Opal by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Finally! After declaring Onyx (the second book in the Lux series) as one of the best books I've read, I was excited to get my hands on Opal! Jennifer L. Armentrout definitely proved to us that she's a great author.

In Obsidian, we discovered a whole new world filled with Luxen. In Onyx, we became an even bigger fan of Daemon Black. In Opal, we see a whole new side of Daemon Black.

I really didn't know what to expect after reading the ending of Onyx. We discovered that one of the characters was alive and that things are definitely becoming serious and crazy. Blake, who's now an annoying and creepy character, returns in Opal, much to my disappointment. He's downright creepy and when he first returned, I literally looked up and asked myself "why?". Why did I ever consider this guy as a good character when I first met him in Onyx?

I love the series, but I thought this book was somewhat disappointing (thought still awesome). Ms. Armentrout took things slow and I felt like she did this so that readers would also see the strain in Katy's friendship with Dee, Dawson's progression, and Daemon's softer side. I think she did a great job of showing how difficult it is for Dee and Katy to go back to being the friends they were because of the whole Adam thing. It wouldn't have been believable if they easily became friends again after what happened. Dawson was great and I liked how Katy dealt with the situation. Daemon was just being Daemon. Overall, the book wasn't bad and the plot was interesting and thrilling. I liked both the hero and the heroine. Katy is definitely a strong character, but there were moments when I just wanted to slam her head against a wall. Her relationship with Daemon also develops and gets a little more intense (if that's even possible). I strongly recommend this book to fans of reading, YA, Romance, and Jennifer L. Armentrout!

Still a great series and I don't regret reading it!

The ending was a bit of a cliffhanger... I don't want to ruin it for you!

The next book in the series is Origin and I believe it won't be out until July 2013!!!

Jennifer L. Armentrout has confirmed that the next 2 books will be in Daemon's and Katy's POVs!

Onyx by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Just finished reading this book a couple of minutes ago... and all I can say is: AMAZING! Hands down, feet down, face down amazing. Onyx did not disappoint and it was definitely better than the first book! The relationship between Daemon and Katy was sizzling hot and amazing. They are literally meant for one another. Onyx starts off where Obsidian left off, and readers get to see a different side of Daemon that will make them love him even more.

There are more action and mystery in this book which made it even more interesting and kept me on my toes. I couldn't keep my eyes off the book and I literally could not get off my butt unless I finished reading the book and finally find out what happened to Daemon's brother and who the traitors are! Honestly, I was not expecting much out of this book because I wasn't interested in the idea of aliens as the main subject, but after reading this, I love aliens.

Daemon is an amazing character. He's rude, sweet, funny, arrogant, hot, protective, and powerful. The book is pretty much centered on Daemon and Katy's relationship and how they overcome the problems that they'll face. I loved Katy. She's an awesome character even if there were times when I wanted to smack her because she can't make a decision, but other than that her character was great. The chemistry between Daemon and Katy is just off the charts and they're definitely a great pair.

I loved how Katy matured in this book. She wasn't whiny which was definitely great. Her wit, attitude, and strength just makes her who she is, and are what makes her such an interesting character. You can never go wrong with a hot male character and a strong, witty female character put together in one sizzling book about aliens.

I recommend this book to fans of romance, YA, aliens, action, mystery, thriller. All I'll say is this: just read it.

I can't wait for the next book in the series, Opal, which is releasing on December 11!!!! I can honestly say that I don't regret deciding to read this series when I was really bored.
