Re-read: 21.05.2018 Fifth and final book about alien/Luxen, Daemon Black (18) and the hybrid, Katy ‘Kat’ ‘Kitten’ Ann Swartz (18). Luxen has arrived on Earth and it taking over the world fast. Killing humans everywhere and taking their DNA's. Daemon and his group must do everything they can to stop the Luxen from dominating the world, including working with their enemies. Overall, I'm glad I'm done with the re-read. I probably shouldn't have started it.... I still feel the same about the ending; I don't feel like we get enough of a closure. I needed more, and I still do. The book is filled with action, barely any relax time and heartbreak, loss, love and friendship. Kinda got it all, yet I'm degrading it. Yup, I'm so screwed: I've changed too damn much. Rarely do I love a book these days :/
“And we are trying to fix it,” General Eaton responded. “Unless you all have something we haven’t thought of, there is no other option.” “I don’t know.” I pressed my fingers to my temples. “We really could use the Avengers right about now.” “Screw that. We need Loki,” Daemon retorted. General Eaton arched a brow. “Well, unfortunately, the Marvel universe isn’t real, so . . .”

“Kat.” He uttered my name like it was some kind of prayer, and then he pressed a kiss against the skin behind my ear. “I broke every rule of my kind to heal you and keep you with me. I … burned down an entire city to keep you safe. I’ve killed for you. Did you think I’d forget what you mean to me? That anything in this world— in any world— would be stronger than my love for you?”

Second re-read: 20.05.2018 Fourth book about our favorite alien, Daemon Black (18) and the now hybrid, Katy ‘Kat’ ‘Kitten’ Ann Swartz (18). Katy got captured while the group was on a rescue mission for Beth. Beth they got out, Blake got his way, but Katy is now being held by The DOD/Daedalus and Daemon is desperate to get her back. Desperate to do anything - including turning himself in. There's also the fact that nothing is all black and white.
“I don’t know.” “What?” She burrowed closer, tucking her fingers against the collar of my shirt. Throwing my arm around her waist, I took what felt like the first real breath in weeks. “If I had a Mogwai, I’d totally feed it after midnight. That Mohawk gremlin was a badass.” She laughed again, the sound tinkling inside me, and I felt about a thousand pounds lighter. “Why doesn’t that surprise me?” she said. “You’d totally bond with the gremlin.” “What can I say? It’s my sparkling personality.”
Overall, the series - including this book - isn't as good as I remember it was. Sure, it's still interesting and worth reading, but it's no longer a favorite series of mine. I've changed too much; the book/series is almost too...immature for me. (Katy has, sadly, been taken from my ‘favorite female character’ shelf and this book had been taken away from my ‘favorites’ shelf. I went back and forth with myself about removing Daemon as well, but decided against it. He's still awesome.
I refused to fight them—to beat up on them or potentially kill them if things got out of hand. It was like being in a real, albeit messed-up, version of The Hunger Games. The Hunger Games for alien hybrids.
The Origin Project: - Is Daedalus’s greatest achievement - It started as an accident more than forty years ago. It began with one and has grown to more than a hundred as of now. - Forty years ago the Daedalus had a Luxen male and a female hybrid who he had mutated. They were young and in love, allowed to see each other, and at some point during their stay with them, the female became pregnant. - Back then, the Daedalus didn’t test for hormones related to pregnancy. It is very difficult for a Luxen to conceive with another, so it hadn't crossed the Daedalus minds that one would be able to conceive with a human, hybrid or not. - The origin; a new beginning: the origin of the perfect species. Powers beyond anything else. More powerful than a Luxen or a hybrid. Can read minds, can heal (but not mutate), can withstand Onyx, high IQ, ect.
Reading my new name for a third time, I still couldn’t believe it. Something about this name was familiar. “Anna Whitt?” Dee bounced a little. “I picked the names.” Things started to click into place. “What’s yours, Daemon?” He flipped his billfold open and snickered. “Kaidan Rowe. Hmm. That has a nice ring to it.” My mouth dropped open as I twisted toward Dee. “You picked names from a book!” She giggled. “I thought you’d like that. Besides, Sweet Evil is one of my favorites, and you made me read it, so…”
Other characters: ↦ Dee Black (18), Daemon's sister and becomes Katy's friend. Dawson Black (18), their brother. They are triplets, Dawson disappeared a year ago. Daemon and Dawson were/are completely identical, like the two Thompson boys. All Luxen. Dawson comes back in the end of book two. ↦ Kellie Swartz, Katy's mother. ↦ Matthew Garrison, (around 38), Katy's bio teacher and ‘friend’ of the Black's. A Luxen.

