I am not even sure if I have done a review of a SINNERS' book on my blog yet! 
I think I was trying to keep it PG 13--- BUT screw PG 13! 
This book deserves a review of my small time blog!

WICKED BEAT!

OLIVIA CUNNING

4.5 SMEXY STARS! 

“Before I do something all stupid like fall in love with you, tell me exactly why you’re with me tonight.”

REALLY! YOU ARE JUST TOO CUTE ERIC!

-----

The diddy…

Truly, it’s no secret, I was a little perplexed by Mr. Sticks in the first two novels. For myself, reading Jace’s story sealed the deal and I fell head over heels for the 14 year old in a 26 year old’s body.

If you read this series in the order they were released (Book 1, Book 2 and SAY WHAT! Book 5? Ummm…), you were most likely a bit confused about the entire happenings with Jace and Eric in TREY’S story, but the kinks worked themselves out and now we FINALLY have a complete series, which desperately must be read in its entirety, IN ORDER FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, very, very soon!

 

“Her eyes widened, and he bit his lip. “Sorry”. He was bound and determined to fuck this up with his big mouth.”

Eric Sticks is blunt, brash, and absolutely the most adorable of all the Sinners’! Well, this is me little opinion anywho.

He fires off rapidly ;) and tends to have no gosh dern filter! No one seems to understand him and he has just taken to the fact that he WILL be alone his entire life.

Then Miss Reb comes into the picture as a temp sound technician for the Sinners’ (also Dave’s sister… Remember?… Bus crash? … Last book? … I KNOW, they are all running together for me too!)  

And who does Miss Reb have the hot’s for!? Well --- pause… who do we  ALL have the hot’s for!? TREY!

Quickly things begin to fall in place for Eric and Reb. But Trey… He is always around causing a little bit of trouble.  

Drama is to a minimum.

Anxiety levels were below normal.

Smexy time was pretty intriguing and the storyline hit a 4 out of 5 for me.

Enjoyable read but as always OLIVIA CUNNINGS DOES NOT HOLD BACK!

Extremely cute couple and now I must read Trey’s story again!

I still don’t feel like I can comfortably wave goodbye to my little back tour bus.

SOOOOOO WHAT ARE THE OTHER SINNERS' BOOKS YOU ASK?

3 Stars

So this happened forever ago, but relax …

THEY GET ME EVERY TIME!

FOOTBALL! BASEBALL! HECK I MIGHT EVEN DIG A HOCKEY PLAYER!

Okay maybe not a hockey player, I have seen a few hockey players in my day and there is a reason they wear full face masks. Rude??? Sorry…. Don’t stone me if you know a hot hockey player… just send me a picture *winks*

The stuff you find on a book cover ----

Angela Peterson was always the quiet, shy kid growing up in Harper Falls, crushing on the high school quarterback and honing her football strategy skills. Now grown up and coaching the high school team, she’s shocked when that same sexy quarterback returns to Harper Falls asks her back to his hotel room. And then tries to steal her job.

Injured NFL quarterback Cade Reynolds is in Harper Falls to take over as interim head coach, and he never thought the tall, blond bombshell he propositioned would offer up any resistance. Not to a repeat of the amazingly wild night they shared and certainly not to his coaching position.

But the Harper Falls High Eagles are Angie’s team, and even the hometown hero won’t take that away from her, no matter how hot he is. As the two engage in a battle of wits and wills, this is one game neither is prepared to lose.

CHARACTERS:

Pretty awesome lady Angela with confused intentions in the beginning but no biggy. For a women in her dirty thirties (I hate that terminology but I had to use it) she had her life where she wanted it and knew her limits… Until…

Cade, super hot (and super hot) but I wanted….no, I needed him to be more ALPHA! Take charge do something, but instead he was bit passive for me.

All secondary characters in my opinion were vanilla.

Over/Under:

18 + book with a plot that was “ok”. A bit anti-climatic but definitely had some fantastic swooning moments.

I was a fan, but I wouldn’t necessarily but this one on the top reads list just yet.

I will however read another novel by Ms. Barbosa… because her writing has the ability to pull you; it just needs to keep us bound ;) 

Well, well... Woods

Twisted Perfection 

5 Stars!

I loved this story!
The world Abbi Glines creates is such so... snotty (for one) and absolutely nothing close to reality! And this my friends... is why I love it! 

Life outside of her house was a new experience for Della Sloane. The dark secrets of her past weren’t something she ever intended to share with anyone. They would never understand. No one would ever get close enough to find out. There was always a chance she’d go crazy sooner than they expected…

Woods Kerrington had never been one to be attracted to fragile females. They seemed like too much work. He wasn’t in it for the work just the pleasure. A night full of naughty fun had been exactly what was on his mind when he’d laid eyes on the hot little number that didn’t know how to pump gas and needed some help.

What he didn’t know was she was as fragile as they came.
The carefree girl who spoke her mind and didn’t care what the world thought of her was more breakable than he could ever imagine…

Thinking thoughts and ponderations:

I was always, always drawn to Woods in the Fallen to Far series! I actually was like - Rush, move your ass aside - Woods - come in for the landing! 

But that obviously did not happen and I am 110% completely okay with the outcome ---- Because Della and Woods are perfections! 

Storyline is super unique and takes place in the ever beautiful Rosemary by the sea... 

Far fetched at times but hey that might just be because I have NEVER lived such an extravagant life ;) Well, of course, unless vicariously through my many fictional crushes. 

Ending was like BAM CLIFF HANGER! BUT not the ones that make you want to set you kindle on fire --- so relax --- *smiles*

Have fun reading this one --- Absolutely for a mature audience! So, don't say I didn't warn you if you begin having vivid Woods dreams. *winky*
