Re starring ma shelves
changed to 4*
Why???
Because when I've looked though my read pile I just shove a 5* on everything.
**Note to self.....Even though you love a book you don't have to give it a 5 **
Face palm !

This one my first (of now many) YA books I loved this series, but this one will hold a special place in my heart for the introduction of other fantastic books.
I was quite worried about re reading this as this was my first YA book that I read a couple of years ago and it holds quite a nice little place in my heart, however I was not disappointed phew !
16 yr old Miranda gives us a blow by blow account of her life from her diary, and what a life it is.
The strange thing is I’m sure this could happen, I mean REALLY happen, and that is what scares me, I’ve read some reviews that are shouting about the size of the meteor and the trajectory of it etc. but it’s a book, a fiction book but I mean it could happen !
So after watching a meteor hit the moon in a ‘Sky at Night ‘ kind of thing that everyone was going outside to watch, there were parties and picnics - however when it hits IT HITS !!!!!
The moon gets moved off its axis and comes a little bit closer to earth as the scientists did not really do their math correctly and didn’t realise the size of the meteor, (as I said it’s fiction obviously if the moon was going to be hit by a meteor I would hope that scientists would be able to tell the size of the thing!)
Anyway the moon controls our tides and this right? So after the now massive moon is hit the world starts going all weird, like tidal waves and tsunamis, volcanoes and earthquakes, you know the usual Saturday night in Merthyr !
Soo most of the world seems to be wiped out BUT because you are only reading Mirandas diary you are kept in the dark about what is going on elsewhere in the world, and you feel the suffocation as her world slowly gets smaller and smaller until they are all living in 1 room sharing 1 tin of soup between 4 people.
The starving is this one thing that gets to you, I felt really guilty while I was reading this for even drinking a cup of tea !
I will be reading the rest of the series again and the new book is out this year as well so I hope that it continues from Mirandas point of view.
I would thoroughly recommend reading this book – its fab.

AH HELL NO NOT AGAIN ARGHHHHH!!!
I need to get my hands on the next book this series is AMAZING!
Loved Ruby
Loved Liam
Loved Chubbs
Loved Via she was kickass
Loved loved LOVED Jude he was just so cute.
This was nearly dare I say it better than the 1st book and that is a difficult thing to do in book series.
(I think I may become a secret stalker of Miss Bracken in case she accidently drops a copy of the 3rd book in her wheelie bin )
***goes off to find her binmans outfit*** ho hum roll on December

So I was very excited when this little book got into my sweaty palms!
Loved the 1st and 2nd books and was anxious to see what happened to Kira and Sam and if they could help fix the world.
Hmm..... where shall I start......I'm gutted !
It wasn't terrible but it wasn't brilliant either it was just so so, everything seemed like it was crammed into the book and there was a LOT to cram in.
The book jumped back and forth to each character and it didn't make sense a lot of the time, I found myself rewinding to find out where I was.
There were a few new characters who I loved Green for one was lovely,and the blood man was just plain weird, and some strange shit was going on as well, I did actually say ewww at one point.......(much to the delight of my BR partner who was waiting for me to get to that part lol)
And what the hell was that monster thing?!? I mean I know who it is but WTF !!!!!
Kira was as heroic as usual and my hero Heron was as cool as a cucumber as per usual (my fave character of the trilogy by far)
The Kira-Marcus-Sam thing seemed to be stretched as far as it could go and by the end I didn’t really care who she ended up with.
All in all ...... it was ok.
NB. I don't really have sweaty palms. .........just in case you were wondering!!

So this definitely needs to be read after [b:Obsidian|12578077|Obsidian (Lux, #1)|Jennifer L. Armentrout|http://images.gr-assets.com/books/1328275091s/12578077.jpg|17588854] to make any sense otherwise all of the phrases and words will have you scratching your head.
This is the story about Dawson and Bethany and their struggles.
It also explains a lot about why Daemon is a bit of a douchebag to Katie in Obsidian.
I enjoyed reading the sub story and why the characters are the way they are.
No spoilers here but if you have read [b:Obsidian|12578077|Obsidian (Lux, #1)|Jennifer L. Armentrout|http://images.gr-assets.com/books/1328275091s/12578077.jpg|17588854] then you will already know about this little heart breaker of a book.
Dawson is as Swoontastic as his brother and the narration is great, another highly recommend read from Jennifer Armentrout.

