Cover Reveal: Redesigned #2

Last week we reveal a new design for JLA's Lux series first volume set and now it's time to reveal Volume Two which consist of Opal and Origin.

Lux: Beginnings (Obsidian & Onyx) and Lux: Consequences (Opal & Origin) will both be releasing on June 3, 2014.

Lux: Beginnings (Obsidian & Onyx) official Blurb:

Obsidian

There's an alien next door. And with his looming height and eerie green eyes, he's hot...until he opens his mouth. He's infuriating. Arrogant. Stab-worthy. But when a stranger attacks me and Daemon literally freezes time with a wave of his hand, he lights me up with a big fat bulls-eye. Turns out he has a galaxy of enemies wanting to steal his abilities and the only way I’m getting out of this alive is by sticking close to him until my alien mojo fades. If I don’t kill him first, that is.

Onyx

Daemon’s determined to prove what he feels for me is more than a product of our bizarro alien connection. So I’ve sworn him off, even though he’s running more hot than cold these days. But we’ve got bigger problems. 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?

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. 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?

Book Review: Shadows (#0.5 Lux )

Shadows (#0.5 Lux) by Jennifer L Armentrout

Other editions

Enlarge cover

The last thing Dawson Black expected was Bethany Williams. As a Luxen, an alien life form on Earth, human girls are…well, fun. But since the Luxen have to keep their true identities a secret, falling for one would be insane.

Dangerous. Tempting. Undeniable.

Bethany can’t deny the immediate connection between her and Dawson. And even though boys aren’t a complication she wants, she can’t stay away from him. Still, whenever they lock eyes, she’s drawn in.

Captivated. Lured. Loved.

Dawson is keeping a secret that will change her existence...and put her life in jeopardy. But even he can’t stop risking everything for one human girl. Or from a fate that is as unavoidable as love itself.

 

ebook, 179 pages

Published February 21st 2012 by Entangled Publishing (first published February 20th 2012)

 

So Amazon had the Ebook for free and how could I pass this opportunity to read Dawson's story, it was going to be one of my Ebooks purchases after Christmas. But since there was a free download I quickly clicked it and at the same time I was reading Origin. So I had the chance to read two Lux books at once. 

Review

For so long I've waited to get the inside story of Dawson and Beth, and now I think it was worth the wait. I know Jennifer had said that you can read Shadows at any times but due to highly secretive plot in origin it was recommend to read shadows before hands.

 

I did while reading origin and I must say I was dying to know how Dawson and Beth got to where they ended up and reappeared in Onyx. 

Living in a small town in West Virginia, for Dawson the only thing that matters was his family until Bethany Williams stepped into his life. 

 

Bethany (Beth) Williams never thought that meeting Dawson Black would changed her life forever, sure she thought he was just an ordinary sexy/hot teenage guy until she sees him glow. 

Now Dawson and Beth must stay strong together, they would do anything for each other, they will show love is greater than any other forces on earth. 

The riveting love story that Jennifer wrote of Dawson and Beth, they will shows that love will conquer all and gives the greatest strength like no others. I praise the novella, giving it a 5 Cat's Tails review when you know you found your match, there's nothing in the world that can pull you apart. 

Meow . . . Meow . . . Meow

I can just swoon over Dawson? He is the total opposite of his brother although Daemon did grow into being a little more nicer and swoon-worthy. But this isn't about Daemon, it about Dawson and Beth the two lovers that started it all. 

 

Beth wasn't looking for an relationship when she came to West Virginia but Dawson sweet talked her into giving him a chance. What Beth didn't know was that she would fall in love with Dawson and either did Dawson. During a moment of kissing Dawson did the unthinkable, he turned into his true form whoops. Sure Beth was a little freaked by that but she love Dawson no matter if he's a form of light or was from another planet.
 

These two has the undeniable young love chemistry, all you could do was AWs and swoon over these two and Dawson did the biggest thing he never thought of doing . . . Choosing Beth over his family, that's gotta sting but thankfully Dawson family came around only to lose him and Beth.
 

You can imagine what happen to Dawson and Beth in the end, being taken by the DOD as well the arum. The last thing Dawson saw was Beth before she was pulled away and darkness surround both of them. 

 

 

Book Review: Origin

I'm sure by now everyone has read Origin, however some of you may have not either because its not out yet or you haven't gotten permission to buy a book.

Do note that Origin is NOT the last book . . . Jennifer/Lynn have clarify that when people were starting to wonder if Origin was truly the last book. The epic and final conclusion to the Lux series will be called Opposition  and it will be release sometime in 2014. I know you hate the wait, but there's more to look forward . . . if you follow Jennifer/Lynn on her blog there's been some great announcements.

