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 neighbor, 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.

LUX: Consequences

Amazon ** Barnes and Noble

 

ABOUT LUX: Consequences:
Now available together for the first time, don’t miss Opal and Origin, the third and fourth books in Jennifer L. Armentrout‘s bestselling Lux series. Also includes bonus content exclusive to the print edition! “A thrilling ride from start to finish,” says RT Book Reviews.

No one is like Daemon Black.

When he set out to prove his feelings for me, he wasn’t fooling around. Doubting him isn’t something I’ll do again, and now that we’ve made it through the rough patches, well… There’s a lot of spontaneous combustion going on.

But even he can’t protect his family from the danger of trying to free those they love.

After everything, I’m no longer the same Katy. I’m different… And I’m not sure what that will mean in the end. When each step we take in discovering the truth puts us in the path of the secret organization responsible for torturing and testing hybrids, the more I realize there is no end to what I’m capable. The death of someone close still lingers, help comes from the most unlikely source, and friends will become the deadliest of enemies, but we won’t turn back. Even if the outcome will shatter our worlds forever.

Together we’re stronger…and they know it.

Origin by Jennifer L. Armentrout – a Review

 

Origin Aug 13

Links to order Origin: Amazon / Barnes & Noble

Description:
Daemon will do anything to get Katy back.

After the successful but disastrous raid on Mount Weather, he’s facing the impossible. Katy is gone. Taken. Everything becomes about finding her. Taking out anyone who stands in his way? Done. Burning down the whole world to save her? Gladly. Exposing his alien race to the world? With pleasure.

All Katy can do is survive.

Surrounded by enemies, the only way she can come out of this is to adapt. After all, there are sides of Daedalus that don’t seem entirely crazy, but the group’s goals are frightening and the truths they speak even more disturbing. Who are the real bad guys? Daedalus? Mankind? Or the Luxen?

Together, they can face anything.

But the most dangerous foe has been there all along, and when the truths are exposed and the lies come crumbling down, which side will Daemon and Katy be standing on?

And will they even be together?


Review:

Origin is the 4th book in Jennifer L. Armentrout’s fantastic Lux series.  I have loved this series from the start, and love Jennifer’s writing.  Her Obsession novel, which was sort of a spinoff, and a New Adult genre, was super & sexy, and had an awesome hot hero. 

Now let’s start with my review of Origin, which picks up shortly after the end of Opal.  If you remember my review on that book, the ending was a slam bang shocker, and one which I wanted to throw darts at Jennifer.  Waiting a year to find out what happens is pure torture.  Darn…why do they do that to us….

Well anyway, I read Origin and I loved it.  It was a bit different then the earlier books, with more darkness, violence and extremely emotional.  I must say that this is a difficult review to write.  Why?  I don’t want to give spoilers, and no matter what I say about this book, based on the ending of Opal, everything would be a spoiler. However, the Lux series is Daemon & Katy, and if anyone thinks book 4 or 5 will change that, then they know nothing about a continuing series that are based on romantic leading characters.  Of course, if this was a George RR Martin fantasy, then this would be different, as he kills everyone off.

With that being said, this is all about Daemon & Katy, who are truly an awesome young couple.  She is a human and he is an Alien…..You ask, who wants to fall in love with an Alien?  Have you met Daemon Black…obviously not if you ask that question. He is hot hot, hot, did I say hot. 

Origin is non stop action, and some horrific parts, but through it all, Daemon is an awesome hero and Katy herself has toughened up, and learns how to use her new powers. The Daedalus, are the bad guys in this book, but are they really bad? The Arums and even other Luxens could possibly be bad also.  We also learn what Origin means, and now we have an added element to the choices of what is good and bad.

The story is very exciting, as we get to see many of our favorites again, and some heart wrenching moments. In Origin, Jennifer pulls on our emotions throughout, so much more so then in the previous books. Those emotions range from anxiety, worry for our heroes, disgust for some things that happen, sadness, and happiness when seeing Daemon & Katy together.  I needed to relax, and step away, before I attempted to write this review.  Though the ending of Origin is not as shocking or heart shattering as Opal, it is still another one that we have to wait until next year.  The Lux series is a keeper, and Jennifer L. Armentrout is a fantastic writer.  I know that this series has been picked up for a movie, and I personally think this would be a sensational movie series, that rivals Twilight.

Now let’s talk to Jennifer!

 

Interview fuscia:black

Hi Jennifer. Thank you for taking the time to revisit with us at The Reading Cafe to discuss your new release “OBSESSION”, what else you have in store for us 2013.

Obsession May 31 2013
TRC: OBSESSION is your May 31st release, a spin off (of sorts), from your fantastic LUX series.  Will you please tell us something about the premise of OBSESSION?  

Jennifer: Obsession delves into  the world from the Lux series, but the male lead, Hunter, is actually one of greatest enemies to the Luxen, an Arum.  When Hunter is forced by the Department of Defense to protect Serena, a human who knows too much, from the same aliens that he has been bred to kill, the situation gets hot and heavy in more ways than one.

 

Links to order Obsession: Amazon / Barnes & Noble /  Kobo / Itunes

TRC:  Is OBSESSION a standalone novel or will it be part of a series? 

Jennifer: Obsession is a standalone novel.

TRC:  What was behind your decision to create a story about a protagonist who was on the side of the enemies from the LUX series? 

