Blog Hop + Giveaway! The Lux Series by Jennifer L. Armentrout




13644052
From Goodreads: 
Daemon will do anything to get Katy back.

After the successful but disastrous raid on Mount Weather, he’s facing the impossible. Katy is gone. Taken. Everything becomes about finding her. Taking out anyone who stands in his way? Done. Burning down the whole world to save her? Gladly. Exposing his alien race to the world? With pleasure.

All Katy can do is survive.
   
Surrounded by enemies, the only way she can come out of this is to adapt. After all, there are sides of Daedalus that don’t seem entirely crazy, but the group’s goals are frightening and the truths they speak even more disturbing. Who are the real bad guys? Daedalus? Mankind? Or the Luxen?

Together, they can face anything. 

But the most dangerous foe has been there all along, and when the truths are exposed and the lies come crumbling down, which side will Daemon and Katy be standing on? 
  
And will they even be together?


Favorite Origin Quotes:       “Oh shit. ET just phoned home.” 

    






“While you’re deep in something, you never say or do what you need to. It’s always after the fact, when it’s too late, that you realize what you should’ve said or done.” 





“I want to get to know every freckle and every curve on a personal level.” 

“I think you did that last night.” 
“Nah.” He shook his head. “That was just a meet and greet. I want to know their hopes and dreams.” 



“Sometimes words were cheap. They could be powerful, but in those rare occasions like now, words meant nothing.”




“I want to marry you because I'm in love with you, Kat. I will always be in love with you. That's not going to change today or two weeks from now. I will be just as in love with you in twenty years as I am today.” 






“I promise you that this isn't going to be our future, Kitten. I will give that to you—a normal life."
Her eyes glistened. "I don’t expect a normal life. I just expect a life with you” 

“I love you," I said, our lips brushing. "I love you so very much.”

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…
