About OPPOSITION:


Katy knows the world changed the night the Luxen came. She can't believe Daemon welcomed his race or stood by as his kind threatened to obliterate every last human and hybrid on Earth. But the lines between good and bad have blurred, and love has become an emotion that could destroy her—could destroy them all. Daemon will do anything to save those he loves, even if it means betrayal. They must team with an unlikely enemy if there is any chance of surviving the invasion. But when it quickly becomes impossible to tell friend from foe, and the world is crumbling around them, they may lose everything— even what they cherish most—to ensure the survival of their friends…and mankind. War has come to Earth. And no matter the outcome, the future will never be the same for those left standing.

EXCERPT:


Katy


I still stared at Daemon, completely aware that everyone else except him was watching me. Closely. But why wouldn’t he look at me? A razor-sharp panic clawed at my insides. No. Thiscouldn’t be happening. No way.My body was moving before I even knew what I was doing. From the corner of my eye, I saw Dee shake her head and one of the Luxen males step forward, but I was propelled by an inherent need to prove that my worst fears were not coming true. After all, he’d healed me, but then I thought of what Dee had said, of how Dee had behaved with me. What if Daemon was like her? Turned into something so foreign and cold? He would’ve healed me just to make sure he was okay. I still didn’t stop.
 Please, I thought over and over again. Please. Please. Please. On shaky legs, I crossed the long room, and even thoughDaemon hadn’t seemed to even acknowledge my existence, I walked right up to him, my hands trembling as I placed them on his chest. “Daemon?” I whispered, voice thick. His head whipped around, and he was suddenly staring down at me. Our gazes collided once more, and for a second I saw something so raw, so painful in those beautiful eyes. And then his large hands wrapped around my upper arms. The contact seared through the shirt I wore, branding my skin, and I thought—I expected—that he would pull me against him, that he would embrace me, and even though nothing would be all right, it would be better. Daemon’s hands spasmed around my arms, and I sucked in an unsteady breath. His eyes flashed an intense green as he physically lifted me away from him, setting me back down a good foot back. I stared at him, something deep in my chest cracking. “Daemon?” He said nothing as he let go, one finger at a time, it seemed, and his hands slid off my arms. He stepped back, returning his attention to the man behind the desk. “So . . . awkward,” murmured the redhead, smirking. I was rooted to the spot in which I stood, the sting of rejection burning through my skin, shredding my insides like I was nothing more than papier-mâché. “I think someone was expecting more of a reunion,” the Luxen male behind the desk said, his voice ringing with amusement. “What do you think, Daemon?” One shoulder rose in a negligent shrug. “I don’t think anything.” My mouth opened, but there were no words. His voice, his tone, wasn’t like his sister’s, but like it had been when we first met. He used to speak to me with barely leashed annoyance, where a thin veil of tolerance dripped from every word.The rift in my chest deepened.
For the hundredth time since the Luxen arrived, SergeantDasher’s warning came back to me. What side would Daemon and his family stand on? A shudder worked its way down my spine. I wrapped my arms around myself, unable to truly process what had just happened. “And you?” the man asked. When no one answered, he tried again. “Katy?” I was forced to look at him, and I wanted to shrink back from his stare. “What?” I was beyond caring that my voice broke on that one word. The man smiled as he walked around the desk. My gaze flickered over to Daemon as he shifted, drawing the attention of the beautiful redhead. “Were you expecting a more personal greeting?” he asked. “Perhaps something more intimate?” I had no idea how to answer. I felt like I’d fallen into the rabbit hole, and warnings were firing off left and right. Something primal inside me recognized that I was surrounded by predators.

Don't miss the books that started it all...

Origin (The Lux Series) by Jennifer Armentrout

Origin

Daemon will do anything to get Katy back.
After the successful but disastrous raid on Mount Weather, he’s facing the impossible. Katy is gone. Taken. Everything becomes about finding her. Taking out anyone who stands in his way? Done. Burning down the whole world to save her? Gladly. Exposing his alien race to the world? With pleasure.
All Katy can do is survive.
Surrounded by enemies, the only way she can come out of this is to adapt. After all, there are sides of Daedalus that don’t seem entirely crazy, but the group’s goals are frightening and the truths they speak even more disturbing. Who are the real bad guys? Daedalus? Mankind? Or the Luxen?
Together, they can face anything.
But the most dangerous foe has been there all along, and when the truths are exposed and the lies come crumbling down, which side will Daemon and Katy be standing on?
And will they even be together? 

Darra's Review:

I cannot express enough how much I love this series. Never a dull moment. Daemon is my one true alien love(not that their are many aliens, but he is exceptional). I can tell you that I don't believe I have read a series as good as the Lux Series...ever.

