I knew the moment Katy Swartz moved in
next door, there was going to be trouble. Lots of it.
And trouble’s the last thing I need,
since I’m not exactly from around here. My people arrived on Earth from Lux, a
planet thirteen billion light years away. Plus, if there’s one thing I know,
it’s that humans can’t be trusted. We scare them. We can do things they only
dream about, and honestly, we make them look weak as hell. ‘Cuz they are.
But Kat is getting to me in ways no one
else has, and I can't stop myself from wanting her—or wanting to use my powers
to protect her. She makes me weak, and I’m the strongest of our kind, tasked
with protecting us all. So this one simple girl…she can mean the end for us.
Because the Luxen have an even bigger enemy—the Arum, and I need to stay on my
game.
Falling for Katy—a human—won't just
place her in danger. It could get us all killed, and that’s one thing I’ll
never let happen...
It is no secret
Jennifer L. Armentrout writes the men that make my heart melt and out of all of
them Daemon Black takes the cake. The Lux series has been one of my favorites
for ages and I am ashamed to say I haven't finished it yet. So when I heard
Oblivion would be released and the ebook would be 1000 pages of Deamon's
perspective from the first THREE books,
I practically broke my mouse preordering a physical and ebook copy. This turned
out to be a great way to recap the story so I could finally read the final two
books and read from Daemon's perspective.
Somehow I forget
how addictive Armentrout's writing is and am surprised when I cannot put her
books down. Oblivion was no exception. Deamon's perspective of Katy is
fascinating to read. I loved his version of events and seeing his character
evolve over the first three books in the series. I was fangirling all over the
place and I can't help it. Daemon is sexy that's his whole appeal. I've
established he would be a great boyfriend for me as well since I love ghost
hunting shows and books. Seriously Daemon Black is one of my top book
boyfriends.
So if I loved this
so much, why only four stars?
There were quite a
few editing mistakes I picked up on during the Obsidian section of the ebook,
but in Onyx and Opal it didn't seem to be as big of a problem. Usually I don't pick up on that too much, but
it really caught my attention in book one. At the beginning the writing seemed
a little stiff and it felt like it took some time for Armentrout to hit her
stride with Daemon's POV, but then the flow of the story took over.
Overall it all
worked really well and I enjoyed this version of events immensely. I'm so happy
this was released. Thank you to Jennifer L. Armentrout for working hard to make
sure this was published. It is nice to have even more of this world and these characters to enjoy.
Happy Reading!
