Review: Onyx (Lux #2) by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Onyx (Lux #2)
by Jennifer L. Armentrout

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 out what Daemon can do and that we're linked, I’m a goner. So is he. And there's this new boy in school who’s got a secret of his own. He knows what’s happened to me and he can help, but to do so, I have to lie to Daemon and stay away from him. Like that's possible. Against all common sense, I'm falling for Daemon. Hard. But then everything changes…
I’ve seen someone who shouldn’t be alive. And I have to tell Daemon, even though I know he’s never going to stop searching until he gets the truth. What happened to his brother? Who betrayed him? And what does the DOD want from them—from me? No one is who they seem. And not everyone will survive the lies…

"I could always give you a teaser. You bookish people love teasers, don't you?"

The first book in the series, Obsidian, I really enjoyed. So I was looking forward to reading this. Although I did like it, I didn't love it has much as the first one. This book starts out pretty slow, not much happens for the first half of this book. I liked the fact that Katy developed alien powers from when Daemon healed her. And I was looking forward to watching her learn to use her powers, what I didn't like is how she stopped hanging out with Dee and trusted Blake over trusting Daemon. Blake didn't do it for me at all, I knew better then to trust him.

Daemon was just as charming in this book, as he was in Obsidian. I like how he always called Blake every name that starts with a "B" besides Blake.

"Kitten, your mind is a terrible and dirty place."
"I always liked you. From the moment you first flipped me off."


I liked Daemon & Katy together, I wish Katy stopped doubting him earlier in the book instead of spending most of the book wondering if he really wanted to be with her. I liked their "bond" they had, It was interesting to read about that.

What I'm hoping for in the third book is more Katy & Dee. More Katy & Daemon. More of Daemon himself. Learning more about Daemon & Dee's brother. Just more of everyone really lol. Can't wait for the third book to come out!

3 and a half out of 5 stars.