I really do like Katy. She is badass and does not take any crap from Daemon. The last book, Opal, left me screaming at my nook. I almost wanted to send an email to Jennifer expressing how distraught I was to leave me hanging till August.

Now I have read Origin. And it is as great as all of her other books. Jennifer writes the best characters and Daemon is the perfect amount of Hot, funny, smartass and loving. Yes, I said that. You get to finally see that side of him.

I give this book a 4.8. Sunny and I can't confirm this yet since the series is not over, but we may give the Lux Series a perfect score overall. Don't tell anyone!

Sunny's Review:

So most of you know that I dragged my feet before reading this series. I mean seriously...ALIENS in high school...give me a break...yeah I was wrong. OMG I love it. I love the banter between Katy and Daemon. Even when they are being all lovey dovey-ish they exchange quips. LOVE IT!

Like Darra I was extremely distraught after Opal and my eyeballs may have leaked a little (Jennifer did recieve an email from me).  I mean it was seriously traumatizing and it was not any better the 2nd time around (yes I reread this series too.)  So this book you get to see MORE Daemon. Jennifer writes from his POV as well as Katy. I love books like that...for some reason the guy POV is just better. I feel like you have to love Daemon even more since you get to see what he is really thinking about her.  You also get to see a lot more Dawson & Bethany which is really great. You get to meet some new people and of course you get to see Luc again. I absolutely love the scene between Daemon and Hunter that you don't get to see in Obsession. I mean this book is just beyond AMAZING!!!

I am going to go with Darra and give this book a HIGH 4.8 out of 5 stars. LOVE IT and don't know how I am going to make it another year for the next book...oh wait...Sentinel is coming out in November...that should hold me for a day or two. (That book is the end of Jennifer's Covenant Series.)

Buy The Books:

BUSY BUSY AUGUST!!!


So as most of you know August is here...summer is almost over and WE ARE SO BUSY!!! There are so many things going on that Darra and I don't know if we are coming of going...ridiculous but wouldn't want it any other way. There are SO many GREAT books coming out this month!!!

So lets get started...if you have seen our FB posts we were ALL about Daemon and Katy last week with LUX series READATHON. Thanks again to the blogs that put that on (go follow them if you are not already) Stuck In BooksJust A Booklover and K-Books!!  We had a blast and it was almost like reading it for the first time again b/c so many people had different thoughts/views and loved the same parts as you. (PS I will be stalking eveyone's blog that participated!)




Tomorrow night I will be at Wicked and can't wait (so I will not be reading). Thank you again to everyone in my office for the B-Day present! I am so excited. This will be the second play I have ever been to. If you remember (or don't I have a blog post about it) my first experience was SPANK! If that comes to your city go see it...I laughed until I cried!


We posted on the Adult Page a review for Taken by You on the Adult Page. If you have not seen it, go check it out. That series is FREAKING awesome and CRAZY! I liked it a lot more than I thought I would and I am seriously kinda hung up on Neil...YUMMY!  We also have 3 more reviews coming this week (told you BUSY!) Two are tomorrow and one on Friday so keep a look out!  We also have 4 or 5 more blog tours this month not to mention several cover reveals...so...again keep watching for new stuff!

One of our first blogs EVER was a reveiw of The Coincidence of Callie and Kayden by Jessica Sorensen. Just in case you don't remember (and I don't want to go back and look see what my blogs looked like from
back then) I will give you a recap...I LOVED the book. I could not wait for The Redemption of Callie and Kayden. I loved that Kayden had problems too. He came across as the super HOT, PERFECT football star.  So anyways...LOVE the book. Guess what came out July 30???? That's right...THE REDEMPTION OF CALLIE AND KAYDEN!!!  I can't tell you what I think b/c I will have a review up soonish...


The next book out this month that I am so READY to read is LOVE ME by Jillian Dodd! This is another series that I have done several posts on. If you have not read any of them WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!!??!!?? Get on it! Keatyn is a teenager and she has problems. A stalker and WAY too many boys to deal with. So basically her "perfect" life (like anyone has a perfect life but everyone thinks she does) is pulled out from under her and she has to survive by herself. So this is the 4th installment and I have been chomping at the bit to get my hands on this book! So this book comes out on August 11 and it will be a who is up at midnight with me to download ASAP.  If you have not gotten into this series Stalk Me is on sale on bn.com for $0.99. GO GET IT!  Yes, I know you are waiting...here is my plug for Jillian's other series! THAT BOY and THAT WEDDING are AWESOME!!! Phillip has been THE NUMBER 1 book boyfriend since that read and NOBODY has dethroned him yet!!! Danny is freaking awesome too and if I couldn't have Phillip I would DEFINITELY take Danny. (BTW Darra and I just had a good 5 minute trip down PHILLIP LANE with lots of *SIGHS*) I mean Jillian can definitely write some awesome boys. I mean lets look at Keatie's Boys...CUSH, AIDEN (The God of All Hotties), Dawson (YUMMY) and apparently a new bodyguard/soccer coach in this new book...so jealous...where were these boys when I was in high school??