Hold your ears a moment please ARGHHHHH, SQUEEEELLLLLL, WHAAAAATTTT, GUSSSHHHHH!
Sorry about that.....where was I?
Well excuse me while I just finish my tub of ice cream .......and cookies......and chips....and chocolate!
**Wipes chin
This series is turning into one of my favourites, I have read 1 other Jennifer Armentrout before this series and loved it, I must seek out more!
DAEMON IS BACK ....Swoontastic ***fans herself down***
So Katy is a half-blood half-breed mutant ninja alien kickass diva, and I LOVE IT.
The D.O.D are back with a vengeance and are trying to hunt the Luxen down.
Oh yeah and Dawson is BACK ..SQUEEEELLLLLL. ..sorry!
A few more dodgy characters are introduced and really get the story going.
Katy and Daemons sexual tension is still fan worthy and Damon is still swoonsome. ...hang on have I already said that??
I laughed out loud at loads of things in this book and I still love the fact that Katy is still a book nerd, she lives to read and review, and even has book boyfriends, I ♡ her.
There are stories within stories in this thriller of a ride, this is not a 'must get out a crappy 2nd book so that I complete a trilogy' type of book, it's a cracker of a read.
Jump on the Daemon Black train with me and enjoy the ride............but get behind the rest of the queue beeatch!

With the sun setting outside, I wrote a quick review for Monday and then a longer one for Tuesday. The longer one was because I couldn’t stop gushing. I think I had a new book boyfriend and his name was Tod. Yumtastic!Haha!

Hang on a minute guys, I'm just on the phone to Audible, I'll be with you in a minute.
"Hello, yes I want to speak to a manager about your awful services! "
"I'll tell you EXACTLY what is wrong Sylvia, I've been listening to a brilliant book called Opal"
"Yes it is good...but"
"Yes I am in love with Daemon Black....but"
""Haha! Yes he is swoonsome and Yumtastic..**.cough cough ANYWAY"
"I'm calling to complain about the fact that I was quite happily listening to it, it got to a brilliant bit about Katy and Daemon breaking in to the D.O.D and the climax about when he was going to rescue her, and they were going to run away into the sunset and live happily ever after, and then it stopped!"
"Yes I know I'm babbling"
""I'm sorry, Yes I've stopped crying now"
"Anyway I want my money back as I've obviously downloaded a dodgy copy. ....sniff"
SILENCE
"What?"
"What?"
"WHAT???????"
"What do you mean, a cliffhanger? ??"
"Really, a cliffhanger??"
"But.....but...but it can't end like that!"
"I know, but...."
"Yes I understand"
"No I won't call you again at 4 o'clock in the morning"
"Yes I am sorry for using your personal cell number"
"Yes I'm ok now, thanks Sylvia"
"No honestly, I don't need to go to the hospital, I just need icecream, lots of icecream"
"I'm sorry what??"
"There's another book.......... Origin???"
"No I'm ok, I just fell off the bed!"
"Anyway I've got to go......I've got aliens to catch up with"
"Yes I will speak to a doctor! Thanks Sylvia, Goodbye"

Actual rating 3.5 ☆
(1/2 a ☆ deducted for the crooked smile grrr)
Ok so 1st I would like to thank some of my GR buddy's for helping me loose my m/m virginity with this book, I was kinda worried about popping my gay cherry I must say :D
I really enjoyed it, I was slightly worried about the graphic stuff, if you know what I mean, and it was graphic. .......very graphic haha but it was also kinda hot!
So there is a serial killer on the loose and there is only 2 guys that can do the job......Enter Ty and Zane.
I loved these guys, they hate each other at first and the sparks between them fly.
They go from literally beating the crap out of each other, to having hot sex, what more can you want in a book. .......
Now the plot, it was good, but I had worked the killer out quite early on in the book, and I understand that the main subject was the relationship and the journey to get there, but it needed a bit more grit for me.
I was really hoping the killer was going to be someone else, and I had got it wrong, as I wanted that Oh My God moment, but even though I knew who it was I still enjoyed the ride.
I will definitely read the others in the series as most reviews say that the stories get better.
