Blog Tour: 30 Days of Daemon

Sam here with an awesome blog tour! It's the 30 Days of Daemon blog tour! Featuring a super sexy, extremely hot alien,
from the book Obsidian by the ever amazing Jennifer Armentrout!
Today I have my favorite Daemon Scenes for you, I have split them into seven categories and I would like to share them with you. Beware though, they are extremely spoilery so I wouldn't read this if you have no read Obsidian!

Okay I will start here, leave now if you haven't read, stay if you have! :) I am shortening the quotes, so if it looks different, that is because there is way too much to type and I don't want the whole book in here!

1.) The meeting of the infamous Daemon
"A naked chest. My gaze dropped and my breath sort of... stalled. Jeans hung low on his hips, revealing a thin line of dark hair that formed below his navel and disappeared under the band of his jeans.
His stomach was ripped. Perfect. Totally touchable.
'Hello?' He said again, 'Are you capable of speaking?'" Pg 6

"'You can't miss it. Well maybe you could. There's a hardware store next door.'
'Now that's not very ladylike, Kittycat.'" Pg. 8

"So the dickhead had a name. Daemon- seemed fitting." Pg 10

"Beautiful face. Beautiful body. Horrible attitude. It was the holy trinity of hot boys." Pg 20

2.) How Daemon earns bonus points
"'I figured I'd do my good deed for the day and intervene before any innocent sponges lose their lives.'"Pg 27

"'I'll sit here all day and night. I'll camp out on your porch. And I won't leave.'" Pg 32

3.) Daemon being a protective bad ass
"'Be careful with what you say next.' Daemon's voice was low but carried. 'Because what you don't know and what you can't possibly understand will get you a bolt of light in your face.'" Pg 220

"Daemon growled in fury as he rose, standing over me like an avenging angel, swathed in light." Pg 251

4.) Daemon and his super sexiness and steaminess
"Moving unbelievably fast, I was on my back and he was above me in a flash. 'Are you asking me if I'm attracted to human girls?' he asked. 'Or are you asking me if I'm attacked to you?'" Pg 153

To make this shorter, because it's really long I am just going to give the page number and a little description.

Pg 217 when Daemon and Katy wake up in the morning and how Daemon keeps cuddling into her even when she tries to move! Then when he looks up, how she describes him makes perfect sense for Daemon!  :) Hehe I love that scene!

Pg 234-235 Daemon and Katy's major make out scene. OMG that is hot. That is all I can say.

5.) Daemon and his pen poking
"A second later, I felt something poke my back. Biting down on my lip, I glanced over my shoulder." Pg 96

"He poked me in the back with his pen. I froze. Him and the goddamn pen. The poke came again, this time with a little force behind it. I swung around, eyes narrow. 'What?'" Pg 112

"And it worked right up until he sat behind me and I felt his pen poking against my back. Slowly, I set my pen down and causally turned around. 'Yes?'" Pg 162

"And if he poked me in the back with a pen one more freaking time, I was going to throw him in front of an Arum." Pg 237

6.) Daemon being his usual smart ass self
"'So what do you blog about? Knitting? Puzzles? Being lonely?'
'So you review books and you don't get paid if someone buys the book based on your review?'" Pg 51

"'I checked out your blog.'
'Stalking me again, I see. Do I need to get a restraining order?'
'In your dreams, Kitten.' He smirked. 'Oh wait, I'm already starring in those, aren't I?'" Pg 97

"'Why are you such an ass?' 'Everyone has to excel at something, right?'" Pg 152

"'I didn't eat all of it.'
'Oh, so it ate itself?'
'Actually, I think the freezer ate it,' Daemon responded dryly." Pg 164

"'Wow,' Daemon said. 'You guys are even uglier as humans than in your true form. Didn't think that was possible. You look like you've been living under a rock. See the sun much?'" Pg 207

Pg 233 when Daemon is trying to work the trace off of Katy! Telling her that she could do jumping jacks or run around the house!
"'Well hello, honey, I've been out boozing and whoring. I know, my priorities are pretty off.'" Pg 262

"'You do realize I love a challenge?' 'So do I, Daemon. So do I.'" Pg 268

7.) Even Daemon can be super sweet sometimes
"I tried to keep on my side o the car and my head up, because I doubted he'd appreciate my lying on him, but once Daemon settled next to me, my head sort of fell to his chest. He stiffened for a moment and then placed his arm around my shoulder. The warmth of him quickly seeped into my bones. It felt right, at the moment, to be nestled against him." Pg 83-84

"'I won't hurt you, Kat.' 'I could never hurt you,'" Pg 124

"'I didn't say thank you,' he said, staring up at me. 'You should've run, Kat. They would've... killed you without thinking twice. But you saved my life. Thank you.'" Pg 213

