Obsidian

Oh my kittens! I always thought my favorite Damon would be from Vampire Diaries- I mean come on, who doesn't think Ian Somerhalder is dreamy? Well, there's a new Daemon in town, and he could also be played by Ian Somerhalder, lol. Katy moves to Virginia after the death of her father. When she innocently goes over to the neighbors house to ask for directions, she is met at the door by a shirtless Daemon. And he isn't nice, or friendly or anyone she wants to hang out with. But he is breathtaking with amazing green eyes. His twin sister Dee becomes Katy's friend against Daemon's wishes and she finds herself stuck in situations that involve him. One problem, he isn't from this planet and interacting with humans if reeeeeeeeeallllly frowned upon. They are Luxen, and can manipulate light. Daemon is one  of the most powerful of his kind and another evil group, the Arum are looking for them to steal their powers. Katy becomes an unwilling participant in this battle even as she and Daemon find ways to make each other miserable. Just when he seems to be getting nicer, he does something so rude that Katy questions every moment she spends with him. I would have finished this book in a day if I wasn't on a mission to finish A Dance With Dragons at the same time. There is a lot of action, no damsels in distress and many funny, obnoxious moments between Daemon and Katy. He is the typical supernatural boy- beautiful, heroic, and down right frustrating to the non-supernatural heroine, who is highly likable as well. She doesn't let him get away with any of his rudeness. Feisty! At the end of the book there are several chapters told from his point of view and they make you love him even more! Word on the street is that there are going to be five books in the series and number 2 is sitting on my shelf. But it will have to wait while I get back to Jon Snow and the watchers on the wall. For all my girls who love Patch, Jace, Akiva and Daniel, you will fall for Daemon in no time. Enjoy the ride and happy reading my friends!