Jennifer: There are always two sides to every story, so I thought it would be interesting to look at the world from the Lux series from a different point of view. Also, I thought writing an adult novel featuring an Arum instead of a Luxen would set it apart from my YA series.

TRC: ORIGIN, which is the 4th book (& one novella) in the Lux series, is expected to be released August 27th. When we last saw Katy, you left us hanging desperately. Will Katy and Daemon get back together to fight the enemy?  

Jennifer: That would be too spoilery!   You will just  have to find out in Origin.

TRC:  Is ORIGIN the final book in the Lux series, if not how many books do you plan for this series? 

Jennifer  There are five books in the Lux series, so there will be one more after Origin.

TRC: When the  Lux series does end, do you have plans to continue with a spin-off series?  

Jennifer:  No, I don’t plan to  write a spin-off series because I think the final book will be a good stopping place for the Luxen  world.

TRC: Writing as J. Lynn you released Wait for You last September. What was your reaction to seeing your book make #1 on the NY Times list? 

Jennifer:  I really couldn’t believe it.  I  don’t think I can do my reaction justice right now.  I need my Supernatural gifs to express my  emotions about hitting #1.

TRC:  BE WITH ME-the second book in the Wait for You series- is scheduled for release sometime later this year. Would you please tell us something about the premise?  

Jennifer:  Be With Me  features Jase, Cam’s best friend, and Teresa, Cam’s sister.  I’m not allowed to give you any other  details yet.  But, I can tell you that Cam and Avery make some appearances throughout the book.   As a matter of fact, Cam is in the first chapter of Be With Me.

TRC: You are a very prolific writer with a number of releases scheduled for 2013. Will you please share with us on what you are currently working and what else you have in store for 2013?  

Jennifer: I just finished writing Trust in Me which is Wait for You in Cam’s POV.  I’m currently writing Be With Me.  My writing schedule is tight, so I have back to back books lined up to write this year.

TRC: You write YA, New Adult, Romance, Erotic Romance; do you have a favorite genre, and why?  

Jennifer: I don’t really have a favorite genre.  My favorite book is typically the book that
I’m currently working on, so I think that probably holds true for the different genres, too.

Since I’m writing New Adult at the moment, I would say that it’s my favorite genre right now. 

TRC: Also, what  are the challenges of switching between genres?  

Jennifer: Since my stories in each genre are so different,  it’s not as difficult as you would think to switch between them.  I just have to be mindful of the content within each genre to make sure I keep the sexiness age appropriate.

TRC:Would you like to add anything else? 

Jennifer:  Just thanks for participating in the blog tour!

Thank you, Jennifer for answering our questions. We look forward to continuing to read your books, and to work with you in the future.

Obsession by Jennifer L. Armentrout – a Review

Obsession May 31 2013

Links to order Obession: Amazon / Barnes & Noble /  Kobo

Description:
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?

Review:

Obsession by Jennifer L. Armentrout is a standalone book, which takes place in the world of her Lux series.  Obsession is not part of the Lux series, but focuses on an Arum (enemy to the Lux), as the lead.  Wheras, the Lux series is YA, Obsession is an adult book all the way. Jennifer does write erotic romance under the alias of J. Lynn.  But as Jennifer L. Armentrout, Obsession is her sexiest book yet, with a fantastic couple.

We meet our heroine, Serena, early on when she is caught in the middle of seeing her best friend murdered.  She herself survives, but her life is now in danger.  Enter Hunter, our hero, who is assigned to protect her.  Hunter is an Arum. If you are familiar with the Lux series, Arums are the enemy to the Luxen.  But in this book, we get a different perspective, as we see the Arum POV in the eyes of Hunter.  Let me make this perfectly clear, I don’t care how the Luxens feel about the Arums, as Hunter is the most gorgeous and hottest man around. Sigh.. Now I know Daemon is hot, but so far he is stuck in YA. Lol  Hunter is all man, and even Serena can’t keep her eyes, and eventually her hands, off of him.  This was a fabulous romance between an Arum (alien) and a Human. 

Hunter at first wants nothing to do with Serena, as he looks down at humans. But over time he finds himself with feelings he did not know he could have, as he was becoming obsessed with her.  The wonderful thing about this book, besides the sensual steamy sex scenes, was the banter between Hunter and Serena.  He came across early on as arrogant, bossy, sarcastic, but Serena would come back at him full force.  She turned out to be a great heroine, tough, stubborn & feisty, who was a perfect match for Hunter, and it was such fun to see them interact with each other.  Sexually they were awesome together, and I do have to stress again, this book is not for the younger set.

Aside from the romance and sex, this was a great story, with the focus on saving Serena.  There was plenty of action, danger, and edge of your seat suspense. One of the most important part of the story is what Serena was able to find out from her friend, before she died.  This may effect what happens to the Luxens, Arums and Humans in the future. 

Though Armentrout doesn’t talk about our friends from the Lux series,  there is a brief appearance (only those who read the series will know).  What Serena discovers will most likely have a bearing on the Lux series, especially the next book in that series, Origin.

I thoroughly enjoyed Obsession, as it was fun, exciting, wonderful characters, as well as a hot sexy read. If you think the cover is hot, as well as the guy on the cover, oh please read this book.  I cannot wait for Origin, because I will have a different view of the Arums, and I am interested to see how Armentrout handles this.  Even if you have not read the Lux series, please read Obsession, you will not regret it.  Jennifer Armentrout has become one of my favorite writers.  Well done.
