And I still have to read Obsidian... I know. I'm either the Queen of Procrastination or there's something pulling me back from reading it.. <br />Excellent review Rachel!

Maybe? The buzz around this series in general is just incredible, and Daemon sounds really snarky, which I always love. I'll have to be buying a copy of this one ASAP, since it seems like you almost died over this one Rachel! ;)<br /><br />Fantastic review. <3Aneeqahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13352395407424623520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-61047115351868404222013-01-07T21:05:57.923+00:002013-01-07T21:05:57.923+00:00Rachel, I absolutely agree!

I definitely think this was more Daemon's book - the one where he shone - more than the other two, simply because he finally had Katy now and kept continuously proving that he deserved her. I just adored their relationship and in this one and JLA was so clever to make the entire novel a giant foreshadowing of the ending. Gosh, I just need Origin...NOW! Wonderful review, dear! :)Keertanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01071392026876644282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-84170604689487149972013-01-07T17:16:28.858+00:002013-01-07T17:16:28.858+00:00I've never seen you use caps this much in a re...I've never seen you use caps this much in a review.

I think, for the purposes of my sanity, I need to wait until the next book is out before I get caught up with Daemon and Katy.

I think it really sets the tone and plot for the next book and I had a feeling something crazy like that was going to be the end. Idk maybe I've just finally come to terms with it haha!

I'm glad JLA continued with that trend through the two novels XD Oh my GAWSH, that ending! I just sat in bed and cried, because I'm a pathetic loser. I don't think it was unnecessary, purely because it made me feel so many emotions!

Also, so happy to hear that Daemon is sweeter but still has his snarky side. That's the perfect combination! ;) I've heard about the cliffhanger in this one, so I'm a little wary of whether I want to start it or if I should just wait for Origin! <br />Lovely review, Rachel! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-87447234509301296752013-01-07T10:07:57.711+00:002013-01-07T10:07:57.711+00:00I've heard that JLA's cliffhangers are the...I've heard that JLA's cliffhangers are the worst!

Oh god, Daemon. He's honestly one of the baddest, hottest, snarkiest book hotties out there and I can't wait to meet him again. <3 By your review, he seems exactly the same guy we all fell in love with in the first two books. :') Ohnononononononononono! ANOTHER cliffhanger? Shit! I mean, I'm still going to read Opal, obviously, but I'm going to take my own sweet time... trying to stay away from the ending as long as humanly possible. ;) Lovely review, Rachel and thanks so much for the giveaway guys! :DThe Teen Book Guruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16151732420326551011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-37004021192617076732013-01-07T07:50:46.980+00:002013-01-07T07:50:46.980+00:00First of all, thank you for the giveaway and thank...First of all, thank you for the giveaway and thank you for making it international. <br />Second, everyone cries over the ending and I am kind of scared to start Opal. I know that every time I read something by JLA I just can't get into any other books too soon. <br />I am afraid that I might fall into a deep depression... LOL<br />Anyway, thank you for the giveaway I am still eager to read it. (^_^)Michikithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16915303724260511906noreply@blogger.com
