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…

Following the “AMAZINGNESS” of Obsidian, I wasn’t sure if Ms. Armentrout could possibly outdo herself. I mean, Obsidian was one of those books that is LIFE-CHANGING!!! Seriously, she did it. She, unbelievably, miraculously, did IT!!

Onyx picks up right where Obsidian left off. With a newly connected Daemon and Kat. Daemon, being his extrememly tantalizing self, is stuck trying to convince his “Kitten” that they are meant to be. But, Kat is just not having it. Convinced that their attraction is a by-product of their Halloween connection, she refuses to give in to Daemon’s, very alluring, wiles…Well, MOST of the time she does.

Kat doesn’t just have Daemon’s persistence to contend with…There’s also the DOD–the branch of the government that monitors the Luxen and their activities. Kat starts to worry about the DOD finding out about their connection, among other new “occurances”.

My FAVORITE aspect to Onyx is that we get a Daemon that we didn’t really get in Obsidian. He’s sweet and not just the jerk that Kat’s used to. This makes their attraction all the more intense.

If you haven’t read this series so far, I honestly don’t know what is stopping you. The story has kept me hooked the entire time and I’m absolutely ANXIOUS for more!
