Synopsis: 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?

This was the first book in the series were the story was being told from both Damon and Katy's POV.  The author took a chance by changing things up, but it works marvelously. It really helped the story feel more well rounded. The two sided POV made me love both of these characters even more. This book sent me threw a range of emotions, which I liked.  I'm all about really getting into a story.  

First off,  I liked that Armentrout didn't keep Daemon and Katy apart for the whole book. I have to be honest, I was nervous that the entire story would be Daemon trying to rescue Katy. His POV from the outside and her POV from inside the DOD being tortured. Thank goodness that's not how the story went.

Synopsis: No one is like Daemon Black.

When he set out to prove his feelings for me, he wasn't fooling around. Doubting him isn't  something I’ll do again, and now that we've made it through the rough patches, well... There’s a lot of spontaneous combustion going on.

But even he can’t protect his family from the danger of trying to free those they love.

After everything, I’m no longer the same Katy. I’m different... And I’m not sure what that will mean in the end. When each step we take in discovering the truth puts us in the path of the secret organization responsible for torturing and testing hybrids, the more I realize there is no end to what I’m capable of. The death of someone close still lingers, help comes from the most unlikely source, and friends will become the deadliest of enemies, but we won’t turn back. Even if the outcome will shatter our worlds forever.


Together we’re stronger... and they know it.

Synopsis: Being connected to Daemon Black sucks…

Thanks to his alien mojo, Daemon’s determined to prove what he feels for me is more than a product of our bizarro connection. So I’ve sworn him off, even though he’s running more hot than cold these days. But we’ve got bigger problems.

Something worse than the Arum has come to town…

The Department of Defense are here. If they ever find out what Daemon can do and that we're linked, I’m a goner. So is he. And there's this new boy in school who’s got a secret of his own. He knows what’s happened to me and he can help, but to do so, I have to lie to Daemon and stay away from him. Like that's possible. Against all common sense, I'm falling for Daemon. Hard.

But then everything changes…

I’ve seen someone who shouldn’t be alive. And I have to tell Daemon, even though I know he’s never going to stop searching until he gets the truth. What happened to his brother? Who betrayed him? And what does the DOD want from them—from me?

No one is who they seem. And not everyone will survive the lies…

First let me just say…I meant to post this on Monday…then Tuesday…but I couldn't!! The laptop I was using caught a virus! Thus I had to breakdown and bring my work laptop home just to even blog!! That's it, I'm done with Windows computers! I'm making the jump to a MAC...okay, my mini rant is over.  

A congratulations goes out to Jennifer Armentrout!! I found out yesterday that Obsidian could be  heading to the big screen! Read more about it on her website!

Back to the subject at hand, without further ado, on with the review!

Synopsis: 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.

Aliens...oh how I miss hot alien boys! I wanted to read this mostly because I randomly missed Roswell, one of my favorite shows from a decade ago. If you haven't heard of it, check it out on Netflix!  I thought Max Evans was HOT and I wanted to read a series with another hot alien boy...and this delivered for sure! I digress, anyways the point is, I set out to read all 3 published books in this series during the Summer Lovin' Read-a-thon a few weeks ago, and guess what? I did it!  It was an easy thing to do as these books were to easy to devour.  Honestly, I was a bit nervous when I started reading, only for the fact that everyone that I asked about this series seemed to rave and fall all over themselves about it.  When that happens, I usually end up with the opinion that it's just so-so or have the opposite opinion. Not this time!

I read these back to back without taking the time to write reviews in between...thus, I will try my best not to mix up where one story ends and the next begins.  These books had no gaps between them, so It's hard to recall the ending exactly. Sorry, lesson learned!

Synopsis: It is freezing in the churchyard, even before the dead arrive.

Every year, Blue Sargent stands next to her clairvoyant mother as the soon-to-be dead walk past. Blue herself never sees them—not until this year, when a boy emerges from the dark and speaks directly to her.

His name is Gansey, and Blue soon discovers that he is a rich student at Aglionby, the local private school. Blue has a policy of staying away from Aglionby boys. Known as Raven Boys, they can only mean trouble.

But Blue is drawn to Gansey, in a way she can’t entirely explain. He has it all—family money, good looks, devoted friends—but he’s looking for much more than that. He is on a quest that has encompassed three other Raven Boys: Adam, the scholarship student who resents all the privilege around him; Ronan, the fierce soul who ranges from anger to despair; and Noah, the taciturn watcher of the four, who notices many things but says very little.

For as long as she can remember, Blue has been warned that she will cause her true love to die. She never thought this would be a problem. But now, as her life becomes caught up in the strange and sinister world of the Raven Boys, she’s not so sure anymore.

Let me say, I think that this book had a lot of hype last year. Unfortunately, it didn't exactly deliver to the heights that I expected.  I gave rated this a 3 only because I don't do half ratings.  If I did, I'd give this 2.5, but instead it got a bump to 3.  Thanks to SYNC's free summer downloads, I got this audio book for free! Yes, FREE! And I didn't even have to return it! I have the ebook version, via Net Galley, but I never had time to get to it.  This book seemed to always get pushed back lower and lower down the TBR list. Finally thanks to SYNC, I was finally able to get to it, on audio!

Synopsis:  Ethan Wate used to think of Gatlin, the small Southern town he had always called home, as a place where nothing ever changed. Then he met mysterious newcomer Lena Duchannes, who revealed a secret world that had been hidden in plain sight all along. A Gatlin that harbored ancient secrets beneath its moss-covered oaks and cracked sidewalks. A Gatlin where a curse has marked Lena's family of powerful Supernaturals for generations. A Gatlin where impossible, magical, life-altering events happen.

Sometimes life-ending.

Together they can face anything Gatlin throws at them, but after suffering a tragic loss, Lena starts to pull away, keeping secrets that test their relationship. And now that Ethan's eyes have been opened to the darker side of Gatlin, there's no going back. Haunted by strange visions only he can see, Ethan is pulled deeper into his town's tangled history and finds himself caught up in the dangerous network of underground passageways endlessly crisscrossing the South, where nothing is as it seems.

Synopsis: Allison Sekemoto has vowed to rescue her creator, Kanin, who is being held hostage and tortured by the psychotic vampire Sarren. The call of blood leads her back to the beginning—New Covington and the Fringe, and a vampire prince who wants her dead yet may become her wary ally.

Even as Allie faces shocking revelations and heartbreak like she’s never known, a new strain of the Red Lung virus that decimated humanity is rising to threaten human and vampire alike.

Disclaimer: I received this book as a galley courtesy of the publisher in exchange for an honest review. 

This was a strong second installment to a very promising series. It was entertaining, fast paced, full of emotional highs and lows and certainly didn't disappoint.

The Eternity Cure picks up a few months after the end of The Immortal Rules.  Allie is having nightmares of her sire, Kanin being tortured by Sarrin, a vindictive and crazy vampire who wants to make him pay for his part in the creation of the rabids.  While searching for Kanin, she finds herself in Old DC, where Allie discovers she inadvertently tracked Jackal instead. She reluctantly agrees to work with him to find the cure for the rabids and in return Jackal will help her rescue Kanin.