Blake kills Adam when he and Dee tries to save Katy in second book. (view spoiler)[An Arum kills Andrew at the end of the book. Ash gets killed as well by The PEP (a gun of sorts that kill Luxen).

They are the The Department of Defense (DOD) or the Suits that Katy call them. Turns out that Vaughn is Blake's uncle and Blake works for the DOD unwillingly. Daemon kills Vaughn at the end of book two. ↦ Luc (under 15?), a hybrid and a kid. Seems like a brat, and is a genuis? His Luxen (?), Paris. (view spoiler)[Turns out that Luc is an origin. Paris dies at the end of the book. Daedalus kills him. (hide spoiler)] ↦ Elder Ethan White; Elders are like the mayors and presidents of the Luxen communities. Ethan is their president. ↦ Archer, a guard at Area 51 where Katy - and later Daemon - is being held by Daedalus. (view spoiler)[Is an origin.

Second re-read: 19.05.2018 Third book about our favorite alien, Daemon Black (18) and the now hybrid, Katy ‘Kat’ ‘Kitten’ Ann Swartz (18). Daemon's brother, Dawson is back, yet he's no longer the same. His other half, Beth, is still with The DOD—or Daedalus, a group supposedly within the DOD—who had made it their mission to use Luxens to successfully mutate humans. Sometimes it worked. Sometimes it didn’t. And Dawson needs to get her back. So now the groups is working up a plan to break her out, and in that plan is the traitor Blake—who is blackmailing Daemon and Katy.
A slow, wry smile teased Daemon’s lips. “Simmer down, Kitten, before I have to get you a ball of yarn to play with.”
Overall, this book is better than the second book; it's full of action, sadness, healing, love and friendship. About finding strength in others. I like that you get to see development towards the characters, though of course, it's sad to see them changed for the worse. Blake is a strongly hated character for me, and I hope he dies painfully. I don't care how many excuses he has; he's a fucking horrible person. I also dislike how, when Daemon is supposedly supposed to be the most powerful Luxen, can Blake (and Luc) seems so much stronger than him? It just doesn't work for me. That ending still kills me though... (Note, Katy has been taken away from my ‘favorite female character’ shelf, and the book has been taken away from my ‘favorite’ shelf.)
His eyes searched mine. “Thank you.” “For what?” I loved the feel of his arms around me and how I fit against him, hard against soft. He trailed his fingers over my arm, and I was amazed by how he could make me shiver. “For everything,” he said. Elation swelled inside my chest, and as we lay in each other’s arms, our breaths coming out ragged, our bodies tangled together, we still couldn’t get enough of each other. We kissed. We talked. We lived.

Is being controlled by the DOD. ↦ Lesa and Carissa, classmates of Katy's who befriends her. Humans. (view spoiler)[Carissa becomes Mutated without anyone knowing; she snaps, tries to kill Katy and Combusted. Dead. (hide spoiler)] ↦ Dr. William ‘Will’ Michaels, who starts dating Katy's mom. Turns out to be an informant for DOD; turned in Dawson and his nephew, Bethany. Kidnaps Katy to make Daemon heal her. ↦ Blake Saunders, a boy who takes interest in Katy. Turns out he's Mutated, like Katy. His Luxen is Chris who is being held to make Blake cooperative. He's a horrible person, who makes excuses. I hope Blake dies. Painfully. ↦ Nancy Husher, She’s apparently a big deal within the DOD. Brian Vaughn He’s known Daemon’s family for several years.

“You haven't been smiling much. I missed it, so I decided to reward you for doing it.” “Reward me?” I laughed. “God, only you would think kissing someone is a reward.” “You know it is. My lips change lives, baby.”

Armentrout, how can you do this to me??!! How dare you end the book like that? I'm crying and crying and crying!!! I need the next book NOW !! My baby Daemon!! Ohh sweet lord jesus! I think I'm going to die.. like right now !!
“You're amazing.” “I know it didn't take you this long to realize that.” “No. I've always known it.” I watched him root around for another strawberry. “Maybe not in the beginning...” He peeked up. “My awesomeness is all about the stealth.”
Jennifer keeps up the fantastic writing, and she keeps surprising me.. and she puts all these feelings and emotions inside me... I just love how she writes this series!! It amazing! ‘Opal’ has it all, just like the other books in the series.. My emotions where all over the place, and I need more!!! This book deserves all 5 stars!!!!!! ‘Lux’'s series is perfect!
He rolled his eyes. "You just like me for my body. Admit it." "Well, yeah..." His lashes lifted and his eyes glittered like jewels. "I feel like man-candy”
The characters keeps blowing me. Katy keeps growing on me, she becoming my one of my favorite characters of all books I've read in my life. I just love how strong she is, how brave and lovable.. I adore her! Daemon,, my lovely Daemon... I LOVE YOU!!!! I'm pretty sure I'll dream about you tonight, dude... I love him, he's the perfect character! I need more of him!! He's like one of my favorite male characters of all time, I loved him since the start, and it's just growing!! I NEED NEXT BOOK NOW!! I'm trying to hold my tears in the end..

