Waiting on Wednesday: Obsidian

 
Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by the awesome Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating!

This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is: 

Obsidian by 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.

Release Date: December 6, 2011

I don't know about you, but that synopsis just makes me SO excited to read this book! We've read about vamps and weres and witches and fey... but ALIENS? Heck yes! :)

Plus, it's written by the ever-amazing author of Half-Blood, Jennifer L. Armentrout! After loving her first book, I have to say that it only makes me doubly excited for this one!

WHAT BOOK ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

  1. Yeah, it does sounds great...but also very familiar! I'm hoping it's just not one of those books that is a total let down. ;(

  3. I've read Armentrout's fae and vampires - aliens could be very fun. I have high hopes for this book too, it looks so different from what she usually does. :)

  8. YA needs more aliens, so this sounds awesome. I'm a little surprised to see the spelling of the main male character's name. It automatically made me think this was a book about demons, but then again, maybe I've read too much Greek mythology.
