“I have a strange idea that I should test this out.”
“Test what?” My eyes dropped to his lips. I felt myself sway.
“I think you would like to know.” He moved closer, his hand sliding up my arm and resting carefully at the nape of my neck.

Well, now I know why this series is so popular :)
It took me one scene, meeting Daemon, to completely fall in love with him/the book. And it just got better and better! I literally couldn't stop reading and ended up finishing it in the same day I started.
Well that says a lot :))
-Here's something you need to know about the STORY-

Katy and her mom move to Vest Virginia after her father's death, and she meets her gorgeous, irritatingly rude neighbor Daemon.

The tension between them is incredible, but with Daemon acting like a jerk, they end up fighting most of the time, and the other times are just swoony as hell!!!!

Since Daemon behaves terribly toward Katy, and his sister Dee forces him to be nicer to her, which leads to some very very nice scenes like car-washing, swimming in the lake, the swing scene (*sigh*), the kitchen scene and well basically every scene where Daemon and Katy are together (and there are a LOT of those)

One night Daemon saves Katy from a terrible accident and she realises he's not what he seems, he is in fact - an alien!

The laptop scene... No comment to that, you just have to read it ;)

The ending was awesome, action packed, but also emotional and sweet. And funny. Well it was everything!!!
-The romance-

*sigh*
Well, first thing you need to know is that with Daemon, hearing something romantic come out of his mouth is practically impossible, even though he had his wonderful moments which I treasured because they were rare :D
But it was all still there, even though he behaves like a jerk to her, he's still protective, and man, that made some amazingly swoony scenes in here <3
And even though I've said it before, every scene with those two was amazing, it was full of tension and butterflies <3
Can't wait to see how their relationship moves forward with each book :)
-Daemon-

He's the overprotective brother, trying to prevent Dee (the sister) from forming a friendship with Katy, the new neighbor.
He's kind of hot and cold toward her, one moment flirting, the next insulting, probably because he's intrigued by her, but at the same time, he knows what humans can do to him and his family :(
As he reveals himself to Katy, he knows he has to keep her safe from his enemies, and they have to spend a lot of time together (ehehehehe).
Well, for me, Daemon was insta-love. I loved every scene with him, when he was a jerk, when he was swoony and protective, and yeah, even him being so incredibly full of himself :DDD
My favorite scene with him was when they were at the lake and she hugged him <3 I don't know why, but he just seemed so vulnerable there, maybe because he's so tough throughout the book, I don't know.
Anyway, love love love him!!!
-Katy-

She's a book review blogger, pretty much an ordinary girl, whose life changes completely once her dad dies and she moves to West Virginia with her mom.
She becomes friends with her neighbor Dee, but frenemies with Dee's brother Daemon, who tries to push her away from his family, but at the same time flirts like hell with her :D
As time goes by, it gets tough for her to fight the attraction, especially because Daemon feels it too, and on top of all that, he has too look after Katy in case his enemies target her.
For a heroine, she's pretty great :) She gives as good as she gets, and it was so fun to watch the bickering and fighting all the time :)
She is brave, and I have to say, I am very very happy with how she deals with the enemies! It surprised me, and I guess that's why I love that fact even more :)
The end fight was awesome even though I can't say I understand everything that happened, but I think I'm not supposed to (aka it will probably be explained in the next book).
-Overall feelings about the book-

The pic says it all :DD
I devoured this book! I loved every single scene between the MCs, and the good thing is, the book is full of those!!! Honestly, I just can't think of anything that bothered me here or that I didn't like. Anything!
Maybe this is just the new fangirl me talking, but I don't know, this book definitely deserves 5 stars from me, and it's going into my bestest of the best shelf :))))
PS: V... I love you woman! I would've never picked this up if it weren't for you. Yes you told me so, but I just have to say THANK YOU!!! <3
PPS: This should be made into a movie.

"When I looked up, I found it hard to concentrate when his eyes were as bright as they were.
"Okay? Happy?"
Something flickered over his face. Anger? Regret?
"Not really. Not at all."
I.
Love.
Him!"

"“Why…why do you hate me so much?”
For a brief second, the mask cracked and pain contorted his features. It was so quick, I couldn’t be sure I’d actually seen it. He didn’t answer.
The tears building in my eyes were about to spill down my cheeks...
OMG! Angst!!! Angst!!!!!!

Moving unbelievably fast, I was on my back and he was above me in a flash. “Are you asking if I’m attracted to human girls?” he asked. Dark, wet waves of hair fell forward. Tiny droplets of water fell off the ends, splashing against my cheek. “Or are you asking if I’m attracted to YOU?”

"Not thinking,I turned and reached over,wrapping my arms around his all too stiff body.I hugged him, squeezing him as tightly as I could.And then I let him go before he overreacted and threw me off the rock.
Daemon still didn’t move.He stared at me, eyes wide,like he’d never been hugged before."
I!

Daemon was in front of me in a flash, not an inch from my face. “I’m what?”
“Ignorant,” I said, taking a step back.
“And?” He matched my step.
“Arrogant. Controlling.” I took another step back, but he was still in my personal space and then some. “And you’re…you’re a jerk.”
“Oh, I’m sure you can do better than that, Kitten.” His voice was low as he inched me backward.
Love it.
Totally.
And utterly."

you're gonna read the 3rd book....you can't help it. You'll miss Daemon and then you'll want to know what happens...and thence once you know you'll throw your kindle or book across the room and stomp on it and then set it on fire. But it was worth it because Daemon is fantastic! :-)
