Jennifer L Armentrout Addicts Anonymous discussion

Book 1 in the Lux Series

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.

So did everyone know Jennifer wrote this in like 8 days or something like that? I think that is amazing.
I genuinely adore this book and for her to write the whole thing in such a short period of time. Wow!

Just bought it and starting it today, finally ;-)

Yay! Nic you will not be disappointed

So i am about half way through and I reallyyy like it. I am surprised because im not really into the "alien" thing.

OMG LOVED it!

Love all the lingo, too cool!

So glad you guys love. I like this series even more than the Covenent series and I can't wait for Onyx

I can't decide which series I like more.. I think after reading book 2 of each, I can make a better decision. I finished Obsidian last night and I am DYING for Onyx to come out.. so good.

I know it was awesome, I spent yesterday and last night stalking JLA bc I loved it so much, I just had to go through the quotes as well....

my fav I think is (view spoiler)[“My palms itched to have a close encounter of the bitch-slap kind with his face.” (hide spoiler)]

This was my first JLA book but I will definitely be reading more.

I was a little hesitant too Cassandra because of the alien angle but I ended up loving it!

Arrghh why doesn't KOBO.com sell this book?

the bookdepository has it in paperback :P

I know but I want the new cover, and it isnt for sale yet!

It's coming out April 10th

Okay I just bought the kindle ebook and converted it too Kobo! Tnx Calibre!

I just bought it and I am loving this book! I seriously wish I had more time to read. lol. Thanks for introducing this Author to us Kay. I think I have another fave.

Yay. I am so excited that you guys love it =)
She is without a doubt my favourite author

I finished this today after starting it last night. My first ever alien novel and I doubt I could praise this up high enough to folk. I'm actually feeling pretty awed by the authors storytelling ability to the point of inadequacy. Most definitely, Jennifer is an author to keep an eye on.

I know how you feel, J.A. I love her writing style. I can't wait to finish this.

Stay off Daemon, he is mine ;)

Sure, sure, Kay. You'd probably win him anyway, seeing as he finds book blogging cute. ;o)

Awww Kay, can we share him???

I finished the book quickly as well.. I just couldn't put it down. Onyx needs to come out NOW. I am curious to find out what Onyx has to do with the book though... Obsidian was explained but this seems odd.

EXACTLY! *sigh* if only there was a real Daemon

I'm sure there is, Kay. Somewhere in the universe...in a galaxy far, far away. Sorry, couldn't help it. haha.

Damn can't I find him? LOL

Sure you can, Kay. You just need to move to the right town ... in the right country ... I hear Alaska has a lot of alien visitors. ;o)

LOL Yea, I totally wanna date an Alien lol

Yeah, I've heard the same thing. I swear, my husband started watching some show about gold mining in the bearing(sp?) sea and the guys on there were definately from another planet!

Be careful what you wish for, Kay. You just might get it.

I think the people who go out in Sunderland are from another planet. God were all the crazies out on Monday haha

So I had to look that up. Note to self: No going out in Sunderland on a Monday!

Haha Christie, my father watches the same show (he loves NatGeo, History, etc.) and I was thinking the SAME thing.

Lol. It was madness. I got hit on by a man older than my grandad. So yea, the crazies were out LOL

Ha! Yeah, I always used to get hit on by the gramps of the bars. So irritating.

I noticed JLA has joined the group, right?

You know what they say about great minds, Cassandra?

Kay: What!? Somebody hit you? Was it on purpose?

Hit ON, Christie. LOL hehehehehe

No no Hit ON it means chatted up. Do people in america not say that?
Yea Julie, I always attract the weirdos but both of my friends got hit on by weirdos as well so I wasn't alone.
Yes she has, I got super excited.

It's kind of hard being around the groups when you know folk in them are discussing your books. Good job everyone in here seems to love her stuff (though, seriously, what's not to love?).

LOL. I read it wrong! That happens in more than just Sunderland, I'm afraid.

exactly Julie, I have yet to meet one person who doesn't love her books.

LOL Christie, I got confused. Yea but he was older than my grandpa and smelt of pee. I was like ewww, I ran for a different table as fast as I could.

Hahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, there's always one who smells bad and is a crud.

I know it was disgusting. We had a good laugh about it like hahaha

Hehehehe, best thing to do. :o)

It wasn't as bad as my friend's he followed her from one place to another. That's more creepy.

Just Eww. Why is it old men think it's okay to be gross? I've had my fair share of those and the only thing you can really do is get away as fast as you can.

Well we definitely did that LOL

So Kay, I'm just curious. Which book of Jennifer's is your favorite?

At least with the oldies, you're guaranteed to be able to run faster. *snort*

Too true, Julie!

I love Obsidian! I am very impressed with Jennifer's writing, and in only eight days.... that's not human.
