Oh my gosh, you guys!!! I have fallen in love with this series!! 1. Book blogger and avid reader is the MC!! Come on!! 2. Hot guys that are aliens!! 3. Tons, and I do mean tons, of sarcastic comments thrown back and forth <3 4. So much action, suspense, and mystery I COULD NOT PUT THESE BOOKS DOWN!!!
I finished books one and two within a couple days, then I had to study for an exam, but I still couldn't stop! I had to finish them all! They're definitely books you'll find yourself up reading at 3-5AM telling yourself, just a little longer, I don't care if my eyes are burning, I have to know what happens next!! Yes, I did stay up until 5AM, no, I am not ashamed! Yes, I will put individual reviews because I love these books so much, and you will too!!!
Obsidian (Lux, #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout
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.

Review:
Oh man. So I loved this book so much I couldn't stop reading. It was 5AM when I did. I was so close to the end, but my eyes were so blurry I couldn't see the pages anymore! :( I finished it the next morning though, and it was amazing!
I love the main character Katy so much because of a lot of reasons. She's a book lover, blogger, her face turns red all the time (lying, embarrassed, hot guys around!), she's awkward yet sarcastic all the time, I could go on and on. And Daemon! OMG Daemon! He's hot, rude, sweet, sarcastic, full of himself. I went from loving and hating him back and forth through the whole book. Dee is super sweet, you'll love her from the first moment she steps onto the page. This book, I'm telling you guys, you WILL love it! Buy the whole series when you get the first one because I'm glad I did! I can stay in my pjs and continue reading once I finish another book! It's amazing!!!

Onyx (Lux, #2)
Being connected to Daemon Black sucks…
Thanks to his alien mojo, Daemon’s determined to prove what he feels for me is more than a product of our bizarro connection. So I’ve sworn him off, even though he’s running more hot than cold these days. But we’ve got bigger problems.
Something worse than the Arum has come to town…
The Department of Defense are here. If they ever find out what Daemon can do and that we're linked, I’m a goner. So is he. And there's this new boy in school who’s got a secret of his own. He knows what’s happened to me and he can help, but to do so, I have to lie to Daemon and stay away from him. Like that's possible. Against all common sense, I'm falling for Daemon. Hard.
But then everything changes…
I’ve seen someone who shouldn’t be alive. And I have to tell Daemon, even though I know he’s never going to stop searching until he gets the truth. What happened to his brother? Who betrayed him? And what does the DOD want from them—from me?
No one is who they seem. And not everyone will survive the lies…

Review:
This one made me want to slap around the MCs a couple times, but I refrained;) More drama, the stakes are raised and more mystery piled on. I know! There's more?? YES. This one made me cry, a few times!! There's love, loss, betrayal, and so much more. But the writer is amazing and pulls you back into the story you loved in the first one to have you begging for more and more. It gets even better!!!

Opal (Lux, #3)
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 of. 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.
Audience: 13+
Review:
The story keeps building. You don't know who you can trust, if anyone. The stakes are high, but the goal is necessary. They'll do anything to save each other. As they train to get back what is theirs you learn more and more. Each book was one I couldn't put down until I devoured the entire thing! I love that her Blogging stays with her throughout the series <3 There's a lot of heartbreak and love, you will ache for each character, and you will care about each and every one of them.

Origin (Lux, #4)
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?
Audience: 13+
Review:
Intense. The love Daemon has for Katy shows in every action! Don't trust anyone is the lesson. In this book you get to see both Katy and Daemon's perspective, and it gives the full view of what these people are capable of. With learning all of these new secrets, the question is: which story is real? Who can you really trust after so much betrayal already? At the end you're gasping for more, more, more, so you better already have book 5! The last book doesn't disappoint either!!!

Opposition (Lux, #5)
Katy knows the world changed the night the Luxen came.
She can't believe Daemon welcomed his race or stood by as his kind threatened to obliterate every last human and hybrid on Earth. But the lines between good and bad have blurred, and love has become an emotion that could destroy her—could destroy them all.
Daemon will do anything to save those he loves, even if it means betrayal.
They must team with an unlikely enemy if there is any chance of surviving the invasion. But when it quickly becomes impossible to tell friend from foe, and the world is crumbling around them, they may lose everything— even what they cherish most—to ensure the survival of their friends…and mankind.
War has come to Earth. And no matter the outcome, the future will never be the same for those left standing.
Audience: 13+
Review:
This one had me crying! :( Such intense fighting scenes. You're on the edge of your seat the entire book, page after page, wondering what's going to happen next.

I will definitely be recommending to everyone I know!! <3 Beautiful and heart wrenching story all the way through.

Guys!!! This is TRUELY a series you don't want to miss! It is amazing I finished all 5 books in 6 days! I'm lucky I had bought them all at the same time, so I didn't have to wait, I just grabbed the next one off the shelf. I highly recommend doing that, so you're not getting angry when you may have to order the next book!! Each book will leave you wanting the next ASAP!!!
Happy Reading!!
