About a month ago I was just searching for something new and exciting reading-material and I came across Jennifer L. Armentrout's Lux-series. I ordered the first book called "Obsidian". Now I cannot wait for the fourh one to come out next year. Needless to say, I'm hooked.
I got addicted to Lux-series almost immediately. There's everything great books need; good plot, romance, action, comedy, feelings crashing all over the place, and of course I don't mind Daemon;) He's honestly one of the hottest and sweetest guys in the books I've read this year(or maybe ever). I just wish there were more guys like him. Armentrout did fantastic job writing these.
In "Obsidian", the main character Katy, moves from Florida to a small town in West Virginia. She runs a blog that is all about her book obsession.(sounds familiar, eh?) After her father's death, she and her mom wanted a clean start.
Katy moves next door to twins. Dee and Katy become friends over the summer and as the school year kicks off, sparks fly between Katy and Dee's extremely hot and douchebagey brother Daemon. Daemon wants Katy to stay away from him and Dee but doesn't explain why. Confused and angry, Katy of course doesn't listen, and everything seems to lead towards an inevitable crash. After some time, Katy finds out the twins secret and wants to help and protect them to keep them save. Even though Katy and Daemon don't get along that well, she does care about him(and vice versa).
The second book "Onyx" builds up the relationship between Daemon and Katy. Now that Katy knows about hiskind, they will both make sure that no one finds out about Katy. In "Onyx" Daemon shows more of his real intentions and caring nature. Katy seems to think "this might actually work between us". While trying to live the normal life, lots of abnormalities happen. Is Daemon right about Blake? What is worse than the Arum? Could Dawson still be alive? What about Beth?
The third book is called "Opal". Feelings are building up in this one. Now that Daemon and Katy are officially dating and still trying to hide their secrets, everything seems unreal. Dawson, finding Beth, Blake and Will. Something's not right. Where is the beloved DOD? Who can they trust? Daemon seems to be torn apart on who is more important to him, his family and hiskind or Katy. Katy wants Daemon to understand she can defend herself. Why doesn't she get that Daemon just wants the best for her?
Even though Katy doesn't always seem to understand what is going on and at times she's a bit whiney and needy, she kind of seems to grow up book by book. I also liked that these books were a bit more realistic than some YA-books tend to be, there were occasional curse-words, sex and heart-breaking sadness.
I don't know if men-readers would enjoy these books as much as we did but I guess it's worth the try:)
I'd recommed the Lux-series to everyone who likes supernatural/extraterretrial-things, great plots(don't we all) and romance.
