Description
Discover the New York Times bestselling series from 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.

5By ???.?...@..?I loved can’t wait to read the next book!Less than 1 star actually
1By AlY297Absolutely disgusting, I wish white authors would stop basing their lore around indigenous culture. Also it is literally just twilight but with aliens and less personality. The “feminist” writing felt AI generated. Like an alien who came down to earth and learned about feminism from watching how dogs acted in a dog park. 10/10Obsessed!
5By alex3634In High school I read this book and had no idea there was a whole series!!!! As a full grown adult I made the responsible decision to buy all of them!!! 😍🖤 Obsession is an understatement!GET IT!
5By LoLoLemonDropOh my gosh I couldn’t put the book down and finished it within two days. I love how strong Kat is and how Daemon can’t stay away! It’s the best book I’ve read in a long time. I brought the second book the moment I finished the first and I’m sure I will reread this series over and over again.It was ok
3By nameforbookreviewTeen Novel , not as steaming as Jennifer’s other books are , back and forth quips and comebacks between the main couple, some teenage bullying and tug of war dialogue gets old quick but somewhat to be expected for angsty teenage love background -Loved
5By skyejoellee🥰🥰Not my favorite.
2By LauandrealightsI read this books because everyone was raving about Daemon, but I just.. I just don’t like the whole theme. I can’t deal with this on and off thing between them. I don’t see a solution and, honestly, after reading the Blood and Ash series this one feels like a step down…Really good
5By shmexybutterThis book was really good- like I was looking for something with romance but not dumb cheesy cute but actual stuff... side point: this book is literally twilight but with aliens... but I’m not complaining I mean I love twilight heheLoved it!!!
5By Chanchan15So good. Literally couldn’t put it down.In love
5By 🥶🖤I found this book on the app “choices” I fell in love with it once I started reading it! I couldn’t put my phone down until I was finished with it. I can't wait to found out how it all endsAmazing
5By paojrgI read this book years ago and It is still my favorite re-reads it is that book. I have not much to say other than it’s great it was so nerve-racking and I kept me on the edge of my seat for sure I recommend to anyone.amazing
5By ajannehi like this book because its way different from any book i’ve ever read, i love the characters. i cant wait to read the next bookSo Annoying
2By The Reader Named ZyKaty is so annoying. She cusses, but can’t catch on to Daemon liking her? She’s immature but also smart? It’s not enjoyable at all because of how stupid the main female character is. I’m really getting tired of these books with docile females that act so clueless. The whole “whoa it’s me” act she has, even until the end, is just miserable and pitiful. She is constantly pushing him away and then playing the victim. Smh sick of it.Definitely worth the read!! 10/10
5By jeyyliiThis book is so freaking good. It has so much depth it’s not rainbows and butterflies I love that throughout the books you can see the characters develop themselves. Especially Dee all I could think was wow this is no longer first book Dee, as I kept reading I fell in love with daemon sorry if I misspelled by the way, I’ll dream of you even though you love Katy insert sad face, I love these books finished the serious I’m a week yeay covid jkTeen Romance with an Alien twist
5By JulesakikoRecommend: Yes A hot alien boy tries his hardest to not fall for the human girl next door, but he finds out that it’s harder than it seems.I Can’t Believe I Never Saw This Sooner
5By ReggyCupcakeThis book SUCKED me in. It wasn’t your normal “vampire next door” ridiculous teen romance novel. The character development in this is phenomenal. You see how the characters change and morph each other into almost completely different people. It shows how someone can alter the course of your future and bring out sides of you that you didn’t know existed. Someone hard and withdrawn isn’t always who you think they are. Someone who has experienced trauma or death isn’t the same as others and its a touching example of how you can connect with someone who has experienced sadness or loss like you have. The supernatural aspect of it is alluring, yes, but its Daemon and Katy that make the book what it is. Katy’s character is so much more different than “normal” teen supernatural novels. She’s snarky, honest, kind and even vulgar at times. She has a voice. She isn’t a damsel in distress. Shes strong minded and willful and i admire the author for allowing her to blossom as the main character should. Daemon is troubled and lost and so overcome with the stress of being the protector that he cannot be himself. *spoiler* When he let Katy in about Dawson and shared with her things that he probably hadn’t talked about with anyone, at least for a while, we as readers can all relate to that. He needed someone to talk to. We can’t all be strong all the time. Sometimes its easier to talk with someone who is more of a stranger than someone we are really close to. In closing, the author did a wonderful job with this book. Im going to buy the second one immediately. Ive played both on Chapters but when I found there were more books in the series I needed to read them all. Off to Onyx!Obsidian
5By Madison WahlmeierI love this book I’ve never liked reading before and when I found this book I fell in love with it honestly I just want to sit around and read it over and over againReminds me of Roswell
4By Yvette Br.This book was really good! Now i know what all the hype is about. Very original. It reminds me of the show Roswell, which i LOVED, so naturally i devoured this book. Can't wait to read more. :)Obsidian- 100% Enthralling
