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 o...more

Merged review:

UPDATE!

Where to start, where to start? Well, how aboutHOW FREAKING AMAZING JLA IS!!!
Onyx isPERFECTION! Pure Genius!!!I thought Obsidian was amazing but Onyx isbreath taking.It's a non-stop rollercoaster ride that tears at your emotions. But did I ever want to get off this ride?? NO!

Tough Critic Book Reviews
HANDS DOWN, feet down, face down, ass down the best book Jennnifer L. Armentrout has ever written (yes, the extra "n" in Jennifer was originally a typo, but I decided to leave it in because that's just how awesome she is). I've said before that I'm riding the Jennifer L. Armentrout train going full speed ahead, but now I own the frickin railroad! GREAT ALIEN BALLS OF FIRE!

I must warn you, Onyx drips with sexual tension. Just when I thought the witty banter between Daemon and Kat couldn't get any...more

Sorry peeps, all my gifs had to go otherwise my actual review would've added to it's super longevity, lol.

I didn't think Jennifer Armentrout's wittiness, cleverness and ingenuity could step beyond the already above-average line, but with Onyx, she somehow managed to! Now I always say this about Miss Armentrout's books, I don't know how she does it, but she manages to write a bestselling novel in a span of a few weeks/months...more

Are you ready for some serious wowing?

Cus I am very much wowing here.

Because Wow...just WOW Look even the kitten (ha ha) is wow-ing.

Even though it has been a while since I read this, seeing as I was one of those lucky few who were able to get their hands on an ARC, I still have not got over this amazing book. Seriously when I start thinking...more

Onyx is the second book in the much-loved Lux series. Action, mystery, romance and a whole load of aliens. Be prepared for another dose of Jennifer L. Armentrout's awesomeness!

In Obsidian, Katy met Dee and Daemon, brother and sister with a dangerous secret. Now, in Onyx, Katy's relationship with the two siblings is stronger than ever, especially her all-too-hot relationship with Daemon. But Katy and Daemon are connected, due to a deadly battle against the arum, and Daemon is determined to prove...more

So adorable!!

"People who didn't heart books didn't understand".

I would have to agree with Kat on this one, for anyone who isn't an avid reader will never understand the power of a single book and how it can be treasured among the finest jewels on earth. They are created from the guts, dreams and drive of an author. Printed and bound for our entertainment, for our pleasure and for our escape. They will invoke any range of emotions from laughing your ass off, to crying endless tears to making you...more

Horny women with prurient interests but too prudish for erotica, rejoice! It’s the second coming of Twilight! Everyone else, stay FAR FAR away.

Reviewer’s Note: I’ve decided against doing a full review of Onyx. I’m simply not a fan of Jennifer Armentrout, and I don’t know why I keep getting tricked and/or guilted into giving her books chance after chance expecting to finally like one. Obviously, there’s a lot I could talk about, like say, the complete lack of a plot in the first eighteen chapters...more

4.5 stars

Spoiler-free. (I promise)

This book is amazing. There is no other way to put it. Jennifer L. Armentrout delivers yet another brilliantly entertaining book that fans will most certainly devour. I definitely devoured it – I lost sleep so I could read it in one sitting, and I don’t regret it in the slightest. Onyx may be one of the most anticipated books of the year and I can assure you all, it doesn’t disappoint.

I don’t quite know what it is about Jennifer’s style of writing that makes AL...more

Actual rating: 4.5

Wow. Favorite new Paranormal Romance series, thy name is Lux. I've said before that from the moment I first started seeing the Lux books floating around, I avoided them. But the thing that finally convinced me to check it out was Julie's review over at All Things Urban Fantasy, where she said, "As much as I enjoyed OBSIDIAN, ONYX was even better." Confession time: Sometimes I start a book series just to get to a certain book in that series. The best example would have to be Jul...more

Since reading Obsidian, this pesky jerkface alien has been invading my thoughts. It's not that I care...I don't, not really. I mean, it's just a little embarrassing. I lust after him. In public. In the shower. Sleeping. (I once had a dream I met Pepe and we talked and took a walk...sadly, I woke up before I jumped his bones) He's everywhere with me and always on my mind. Curse you, JLA!

Help! Help!

Onyx was breathtaking, heart stopping, adrenaline pumping, hair tearing, and everything in between! I -honest to all the baby aliens everywhere- was exhausted after all the emotions this book has made me felt! It was like being in a broken and demented roller coaster. Insane and DIDN'T. FREAKING. STOPPED. It just went on and on and on.... that I just sat there, thinking Dammit! This book will make me lose my mind, but oh hell...more

Oh, holy alien babies everywhere......this book is AMAZING!

I'm running out of ways to tell you how amazing this author’s work really is because Onyx really does not disappoint. It’s thrilling, heart-pounding and just as explosive as Obsidian - if not even better and it will leave you wanting more and more!

