Onxy Blog Tour- Q&A With Jennifer L. Armentrout and a Giveaway

Hey y’all! We have the awesome Jennifer L. Armentrout here today for our stop on the Onxy Blog Tour! She was nice enough to answer some burning questions we had about her and her books. So check out her answers below. Also we’re giving away a copy of Obsidian to one lucky person so make sure to fill out the Rafflecopter form below!

Check out what Jennifer had to say!

Two Chicks- So you’re a busy lady with all your different books! How do you find the time to write them all (and take care of Loki) and be online tweeting and on facebook talking to your loyal readers?

Jennifer-  Ha. Sometimes I honestly don’t know. There are days when I need to                            disappear into the writing cave. I guess I just make time for all those things, and Loki sleeps most of the time.

Two Chicks- With such a big presence online. Do you have a favorite fan encounter?
Jennifer- I think the whole #daemoninvasion tour had some pretty epic fan moments. So did BEA. I got to meet a lot of readers that I’d spoken with online and watching the readers interact with Pepe and Sztella was a lot of fun.

Two Chicks- Onyx is really long coming in at over 400 pages (loved every bit of it btw) is it the longest book you’ve written?
Jennifer- I don’t think so. I’m pretty sure Pure may have been longer, but the book size is different so it doesn’t seem that long. If Pure wasn’t longer, it was pretty close. As was Deity and Apollyon.

Two Chicks- I know I can’t be too spoilery for the people who haven’t read Onyx but can you give us any hints about what’s coming in Opal? Because that ending?!?! Wow!!
Jennifer- I can tell you that the ending of Onyx isn’t really that big of deal. And Opal picks up about a week after Onyx ends.

Two Chicks- Tell us about some of the books you’ve read lately? What’s really caught your eye? Any recommendations?

Jennifer- I’ve been in a reading slump and been re-reading the Black Dagger Brotherhood. Before then, Sweet Evil and Of Poseidon were really great.

Two Chicks- The Daemon Invasion tour was a major success! What was your favorite part of the signing tour? How was it hanging out with Pepe and Sztella? Any craziness go down on the tour?
Jennifer- Hanging out with Pepe and Sztella were my favorite parts. The craziest thing was probably the mixed drinks my sister made while in Miami. And when a fan asked Pepe to say “Kitten”

Two Chicks- You drop several bombs in Onyx that leave us with our jaws on the floor and our heads spinning. Do you enjoy torturing us? No seriously though…do you outline your books and do you know how the Lux series in particular will end?
Jennifer- I do enjoy torturing readers. Ha. I don’t plot any of the books I write. Sometimes the twists even surprise me. It’s a real good feeling at the end of the book when it actually comes together, lol.

Two Chicks- Daemon is one of our very favorite characters ever but would you ever date a Daemon Black? 
Jennifer- I kind of dated a guy like him. Not the jerk side, but the real snarky and witty side. I think I’d kill Daemon if he was real and I had to deal with him.

Two Chicks- Even though Daemon comes off as a pretentious, self-absorbed jerk what would you say is his best quality?   
Jennifer- He’s actually very selfless. That’s his best quality.

Two Chicks- Hey we miss your Blog TV chats do you have anything planned anytime soon?
Jennifer- I NEED to do one soon! Ahhhhh!

Being connected to Daemon Black sucks… Daemon’s determined to prove what he feels for me is more than a product of our bizarre connection. I’ve sworn him off even though he’s running more hot than cold these days. But against all common sense, I’m falling for him. Hard. Our relationship issues aren’t out biggest problem… The Department of Defense is here. If they ever find out what Daemon can do and that we’re linked, I’m a goner. So is he. And when a new boy shows up a school with a secret of his own, things get complicated fast. I need to choose between my own instincts and Daemon’s. But then everything changes… I’ve seen someone who shouldn’t be alive. Daemon’s never going to stop searching until gets the truth. What happened to his brother? Who betrayed him? And what does the DOD want from them—from me? No one is who they seem. And not everyone will survive the lies.

Check out the Onyx trailer!!!!

About the Author:

Jennifer lives in Martinsburg, West Virginia. All the rumors you've heard about her state aren't true. When she's not hard at work writing, she spends her time reading, working out, watching really bad zombie movies, pretending to write, and hanging out with her husband and her Jack Russell, Loki.

Her dreams of becoming an author started in algebra class, where she spent most of her time writing short stories....which explains her dismal grades in math. Jennifer writes young adult paranormal, science fiction, fantasy, and contemporary romance. She also writes adult romance under the name J. Lynn.

Being connected to Daemon Black sucks… Daemon’s determined to prove what he feels for me is more than a product of our bizarre connection. I’ve sworn him off even though he’s running more hot than cold these days. But against all common sense, I’m falling for him. Hard. Our relationship issues aren’t out biggest problem… The Department of Defense is here. If they ever find out what Daemon can do and that we’re linked, I’m a goner. So is he.