So now moving forward,

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?

Paperback, 366 pages

I was so epically dying to read this book after Opal, and I even had a book chat with the lovely Mindy Ruiz as you may know her from her blog http://www.mindyruiz.blogspot.com or on FB she is super friendly and we just both happen to be in the Daemon world at the time.

Here's the Trailer of Origin

 

 

Ahem . . . time to review and MEOW about Origin!

 

REVIEW

Katy and Daemon has been inseparable until now . . . things went downhill while breaking into Mount Weather.  Now Katy and Daemon are both suffering the greatest pain they ever encountered.

 

On two different side of the States, Katy thought there was no end . . . believes there were no hope. Daemon would burn down the world to find her, even if that meant turning your back on your community and the elders.

 

Nothing matters to Daemon . . . the only thing that matter was Katy and he was determine to find her . . . at any cost.

 

Area 51 does exist but Katy's fate will be far greater than she thinks, sacrifice will  be made, lives will be lost and a new species will rises.

It another bundle of kittens for this one, this was truly a perfect mixture of love and sacrifice. The love that Daemon has for Katy increased since the moment she was out of his grasp and would do anything to save and protect her.
 

Meow . . . Meow . . . Meow

Oh my gosh, I just couldn't believe how Opal ended and I was so very curious if Jennifer was going to do a two POV for Origin because both Katy and Daemon were not right next to each other for dialogs. It the same old rumor people believes, Katy and Daemon took off together like they assume with Dawson and Beth . . . NOT EVEN CLOSE. Katy and Daemon both were in their living hell, the DOD, Arums will stop at nothing to figure out just how powerful Daemon is and how stable Katy is with the mutation.

Katy was put through the test of her own sanity and her own will, she's been beaten up, nearly scarred but mentally she would be scarred for life. We all know the infamous BLAKE, god I really dislike him since the ending of Onyx and I knew he was responsible for the entire thing that went down at Mount Weather and the worst part was EVERYONE knew. Now stuck in AREA 51, Katy has no one's but the friendly Archer see to provide her some form of hope even if he's working for the bad guy.

The DOD makes up stories saying they only want to help people who are sick, make an epic discovery to heal any sort of life threatening diseases. But at what cost? Ready to burn down the Mount Weather building, Daemon comes across Nancy (DOD) and says that she can take him to Katy if he agrees on some things.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel for Katy, Daemon was there with her but that didn't change the tortures the DOD put her and Daemon through. You wonder will it ever ends, the plan to break out seems impossible unless you have a ally. Yep Archer isn't as bad as he seems and turns out he wanted to explore life outside of AREA 51. The plan was set.

On the run from the DOD, Daemon and Katy runs into their old non-friend Luc who was part of helping them get out of AREA 51 and acquaintances of Archer. The last thing Katy and Daemon expect was the gang . . . Dawson/Beth, Dee, Ash/Andrew and Matthews. It a happy moment for everyone.

But soon they find a traitor among them and everyone life is at stake, even for the unknown. Soon it seems like the only option of distraction is to exposed and lives will be lost. The next thing everyone has to worry about is the Elders since their exposure in the Nevada not only is the DOD, Arum hunting them . . . now the elders are involves and they want to take care of this mess by any means.

 

Jennifer really put these characters through a lot but now we have to wait for the epic conclusion of Opposition. There is a lot of romance between characters and I wish I could say more in depth about what was so truly awesome but that would be spoiling it for you guys.

Now I have to work on Shadows (Lux #0.5 ) that is Dawson POV and where we get to see how Beth and Dawson's love story started out and ended in a tragic way.

Book Review: Opal (Lux #3)

Opal (Lux #3) By Jennifer L Armentrout

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 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.

Opal Book Trailer

 

Opal is the best out of the Lux series, but duly noted I have not read Origin yet

 

 

 

Review

 

After Daemon saved Katy from her mother's physco boyfriend Will, and the return of Dawson, they think everything will be back to normal . . . Yeah not even close. Blake was still roaming alive and Dee has been set out on a vendetta. So what happens next?

 

The last thing Katy ever expected was to have Blake returning to school much less saying that he has a way to save Beth, Dawson's human girlfriend. But what's in it for him?

 

After an attempt to break into the building that is holding Beth, the first thing they didn't expect was Onyx, a deadly weapon that can be used against hybrid luxens.

