Review: Opposition by Jennifer L. Armentrout


Opposition (Lux Series #5)
Jennifer L. Armentrout

Published By: Entangled Publishing/ Entangled Teen
Publication Date: August 5, 2014 
Genre: YA - Paranormal



5 Stars!





From Goodreads:

Katy knows the world changed the night the Luxen came.

She can't believe Daemon welcomed his race or stood by as his kind threatened to obliterate every last human and hybrid on Earth. But the lines between good and bad have blurred, and love has become as emotion that could destroy her- could destroy them all.


Daemon will do anything to save those he loves, eben if that means betrayal.

They must team with as unlikely enemy if there is any chance of surviving the invasion. But when it quickly becomes impossible to tell friend from foe, and the world is crumbling around them, they may lose everything- even what they cherish most- to ensure the surviival of their friends...and mankind. 

War has come to earth. And no matter the outcome, the future will never be the same for those left standing.


 If you have reached Opposition, you’ve more than likely read the rest of the Lux series. Which means you already know how out of this world it is (pun intendedJ)! This was a bittersweet read, it is so hard to say goodbye to a series you love. However, that’s the joy of books! I’ll return to them again and again…

            Daemon and Katy have been through so much, this conclusion could have gone down many paths. I was almost afraid to open the book. Especially after the conclusion of Origin. Who would we lose? What will be destroyed? How could Daemon and Katy find their happily ever after? I waited almost 20 minutes before cracking it open!


            I was certainly thrown for a loop in the beginning. I couldn’t believe that Daemon and Dawson would leave their girls! So, right off, I was on the edge of my seat! 

“Holy Alien Babies!” -Katy

Daemon is the cocky ass with a sweet side that we have come to expect. In Opposition, he blew me away!!!! Daemon cracks open his shell and lets us see the vulnerable side. The side that is created, shaped, and consumed by Katy.


 “I broke every rule of my kind to heal you and keep you with me. I married you and burned down an entire city to keep you safe. I’ve killed for you. Did you think I’d forget what you mean to me? That anything in this world - in any world - would be stronger than my love for you?” - Daemon



The book moves incredibly fast, I was flying through the pages in order to get to the next one. However, while that is traditionally a good thing…it ended way too soon. In the end, I shut the book happy with the conclusion to the series. JLA answered many questions that have been floating around in our minds since the early days of the series. The story really did come full circle, and while I’d always be on board to read more Daemon and Katy, I was content with their happy ending and am satisfied to get more by re-reading the series. Their love story is epic and
            Jennifer L. Armentrout does not disappoint. Her characters become a part of our lives, a part of our family. It’s always hard to part ways with family. Especially a Book Boyfriend as yummy as Daemon…
