Book Review of Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Book Review: (SPOILER FREE)
Title & Author- Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Genre- Young Adult, Teen Fiction, Paranormal, Romance
Rating- 4/5

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."
*** I'm gonna stop the synopsis at that because it goes into the spoilers of the book!***

Review- Don't read the whole synopsis of this book- who ever wrote it decided to throw in some spoilers!  The romance was nice, the story was good.  I thought it was awesome of Armentrout to included the few chapters from Daemon's point of view at the end of the book.  Instead of trying to squeeze them into the actual story, she didn't throw the reader of track.  I can't really pin the exact reason of why I didn't give this story a full five star rating.  Maybe it was because my expectations were so high and the story didn't quite reach them. It was still very enjoyable and I did continue on to read the second book in the series.
