Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout

As much as I love to expand my mind and learn new things, I also love a good guilty pleasure teen romance. I love it even more when there is a supernatural factor. The Lux series by Jennifer L. Armentrout provides me with what I need to get my fix for a romantic, easy read. There are so many frustrating moments between the main characters Katy and Daemon, you are literally waiting until the near end of the book for something to happen. You aren’t satisfied with what happens though, at least I wasn’t, but it really makes you look forward to the next book. You’ll have plenty to look forward to in fact, there are five more books following Obsidian, a prequel, and additional spin offs. There is good strength of character in Katy, she doesn’t let herself get pushed around by the overbearing Daemon, but she is only a teenage girl. She does show weakness in the face of his good looks and flirtatious, teasing personality, but it’s impressive how much she is able to resist. I’m also proud of the decision she made at the end of this book, she won’t settle for the bare minimum and she won’t make compromises on what she believes she deserves. I think my next nonsense read will be the next book in this series, but next week I’ll be reviewing something with more substance.
