Review:
Opposition by Jennifer L. Armentrout is the 5th and final book in her wonderful Lux series. Let me start off by saying I have so much respect for Jennifer Armentrout, as a writer, and for giving us such wonderful exciting and befitting end to the Lux series. For anyone who needs a refresher on this series, you can find my earlier reviews under the review tab (Barb’s reviews, Jennifer Armentrout).

When we last left off in Origin, the Luxens had arrived in full force, and Daemon, Dawson and Dee disappeared seemingly to join with the Luxens. At the start of Opposition, Katy waits by the window praying for them to return. Beth is pregnant and only Archer and Luc are there with Katy. With the world being attacked, they needed to stay inside to be safe. But Katy is never one to listen, and she and Archer go out to find some things to help Beth. Of course, Katy is eventually captured, and wakes up surrounded by Luxens. To her shock, she sees a distant Daemon standing by the Luxen leader, as they plan the destruction of the human race, including the hybrids (which she now is). Dee is also mean and unfriendly to Katy. Has Daemon, Dee and Dawson changed, betraying them?

Since I do not want to give spoilers, what follows is an incredibly thrilling action packed story from start to finish. This is a war, and the Luxens, with help from  the traitors are winning this battle. With nowhere to go, and hope slowly evaporating, they must turn to an enemy for an unlikely truce. I loved when Katy, losing her temper, angrily goes into a tirade; since the beginning of time, there have always been differences, & hate throughout the world. But when there is a common enemy they will join hands; when all is said and done, they can go back to being enemies. Katy has grown so much in this series, and in Opposition, she turned into a kick-assed heroine. Perfect for our Daemon. I loved that Jennifer gave us a glimpse of Hunter again. Very cool.

The Lux series may be considered YA, but make no mistake, this series is a wonderful read for everyone. Jennifer Armentrout not only gives us a believable story of aliens living as humans in our world, but she has given us a fabulous young couple, whom we spent the entire series totally invested in what happens to them. Armentrout also gives us such wonderful secondary characters that we can worry, cry, or laugh with. Daemon & Katy were one of the best young couples in any YA or NA world, as they were so perfect together, not to mention totally hot. Ohhhh we will miss our Daemon.

Again, I must say that when I was anticipating reading Opposition, I was worried. After what happened in another series that I loved by another author, I was scared what will happen here. But thank you thank you, Jennifer, you have made me so happy. Opposition had such an awesome ending that allowed us to be happily content to move on. That’s not to say that I hope one day, when she is not buried with all the books she writes, she can write a novella giving us an update to the lives of Daemon, Katy, and all their friends who survived this epic adventure. Bravo Jennifer! This was a fantastic ride, and Opposition was a classic thriller, with an epic ending.

Excerpt

Katy

I still stared at Daemon, completely aware that everyone else except him was watching me. Closely. But why wouldn’t he look at me? A razor-sharp panic clawed at my insides. No. Thiscouldn’t be happening. No way.
My body was moving before I even knew what I was doing.

From the corner of my eye, I saw Dee shake her head and one of the Luxen males step forward, but I was propelled by an inherent need to prove that my worst fears were not coming true.

After all, he’d healed me, but then I thought of what Dee had said, of how Dee had behaved with me. What if Daemon was like her? Turned into something so foreign and cold? He would’ve healed me just to make sure he was okay.

I still didn’t stop.
 Please, I thought over and over again. Please. Please. Please. On shaky legs, I crossed the long room, and even thoughDaemon hadn’t seemed to even acknowledge my existence, I walked right up to him, my hands trembling as I placed them on his chest.

 “Daemon?” I whispered, voice thick.

 His head whipped around, and he was suddenly staring down at me. Our gazes collided once more, and for a second I saw something so raw, so painful in those beautiful eyes. And then his large hands wrapped around my upper arms. The contact seared through the shirt I wore, branding my skin, and I thought—I expected—that he would pull me against him, that he would embrace me, and even though nothing would be all right, it would be better.

Daemon’s hands spasmed around my arms, and I sucked in an unsteady breath.

His eyes flashed an intense green as he physically lifted me away from him, setting me back down a good foot back.

I stared at him, something deep in my chest cracking. “Daemon?”

He said nothing as he let go, one finger at a time, it seemed, and his hands slid off my arms. He stepped back, returning his attention to the man behind the desk.

“So . . . awkward,” murmured the redhead, smirking.

I was rooted to the spot in which I stood, the sting of rejection burning through my skin, shredding my insides like I was nothing more than papier-mâché.

“I think someone was expecting more of a reunion,” the Luxen male behind the desk said, his voice ringing with amusement. “What do you think, Daemon?”

One shoulder rose in a negligent shrug. “I don’t think anything.”

