Onyx (Lux, #2) by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Onyx (Jennifer L. Armentrout)

SUMMARY

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…

MY REVIEW

"By New Year's Day, you'll have admitted that you're madly, deeply, irrevocably, and irresistibly in love with me."
This is the book that we will have a game-changing by Daemon, while Katy suffers by alien flu or something like that.

In other words, Daemon will start pursuing Kate and Kate (after she had almost died in the previous book) will discover that she has some strange powers that she was not supposed to have and she cannot control.

Yes, Daemon will still be a jerk most of the times. That’s mainly due to his protectiveness and his fixation on Kate:
-He still needs to punish Simon for the way that he treated Kate (and he still treats her actually).
-He feels jealousy for the first time in his human life because of the new boy in town. Surfer and cool Blake will show interest in Kate. And Daemon will turn green not because he is an alien but because jealousy makes him suffer.

Kate on the other hand tries to deny that she is not the same Kate any more. And she tries to avoid her feelings for Daemon unsuccessfully. Bad bad girl! She will start playing with two boys and in the end she hurts the most.

Humans and aliens have many secrets, many things to deal, not enough trust.

The story flows with its twists, its funny moments and the tension between Kate, Daemon and Blake (or is it Ben, or Bobby, or Flake, or Bilbo etc.)
“It’s always nice to meet another fan.”
