Obsession by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Published
May 31st 2013
Summary:
He’s arrogant, domineering, and... To. Die. For.
Hunter is a ruthless killer. And the Department of Defense has him firmly in their grasp, which usually doesn’t chafe too badly because he gets to kill bad guys. Most of the time he enjoys his job. That is, until he’s saddled with something he’s never had to do before: protect a human from his mortal enemy.
Serena Cross didn’t believe her best friend when she claimed to have seen the son of a powerful senator turn into something... unnatural. Who would? But then she witnesses her friend’s murder at the hands of what can only be an alien, thrusting her into a world that will kill to protect their secret.
Hunter stirs
Serena’s temper and her lust despite their differences. Soon he’s doing
the unthinkable—breaking the rules he’s lived by, going against the
government to keep Serena safe. But are the aliens and the government
the biggest threats to Serena’s life… or is it Hunter?

Invisibility by Andrea Cremer
Published
May 7th 2013
Summary:
Stephen has been
invisible for practically his whole life — because of a curse his
grandfather, a powerful cursecaster, bestowed on Stephen’s mother before
Stephen was born. So when Elizabeth moves to Stephen’s NYC apartment
building from Minnesota, no one is more surprised than he is that she
can see him. A budding romance ensues, and when Stephen confides in
Elizabeth about his predicament, the two of them decide to dive
headfirst into the secret world of cursecasters and spellseekers to
figure out a way to break the curse. But things don’t go as planned,
especially when Stephen’s grandfather arrives in town, taking his anger
out on everyone he sees. In the end, Elizabeth and Stephen must decide
how big of a sacrifice they’re willing to make for Stephen to become
visible — because the answer could mean the difference between life and
death. At least for Elizabeth.

Both of these books sound amazing to me. I'm a fan of Jennifer L. Armentrout, so of course I HAD to get OBSESSION! It's a crossover novel from her Lux Series, but geared for the New Adult genre. And then Invisibility by Andrea Cremer just sounded so fun that i decided to pick it up as well. The blurb about the secret world of cursecasters and spellseekers has me really intrigued.
