No one is like Daemon Black.I've only started reading JLA's books since shortly after this blog started, and I've reviewed them all (a couple have yet to be posted), but they all seem to go the exact same, in that I can't find words to express my adoration.
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. (From Goodreads)
Yet again, a brilliant story that left me an emotional wreck. Literally. Ask my roommate. We decided it was a good idea to read this during exam period (AKA when we should have been studying).
I will say this though: the ending was cliche. I don't want to give too much away, but I saw something like this happening. Anytime you have two characters clearly in love, something has to happen and get in the way of their epic romance. Authors are awesome, but they have a vicious side that never wants to let us be too happy about our character's romantic interludes for very long. Regardless of my suspicions, I was devastated.
If you have yet to read this series, you're missing out. Get on it. It excites me that Chapters (Canada-land's main bookstore) is finally stocking the series on their shelves, so go check it out!
Book four in the series, Origin, won't be out for a while (tentatively July 2013?!?!), and will be written in dual POV between Katy and Daemon. Again, we should have seen that ending coming.
Much love, Samantha
PS. Daemon really should try leather pants.
PPS. Katy's mom is too awesome. As a nursing student trying to plan her independent placements, I want her mom as my preceptor. Seriously, drunk's detoxing are the worst.
Hahaha! I do that too! Read during exams and forget I have to study. ;) I've read Obsidian and Onyx (obviously!) and I really want to read Opal as well (again, obviously!). I know this one ends on a major cliff-hanger, but I heart cliff-hangers and I can't wait to know more! Really cool review! :)

I've been hearing a lot about this series lately. I think that's a pretty clear sign that I need to get reading it. :)
ReplyDeleteDaemon so should try the leather pants...and then proceed to parading around my house in them!
ReplyDeleteI saw that ending coming too and was disappointed at how easily seen it was. I guess it was quite fitting though. Hate that we have such a long wait. Authors are evil!! :)
