{JLA Tour & Giveaway} The Great Gob of Jennifer Giveaway

Jennifer L. Armentrout!

  Thanks to Dani at Refracted Light for the wonderful graphics!

Yes, this is who we are dedicating this post to today at Better Read Than Dead! 

I'm not sure another author has kicked up the kind of waves Jennifer has in quite sometime. She's genre busting and not missing a beat. She writes YA fiction under the name of Jennifer L. Armentrout and dabbles in Adult Fiction/Romance under the guise of J. Lynn. To date, I've read every single book she's published, and maybe a couple that haven't hit the shelves yet...just sayin'.

The Covenant Series:

Daimon (0.5)

Half-Blood (1) - Review by Kristin A

Pure (2) - Review by Kristin A

Deity (3) - November 27, 2012 - Review Coming Soon

Apollyon (4) - Spring 2013

Sentinal (5) - Fall 2013

Now...I've had the pleasure of reading through Deity on this series and all I'm going to say is... 

Holy Hematoi!!! 

I think Jennifer is taking lessons from Cassandra Clare on how to leave an audience hanging...I mean seriously! WTH? You have got to be kidding me! OMG! Can Spring 2013 please, please, please hurry. It's very important for my mental health. And I'm obscenely worried about the girls at Starbooks, the best book club, and friends, a girl can ever have. Poor Mariam is going stark-raving mad. I swear I heard my copy of Deity hit her bedroom wall when she finished reading it and we live several states apart. I'm waiting to hear Kim's head explode and then...I'm not sure who's next. And, Kelly...well, you'll just have to wait.

Don't even get me started on the Aiden vs. Seth debate...

{A Kelly M. Review} Onyx by Jennifer L Armentrout

Title: Onyx
Series: Lux #2
Author: Jennifer L Armentrout
Genre: YA Paranormal
Publisher: Entangled Teen

Synopsis:

Being connected to Daemon Black sucks…

Thanks to his alien mojo, Daemon’s determined to prove what he feels for me is more than a product of our bizarro connection. So I’ve sworn him off, even though he’s running more hot than cold these days. But we’ve got bigger problems.

Something worse than the Arum has come to town…

The Department of Defense are here. If they ever find out what Daemon can do and that we're linked, I’m a goner. So is he. And there's this new boy in school who’s got a secret of his own. He knows what’s happened to me and he can help, but to do so, I have to lie to Daemon and stay away from him. Like that's possible. Against all common sense, I'm falling for Daemon. Hard.

But then everything changes…

I’ve seen someone who shouldn’t be alive. And I have to tell Daemon, even though I know he’s never going to stop searching until he 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…

Onyx...what can I say about this book. Well I kinda shouted at Jennifer L Armentrout on Twitter that she was insane because of what she did to me. Her reply to me was the classic O_O. Even Wendy Higgins, author of Sweet Evil, took time out of her busy day to give me a Twitter tissue! It’s not a cliff-hanger per se, it was more of an REALLY??? After all that you put me through in this book you end the story like that? Apparently out of all of my Starbooks friends I had the worst reaction! Except for Kim she reacted the same way!

Other than the ending the entire story was better than I could hope for! Those of you who did not like Daemon in Obsidian (I know they do exist! I was so shocked), do not fear! You will see a completely different side to this sexy, chocolate-melting-in-mouth, delicious, dangerous, and awesome alien. I decided to stop there because there are just SO many words to describe the perfectness that is Daemon! He turns out to be more swoon-worthy in Onyx and I didn’t even think it was possible.

Daemon tries throughout most of the book to prove to Katy that what he feels for her is real and not due to the connection they now have. And Katy, being her normal stubborn self, refuses to believe that it’s true because of how he treated her before. I get where she is coming from but because of the fact that it is Daemon, I just wanted to smack her upside the head and shake her at the same time whilst screaming in her face: “JUST ADMIT YOU LOVE HIM”. Except for my frustration with her, I realised how deeply I have missed this girl. She is one of the MOST awesome female leads ever. She makes me laugh every second when reading.

Now on to the mysterious guy Blake, that comes in rather unexpectedly. He automatically takes a liking to Katy and like Daemon, I then take an immediate disliking to this dude. I mean honestly just go away, no one likes you! And then Katy starts hanging out with him to ‘prove’ to herself that she does not really love Daemon, sigh.

Even throughout all the romancy angst there is also the problems of the alien variety and that was just so amazing! JLA shocked me so much during this book that I lost sense of direction. I never expected anything except only ONE thing and I was glad that it turned out to be true.

All in all this is honestly JLA’s best book ever! She has really outdone herself and if you do not read this book within the next 24hours you will regret it!

Title: Onyx

Series: Lux #2

Author: Jennifer L Armentrout

Synopsis:

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?

Where I've Been and #DaemonInvasion

Sorry if it seems like I've been hiding or lost lately. This is mostly because...well, I was hiding. Quite honestly, I'm freaking exhausted from the #DivergentNation promotion and needed a little time off from my blogging duties, but never fear, I'm back with a vengeance. We've got another, although less stressful, promotion heading our way.

Yes, Better Read Than Dead is heading up a #DaemonInvasion Street Team. We are calling ourselves #DaemonsDreamers and we couldn't be happier to be helping Jennifer L. Armentrout re-enter the smoking hot Daemon Black to the world! Obsidian will re-release on May 15, 2012 and Obsidian will release in August. If you've not started reading this funny and spine-tingling series, you should do so as soon as possible. 'Cause once you see Daemon Black, you can never go back.

My team is made up of myself and 8 other lovely ladies and we are #DaemonsDreamers.

Lora - Read for Your Future

Jeannette - Walking on Bookshelves

Maria - Maria_Eli_Orchid

Courtney - Courtney's Book Nook

Stephanie - A Dream Within a Dream

{#DaemonInvasion} Official Street Team for The Lux Series by Jennifer Armentrout

Over the last couple of weeks, you’ve heard us talking about the upcoming #daemoninvasion and we’re so excited to finally share with you what is going on.

Really excited.

The beautiful and uber cool models, Pepe Toth and Sztella Tziotziosz, who grace the Lux covers, will be joining us in the United States! You heard right. They are flying here, from Hungary to spend a few days as Daemon and Katy! While they are here, they will be working with Vania, from VLC Productions (the team behind Cassandra Clare’s The Mortal Instruments, Melissa de La Cruz, Kimberly Derting, Moira Young, Kami Garcia and Margret Stohl, Hillary Duff, Lauren Destefano, and many, many more authors’ book trailers), to film book trailers for the Lux Series.

During the filming in Atlanta, they will be accompanying us on tour! What does that mean? You get to meet them. In the flesh. They will be participating in the signings and events. At those signings, we’ll be giving away signed posters, photos, and other swag. There will also be meet and greet events you can join in on. 

At each signing, there will be advanced copies of Onyx given away!

And to top things off (as if this isn’t enough, but we don’t do anything small), there’s something very, very exciting in the works! It involves advanced copies of Opal, water, and a little destination known as the Bahamas. 

I am not kidding. 

This will be epic. 

Aare you excited? I am! This tour is going to be so, so much fun, and I’m so thrilled that Pepe and Sztella are a part of it. We owe them a huge thank you and a giant welcome making the 16 hour flight to meet the readers of the Lux Series. You!