 

Still determined to save Beth, the gang starts adapting to onyx in order to get pass the main part of security.

 

In the end someone is not making it out of the secure building . . .

 

MEEEOOOOWW! Such an amazing series and Opal delivers more thrills, more romance and more fear. The bundle of kittens are happily attracting your attention, their tails overlaps one another, you don't know whose belongs to whom.

 

 

Meow . . . Meow . . . Meow

 

Boy! Katy and Daemon are really are hitting off in Opal, with a few interuptions and distractions. I'd hoped that they would have a chance to finally not worry about the Arum, DOD and BLAKE. But the restart of school brings Blake back and everyone is on edge about it. What's worst? Dee is determine to kill Blake after the loss of Adam, but Daemon is very concern if she would to kill Blake what would be the emotional consquences?

 

Also I love Dee, I really do but in this book she was a different person and she blamed Daemon and Katy for letting Blake go in the first place. But I think the Dee and Katy relationship has really changed after Onyx . . . Will they ever be friends again?

 

Oh come on, you know you were hoping for a little romance actions and eventually Daemon and Katy did. You know they got the chemistry but what's more important is that they are connected, hearts beating as one. That was even more bittersweet.

 

So Blake has a way to save Beth? Yeah I would never trust him with his words but he did eventually lead them there only to get what he wanted and it every person for themselves. Also the nighttime stalking of Katy? CREEPY

 

But then that not all! Remember back in Onyx where Blake talked about if the hybrid or the luxen that mutated the human were to be badly injured to point of death . . . they both die? Yeah had a little scare moment but whew for relief.

 

In the end you'll have to see if the gang made it out alive or who was left behind,

Is it Daemon . . .Beth . . .Blake . . .Katy . . . or Dawson?

 

 

I'm so curious how Origin will go but I'm still waiting to get my paws on the book, the lack of book orders from my store is disappointing. Origin should have been the first thing under their Teen/YA section of Top Books to Read and no we aren't Barnes and Noble. So that is not deem as important.

 

Well wish me luck on that MOUSE HUNTING of Origin. 

 

 

Onyx (Lux #2) Review

ONYX (Lux #2) By Jennifer L Armentrout

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…

Onyx Book Trailer

 

This review is so long overdue, and I apologizes sometimes the review for a book doesn't come to me as quickly or smoothly as I wished. But I'm determine that this review will be worth the wait, so enjoy and I'll be reading Opal (in time) and purchasing Origin (Lux #4) when it's released.
 

The sequel to Obsidian brings new challenges, edge-driven danger, and Revelations

Review

After Katy been healed by Daemon, the danger lessen but Daemon isn't going to stop looking out for his sister and the other Luxs in small town of West Virgina. But when the Department Of Defense made it apparent to visit this small town, everyone is on high alert.
 

Both Katy and Daemon are still at it with each other, Katy really does wonder if Daemon's feelings are genuine or is it the alien connection when Daemon had healed her.
 

Katy begins to experience Alien traits but what can she do? What can Daemon do? Somehow the new kid Blake from California knows the answers but just how far will he push it?
 

Can Katy and Daemon figure out what the DOD has plans and what are Blake's real intentions but is there someone who even more dangerous because they are right under your nose?

Plus can Daemon prove to Katy that he does have true feeling for her?

I give this a 4.5 Cat's Tails Up, there was a lot of things happening in this book (maybe a little too much?) but anyways. Bringing in new people and reuniting with old people created the chaos for Katy, Daemon and the rest of the Lux crew.

Ramble

Onyx was filled with great twists and turns, I love how Katy finally accepted that Daemon truly does care about her in his own way and they may just become a couple. But hey a reader can only hope right?

Under Radar: With the Blacks being already under radar they were even more so due to the increase of DOD people after a satellite suddenly loses its signal . . . destroyed they now are focusing on the small town and are watching the Blacks as well the Thompson.
While DOD were focusing on the Blacks, they were also focusing on Katy because they believed that she has possessed Alien abilities which would consider a new experiment for them. Something they been working on since the beginning.

Jealous Daemon: Wow just Wow, who knew Daemon had a jealous side of him and who can blame him? With Katy potentially dating the new guy Blake what guy wouldn't? Katy want to try and live a normal life, thus meaning normal dates and normal guys but when Katy begins to show abilities that couldn't stay hidden for long for Daemon or for Blake.
The Californian Blake guy had notice Katy's ability but he wanted to know who it would've been that healed her . . . he figured out eventually. Blake begin to pitch the idea of Katy be in training learning to harness the alien ability she got or it would get out of control and possibly death? Daemon does all he can to avoid the training but he knows that Katy is being hurt during training although she denies it every time.

