Oblivion by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Oblivion (Lux, #1.5) by Jennifer L. Armentrout

SUMMARY

Experience the epic love story of OBSIDIAN as told by its hero, Daemon Black…
I knew the moment Katy Swartz moved in next door, there was going to be trouble. Lots of it.

And trouble’s the last thing I need, since I’m not exactly from around here. My people arrived on Earth from Lux, a planet thirteen billion light years away. Plus, if there’s one thing I know, it’s that humans can’t be trusted. We scare them. We can do things they only dream about, and honestly, we make them look weak as hell. ‘Cuz they are.

But Kat is getting to me in ways no one else has, and I can't stop myself from wanting her—or wanting to use my powers to protect her. She makes me weak, and I’m the strongest of our kind, tasked with protecting us all. So this one simple girl…she can mean the end for us. Because the Luxen have an even bigger enemy—the Arum, and I need to stay on my game.

Falling for Katy—a human—won't just place her in danger. It could get us all killed, and that’s one thing I’ll never let happen...

MY REVIEW

Daemon’s POV and in a way he will make you fall in love with him all over again.

You will laugh with his first impression of Kate:

I sized her up as I drifted silently through the trees. She appeared of average height. Actually, everything about her seemed average....
..... My head cocked to the side at the sound of her voice, which was also…average.

You will roll your eyes with his description about himself:

My green eyes were a family trait and my hair tended to curl a bit on the ends whether I wanted it to or not, but my six-foot-something awesome frame and movie-star good looks—well those just fit my stellar personality.

And you will feel sad when you meet again alive all the characters that you know they will die later on in the story...

The book has more than one thousand pages and three parts:
1. "Oblivion " , i.e. Daemon' POV for Obsidian
2. Untitled, Daemon's POV for Onyx
3. Untitled, Daemon's POV for Opal

The most interesting part was surely Oblivion, because Obsidian was the book in which Daemon kept the most secrets from Katy. It was nice to see the way he was thinking and how much Katy influenced him.
The other two parts were a bit repetitive in comparison to the original books, but I didn't mind too much. It was like reading again a book that you love.
