A Goodreads user asked this question about Obsidian (Lux, #1):

Many readers have told me this is a twilight knock off do you agree?

Charlotte absolutely! I mean of course in such a YA setting there will be similarities but the only difference here is that the paranormal activities are aliens…moreabsolutely! I mean of course in such a YA setting there will be similarities but the only difference here is that the paranormal activities are aliens instead of vampires. The rest is more or less identical!

- normal girl moves to small town and meets "strange" family
- everyne in the family looks amazing
- love interest keeps saving her life
- they have powers (besides the vampire thing quite the same)
- sister becomes new best friend and is sprightly
- because of their interaction she is endangerd and that is why they should keep their distance
- there is a prom and the madatory dress shopping
- writing style is a bit boring and first person narrator

I could foresee every event in the story because A the writing and train of thought is super predictable and B it happened exactly the same way in Twilight(less)