My mouth opened, but there were no words. His voice, his tone, wasn’t like his sister’s, but like it had been when we first met. He used to speak to me with barely leashed annoyance, where a thin veil of tolerance dripped from every word.The rift in my chest deepened.
 For the hundredth time since the Luxen arrived, SergeantDasher’s warning came back to me. What side would Daemon and his family stand on? A shudder worked its way down my spine. I wrapped my arms around myself, unable to truly process what had just happened.

“And you?” the man asked. When no one answered, he tried again. “Katy?”

I was forced to look at him, and I wanted to shrink back from his stare. “What?” I was beyond caring that my voice broke on that one word.

The man smiled as he walked around the desk. My gaze flickered over to Daemon as he shifted, drawing the attention of the beautiful redhead. “Were you expecting a more personal greeting?” he asked. “Perhaps something more intimate?”

I had no idea how to answer. I felt like I’d fallen into the rabbit hole, and warnings were firing off left and right. Something primal inside me recognized that I was surrounded by predators.

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.

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.

Opal by Jennifer Armentrout – a Review

Opal by Jennifer Armentrout – a Review

 

Opal cover

Opal by Jennifer Armentrout is the third book in her Lux series.  Upfront I have to say as much as I enjoyed the first two book, amazingly Opal’s storyline continues to flow smoothly and it’s just as good or better.  I love this series.  Of course, getting to spend more time with Daemon, Katy, Dee and their friends, is fun and Jennifer Armentrout does it again. 

Opal picks up after the end of Onyx, and we get to learn more about Dawson.  Daemon, Katy, Dee, and their friends walk on eggshells around Dawson, who is still disturbed a bit, and still anxious to find a way to rescue Beth.  This is the theme of Opal, working on finding a way to get through the spells and barriers blocking their attempts at rescue. 

This story is non stop action throughout the entire book.  Along the way, surprisingly we meet up with some of the villains from Onyx, Blake and Will.  But the story focuses on Daemon and Katy, who are so great together, and I love their scenes.  Though it is very minimal, Armentrout rises the ante by making their loves scenes more steamy, but also some humor during their attempts to go further.  Katy is so much stronger in this book, as she has learned to use her powers. 

We also get to see more of Dee, her reactions to both Daemon and Katy, for what she perceives as betrayal, in not telling her more prior to Adam’s death.  As the danger increases, especially for Katy, Dee does loosen up.  I did love their friendship together, and want that to go back to the way they were.

Dawson is a wonderful element in this story, seeing them begin to work together, and Katy trying to help him come to terms with his anger and guilt.  Armentrout has created a wonderful group of characters in this series. 

The last third of the book was extremely exciting, and very tense.  Danger, betrayal, play such a big part in this book.  The ending of the book was awesome, and scary.  I have to end this with saying to Jennifer Armentrout…I am not a happy camper after I finished this book, as I did not sleep that night.   I so hate cliffhangers, and this one is a heartstopper.  Having to wait 6 months for the next book in this series, Orgin, I will have to pass the time by throwing darts at Jennifer.  🙂

Onyx by Jennifer L. Armentrout – a Review

Onyx by Jennifer L. Armentrout – a Review

Onyx by Jennifer L. Armentrout is the second book in her  Lux series.  Upfront I have to say as much as I enjoyed Obsidian, Onyx is better.  I loved this book.  Of course, getting to spend more time with Daemon, Katy, Dee and their friends, is fun and Jennifer Armentrout outdoes herself.

Onyx picks up not long after Obsidian ended.  Katy Swarz still has the hots for Daemon Black, but as Onyx begins,  Daemon wants Katy just as much.  Instead of being the rude and nasty boy, who constantly pushed her away in Obsidian, Daemon has changed his tactics.  He is attentive to her, acts in front of everyone like she is his girl, sweet talks to her, and totally throws Katy for a loop.  She doesn’t know how to react to this new Daemon, and it confuses her even more.  Katy wants a normal life, with a normal boy, and a relationship just like her mother and father had.   In Obsidian, Katy was healed by Daemon, and a connection was born between them.  This will play a major part in Onyx, but early on, Katy brushes off the change in Daemon due to that connection.

Katy meets a new boy in school, Blake Saunders, who seems like a nice guy, and it doesn’t hurt that he looks like a gorgeous blond California surfer. Blake likes Katy, and a friendship begins.  This of course doesn’t sit well with Daemon.  It’s fun to watch Daemon spend all his time with Katy, even if she wants to go out to dinner with Blake, whom she still considers a friend.  Daemon is unresistable, his green eyes, his mischievous grin, and Katy just cannot resist him, as much as she tries.  Their is sexual tension between them, but it was fun to watch their steamy kissing sessions, which Daemon says is needed to remove her trace.  Yeah sure…:)  Did I mention how swoonworthy, Daemon is?

But the change in Daemon is real, we the reader know he loves Katy, and of course Katy loves him, but it wouldn’t be fun, if this relationship was fast and easy.   But it is enjoyable and Armentrout has a lot of humor in this tense story.