Second re-read: 18.05.2018 Second book about our favorite alien, Daemon Black (18) and the human, Katy ‘Kat’ ‘Kitten’ Ann Swartz (17, turns 18). A connection has formed between the two, a powerful bond, a bond that makes them always know when the other is around. Katy is afraid of the bond; what does it mean? Is it making Daemon suddenly want her? Then there's the strange things that are happening around Katy; she's moving things. Without her hands. On top of that there's a new boy in town and the DOD is there. What if they find out about the bond?
“I could always give you a teaser. You bookish people love teasers, don't you?”
[image] ↥ The gif pretty much describes my face from reading the book from the beginning to the end. Overall, the re-read was alright. I'm surprised at how little I actually cared for the book. It used to be one of my favorites. Katy actually annoyed me; the way she keeps pushing Daemon away and trusting Blake.... I don't like it. She's so naive and stupid in this book that I kinda felt like slapping her. I understand her points, but she went the wrong way doing it. I'm sad to say that the rating has gone down pretty much. It has now lost two stars from me and been taken away from my ‘favorite’ shelf. Perhaps I should've never started re-reading the series yet again... Still love Daemon though.
“Kitten,” he said again, voice strained. “You don’t get to do that and then stop. That’s not how it works.” I stared at him, my breath stalling in my lungs. “Not when you’re mine.” Daemon backed us up and slid down the wall, pulling me onto his lap so I was straddling him. “And you’re mine.”
[image] Facts about the Mutated: When Katy got healed by Daemon, she got Mutated (hybrids); meaning she gained some of his powers. Mutated are just as strong as the Luxen —even stronger in some cases. The only thing is, they tire out a lot quicker and it takes them longer to recharge, so to speak. “The connection between a human and a Luxen after a massive healing is unbreakable at a cellular level. It marries the two together. One cannot survive if the other perishes.”. The Arum can sense the Mutated better than they can the Luxen. It’s the DNA thing. Luxen have a built-in cloaking in their DNA. Mutated don’t. The connection—whatever it is that they do to them—doesn’t force them to feel anything. It just makes them close to who healed them. It’s stronger than a familial bond, but not sexual or even emotional on that kind of level. How strong the Luxen is who heals you is an indication of how much stronger you’ll be. The power and limitations are linked to who heal them.
“That was fun. When do you do another?” “Next week if I get more books.” “More books.” His eyes went wide. “You have, like, ten books you just said you haven’t read.” “Doesn’t mean I won’t get more books.” I smiled at his incredulous expression. “I haven’t been able to read a lot lately, but I will, and then I won’t be out of anything new to read.”

Daemon took a step back as though I’d hit him. “That was the wrong thing to say.” His face turned hard, his eyes like glaciers. The coldness radiating from him chilled me to the bone. He’d never looked more detached. “I’m done.”

I still love this series and I'm sure in the future I'll be re-reading this series yet again xp Still giving it 5 stars. [image] First read: 09.06.13 Damn it, I love this book just as I loved the first one! ‘Onyx’ by Jennifer L. Armentrout keep the readers really satisfied, I must say. She's a fantastic author! The book has it all, jealousy, love, friendship, action, betrayal, and we mustn't forget sexy, hot, shirtless Daemon Black!!! I give this book 5 stars!
The characters are still fantastic, and I love them more and more! Specially Daemon, though it shouldn't be possible to love him more xp He's just perfect!!! We meet a new character named Blake, he seemed awesome at first, but there was always something off with him... I'm glad Katy didn't fall for him, but I must admit it was a bit nice to see how Daemon reacted to seeing the girl he loves with another boy he really disliked... It was adorable watching him being jealous... Sweet lovely Dee, is as awesome as always, though we didn't get to see her a lot...hope we get to see more of her in the third book. Katy is getting better and better! I actually can relate to her and that make me love her more! :) I love that we got see, in the end, Daemon's POV.. I wish it was more from his POV, but we take what we get.. :D ! I can't wait to continue reading Katy and Daemon's story!...more