Unsuspected: Remember that guy Katy's mom is dating? Yeah turns out he's working for the DOD and he want to get what Katy and Blake has . . . Alien Ability. Really Man? Really?
Both Katy and Daemon works to together to figure out what is the DOD purpose and why are they possibly working with Atrum but when Katy see someone that is from Daemon's past. Katy believes that Dawson could be alive as well Bethany but Daemon for awhile pushed it off until after Daemon and Katy return to the house after facing Katy's mom ex-boyfriend (now)  and Katy being torture and near death.  Will the guy get what he wants or will Daemon be forced to watch Katy get tortured and possibly get killed right in front of him.

The ending: Just before Katy been kidnapped by her mom's ex, she and Blake fights and Dee and Adam steps in to help but Blake killed Adam with his ability. Daemon becomes furious because Katy lied to him in the first place about the injuries she's gotten while training with Blake and Adam's death was partly Katy's fault. Will Daemon forgive? After Daemon rescued Katy, coming home turns out to be a one heck of reunion for the blacks.

So yes a lot happen in this book, I just wonder what Opal will bring when someone you believe was dead is very much alive?

Obsidian (Lux #1) Review

Obsidian

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

Paperback, 2nd Edition, 361 pages

Published May 8th 2012 by Entangled Teen (first published November 23rd 2011)

My first Alien book! Sure it's not the little green men that I hear of from the x-files but green eyes are known to be daring. Don't believe me? look at the Obsidian cover more closely then you tell me otherwise.

Review

Moving in a small town in West Virgina was not what Katy had in mind, she imagined herself still at the beach soaking up the Florida sun. But it was time for a change her mom said, it was time to move on from the past.

 

Katy's goal was to introduce herself to the next door neighbor where two teens her age live in but what she got was daring green eyes staring right back her . . . His name is Dameon Black.

 

Daemon does just about anything to annoyed Katy but when his sister Dee get too close in making friends with Katy he want to break up this friendship before it even happens. Why?

 

Daemon and Dee has a secret . . . They're not from Earth or any of the surrounding planets and when Katy seems to be drawn to Dee and even Dameon (some times) that raises some concerns, how close is too close?

This is Purr Fest! I love it so much that I choose to read Onyx next, now I am focused on reading Onyx and I have no idea what's coming.

 

Ramble

So here's an awesome note, Katy is a blogger like me! But I don't have that Daemon Black bothering my every thoughts and driving me insane. But that what makes this book so fun and entertaining, the love/hate relationship between Katy and Daemon is funny.

 

When Daemon's twin sister Dee instantly connects with Katy, Daemon must do what he can to break up the friendship before it happens since there is too much at stakes for his family and for other people that are like him.

 

But Dee isn't going to take on Daemon's pestering she like having a "normal" friend  and the bonus is that Katy lives right next door to her. After Daemon had said some hurtful things to Katy, Dee punish Daemon by taking his keys and tells him to apologize and make amends with Katy.

 

Soon Katy realizes that Daemon and Dee aren't from around here, after Katy been attack and daemon stepping in to save her, but this isn't where the secret is revealed in fact daemon has no choice but to tell Katy the truth after she witness the unthinkable.
 

The secret is out but what is a Lux? They are being of lights, they can bend light at their will and some even are able to do other things. Lux is Latin for light in case anyone was wondering. But just like any other others, Lux has enemies called Arum that search for the most powerful and drain them of their powers thus killing them.

Can I say that Katy always ends up at the wrong place wrong time? because she does and who comes to the rescue . . . Daemon. But that is not the worst of it, whenever Daemon uses his ability its leaves a trace and the only way to get rid of a trace is by some form of physical activities otherwise the Arum can find you and will kill you no matter what.

Katy done a lot to help Daemon and Dee, she even faced a Arum alone until her last breath but lucky Daemon arrived just soon enough and then Daemon, Dee and Katy were getting injured but Daemon forced himself to protect Katy and Dee. In the end Katy ends up saving Daemona and Dee somehow but it left her so weak where Daemon did the unthinkable . . . healing her.

And if you really wonder if Daemon does have feelings for Katy, the bonus chapters of Daemon's POV certainly tells all. If you don't have that edition, unless you were able to get them in ebook format I would go buy the newly edition one with the bonus features. ;-)

Book one of the Lux series was fast driven, heart-pounding and love/hate entertaining, I would recommend to anyone whose looking for an alien theme book.
