About this eBook

Discover the New York Times bestselling series from Jennifer L. Armentrout.

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 neighbor, 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.

Ratings and reviews

I absolutely LOVE this series. If you're looking for a series that has action, romance, suspense, steamy angst, humor, and loveable characters, THIS IS THE SERIES FOR YOU!! I have read them all a few times and it will always be one of those series that I will reread without being bored with it. Jennifer is such an awesome author, she made me really dislike most books I try to get into. She has ruined me in the best way. Katy and Daemon are such amazing characters. Daemon reminds me so much of Dean Winchester with his banter and ego. I cannot get enough.

I overall liked the book, and it was a great quick read while staying at the beach. The two main characters did get on my nerves a little but i also fell in love with them by the end of the book. I thought that Katy could be immature and make idiot decisions, but besides that i liked her a lot. Daemen on the other hand, gave me whiplash due to his bipolar personality and him being a jerk, but i also grew into loving his character. So overall i give a 4 star rating, because it was a quick, cute read.

I decided to give this one a go after an ad I read. While this ended up not being the novel that corresponded with the ad I was quickly hooked. The story was so good I finished it within a day. Excited to read more!