LAST and certainly not least...ORIGIN by Jennifer L. Armentrout comes out August 27th!!!! CAN'T WAIT!!! So we did the Lux Readathon last weekend and all I can think about is getting my hands on this book. I will be out of comminsion for the day it will take me to read this book. I am going to try to drag it out for at least 2 days but lets be honest...not gonna happen! If you haven't read this series...do it. I put it off b/c I was like "Seriously Darra. Aliens? Come on!" As usual she was right...ALIENS!!!


I think that is all that is going on this month...OH WAIT!!! Just in case Darra and I were not busy enough we joined Fantasy Football today...SOOOOOOO...yeah...we are CRAZY! (I need help with my Team Name so if you have any ideas...I love the Colts and Peyton Manning....)  I am also sure more stuff will happen b/c SOMEONE agrees to blog tours without looking at the calendar and stickies!!!! (not naming names)

What's Going On For The Rest Of MAY!!!

Ok...so a lot is going on for the end of May!!! I am very excited and nervous...

Nervous...

Stealing Harper by Molly McAdams is out tomorrow...Thank you to eveyone that pre-ordered (I was one of them too!) so it is coming out 2 weeks early!!! So here is my problem with this release...you may or may not remember awhile back when I could NOT get Chase Grayson out of my head. I fell head over heels for him and seriously if you read Taking Chances (like I told you to) then you know why I am FREAKING OUT over Stealing Harper. It is Chase's POV!!! OMG I can't even imagine how much more I am going love him!!!! I can also only imagine how upset I am going to be at the same time!!!!  Now my question is...do I wait until this weekend to read and have my emotional breakdown then or do I just forget the work week and read it ASAP and be an emotional, worthless wreck??? What do you think??? Can I make it until this weekend???  P.S. If you did not see this song from an earlier post...Molly McAdams thinks this would be a song from Chase to Harper...


Excited!!!

The Blessed Tragedy blog tour kicks off this week. Darra and I read this book so keep an eye out for our review later this week..did we both like it or did one of us hate it...hmmmm I don't know...maybe we both hated it...you have to tune in to see!!! 

Trophy Husband is being released this week so you need to go and get that!

Next week we have 2 tour stops...Forgiven and then See. Again, who knows what we thought!!! Do you think Darra and I finally 100% disagree on a book??? Maybe...maybe not.  

The Forever of Ella and Micha by Jessica Sorensen is being released next week!!! I have been waiting on this book for A LONG TIME!!! I love Jessica's books but I definitely hate the wait.  If you have not read The Secret of Ella and Micha then you need to do it. This story is about best friends that grew up next door to each other and something happens (you have to read it to know what!) so Ella takes off...the book is set 8 months later when Ella comes back to town for the summer. You have to love Micha...he is sweet and awesome...go get these books!!

Obsession by Jennifer L. Armentrout is also coming out next week!!! This book takes place in the Lux world but is a stand alone book. You don't have to read the Lux series to know what is going on and you don't have to read Obsession if you read the Lux books. Darra is the one that got me started on this author and she is AWESOME!!! I have not read a book yet by her that I do not like. I totally recommend you reading these books. My sister text me this weekend and was like "I can't believe I have to wait for the NEXT BOOK!!! How could she end it that way???" So if you have read the Lux series, Obsession is from the Arum POV. I am interested to see if it is going to make me like them or if I am going to continue to hate them b/c I love Daemon so much. 

I think that is all that is going on...next month looks to be another good one...just saying...be prepared!!!!

Obsession Cover Reveal

He’s arrogant, domineering, and… To. Die. For.

Hunter is a ruthless killer. And the Department of Defense has him firmly in their grasp, which usually doesn’t chafe too badly because he gets to kill bad guys. Most of the time he enjoys his job. That is, until he’s saddled with something he’s never had to do before: protect a human from his mortal enemy.

Serena Cross didn’t believe her best friend when she claimed to have seen the son of a powerful senator turn into something…unnatural. Who would? But then she witnesses her friend’s murder at the hands of what can only be an alien, thrusting her into a world that will kill to protect their secret.

Hunter stirs Serena’s temper and her lust despite their differences. Soon he’s doing the unthinkable—breaking the rules he’s lived by, going against the government to keep Serena safe. But are the aliens and the government the biggest threats to Serena’s life…or is it Hunter?