Pg 214 when Daemon stayed the night at Katy's and he just stayed in the bed with her and was super sweet with her! It made my heart swell.
"Heart breaking, I reached out and my fingers disappeared into his light. Warmth encircled my fingers, the slightest pressure of Daemon's hand wrapping around mine. He squeezed, as if to reassure me, and a sob caught in my throat. Daemon was using the last of his strength to save me." Pg 254

"'Kat, you're not going to die. Don't move or do anything. Just relax and trust me. Don 't fight what's about to happen.
'What am I doing? If they find out what I've done... but I can't lose her. I can't.' 'Please. Please. I can't lose you. Please open your eyes. Please don't leave me.'" Pg 256-259

So there is actually a lot more, but I don't want to overwhelm you with my other favorite scenes!

Review: Tempest Unleashed

Title: Tempest Unleashed
Author: Tracy Deebs
Published: June 5, 2012
Source: eGalley

Synopsis:

Tempest Maguire is happy with her decision to embrace her mermaid nature and live among her mother’s clan within the ocean’s depths. Even though training to one day ascend the throne for the aging mermaid queen is rigorous, she finds refuge in the arms of Kona, the selkie who first opened her up to her mermaid side. But when word comes that one of her brothers has been gravely injured on land, Tempest immediately rushes to his side—which also brings her back to her old flame, Mark. And in her absence, a deadly battle begins raging at the hands of Tempest’s old nemesis, the sea witch Tiamat. As the dangerous war erupts, Tempest’s two loves—Kona and Mark, sea and land—will collide for the first time, both to protect her and to force her to choose.

Review:
Tracy Deebs has done it again. Everything about this book was amazing. It kept me reading and wanting more. I stayed up until 2 in the morning finishing this book just so I could see what Tempest ending up doing.

Cover:
I like the cover, it looks like the cover for Tempest Rising. Except this one was a little less focused and clear.  It could just be that the image isn't in high res, or something like that, but it makes it look like they didn't care that much about the cover.

Plot/Writing:
The story was really well written. You could tell that she took her time and tried to plan everything out just right. She timed her reveals and plot twists at just the right time. So when your in high suspense, everything fell into place right when you needed it too. The story flowed from one page to the next, and it all came together in an ending that left me wanting more. Even though it wasn't a cliff hanger, it just seemed like it was.

Characters:
Tempest hasn't changed at all. Well, yeah she hasn't changed. She is still the crazy, irrational girl we all fell in love with at the beginning. She is ruled by her emotions, and that seems to make her more powerful. She cares deeply about everything, and will do anything for the ones she loves. Even swimming halfway across the ocean and risking major injury on a whim and a feeling.

The guys, how could I forget the guys! First, lets do Kona. He is the hunky Selkie Prince that every time Tempest kisses him she sees fireworks. Which I don't think is a bad thing. He loves Tempest and would do anything for her. He even follows her back to her home, and races across out of a very important meeting with his father when he hears that she is injured.
And then there's Mark. Frankly, I like Mark much better. He is the type of guy any girl wants. Sexy, sweet, and caring. He would do anything for Tempest, even if he is human, and he doesn't know that she's a mermaid. He is the best friend type. That one person that everything comes naturally with, there's no fakeness and no trouble being around that one person. TEAM MARK ALL THE WAY! :)

All in All:
I LOVED THIS BOOK. Was that too much? Oops, but its true. I can't wait to hear news about the next book. Tracy Deebs, I will be stalking your blog until I hear something about the next Tempest book! :) 5 out of 5 tacos!

Waiting on Wednesday: 5/30/12

Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine! It showcases books that we can't wait on to come out!

This week I'm waiting on Deity by Jennifer Armentrout!

History is on repeat, and things didn't go so well the last time.

Alexandria isn't sure she's going to make it to her eighteenth birthday—to her Awakening. A long-forgotten, fanatical order is out to kill her, and if the Council ever discovers what she did in the Catskills, she’s a goner... and so is Aiden.

If that's not freaky enough, whenever Alex and Seth spend time "training"—which really is just Seth's code word for some up-close and personal one-on-one time—she ends up with another mark of the Apollyon, which brings her one step closer to Awakening ahead of schedule. Awesome.

But as her birthday draws near, her entire world shatters with a startling revelation and she’s caught between love and Fate. One will do anything to protect her. One has been lying to her since the beginning. Once the gods have revealed themselves, unleashing their wrath, lives will be irrevocably changed... and destroyed.

Those left standing will discover if love is truly greater than Fate...

Deity is released on November 6, 2012
