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 neighbour, 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.
First Impressions:
This book was such a funny and addicting read. Sure, the writing isn't award winning, and the suspense isn't tantalising, but it was very entertaining. Daemon and Katy are so funny together. Can't wait to read the next book!

The Characters:
I related to Katy so much on the book blogging side of things. Having not posted a Waiting on Wednesday this week because of school, I felt her blogger pain. She was very funny and sweet, but sometimes made stupid decision. Why did she go to Homecoming with Simon? She knew it was a bad idea. But apart from that and her never realising that Daemon and Dee were aliens,she wasn't to annoying and a strong main character.
Daemon was simply horrible to Katy. I know that he wanted to protect Dee, but still. I liked how, further and further in the book he began to soften up. But even in the very last chapter he was still snarky when talking to Katy. There's still so much to learn about him. And he is definitely going on my top fictional boyfriends list. What I liked about this book was the fact that the aliens were made out of light. I thought that was very creative.
Dee was so sweet and kind. She would do anything for Katy I'm sure. There is a strong bond growing between her and Katy, and the gardening scene was so cute.
The Ending:
When the Arum arrived, I wasn't that surprised. To be honest, I didn't really find the ending that exciting. But it was fun to read.
Rating:
4/5 stars. A very addicting read. Definitely going to read Onyx. I would recommend this book to someone looking for a fun series or looking to get out of a reading slump.
