Sidekick Saturday [29] - Cocky

Sidekick Saturday
Sidekick Saturday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted here by Jaclyn at JC's Book Haven. There are many secondary characters that are as great as the primaries. In some cases, the sidekicks actually steal the show and you like them better than the heroine or hero. Maybe they didn't have enough page time for how great they were. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• Choose a sidekick *or someone other than the hero or heroine* that you would like to put in the spotlight that fits in this week's type
• Share a picture (if possible) and information about the character
• Give the title and author of a book the character can be found in
• Please don't include too many spoilers when describing why the character is such a great sidekick
• Put your link in the Linky thing and comment

July 6th - Soldier

This week is Cocky

My choice is Daemon Black
The Lux Series by Jennifer Armentrout
Daemon Black picture created by Jaclyn Canada

Daemon is very good-looking and he knows it. Some of my favorite parts of the story though are when he's teasing Kat about how hot he is and that he's telling her that he knows that she wants him. When I was first introduced to him in the story, my thought was, "man this guy is cocky". Funny thing is, it becomes a trait I appreciate about him when I get to know him more. I love what Katy says about him, "Beautiful face. Beautiful body. Horrible attitude." He really has some redeeming qualities though since I know while reading that he cares deeply for his sister, is fiercely protective of the people that he loves, and genuinely wants to be a good person and do the right things. He helps Kat become more secure and confident in herself and I like that he brings this strength out in her. 

Quotes:


"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.



“Surprise widened his eyes as he stepped back. "Caving in so easily?"
"Caving in?" I laughed without feeling. "I just want you out of my face."
Daemon chuckled deeply. "Keep telling yourself that, Kitten."
"Keep using your ego steroids.”



"Stalking me again, I see. Do I need to get a restraining order?"
"In your dreams Kitten." He smirked. "Oh wait, I'm already starring in those, aren't I?"
I rolled my eyes. "Nightmares, Daemon. Nightmares."




"His voice was deep and firm. The kind of voice accustomed to people listening and obeying without question. His lashes lifted, revealing eyes so green and brilliant they couldn't be real. They were an intense emerald color that stood out in vibrant contrast against his tan skin."

If you've read Obsidian, here is the laptop scene from Daemon's POV, and the Homecoming scene from Daemon's POV. Plus some more wonderful extras from Jennifer Armentrout.
