Description

Aliens are the new vampires, and sexy Daemon Black will set your pulse racing. . . STARTING OVER SUCKS 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 'If you haven't already picked these books up, seriously what are you waiting for!' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'I don't usually like alien stories, but this one! Oh my god! AMAZING!' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Immediately upon starting Obsidian I was hit with the most beautiful feelings of nostalgia. It made me feel how I felt reading Twilight, The Hunger Games, and Divergent for the first time' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
