The Lux Series Part One by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Sorry I'm not sure why but I've tried posting this book like two times already but it isn't showing up so here is what Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout:

12578077

When Katy moved to West Virginia she thought all she was getting was a whole lot of boring... that was up until she met her next door neighbor,  Daemon Black. He was gorgeous... up until he opened his mouth. He was  arrogant and infuriating. They don't get along until he saves Katy's life by freezing a truck in place. And that is when all the secrets come out. Daemon, and his sister Dee, are actually aliens and they have enemies on Earth that would do anything to get to them.

Now before you go, find that book, and start reading, stop for a moment and think about what I have to say. I was a sucker, read that,  and flipped it open diving right in head first. Not such a good idea. Like I've said before,  I can easily deceived by some books. Some of them just sound so good, they have great covers, their plots are awesome, and everything seems perfect with them. Now before I say this,  I know now that I was so wrong to let myself get sucked into this series and I was wrong to keep reading it. I should have shut the book and sent it back to the library when I saw the first swear word. But I didn't. Don't get me wrong. The dialogue is awesome (to me at least) the plot wanted to make you just keep going and going and the characters were incredible. Just that... I could have done without all the swearing. I got to the third before I couldn't take it anymore and this is why I split this post into three parts. This part is about Obsidian. The swearing, and few... heated kissing scenes aside it was a great book. I seriously loved Daemon's witty dialogue and his perky smiley sister. Now let me just get this out of the way. I am not an alien person. Don't believe in them, don't read about them. But Daemon was just so likable or more like unlikable that I was willing to look over the whole alien thing. Plus their powers are pretty cool. The whole dynamic was interesting, though for some reason it reminded me a bit of Twilight. Especially, how Katy wasn't scared of Daemon and didn't back away from him when he said he was danger. It sounded like Edward and Bella. I don't recommend this book to anyone. But if you wanted to take your chances with it, I would say sixteen and older... maybe even seventeen and older,  if only for all the swearing and kissing scenes. So  just be careful and use caution with this book. :)

How to Revise like a Pantser ft. Big Hero 6 Gifs

Happy Wednesday everyone! I hope you've had a great week so far and that you have a great Easter weekend ahead! We plan on going to my grandparent's on Friday to celebrate Easter with family and spending the night there so that'll be a fun time. :) Alright, so I contemplated doing an Easter-y post on here but I wasn't even sure what that would look like... So instead, I thought I'd do something fun and happy in honor of the celebration of Easter on Sunday. Without further ado, here is your Big Hero 6 gif filled revising process from a real life pantser: The end of your first draft is in sight! You type like crazy, stay up past your normal bedtime until it is finished. When you type The End, the satisfaction that you actually did this thing sets in. Guys, it is the sweetest feeling ever. Knowing you worked so hard to complete this draft and came out on the other side. Unscathed? Perhaps not. But triumphant? Definitely! That first draft is a total disast

Cover Reveal: Golden Touch!!

 Happy Tuesday!!  Today's the day! I turn 23 and I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate than to share the cover for Golden Touch! I think this is by far my favorite cover my mom has ever done. It's crazy to think that this time last year Golden Touch was still just a first draft and I was in the middle of writing book 2 of the series. A defining part of my twenty-second year will always be having revised Golden Touch and written almost the entire Archive Series. And now I get to open up my twenty-third year with sharing the cover and writing book the first draft of book 5, the very last book in the series. God is so good guys. I really think He gave me Golden Touch and this whole series a few months before the events of 2020 started. He gave me a story I could get lost in, I could find joy in even during some of the hardest times of the year. And now I get to share the cover and I get to close out the series and I just pray and hope that God will use Golden Touch and

How to Write a Negative Character Arc

Anyone else love reading a train wreck? I find negative character arcs refreshing and fun to read and watch because not a lot of people do them. Like I'm a sucker for a redemption arc. I love characters that start out horrible and bad and "irredeemable" and then slowly redeem themselves and become the good guy. But from time to time I just love watching a good character go bad. Call me evil but I hope I'm not the only one who enjoys this. I've actually wanted to write this post for a while after rewatching Merlin last year and then over the past month me and a friend were rewatching Star Wars and I've always enjoyed the prequels because of Anakin's downward spiral. Also the last season of The 100, you watch as Octavia completes her journey to becoming one of the meanest, worst antagonists in the show. And that's saying something. The other day I really thought about what other characters who have negative arcs there are but I honestly couldn't th
