Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout
5.0
Why did I take so long to start this series? I came across it about a year ago and it piqued my interest. But, I'm glad I finally decided on reading the first book. I'm not really a big paranormal person and I don't usually enjoy YA, but this book had so many strong elements that it made Obsidian addicting to read.
You would think something as cliched as new girl moving to town would be boring, but throw in some aliens and bad guys and you have yourself an amazing story. I think the book was well written and balanced considering the subject matter. The fact that Katy is a high school student wasn't forgotten but the alien aspects didn't overshadow everything.
As far as main characters go Katy was refreshing. I enjoyed the back and forth with Daemon and thought that the relationship between the two was adorable. I can't wait to finish the series and see what's ahead! Hopefully the other books do not disappoint.
