Onyx by Jennifer L Armentrout ~ tour stop (Student review, Character Interview & GIVEAWAY)

The Official release date for Onyx is August 14th!

My stop on the tour stop is super exciting.  I have TWO wonderful things for you.  First, I have a student review from Cora.  I know it's summer but I have my ways.

By Cora

I don't usually read sequels cause they are weird and the story plot changes, but Oynx was one out of two books I couldn't wait to read the books following. I really liked the flow of Oynx it had just the right amount of emotion and story in it. The plot came together really well and it made sense and it was very entertaining to read the entire book. I liked how much you got to know the kind and rather well looking side of Daemon but his irritating side was still there. My favorite part was when they find out something about Dawson and the book sadly came to an end leaving me and all its future readers in suspense. In conclusion, Oynx was an amazing read that I recommend to anyone that likes Jennifer's books and everyone else as well.

The second thing I have for you is an interview with Blake from Onyx.  Now Blake is the guy that I wanted to reach inside the pages of the book and smack upside the head MANY times.  So when I was asked to pick a character to interview, I asked for him.  I will say I was my normal nice self and didn't give him a piece of my mind.  BUT I will tell you that his answer to one question gave me pause.  See if you can figure out which one.  I give you Blake.



Hey Blake, thanks for talking to me. Love being here at the smoking hole. They have great lasagna here. Have you ever had it?

"No problem." Looks around and then seems to get comfortable. "I'm more into sugary sweet types of food. Not big on Italian."

No Italian food? Really? Well, um..tell me about the first time you met Katy. What was your impression of her?

His brows raise. "I thought she seemed like a really nice girl. Not someone I normally pay that much attention to, but there's just something special about her."

Interesting.  Special, huh?  And now, what do you think of her?

"The same thing." He runs a hand through his messy, bronze colored hair. "Yeah, the same thing."

Nothing different?  Really?  Well then can you tell me something about Katy that we don't learn from the book?

Blake laughs. "There's a lot of things I can tell you, but a gentleman doesn't kiss and tell, so I don't snoop and tell."

Hmmm...well okay.  What about you, tell me something about you that we won't learn from reading the book?

"I once threw up on a ride at Disneyland when I was a kid."

Oh well...I promise not to tell.  So, if you could have one wish, no questions asked, what would it be?

"Easy." He sits back and sighs. "To get the hell away from all of this."

Oh, you don't like it here?  Interesting.  Okay, if you could go back in time and change one thing, what would it be?

"There isn't anything I can change about what I've done," he says. "I would change what other people have done."

Oh really? Well that's interesting.  Then, are we gonna see you in Opal?

Blake smiles slightly. "I am hard to get rid of."

I'll just bet.

Randomness:

M&M or skittles? Skittles
Sweet or salty? Sweet
Day or night? Day
Chocolate or vanilla? chocolate
Mountains or ocean? ocean
Blue or brown eyes? blue
Blond or brunette? either

Hmmm.... no hair color preference.  You are telling today aren't you.  Thanks Blake. I appreciate you talking to me. Let's go eat. What's your favorite?

"Thanks! Let's have some cake."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Did you figure out which question surprised me???  Well I'm not telling just just.  You can guess and I'll let you if you're right.

You know I love Onyx.  I hope all you guys will love it too.  Here's the deets on this book, if you haven't seen it.

ONYX 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?

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

About the author:

Jennifer lives in Martinsburg, West Virginia. All the rumors you've heard about her state aren't true. When she's not hard at work writing, she spends her time reading, working out, watching really bad zombie movies, pretending to write, and hanging out with her husband and her Jack Russell, Loki.

Her dreams of becoming an author started in algebra class, where she spent most of her time writing short stories....which explains her dismal grades in math. Jennifer writes young adult paranormal, science fiction, fantasy, and contemporary romance. She also writes adult romance under the name J. Lynn.
