Waiting On Wednesday #13: Onyx and Cursed by Jennifer L. Armentrout


"Waiting On Wednesday" is a weekly meme hosted by  


This is were we get to 'spotlight' books that we are anxiously waiting to be released! The ones that we are dying to get our hands on and read into the wee hours of the night and make our shelves look all pretty :)



A Lux Novel - Book 2
by Jennifer L. Armentrout 
Release Date: August 14th, 2012 

SUMMARY 
(from Goodreads) 

"Being connected to Daemon Black sucks…

Daemon’s determined to prove what he feels for me is more than a product of our bizarre connection. I’ve sworn him off even though he’s running more hot than cold these days. But against all common sense, I’m falling for him. Hard.

Our relationship issues aren’t out biggest problem…

The Department of Defense is here. If they ever find out what Daemon can do and that we’re linked, I’m a goner. So is he. And when a new boy shows up a school with a secret of his own, things get complicated fast. I need to choose between my own instincts and Daemon’s.

But then everything changes…

I’ve seen someone who shouldn’t be alive. Daemon’s never going to stop searching until gets the truth. What happened to his brother? Who betrayed him? And what does the DOD want from them—from me?

No one is who they seem. And not everyone will survive the lies."

MY THOUGHTS

I read Obsidian TWICE last month! First on my Nook and then I read the new paperback too :)
... and of course, I couldn't stop myself from reading the first chapter of Onyx, sigh... I need to know more!... you can see my review of Obsidian here!

I. need. this. book!


Cursed
by Jennifer L. Armentrout 
Release Date: September 18th, 2012

SUMMARY
(from Goodreads)

"Dying sucks--and high school senior Ember McWilliams knows firsthand. After a fatal car accident, her gifted little sister brought her back. Now anything Ember touches dies. And that, well, really blows.

Ember operates on a no-touch policy with all living things--including boys. When Hayden Cromwell shows up, quoting Oscar Wilde and claiming her curse is a gift, she thinks he’s a crazed cutie. But when he tells her he can help control it, she’s more than interested. There’s just one catch: Ember has to trust Hayden's adopted father, a man she's sure has sinister reasons for collecting children whose abilities even weird her out. However, she’s willing to do anything to hold her sister's hand again. And hell, she'd also like to be able to kiss Hayden. Who wouldn't?

But when Ember learns the accident that turned her into a freak may not've been an accident at all, she’s not sure who to trust. Someone wanted her dead, and the closer she gets to the truth, the closer she is to losing not only her heart, but her life. 
For real this time."


MY THOUGHTS

Everything that she touches dies! I'm afraid to find out how Ember discovers her new ability!
(And, I just adore the name Hayden for a guy.)
Is her ability a gift? a curse? Can't wait to find out :)

What are you waiting for this week???
