Monday Morning Wishes #1

Mondays are the days I let you all know about a book I just can't wait to get my hands on! For the first of such Monday I chose a book, I'm dying to read. When the publishing date was moved forward I all but fell on my knees, yelling, "Whyyyy, Oh Whyy!?" Of course it's Onyx, from the Lux series by Jennifer L. Armentrout, with the expected publication date of August 14th. Just because who doesn't like the smokin' hot aliens? Even if I didn't before, I sure do now!

You can read my review of Obsidian here, I loved it to pieces. And now, when you've remembered all the reasons you loved it, you can take a sneak peak at the teasers Mrs Armentrout has generously posted on her site.

"You okay with all of this?" I whispered to Daemon.
He shrugged. "Not like I can stop her."
I knew he could if he wanted, which meant he didn't have a problem with it.
"Cookie?" he offered, holding a cookie full of chocolate chips.
Upset tummy or not, there was no way I could refuse that. "Sure."
His lips tipped up one side and he leaned toward me, his mouth inches from mine. "Come and get it."
Come and get...? Daemon placed half the cookie between those full, totally kissable lips.
Oh, holy alien babies everywhere...


My mouth dropped open. Several of the girls at the table made sounds that had me wondering if they were turning into puddles under the table, but I couldn't bring myself to check out what they really were doing.
That cookie—those lips—were right there.
Heat swept over my cheeks. I could feel the eyes of everyone on else, and Daemon... dear God, Daemon arched his brows, daring me.
Dee gagged. "I think I'm going to hurl."
Mortified, I wanted to crawl into a hole. What did he think I was going to do? Take the cookie from his mouth like something straight out of an R rated version of Lady and the Tramp? Heck, I kind of wanted to and I wasn't sure what that said about me.
Daemon reached up and took the cookie. There was a gleam to his eyes, as if he just won some battle. "Times up, Kitten."
I stared at him.
Breaking the cookie into two, he handed me the larger piece. I snatched it away, half tempted to throw it back in his face, but it was... it was chocolate chip. So I ate it and loved it.

*sigh* I don't now how many times I've read the excerts already, but after the first time by brain stopped working. I choked on myself for a full minute only to read them again, and again, and again...

The action is supposed to take up right where the Obsidian stopped and be even more full of banter and insane amounts of sexual tension, if it's possible.

So now I've had my chance to gush all about my Daemon drawback and I feel a bit better. I hope I've infected you as well and encouraged to pick up that amazing series, if you already haven't.