Onyx is not just about the romance of Daemon & Katy.  This is such an exciting and tense story.  Filled with lots of action, and danger throughout the whole book.  Early on Katy begins to discover that she has inherited some strange abilities, and realizes that this is from the connection she has with Daemon.  At first, Katy tries to keep it a secret, but both Daemon and Blake accidently see Katy’s new abilities.  During an attack, out on a date with Blake, she discovers that Blake also has some powers.  We learn a lot more about the humans who gain powers from connections given to them due to a Luxen healing them.  We also learn more about the DOD, & other factions who may be interested in Katy, and because of this, Blake starts to train Katy how to control her new abilities, much to Daemon’s chagrin.   Daemon and Blake do not hit it off, as Daemon is jealous at first.  But during some training sessions, Daemon tries to tell Katy he doesn’t trust Blake.  Katy ignores that as jealousy and continues to train, as she wants to learn how to defend herself and help her friends (Luxens), against the Arum and others who keep coming after them.

Katy soon begins to realize that her love for Daemon is so strong, she will do anything to save him and his friends.  Along the way, she makes some decisions she feels she must do, and there will be consequences.  This book is so much more exciting, with a lot of action and danger then Obsidian was.  There are a number twists, betrayals, and surprises as we race to the climatic finish.  So much so that lives will be lost, all will be effected, and changes will be made. The ending was not a cliffhanger, but wow.  This is a book you can’t put down, as it is so exciting.  If you loved Daemon, Katy and Dee in Obsidian, you will love them even more in this book. Kudos to Jennifer Armentrout for this sensational continuation of this series, and I for one cannot wait for the next book.

Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout – a Review

Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout – a Review

Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout is the first book in her Lux series.  This is another YA series, and it is a very good one. No vampires, no werewolves, no ghosts, no angels….this one is about aliens who pose as humans, and wow they are all gorgeous. 

Aside from that, this is an excellent start of this series. 

Katy is our heroine in this story, and when you finish this book, you will love her.  She is such a normal 17 year old girl, a book lover & blogger lol, and she has the misfortune to have to leave her life in Florida to move with her mother to a small town in West Virginia, where some people are strange, or perhaps they think she is the strange one.  Almost from the start we get to meet Katy’s next door neighbors, .Daemon and his twin sister Dee.

When Katy knocks on her neighbor’s door, it is Daemon who opens the door…and Katy openly stares at the gorgeous hot young man, who is standing there half naked. But the beautiful Daemon immediately turns off Katy, with his sarcastic rudeness.  She meets Dee later, and they become fast friends.  But Katy and Daemon have a tense early relationship, though there is an attraction on her part; but he is nasty, mean and rude to her all the time; a complete opposite from Dee, who is sweet and ultra friendly with Katy.  

Katy manages to match Daemon with rebuttals to his sarcasm, much to his humor.  I loved that Katy stood up to him, and didn’t take his arrogant infuriating crap.  But Daemon did have charm, when he wanted to show it, and it totally confused Katy.  She never knew which Daemon she was going to face.  At times he was such a jerk, as she loved calling him, and other times, he showed a gentler nicer side.  He was hotness personified, and Katy had a hard time keeping her composure. Daemon does push her buttons, and it was a funny scene at the school lunchroom, when in front of everyone, she dumps a plate of spaghetti over Daemon and the girl with him, after a nasty comment.   Very funny and you find yourself cheering her on.    

Daemon, Dee and many in the town are not human.  They are aliens (Luxen), who are made of light, and take a normal human pose.  They always keep that look, but can shift to the light only in true form. Their planet was destroyed many years ago, and those that came to earth, learned to survive and keep their secret from other humans.  They for the most part are the good guys, as there are bad aliens (Arum), who want to kill the Lux, to steal their essence. 

Daemon does save Katy twice from danger, and as she becomes closer to Daemon, she begins to see things, like the light, speed, and other signs.  The last was the way he saved her life, and she forces him to tell her the truth.  To know about them is dangerous for Katy, as the Arum will find her by her trace of being with them, and torture her to tell them where they are, or from the government, who want to keep the Lux aliens a secret.  The bottom line was a relationship between a human and Lux is taboo.

The end was exciting, as Katy, Daemon and Dee are in a fight for their lives.  This story was a great read.  It had a super romance between the two leads, despite Daemon’s early rudeness, as their chemistry was hot.  The alien storyline was different then the norm we are used to, and it worked so well.  Jennifer Armentrout did a great job putting the pieces together to create this story, and showed a wonderful sense of humor.  She also brought in some good characters, and I loved Dee’s friendship with Katy. I must say that early on, when reading this story, which part is in the high school, made me think of Twilight.  The ending is open ended, as we must wait for the next book to continue the saga of Daemon and Katy and the rest of the Luxens. i personally cannot wait to continue this series.