Second re-read: 16.05.2018 The book centers around our favorite alien, Daemon Black (17?) and the human, Katy ‘Kat’ ‘Kitten’ Swartz (17). Why I decided to re-read this one, I have no clue. But I can't find anything else to read, so why not read something you already have read. Sure, I'm terrified that I won't like it anymore - considering me and YA don't get alone - but, I had to read something... Overall, it was nice to be back in this world. The characters are still great, the story is still pretty interesting and the plot is nice. It's safe to say that this is still one of my most liked series (YA) and that I'll probably re-read it again some time in the future. One cannot go long with out Daemon...
“I’ve always found that the most beautiful people, truly beautiful inside and out, are the ones who are quietly unaware of their effect.” His eyes searched mine intently, and for a moment we stood there toe to toe. “The ones who throw their beauty around, waste what they have? Their beauty is only passing. It’s just a shell hiding nothing but shadows and emptiness.” I did the most inappropriate thing possible. I laughed. “I’m sorry, but that was the most thoughtful thing I’ve ever heard you say. What alien ship took the Daemon I know away, and can I ask them to keep him?” He scowled. “I was being honest.”
[image] About The Arum: ⇉ Lux, Daemon's planet was destroyed by the Arum. (“The Arum?” Then I got it. “Dark? Right? Are those the people that are out to like steal your abilities?”) They’re their enemies. Pretty much the only enemies of the Luxen besides humans, if they decided to stop being kosher with them being here. The Arum are like them—only opposite, coming from their sister planet. They destroyed their home. Dee's mom used to tell her a bedtime story that when the universe was formed it was filled with the purest light, shining so brightly it made the shadows envious. The Arum are the children of the shadows, jealous and determined to suffocate all light in the universe, not realizing for one to exist so must the other. Many Luxen feel that every time an Arum is killed, a light in the universe fades away. It’s the only thing she remember about her mother. ⇇
“Kat?” Drawing in a deep breath, I faced him. “What?” A smile parted his lips. “You do realize I love a challenge?” I laughed under my breath and turned back to the front door, giving him a one-fingered salute. “So do I, Daemon. So do I.”
[image] Other characters: ↦ Dee Black, Daemon's sister and becomes Katy's friend. Dawson Black, their brother. They are triplets, Dawson disappeared a year ago. Daemon and Dawson were/are completely identical, like the two Thompson boys. ↦ Kellie Swartz, Katy's mother. ↦ Matthew Garrison, (late twenties, early thirties), Katy's bio teacher and ‘friend’ of the Black's. ↦ Ash Thompson and her two brothers, Adam Thompson and Andrew Thompson.

Simon Cutters, a human boy at school who seems to have a crush on Katy; asked her to the homecoming. Daemon acts a little jealous...
Quickly, I turned back to Dee. She looked oblivious to it all, or maybe she was trying real hard to ignore it. Tension clotted the air. It was like an invisible line had been drawn somewhere and I’d skipped right over it. I could feel all of them, dozens of eyes, settling on me. All of their gazes filled with distrust and an emotion far, far worse. Fear.

“You don't look like an alien!" It seemed important to point that out. He arched a brow. 'And what do aliens look like?" "Not...not like you,' I sputtered. 'They aren't gorgeous--" "You think I'm gorgeous?" He smiled.”
[image] [image] First read: 09.06.13 Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout was INCREDIBLE! I loved ever single page in the book! I must admit, this book was probably one of my favorite book I've read! I definitely give this book 5 stars!
“Beautiful face. Beautiful body. Horrible attitude. It was the holy trinity of hot boys.”
Katy is an awesome character! She's sweet, kind and have a strong will and heart. I adore her. She's been through a lot, loosing her father, the moving to West Virginia to start over with her mom. And ends up in even more danger when she meets her neighbors Dee and Daemon Black. Katy becomes really close to Dee, and Daemon hates it. Daemon is one sexy hot piece of an ass! He and Katy DON'T get along, though it's pretty obvious that they so got the hots for each other but refusing to admit it.. It was so frustrating to read and so exiting! Something happen all the time and I love the story! Daemon is powerful, overprotective brother and I'm in love! I couldn't stop reading this book. Once I started it, I just had to finish it... I can't wait to read book #2!! I hope it's just a great as this one! :D Rating: 5 +++ stars
