Book Review: Opposition by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Opposition (Lux #5) by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Genre: Young Adult (Paranormal/Fantasy Romance/Science Fiction)
Date Published: August 5, 2014
Publisher: Entangled Teen

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.

Opposition is the fifth and final book in the Lux series by Jennifer L. Armentrout. Everything we've read in the previous four books has been building up towards this book. There are so many ups and downs throughout the story... never a dull moment. And, I'm talking about big ups and downs.  War is on the horizon. Actually, the war has already started really. Some character's... well their character comes into question. The characters never let you down though. Good or bad, they bring this story to life and keep it alive. I know I've said this before, but having read some of the books from the next series in this world... I can't stress enough how much you need to read this series before the Origin series. I really wish I would have done that, because going into this series, I already knew the futures of some of these characters. Sooo many spoilers. Not that it ruined my enjoyment of the book, because no, I still loved it like crazy. But, not knowing is so much more fun. I'm so glad there are more books that take place in this world with many of these same characters. It's a fictional world I never want to leave!

Book Review: Origin by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Origin (Lux #4) by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Genre: Young Adult (Paranormal/Fantasy Romance/Science Fiction)
Date Published: August 27, 2013
Publisher: Entangled Teen

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?

Origin is the fourth book in the Lux series by Jennifer L. Armentrout. Daemon is a man on a mission, and he has some excellent lines. His intensity is palpable. I love his love for Katy. Their relationship is beautiful. This book isn't all about the romance though. There's so much more. This series s a lot of fun in many ways. Even though I wish I would have completely read this series before starting the Origin series, it's been fun seeing things come together and meeting characters that play bigger roles in those books.There is a lot of action, a lot of revelations. Some folks aren't what they seem. Some are. And that ending? Things are getting real quickly!

Book Review: Opal by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Opal (Lux #3) by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Genre: Young Adult (Paranormal/Fantasy Romance/Science Fiction)
Date Published: December 11, 2012
Publisher: Entangled Teen

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.

Opal is the third book in the Lux series by Jennifer L. Armentroout. So much happens in this book. SO much! I feel like I say that with all the books by this author, but it' so true! We met Luc in this one. If you've started to read the Origin series, you know Luc. If you haven't... dont! Not yet anyway. Read this series first! 

I'm loving Katy and Daemon. Even as a couple, they still give each other grief, and I love that. I love their bantering. But, it's not all fun times. They have gone through some pretty traumatic stuff, and the danger is far from behind them. This series keeps you on your toes. There is always something going on. I love it, and it's fun when you learn why each title is significant
