Obsidian (Lux #1)

Title: Obsidian
Author: Jennifer L Armentrout
My rating: 5 stars

Beautiful face. Beautiful body. Horrible attitude. It was the holy trinity of hot boys.

Starting over is never easy...

After Katy Swartz’s father passes away from cancer, her mother decided to make a fresh start. A new house, new town and new school doesn’t sound like much fun to Katy, especially having to leave Florida for West Virginia and having an ultra gorgeous, ultra powerful and ultra douche bag  for a neighbour. Oh yeah, he’s also an alien.
Although Daemon Black is infuriatingly handsome and infuriatingly rude, his sister Dee becomes Kat’s best friend and they are forced to spend time together. This results in many witty exchanges, sarcastic remarks and of course, a lot of sexual tension.
After an accident, Daemon heals Kat with his ‘extra-terrestrial’ powers, forming a supernatural bond between them.  Instead of giving away anything else, I’ll just say that what follows will be enough to make you spontaneously combust.


Daemon Black
Daemon Black is both hot and annoying as hell. Acting hot one second, and cold the next, he confused Katy and myself into evoking a love-hate relationship with him; that adorable little bigot.

Katy Swartz

Kat is hands down my favourite female protagonist in YA literature. She is witty, intelligent, funny and strong all at once. She stands up to Daemon and is anything but a damsel in distress. I especially love the pop culture references she constantly makes, it demonstrates that she is an actual teenager and makes her more relatable.


I love everything about Obsidian and every other book in this series. Thankfully, this first one doesn’t end with a cliff-hanger but still makes you want to read the next one.