And what does the DOD want from them—from me? No one is who they seem. And not everyone will survive the lies.

And now here’s our teaser!!!!!!!!!!

“I don’t think we got the chance to introduce ourselves the other night at the diner. My name is Blake Saunders.” He offered his free hand.
Daemon glanced at Blake’s hand before returning his gaze to me. “I know who you are.”
Oh, geez. I twisted toward Blake. “This is Daemon Black.”
His smile faltered. “Yeah, I know who he is, too.”
Laughing under his breath, Daemon straightened. At his full height, he was a good head taller than Blake. “It’s always nice to meet another fan.”
Yeah, Blake had no idea what to say to that.

OMG Right! Ok and if you want another teaser make sure to check Jaime’s review (link up above) there’s another there lol! And check out Book Kitty Blog for today’s other tour stop!

The Daemon Invasion is finally here...

Over the last couple of weeks, you've heard us talking about the upcoming #daemoninvasion and we're so excited to finally share with you what is going on. 


REALLY EXCITED!

The beautiful and uber cool models, Pepe Toth and Sztella Tziotziosz, who grace the Lux covers, will be joining us in the United States! You heard right. They are flying here, from Hungary to spend a few days as Daemon and Katy! While they are here, they will be working with Vania, from VLC Productions (the team behind Cassandra Clare's The Mortal Instruments, Melissa de la Cruz, Kimberly Derting, Moira Young, Kami Garcia and Margret Stohl, Hillary Duff, Lauren Destefano, and many, many more authors' book trailers), to film book trailers for the Lux Series. 


During the filming in Atlanta, they will be accompanying us on tour! What does that mean? You get to meet them. In the flesh. They will be participating in the signings and events. At those signings, we'll be giving away signed posters, photos, and other swag. There will also be meet and greet events you can join in on. 


At each signing, there will be advanced copies of Onyx given away! 


And to top thing off (as if this isn't enough, be we don't do anything small), there's something very, very exciting in the works! It involves advanced copies of Opal, water, and a little destination known as the Bahahmas. 


We are not kidding. 


This will be epic.


Are you excited? We are. This tour is going to be so, so much fun, and we're so thrilled that Pepe and Sztella are a part of it. We owe them a huge thank you and a giant welcome for making the 16 hour flight to meet the readers of the Lux Series. YOU!!

From Goodreads.                                                     Being connected to Daemon Black sucks…                         Daemon’s determined to prove what he feels for me is more than a product of our bizarre connection. I’ve sworn him off even though he’s running more hot than cold these days. But against all common sense, I’m falling for him. Hard.                                                                                           Our relationship issues aren’t out biggest problem…                                                                             The Department of Defense is here.

Daemon’s never going to stop searching until gets the truth. What happened to his brother? Who betrayed him? And what does the DOD want from them—from me? No one is who they seem. And not everyone will survive the lies.

Onyx  was longer than the first but so worth it. It was hottter, sexier, more action packed, absolutely gut wrenching, and more tear filled than Obsidian! There’s really not much I can say without spoiling the story but I will say holy shit I fell more in love with Daemon I didn’t think it would be possible but he is now my favorite character in any of Jen’s books! I loved Katy too I mean she is one kick ass chick and I still love that she’s a blogger. Y’all might remember that from my gushing review of Obsidian ;)

There’s a few new characters introduced and one happens to be a very hot boy with some pretty intense secrets. There are some pretty intense surprises in this book and let me tell you some will leave you reeling and cursing at Jennifer especially after the ending (hello holy shit moment)! You will be dying to read Opal and this wait is going to be a killer!

I picked a passage that I think is pretty safe to share and it’s one of my favorites!

Around six in the evening. I felt that now-oh-so-familiar tingle on the back of my neck right before Daemon knocked. A ball of confusing feelings unfurled inside me as I hurried to the door.

The first thing I noticed was the large box beside him, and then the scent of roasted turkey and yams.

“Hey,” he said, holding a stack of covered plates. “Happy Thanksgiving.”

I blinked slowly. “Happy Thanksgiving.”

“You going to invite me in?” He held up the plates, wiggling them. “I come bearing gifts in the form of food.”

I stepped aside.

Still grinning, he came in and waved his free hand. The box lifted off the porch and trailed behind him like a dog. It landed just inside the foyer. As I shut the door, I caught sight of Ash and Andrew climbing into their car. Neither of them looked over.

A lump formed in my throat as I turned to Daemon.

“I brought a little of everything,” He headed toward the kitchen. “There’s turkey, yams, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, green-bean casserole, some kind of apple crisp thing and pumpkin—Kitten? Are you coming?”

That’s it no more you’ll just have to wait to see what happens but just let me say it’s one of the best parts of the book ;)
