I've got some really exciting news that I've been sitting on for a while. Well, for like a couple of months, but I finally get to share the rough form of the PW announcement which should be going live very soon, so YAY!
USA Today bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout's adult novel OBSESSION, which takes place in the world of the YA series THE LUX, in which a young woman discovers an alien race is behind her best friend's death, making her their next target, and must rely on a sexy, domineering stranger to protect her, who turns out to be the biggest threat of them all - an Arum, to Liz Pelletier at Entangled, for publication in spring 2013 (world) by Kevan Lyon at Marsal Lyon Literary Agency
Eeep!
What can I tell you about Obsession?
An Arum. Yes. You read that right.
Obsession does take place in the same world that Katy and Daemon inhabit,
Obsession is more mature, definitely targeted toward the older crowd. It's an adult romance, so you know what that means.
Obsession will change what you think you know about the Luxens and Arums.
Obsession will change what you think you know about the Luxens and Arums.
There will be some crossover with certain characters from the Lux Series.
Obsession takes place in-between Opal and the 4th Lux novel, which is called Origin (special thanks to the twitter follower who suggested that title.)
Some of you may even remember a tease I did a couple of months ago. Hunter and Serena are the lead characters in Obsession. Click HERE to see the tease and HERE
Hunter is a true alpha male and is one of my favorite characters I've ever written. He's like Daemon and Seth rolled into one. Totally no holds bars. Hunter is... well, he's Hunter.
You don't have to read the Lux Series to read Obsession
And if you enjoyed Obsidian and Daemon, well, I think you're going to enjoy Obsession.

ReplyDeleteI can't wait! I'm so excited!
ReplyDeleteJust want to let you know that your Lux series is a miracle: one of sisters hates reading, since last year, I've been suggesting some of my favourite books to her tor read, like The Hunger Games, etc, but she just couldn't get past the first few pages, the farthest she's read are 40 pages, but the last month I suggested to her to try Obsidian and told her a little bit of what it's about, she got really interested, because she loves the kind of relationship that Katy Daemon have like I do. So she started reading it and right away she couldn't put it down and she read it in two days, that's a record for her. I was so shocked that she of all people loved a book and read it in only two days, and she's almost finished reading Onyx too. So, thank you very much for writing such an awesome series that even my book hating sister loved it and read it really quickly, and we're really excited for Opal as well. I might even get her to write a review on Obsidian on my blog.

ReplyDeleteHe's like Daemon and Seth rolled into one.
ReplyDeleteHe's like Daemon and Seth rolled into one.
He's like Daemon and Seth rolled into one.
That sentence keeps rolling through my head like a scrolling news marquee. What are you trying to do to me!? LOL I'm a super-de-duper Seth fan and who isn't a Daemon fan? I'm already lusting after this Hunter. Thanks for the news! I'm too excited for my own good...
How can you make me love an arum? And you know I'm gonna love him since I already loved the teaser of him that we got.
ReplyDeleteThe arum were supposed to be the bad guys. Now my whole perception of them is going to be skewed.
Oh. My. God. That's like the best news. EVER. I'm liking the idea that this is an older book and that you're up for the challenge of making us all fall for the bad guy. Only you can do it Jennifer ;)
ReplyDeleteOh awesome! I plan to start Obsidian within the coming weeks...very behind as you can see...but this sound awesome! I didn't want to read too much so I am not spoiled for the Lux world, but this still sounds exciting with YA and Adult characters inhabiting the same world!
ReplyDeleteI have a huge smile on my face right now!!! I´m so excited :))!! Seriously, everytime you announce a new book I am the happiest person on this planet!!
ReplyDeletePlease just never stop writing books!
