Onyx -- Jennifer L. Armentrout

Here is the Goodreads summary:

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….

Here is my opinion:

And the tensions rise. This book is so frustrating. You think that maybe Katy and Daemon will get together. No they don't. Daemon says, "Ya I liked you all along so just forget I was a jerk and admit you love me," and Katy being the awesome chick she is says, "Screw you Daemon." Except she is actually falling way hard for Daemon. Every freaking twist in the novel is so freaking unexpected this book actually is drool worthy it's so good. Definitely recommend

Obsidian -- Jennifer Armentrout

Here is the goodreads summary:

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.

Here is my opinion:

 I am not normally a fan of supernatural romances. I'm a fantasy kind of person actually. But this book is so good! You hate Daemon while completely falling in love with him and it's an even better read the second time through. The sexual tension between the two main characters is practically tangible at some points. While at other times there is just the need to punch Daemon in the face because he is such a jerk. The book is well written too. A way I judge a book is by taking out the romance scenes and without the romance this is actually a good book. And it just gets better in the sequel.

Fire -- Kristin Cashore

Here is the Goodreads summary so you get the basic gist:

It is not a peaceful time in the Dells. The young King Nash clings to his throne while rebel lords in the north and south build armies to unseat him. The mountains and forests are filled with spies and thieves and lawless men.

This is where Fire lives. With a wild, irresistible appearance and hair the color of flame, Fire is the last remaining human monster. Equally hated and adored, she had the unique ability to control minds, but she guards her power, unwilling to steal the secrets of innocent people. Especially when she has so many of her own.

Then Prince Brigan comes to bring her to King City, The royal family needs her help to uncover the plot against the king. Far away from home, Fire begins to realize there's more to her power than she ever dreamed. Her power could save the kingdom.

If only she weren't afraid of becoming the monster her father was.

Here is my opinion of the book:

This book is not so much about the war as it is about Fire herself. It tells how Fire discovers her place and becomes the person she wants to be. The book is so great. Fire deals with the opposite of what most girls now a days deal with. Fire is too pretty and she knows how pretty she is but she hates it. She doesn't like to manipulate the people around her using her beauty even though she could. Society now a days would tell her she was not living to her full potential by not using "the gifts she was given". Fire then discovers that she can use her abilities, but not to benefit herself. She only uses them to benefit the kingdom and at first she is even unwilling to do that. I love the way the book develops the character so much.

Looking for Alaska -- John Green

Here is the summary off of Goodreads so you get the basic gist of the book:

Before. Miles "Pudge" Halter's whole existence has been one big nonevent, and his obsession with famous last words has only made him crave the "Great Perhaps" (François Rabelais, poet) even more. He heads off to the sometimes crazy, possibly unstable, and anything-but-boring world of Culver Creek Boarding School, and his life becomes the opposite of safe. Because down the hall is Alaska Young. The gorgeous, clever, funny, sexy, self-destructive, screwed-up, and utterly fascinating Alaska Young, who is an event unto herself. She pulls Pudge into her world, launches him into the Great Perhaps, and steals his heart.

After. Nothing is ever the same.

Here is my opinion:

My opinion on this one probably is very unpopular but I am going to be honest. I didn't like this one as much. People say that it's honest about what real life is like. If I wanted an honest book about the more wild side of high school I would go talk to some of the kids in my classes. I mean, I'm not trying to be judgemental even though I probably am doing so but seriously not everything in there was necessary. The sex scenes were, though not terrible graphic compared to what there is out there now, were not quite needed to do more than show that Pudge was not used to this wild life. Additionally, why does he start smoking, because his roomate does. Pudge doesn't even fight the peer pressure and doesn't seem to have any set moral standards at all. He just goes with what the Colonel (his roomate) tells him too. Where is his frickin backbone. All in all I wasn't too big of a fan though others will tell you it is moon worthy.

The Fault In Our Stars -- John Green

Here is the summary off of Goodreads so you get the basic gist of the book.

Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, 

Hazel has never been anything but terminal, 

her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. 

But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters 

suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, 

Hazel's story is about to be completely rewritten.

Here is my opinion:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This book will cut your heart out of your chest blow it up like a balloon and then pop it with a pencil... and you will enjoy every moment of it. No, but seriously, this is book is so frickin life alteringly good. There making it into a movie and if that movie doesn't live up to the book there will be angry swarms of fans. This book is emotionally exhausting. You laugh while tears stream down your face and you plan the desperate murder of John Green who caused this emotional pain. The honest acceptance that Hazel has of her own impending death is heart wrenching and so frustrating! By the end my lungs were sore and my eyes were burning from so many tears shed, and I loved every moment of the book.

An Abundance of Katherines -- John Green

Here is the summary off of Goodreads so you get the basic gist of the book.

Katherine V thought boys were gross

Katherine X just wanted to be friends

Katherine XVIII dumped him in an e-mail

K-19 broke his heart

When it comes to relationships, Colin Singleton's type happens to be girls named Katherine. And when it comes to girls named Katherine, Colin is always getting dumped. Nineteen times, to be exact.

On a road trip miles from home, this anagram-happy, washed-up child prodigy has ten thousand dollars in his pocket, a bloodthirsty feral hog on his trail, and an overweight, Judge Judy-loving best friend riding shotgun--but no Katherines. Colin is on a mission to prove The Theorem of Underlying Katherine Predictability, which he hopes will predict the future of any relationship, avenge Dumpees everywhere, and finally win him the girl. Love, friendship, and a dead Austro-Hungarian archduke add up to surprising and heart-changing conclusions in this ingeniously layered comic novel about reinventing oneself.

And here is my opinion.

Once again John Green never ceases to amaze me! I really enjoyed this book, almost as much as I enjoy chocolate rice krispy treats. Yum! Normally I can't stand when a book jumps around in time but this one was able to tie in the skippy timeline thing. The best part is that John Green wrote a touching romance novel where the feelings between the characters is so much more than just sensual lust and tension. I read romance novels and sometimes I get the "Romeo and Juliet" relationship feel or the "Planning the other persons murder and then succumbing to wild monkey lusts". This didn't have that at all. These two met and they were friends before they were in love. Of course I am failing to mention the fact that there is a fight scene in this book even though it's a romance. This book is so great.
