LUX 1

Finished 23rd SEPT 2015

STARS 5*

OBSIDIAN LOVE THIS BOOK! I first read it about a year ago, but I was very busy so read it fast. Then I had a book voucher and was like 'Obsidian here we come' and bought the first and second LUX books. I really fell in love with this book right from the beginning! Jennifer L. Armentrout's work is just amazing! Her writing style is captivating and how can you just not fall in love with the characters. Katy..Kitten is AAAMMAAAZZING I mean a book lover, blogger and just super cool! Wishing I was her!
And Daemon LOVEEEEEE. He's like the perfect guy even if he is a jerk to begin with we all love a good bad boy!

Katy and Daemon are the perfect couple so there romance just made me so happy....I don't normally like alien books because they are not really me, but this book is to die for! I like the concept of a normal girl, falling for the bad boy...I know its been done hundreds of times but allows me to live in hope but anyway. The friendship between Dee and Katy, its fun and makes the characters more loveable. And this book is hot, in a fun way. I love the teasing between Daemon and Katy, it shows that he really does like her.

I have read 4 of the LUX books so my views are based sort of on the 4. I think each book is as good as the last and no where was I disappointed. I will do reviews on each one.

Updated July 2016
I just re read this book and yet again I have fallen in love with Daemon and Katy. I love the attitude and the chemistry they have in the first book. It shows just how talented Armentrout is, she gives the characters time to develop. Allowing you to fall in love with them all, before she brings them together.

I went straight on and read the other 4, so now having read all 5, I can honestly as I loved each one as much as the last. For a writer to write 5 books, about the same characters and no allow the reader to become bored shows such how captivating her writing really is. Not once did I feel that one book lead the series down. This for me is what makes this series so very special. I could also read them again and again, still loving them as much as I did the first time I read them. This makes me very happy ;P

The Cover
Stars 2*
The one thing I don't like about this book is the Damn cover! NOOO why!
I don't feel it shows of Daemon or Katy, I like the colour scheme but its just not what I think should be on the book, I feel it could be so much better and really make it stand out.
The cover models DO NOT match the descriptions IN THE BOOK. God I hate it when they don't match! Why use a model that does not fit with the book!
Daemon is meant to be tall you can see this model is not, yes the hair and body fit somewhat. But Katy? No No NO! She is meant to have light brown hair..... Not jet black.
As I said I like the colours and the general idea of the cover, the green gives an alien feel, which is what it is about so yay. The title font is good, but I think a serif font would have worked better. But I like the back drop, it is off what looks like a sea, so thats a bit weird as they are meant to be by a lake I guess. But I think there could have been one that fitted in with the book better.

I guess what I am trying to say is.. The book and cover should reflect each other, you don't what the cover to give much away, however, it has to relate. Even if its subtle details that before reading the book mean nothing.

I give the Cover 2*, I feel I was generous with this, it is really of the layout and colour.