Onyx starts pretty much where Obsidian finishes. Katy is trying to move on with her life but it’s hard when she has Daemon Black trying to win her over at every turn. Katy is convinced that D...more

NO BIG SPOILERS IN OBSIDIAN AND ONYX

When I read Obsidian last year, I wasn't planning on liking it (hello! Aliens), let alone loving it enough for it to be my NUMBER 1 favourite read of 2011, surpassing Divergent. Now that I’ve read Onyx, the second book in the Lux series, I still honestly don’t know what to say. It’s THAT good. I was contemplating with myself whether I can just write a review saying ITS SO GOOD, GO BUY IT KNOW ov...more

Ladies and gentlemen, she did it again!!!

Daemon...*sigh* I love Daemon... He is my favorite naughty hot boy ever. No seriously, who is Edward Cullen?! I don't remember anymore.
And blog girl Katy is great! That girl is not some stupid damsel in distress. She always has a perfect come-back! I love a good snarky banter between characters, and these two are hilarious.

If you thought Obsidian was awesome, just wait until you get your hands on Onyx. Heart-stoping action, swoon-worthy romance and supe...more

found this and just had to share:
Chapter 1

Ten seconds passed between when Daemon Black took his seat and when he poked me under my shoulder blade with his trusty pen. Ten whole seconds. Twisting around in my seat, I inhaled the unique outdoorsy scent that was all him.
Daemon pulled his hand back and tapped the blue cap of his pen on the corner of his lips. Lips I was well familiar with. “Good morning, Kitten.”
I forced my gaze to his eyes. Bright green, like the stem of a freshly cut rose. “Goo...more

I was lucky enough to get an ARC of this and it didnt disappoint! This book picks up soon after the events of Obsidian and focuses on the aftermath of Daemon healing Katy. There are lots of differnt things going on in the book, so it was very unpredictable and there is never a dull moment. The pacing is great and you wouldnt want to put the book down once you've started. The plot was quite orignal and it introduced a lot of new things about the Lux and the DOD. We even get to learn more about Da...more

Fantastic second book of the LUX series. Continues from book 1 seamlessly and leaves you begging and pleading for more! If you enjoyed Obsidian, then grab your bootstraps and hang on for more twists and turns than a 5-star roller coaster. JLA took an awesome beginning of a series, smeared it through awesomesauce, and turned it up to an '11'.

4 STARS out of 5
Genre: YA Paranormal Romance
Series: Book #2 in Lux Series

Daemon Black made this book! I'll say that again
DAEMON BLACK MADE THIS BOOK! He gave me sexy, funny, and was in his total ALPHA MALE GLORY.


In between laughs and lust we have jealousy, betrayal and death in book two of the Lux series. This book pretty much picks up where the last left off leaving Daemon and Katy more connected than ever. And now that Daemon is in hot pursuit of Katy she is more like...eh,...more

Ah! The long awaited sequel to Obsidian! Hot and spicy, Jennifer L. Armentrout's Lux series is up on top with having one of the strongest chemistry between characters, the hottest lust filled scenes, and the most infuriating beautiful being in YA.

This sequel's strongest aspect, like its predecessor, is its deeply rooted characters. We have Katy--book blogger extraordinaire--who is a really fun, snippy protagonist, then we have Daemon who is… well he's a jerk face, and I say this with a smile on...more

The Holy Trinity of Hot Boys is back. But he's got competition - in the form of a new cutie named Blake, who has more in common with Kat than anyone, and who's interested in teaching her what he knows... But Daemon's having none of that, because he's ready to declare Kat his. Unfortunately, she still thinks he's stab-worthy, though his sweet side is making her fruit-loopy, and his concentrated get-under-your-skin stares are shooting deeper.

Before I go into my review, I want to acknowledge that I do not usually prefer YA romance and was completely SHOCKED at how much I enjoyed Obsidian. That said, I was a little disappointed with Onyx.

I felt the characters were different people than they were in Obsidian. Katy was so wishy-washy, rather than the snarky girl I remembered. I also perceived her as being incredibly intelligent and found it hard to buy that she didn't put the puzzle pieces, sitting directly in front of her, together.

It's only fitting that I go back to my roots and kick this review off Obsidian Style

Up First : Bad Cop

1. The first half of this book sucked hard. Go on, try to convince me that it didn't. I won't be moved. Not one interesting thing happened in the first 40 or so percent. Sexual tension? If sexual tension means Katy saying the same thing over and over and pushing Daemon away, even when he was being nice to her, that's some of the worst sexual tension I've ever seen. Where did book 1 Katy go? I mi...more

5 stars Goodreads! Really? That's all I can give this book! I think they need to add a new rate for books made of pure awesomeness.

I was looking down at the end of my kindle screen at the percentage button & a little bit of me died inside every time I got close to the end!

I think I was grinning away to myself like an idiot on the bus, in the cafe and in work when I was hiding it under my to-do list (which didn't get done!)!

I literally cannot wait for Opal. I'll just have to...more
