Onyx by Jennifer L. Armentrout

5.0

"Words are the most powerful tool. Simple and so often underestimated. They could heal. They could destroy."

Destroy, exactly. I can't even think about words to express how in love i am with this series! It's only the second book but i'm already so attached to the characters, to Daemon. And I'm hooked. Like really, really hooked!

Still, I have to say that I was a tiny little bit annoyed by Katy - not all the time but she had her moments where I just wanted to punch her!
SpoilerLike, the whole connection thing! And that she always kept secrets from Daemon and didn't trust him.


Daemon was godlike as usual! I loved him even more and especially his sweet side was GORGEOUS! Can i please have my own Daemon Black?!
SpoilerOh god, when he brought Katy her favorite things to school and the rose and how he just tried to show her that his feelings are REAL and not that stupid connection! GOD, KATY YOU'RE FRUSTRATING!


I kind of really missed Dee in this book ... her friendship with Katy seemed always so important and then there was just nothing - i wanted more scenes between those 2 but i know and understand why Katy couldn't spend time with her. And THAT brings us to the next part - Blake Saunders!

I can't write anything without some spoilers, so here we go:
SpoilerRight from the beginning I had a bad feeling about him ... he seemed too "normal" and nice and I always suspected him to work with/for the DOD! AND I WAS RIGHT! At some points I was as confused as Katy ... he really seemed to want to help her and train with her but then he did all those stupid things - throw a knife at her, let her fight against an Arum? SERIOUSLY, BLAKE?! I didn't trust him and I don't know what to think about the fact that he's still alive, ugh.


We NEED to talk about the ending! THERE WAS SOME SERIOUS SHIT GOING ON!
SpoilerFirst of all: NOOOO WHY ADAM?!?! The scene was ... ugh no, i can't. I never liked Ash but when she saw her dead brother and the sound she made, nope that was too much. I really liked Adam! Not just because of/with Dee but he was the only one of his family that was nice to Katy. WHY ALWAYS THE GOOD AND NICE ONE?! :(

But let's move on to Will! YOU PIECE OF SHIT! (I'm sorry for my language but UGH I'm angry!) He used Katy's Mom to keep an eye on her and then he locked her up in that cage with ONYX and i felt so bad! To read about Katy's pain and that she couldn't do anything about her situation was so frustrating and terrible.

And Dawson? Man, i don't even know what's going on! The minute Dee stepped out of her house, happy and smiling, i KNEW that Dawson is back! But i'm so confused! Why wasn't he happy about seeing Daemon? Maybe he saw Katy and knew what was going on between them? Maybe something bad happened to Beth? Or he just changed and ... can't/doesn't want to feel anything? I don't know!


"'I love you.'
His eyes darkened a second before he kissed me until I was ready to say screw the whole doing-it-right-by-me thing.
'That's all i ever need to hear.'"


Well and the most important part - Daemon and Katy! I LOVED everything! The way he tried to win her heart and how she slowly noticed that she's falling (already fell!) for him ... the last scenes in his room - it was all so cute and about time! Oh and can I just say i also love the little bonus chapter in Daemon's POV! They are amazing!

"I held her tight, and I knew right then I would burn down the whole universe for her if I had to."
