Oh, holy alien babies everywhere......this book is AMAZING!

I'm running out of ways to tell you how amazing this author’s work really is because Onyx really does not disappoint. It’s thrilling, heart-pounding and just as explosive as Obsidian - if not even better and it will leave you wanting more and more!

Onyx starts pretty much where Obsidian finishes. Katy is trying to move on with her life but it’s hard when she has Daemon Black trying to win her over at every turn. Katy is convinced that Daemon is only interested in her because of the connection they now share, so when new boy Blake turns up - showing his interest in Katy, she is happy with the attention she is getting from him but, can she really forget her feelings for Daemon?

Not only does Katy have to deal with boy drama but she also has to deal with the consequences from Daemon healing her and they are truly life changing for her. Struggling to deal, Katy tries to solve things on her own but is she only making things worse? And can she really protect the ones she loves?

Yes, it's safe to say I have fallen in love with another book by this author and she really does know how deliver a fantastic storyline that keeps you sitting on the edge of seat from excitement. It's action packed all the way through, with enough descriptions to make you really feel like your with the characters and this book is seriously HOT! The temperature goes up a whole new level and the scenes between Daemon and Katy do not disappointment.

The characters this time around grow so much. Katy becomes a lot stronger, even though she is still her funny and witty self, the changes that happen to her force her to become someone stronger. She trains hard and really tried her best to become Daemon's equal. Even though they aren't the perfect couple, Daemon really tries his hardest to win Katy over. You see a side of him that you have never seen before and it will seriously leave you girls wishing you had you're very own Daemon Black. He's even more swoon-worthy and totally steals the show.

All in all, Onyx is a fantastic sequel and the author has done a fantastic job by adding the right amount of excitement, romance and suspense to the story, and of course I can't forget to mention one VERY shocking part of the story that will leave you breathless. Jennifer has definitely raised the bar for Opal which will be released in December 2012 and I seriously cannot wait.

A huge thank you to Entangled Publishing for giving me the opportunity to review this book.

Donna Ahhh thank you Bec!!! Hows the writing going? And YES you should read the first book!!! Lol


message 15: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca Rogers It's going well. :D I'm actually about to take a break from social media for a couple of days so I can get some writing done. *glares at Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ, Facebook, and Twitter* SO distracting. :P


message 16: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca Rogers *ahem* I mean, later today. lol xD


Donna Ha! I can imagine the temptation. We're all so, so awesome on here. lol


Annie Brewer Haha Omg I have the same problem. Writing 2 books while surfing Fb and gr is impossible!!! Must stay away!!! Lol


message 19: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca Rogers Of course everyone is. ;)

I just find myself scanning GRs for hours sometimes. Like, I'll find one book that sounds interesting, read the reviews, look over the recommended books on the right of that page, find another book, and the process starts all over. FOR HOURS. I'm like, "Dude, how have I wasted hours of my life looking at books?" Although, drooling over books probably doesn't count as being wasteful in any capacity. haha :D

I'm glad I'm not alone. I think I need therapy. ;D


Annie Brewer Lol!! No you're far from alone on that!!! I'm always obsessing over books!! I need therapy as well. I have a sickness! Haha


message 22: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca Rogers My problem is I buy more than I can read and they just sit there, all alone. :| lol


Annie Brewer I have that problem as well. Though I tend to start one and then i will start another and another and take forever to finish one. I used to read faster and more but lately I've been having a reading spell. :-/


message 24: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca Rogers Me too. :/ I try to branch out and read romance or mystery or something that's not YA. lol Most of the time, it helps. :)
