Obsidian

I must say I really enjoy reading the New Species series. I loved Obsidian until the last few chapters. I thought at some point I was reading a different book. I wished it was more in line with the rest of the book. I mean I can understand why it was there but something was seriously missing. Still can't wait for the next book though.

New Species men are the definition of Alphas and when one is weak by any means, it is a hard blow to their ego. Obsidian suffers and is nursed back to health by a woman who loves him. The story broke my heart and glued it back together in one read. Get the glue and tissues ready.

I've been avidly following this series for a while now and would highly recommend it to those that love the offbeat romances. This one left me a little on the disappointed side. Rushed. I know the idea of getting the 2 main characters together as quickly as possible is the norm, but for the same reason the lead female gets chewed out by everyone are the same reasons that the author could have used to delay and generate a little more sympathy for both the characters. It's not that it's a bad book, I still enjoyed it and will keep buying her books, but I'll wait for an excellent book if it pulls the right emotional strings when it gets here and praise that author to the stars when I'm done!

Laurann Dohner is a good writer and I was looking forward her new book. BUT it was not like the others from this series - that I recommend. She repeats herself too much. I felt like she was filing the pages with the same words over and over. It's okay if you have nothing better to do.

I really liked the book. Yeah, Alli was not bright for taking Obsidian and I do agree that the way Tiger and Justice's characters acted in this book seemed out of the normal it was overall a great book. I want to learn more about Jericho.....and Moon, and Shadow, and Brass and Smiley and Beastial and Jaded and Breeze and and and....

I love this story! It was heartbreaking, romantic, funny, everything you want in a book. I have read this story too many times to count. If you love the new species, you'll fall in love with this one!

Reading about these two and how difficult their bonding was made me so sad, but they are so beautiful together. I have new characters I can't stand, and I'm curious as to whether she will get to do her job again! A fantastic read!

I have always loved the new species seriously especially how the fight for freedom. And how they learn how to adapt in the world today. They learn compassion and love , but do so everybody understands. There are people who today wouldn't have half that understanding . They are truly amazing on what they do . Sorry for the rant. I really like the new species series and have read it several times and when the paycheck permit I buy one .

I have read many of Laurann Dohner's books, actually all of them and the New Species series is a fantastic group of stories that really pulls me into the story, makes me wish that people like them existed and I can't wait to read more of the books in this series as they come out. Obisidian is another great New Species personality and he makes my heart go out to him and the love he finds. What a powerful story.

Loved the book. The characters were exceptional and the plot held my interest to the last page. Might could have had a couple of scenes from during the time they were separated but then I'd have wanted more of everything any way. Love this book and this series.

Like many of the reviewers, I was really looking forward to another New Species book and was pretty disappointed. The whole thing seemed rushed, contrived and desperate. It just wasn't the same quality at all. I hope Shadow will be better. I'd hate to see this series deteriorate.

The was a great addition to an already great series. I liked both leads in the book and the writing style was very good. I did have some problems with the editing. There was several places toward the end where sentences just did not make since. after two time it is annoying. Other wise great read.

Dr. Allison Baker has a creepy fixation on one of her coma patients and is disturbed when it's decided that the patient should be taken off life support. Acting like the rational and professional doctor she is, Allison decides to kidnap her coma patient and hide out with him at a cabin in the woods. Luckily for her, Allison's crack-pot idea of how to wake her patient works and he develops a fixation on her.

I clearly have a problem. Every time I pick-up one of these New Species books I know that the main characters and inevitable kidnapping/rape attempt of the heroine is going to annoy me... and yet I can't seem to stop reading this series. The writing can get repetitive and Dohner has a habit of telling and not showing that drives me nuts. But I just can't stop reading these books. This series clearly has some kind of mystical power over me because despite my multiple hang-ups with the stories I'm still looking forward to reading the next one.

Even more great characters get introduced in this latest book.  A wonderful follow up that had main characters we had met briefly before. perfect love story that made you fall in love with the newest species couple.  Now I can only hope to se books with Flame, Jericho, and Moon.

Laurann Dohner has a writing style that just grabs me from page one. Also, even though this series is long she has not fallen into a rut with it. I cant stand when a series repeats plots or problems. It is still very fresh and original.

Another alpha male falls in love, but this time it's not the usual save the damsel in distress!
Really wished this story could go on and on.
Could not put it down.
Still Valiant and Tiger rank #1

Laurann Dohner's done it again. Her New Species series never disappoints. When looking for some excitement and passion I can always find it there. He's as dark as his name suggests, but that won't stop the passion and love building between them. I can't wait for her next installment to her New Species series.

I am so glad that Laurann Dohner came through with another great New Species book to add to the other 7 that were just awesome. Can't wait for the next one to come out. I would recommend this series to anyone who enjoys hot romance stories.

LOVE, LOVE this series.

New species males give new meaning to the term alpha male.
Obsidian was in danger death and Allie is willing to do anything to save him even risking her job and her freedom to save his life.

LOVE LOVE LOVE NSO THESE BOOKS ARE GERAT LOVE VERYONE OF THEM . IT MAKE YOU THINK CAN THIS REALY HAPPEN CAN THIS REALY GO ON. WE YOU HAD ME THINKING I LOVE ALL THE BOOKS AND I HOPE THEY KEEP COMING.

EVERYONE READ THEM

overall I loved the book. although there were a few areas that I didn't like, it still soothed the new species craving I had. the ending was abrupt though, like she got a case of writers block and just finished it off to satisfy the fans. the one thing that bothered me was how similar NSO was to Mercile in their effort to rehabilitate, or put an end to Obsidian. apart from that, an excellent few hours spent. Five stars!!

I loved this series you can read them separately but in order to get the best out of the books you should really read the whole series and after you read one of them you want to read the whole thing anyway.

I LIKE THE BOOK !!! I DONT LOVE IT !!!! DIDNT HAVE A LOT OF STORY JUST A LOT OF SEX SCENES !!!!IM NOT COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SEX SCENES ... DONT GET ME WRONG, I LOVE IT ..... BUT IT JUST MISSED A PLOT....I CANT WAIT TO READ ABOUT VENGEANCE !!! PLEASE DON'T LET ME DOWN ON THIS ONE LAURANN !!!
THANK YOU

Another good one from author. Follow the New Species Series because it is great. Already looking forward to the new one. Great books all around. It's a must read. Characters are great and the books have everything from a good story line that you actually feel for the characters. Strong males and the women who try to tame them, which does not always work. You won't be disappointed.

I love this authors writing style, the way she lays out her story, each one is truly a gem. I will never regret buying this book! In fact I preordered it I was so anxious to read it! If you haven't read the others of this series, you should!

A little disappointed in this book. There is some background on what it's like for a New Species when first freed, which was interesting. But for the romance, I never felt that the doctor really looked at Obsidian as a man, but rather a patient. She was still observing him clinically even at the end. And the whole "she must be punished" theme got a little overdone, especially when it was more of less swept under the carpet at the end. I was disappointed in the other characters who were brought in. From their own stories, I would have expected more understanding, especially from Justice.
I have thoroughly enjoyed this series. My favorites are Valiant and Tiger; I have probably re-read those books seven or eight times already. I doubt I will re-read Obsidian.
