Obsidian (Lux, #1) in The Wide Web of Friends in YA Books

Jun 24, 2013 Rachel (APCB Reviews) rated it it was ok

Rating Recall:
I read the Lux books last summer and found them wildly entertaining and filled with awesome characters. Saying I was excited for the release of this book would be an understatement. I think that my taste in books has changed since then though. Before (as in last year) I was very easily entertained and loved basically every book I'd read. Granted I was a new reader and didn't know any better, I think I've become more critical and now know my reading "likes and dislikes." With a heav ...more

"Beautiful face. Beautiful body. Horrible attitude. It was the holy trinity of hot boys."

This was such a fun book!! I loved it. I was actually a little reluctant to get into this series, but I guess I just gave in to my stubbornness. I mean hot aliens? Who doesn't like that? And well, I don't regret it. I really reallllyyy enjoyed this story. Iy was a super entertaining and funny book.

There is a lot of the Daemon hype in this series and I was pretty curious. Lets just say Daemon's assholeness w ...more

Shelves: ebooks

this was the perfect book to break by reading slump as i literally did not put it down. the main character being a book blogger was amazing and helps basically guarantee that the reader will be able to have some connecting with the main character. our love interest is a first class jerk and as a lover of Love/Hate relationships i kind of like this, however unless he becomes more likable in the future i am not sure if he will ever reach the same level as many other love interests within the YA ca ...more

Okay guys, I haven't really been able to write a review before now that encompasses the perfection in this book. Well, now I'm ready.
*Que awesome music*

Okay. So. Obsidian. This book was, as Katy would put it: "Oh sweet alien babies everywhere!" Fantastic. When I first picked up this book, I wasn't all that interested, to be honest. Dee was cute and very peppy. I knew something wasn't right about her right off the bat. No human is THAT peppy. Don't get me wrong: I love dee. I really do. I'm just Okay guys, I haven't really been able to write a review before now that encompasses the perfection in this book. Well, now I'm ready.

Okay. So. Obsidian. This book was, as Katy would put it: "Oh sweet alien babies everywhere!" Fantastic. When I first picked up this book, I wasn't all that interested, to be honest. Dee was cute and very peppy. I knew something wasn't right about her right off the bat. No human is THAT peppy. Don't get me wrong: I love dee. I really do. I'm just saying for me, always expecting the unexpected and impossible, knew she just wasn't a normal human. I really liked Kat's sense of humor right from the start. Very awesome. And then came the reason I at some point fell asleep on my book from reading so late: DAEMON PERFECTION BLACK. Well, the perfection part was just me but you know it's true. He, please excuse the language, is a douche canoe. (And yes I just used daemons curse word creativity. Get over it.) But he's still awesome. He's the kind of boy who you'd do Anything to be with. Bottle green eyes that you've never EVER seen the color of before on earth, (Hint, Hint) black hair that always mangers to look sexy even if he JUST woke up, his trusty pen, his smirk that would make most melt into a puddle, a sense of humor that you can't help but love, his overprotective attitude of his sister, alien super powers, yeah alien. Awesome right? Now are you drooling by now or-oh wait you're not? OH, it's because you're dead on the floor? Oh yeah. I get it. I really do. Okay, now on to my most favorite part of writing reviews: SPOILERS!!!

xXSpoilers!Xx

The type of alien that daemon and dee are a type of alien called a Luxen. They are bass icky beings of light in their true form. Opposite to their enemy, the arum, (Who can be killed by obsidian. Just thought you should know.) who are beings of darkness that dissolve into smoke, almost, I their true form. In their true form, they talk to you in your mind, like the Luxen. But, instead of regular, if not more velvety sounding voices, the arum voices inside your head sound like a snake. Like thisssss they only sssssay the ssssnake sssssound on the letter ssssss. Ugh. Arum. *Shudders* there are only a few-a cluster, if you will-of Luxen in West Virginia, well, in the world actually, but the ones in W.V. Are: Daemon, Dee, Adam, Matthew, and Andrew.
They aren't to happy about Katy knowing who they are. So anyways, if you're reading the spoilers, then you've either read the book, or you're stupid, but anyways, I'm gonna assume it's just the people who have already read the book. This book had a lot of humor in it, and I really loved that Katy, our heroine, wasn't a complete damsel in distress. Kitten got bite! When Daemon and Katy 1st meet, you instantly know they're going to be together. With that being said, I REALLY loved that there was t all this love triangle crap in the story, because, frankly, I'm really over all that. 150 love triangles is a little much, even for me. I also really loved the Luxen and the idea of them. I LOVE The Host, so I was willing to try the alien angle, and I'm really glad I did. It wasn't all green ballon heads and stuff, no it was light. Just simple, unearthly light. And, in The Host's case, little glow worm thingies. I bought the rest of the series, (Even origin. YAY!! :D) and I'm working on getting this one. I suggest you go and tackle whoever is grabbing the last copy of this book on the shelve, grab it, and run, because its just that freakin awesome. As for me, imma be chillin with my Luxen Buds.

Ayer hicieron dos años desde que leí Obsidian, y hoy terminé el último de la saga. Sigo pensando que son mis libros favoritos, se merecen mucho más que 5 estrellas.
