Obsidian by K.F. Breene
5.0
I knew I was going to love Obsidian before even starting it because simply put, K.F. Breene wrote it and she is incapable of writing a bad book.. and honestly, it even exceeded my expectations! Daisy was such a lovable little sarcastic badass in the Demigods of San Francisco series & now years later into her training, she’s really thrived as the only human in a found family of magical people. Speaking of her found family, seeing Lexi, Kieran, Mordecai, the 6, Bria, Dylan, Jerry, and Amber again was like stepping into a warm hug 🫂 I missed this crew and desperately needed this new installment!

*There are three spicy scenes in Obsidian. I’ve included the pages/percentages at the bottom of this review.*
Obsidian takes place about 5 years after Demigods ends and Daisy is now 19. She hasn’t forgotten the fae (even dreams about him often) that caused destruction at the Summit all those years ago, so when he suddenly reappears, she’s ready to kill him for what he did. The fae has other plans though and marks her so that she cannot kiss another man or he will come to kill them. This also unfortunately acts as a “contract” to allow him passage into the human realm.
Daisy also learns that the fae is searching for a chalice that will allow the fae to destroy the Faegate and gain full access to the human realm. This would mean utter destruction for humans because the fae are known to be ruthless. She will do anything to keep him from obtaining the chalice; so her and her family set out to find it before he can.
Unfortunately, Daisy finds herself captured by a group of fae and the not-so-white knight to come to the rescue is none other than her fae, Tarian. Even more unfortunately, after “saving” her he essentially forces her to make the treacherous crossing to the fae realm to be used as a pawn in his political machinations.
Daisy and Tarian have this inexplicable magnetic draw to each other, which complicates the whole wanting to kill each other thing and makes their dialogue really freaking funny! I really enjoyed getting to see the way they worked together as a team, worked through (and are still working through) the betrayals, and learning all the history right alongside Daisy. I really really cannot wait for the next book!!
This is just a random appreciate for K.F. Breene including this in the book - Daisy at one point has an aura migraine & I have NEVER seen this represented in a book before. It was kind of neat to see it explained because I too suffer from them and the vision impairment is so hard to describe to people but Queen Breene did it perfectly! 🫶🏻
Favorite quotes:
You are mine now. Mine to play with. Mine to break. I do not share. If someone threatens you, they are threatening my property. I will deal with them in kind.
“You are so much more than a mere Chester. So much more than a human. You have the radiance of a god.”
“Daisy. Such a dainty name that fits this petite, doll-like creature I see before me. And so perfectly hides the monstrous beast that rages within. It is truly a pleasure.”
