Aliens are the new vampires, and sexy Daemon Black will set your pulse racing. . . STARTING OVER SUCKS When we moved to West Virginia right before my senior year, I'd pretty much resigned myself to thick accents, dodgy internet access, and a whole lot of boring. . . until I spotted my hot neighbour, with his looming height and eerie green eyes. Things were looking up. AND THEN HE OPENED HIS MOUTH Daemon is infuriating. Arrogant. Stab-worthy. We do not get along. At all. But when a stranger attacks me and Daemon literally freezes time with a wave of his hand, well, something. . . unexpected happens. THE HOT ALIEN LIVING NEXT DOOR MARKS ME You heard me. Alien. Turns out Daemon and his sister have a galaxy of enemies wanting to steal their abilities, and Daemon's touch has me lit up like the Vegas Strip. The only way I'm getting out of this alive is by sticking close to Daemon until my alien mojo fades. IF I DON'T KILL HIM FIRST, THAT IS 'If you haven't already picked these books up, seriously what are you waiting for!' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'I don't usually like alien stories, but this one! Oh my god! AMAZING!' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Immediately upon starting Obsidian I was hit with the most beautiful feelings of nostalgia. It made me feel how I felt reading Twilight, The Hunger Games, and Divergent for the first time' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rene and his men are known as D.O.A., Dragons of Anarchy. They were created centuries ago, by the great Heck, to find and destroy serialists by any means necessary. Each member was gifted with a dragon that was connected to their soul. If one died, so did the other. The men didn't shift into the dragon, but they would call out and the maharishi would join them in the fight against evil. Not wanting their secret discovered, D.O.A. lived in a town called Drago, just outside Poconos Boulevard, and they hid behind their image as a bad ass motorcycle club Children were being murdered and Rene, otherwise known as Pit, along with his men were out to find out who was behind the copycat murders of a long time serial killer known as the Alphabet Killer. While questioning a victim's mother, Rene discovered his sentience, his mate. Now all he had to do was figure out how to tell the man he was not exactly human, and he better do it fast because his dragon heat was already kicking in. Bren was the local town veterinarian. He figured something was off about SI Rene Telkin. If not from the leather jacket with a large D.O.A. patch on the back, then maybe because he drove a navy Blue Harley Davidson CVO Street glider instead of a tan sedan. Bren was not the type to get mixed up with a biker club, even if the man was a cop. However, something kept drawing him to the sexy man and it seemed that nothing would break the bond they were forming. Not even when he discovered the secret all D.O.A. agents held. A large dragon for a partner. Now Rene needs to do his best to claim his mate and also track down a serial killer, because on the last body was a note threatening the good doctor of Poconos Boulevard.
