I loved this book! I could not put it down.
Daemon and Katy’s relationship was so good. I loved their banter and the drama. I didn’t feel like any part of the book was predictable which is great in my opinion.
Highly recommend this series!
Tropes: enemies to lovers, slow burn
This is the book/series that got me hooked on JLA.

This read like Twilight fan faction, but I was kind of here for it. Rating it 3 stars on behalf of middle school Olivia.

I was going to give this three stars up until the end. I didn't hate it, but it has a LOT of problems and that ending was stupid, mainly because of a ridiculous decision made by our dear main character. I didn't like Daemon. I thought I might by the end. That he might redeem himself and stop being a jerk at some point, but no. That's his thing. Gaslighting and insulting and such are his favorite things. They both get off on pissing the other off. There was way too many physical descriptions. We had to be reminded just how attractive Daemon is and just how attracted Katy is to him. It got old for me fast.
I didn't completely hate everything. I liked Dee and I thought the aliens were a cool concept (if not well thought out). I don't think I'm interested in continuing the series, but I can see its appeal. It just isn't for me.

Ganz nette YA Fantasy. Es ist locker geschrieben und liest sich darum echt schnell.
Der love interest ist mal wieder ein arroganter Idiot. Mir persönlich gefällt das nicht, darum allein schon Abzug in der Wertung. Sonst erinnert es mich vom gesamten Aufbau ein bisschen an die shadowhunter Bücher.
Man kann sich damit ganz gut die Zeit vertreiben aber schätze, dass mir die ganze Geschichte nicht lange in Erinnerung bleiben wird. Ich würde lieb gemeinte 2,5 Sterne vergeben, aber auf 3 aufrunden fühlt sich falsch an.

loved it! absolutely loved it! deff skyrocketed to one of my top books!
only problem is sometimes the writing seems to be trying "too hard" to sound teenage but you can get around that fairly easy.

DNF at 20%.
I wanted to try this as part of Entangled’s readalong but oooooof.
So far at 20% in, I’m just bored out of my mind. I was promised a paranormal romance and I’m just getting a really terrible contemporary where the guy is a douchebag. Daemon is seriously the worst?? And he ends up trying to play nice with Katy bc his sister stole his keys. Those keys better be to his re-energize chamber and he will die without it because it makes no sense why - if she is such a terrible thing for them to be near - why is he doing this for SOME KEYS??
I know this is an alien romance but good god, I needed more signs (ha, get it) earlier for me to care. And for Daemon not to be such a sus douche. When he grabbed her ankle and wouldn’t let her go inside without promising to meet the next day? RED FLAG. 🚩
So yeah, peace out ✌️

This won't be a long review, more of a short one so I can express my feelings. :)
I have heard a lot about this book, several friends told me I should read it, and lots of people on the internet were/are raving about it. I decided to get the 2-in-1-book that is roaming around and start reading.
And now after reading it, I can see the appeal. Deamon is pretty hot, and Katy is pretty awesome (and I love the fact that she reads a lot of books, squeals when books come in, and has a book blog). There is a lot of tension between the two and while I did get annoyed, I also kind of liked the bickering between them.
(Kind of, because really guys? Do you need to bicker so much? It just felt fake and off.)
However, and this might be very unpopular opinion, I felt at times like I was reading Twilight. Deamon's constant, we are not good for you/you are not good for us/leave us alone shtick. It is practically the same thing that Edward kept hammering about in most of the first book. Add to that that she is apparently not even afraid of him or his skills. Add to that her clingy ways and her attitude around Deamon. At one time I was even wondering when someone would come in to play the role of Jacob (sadly never happened). Also as soon as they do something (you all probably know what I mean), for some reason they can't stop (see Twilight and Bella's reaction to Edward). In the end I was just laughing at a lot of the parts, shaking my head and wondering if anyone else sees it.
Also added the fact they have made fun of Twilight, and sorry I was just shaking my head. Still a great quote/sentence, but yeah, I was already thinking the story was a bit Twilightish and then someone asks about sparkling.
The story also takes quite a while to start up. At times I felt like putting down the book, but then I reminded myself I had this book for a challenge + I was really curious for the reason why people were raving over this book. Around the middle/end stuff happened, and my rating for the book went from a 2/3 stars, to a 4 star. And that is where it stayed all that time.
Maybe I will like the second book more, with the story already there, unlike the first book where the story just takes ages to come alive, to finally get to the point. I will be sure to check the book out, but if it is once again Twilightish and once again endless bickering without anything good, then I might just say no to this series.
Extra points btw to the Deamon's sister. I really liked her, she was fun, energetic and interesting. She really gave the book something extra, and she made me want to read the story some more.
Some extra points for how hot Deamon is. Yeah, superficial, but sorry, I just have to give credit to a yummy guy (even if he has the worst attitude possible, but that seems to come often with hot guys).
