Opposition (Lux #5) by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Opposition  (Jennifer L. Armentrout)

SUMMARY

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 an emotion that could destroy her—could destroy them all.

Daemon will do anything to save those he loves, even if it means betrayal.

They must team with an 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 survival 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..

MY REVIEW

It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)
Yes, the world has beyond doubt changed
BUT
Katy does NOT feel fine.

Daimon has picked a side and abandoned her.
Or this is what Katy thinks.

“Kat.” He uttered my name like it was some kind of prayer, and then he pressed a kiss against the skin behind my ear. “I broke every rule of my kind to heal you and keep you with me. I … 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?”

Deep sigh...

Soon, there will be a reunion. It won't be a happy reunion.

Daemon is stressed, scared for Katy and he tries unsuccessfully to look evil.
Dawson is stressed, scared for pregnant Beth and he tries unsuccessfully to look evil also.
Dee is peaceful, content and she looks evil successfully.

All hell will break lose in Las Vegas and before Daemon and Katy realise what they have done, they will be out of the frying pan into the fire and now human soldiers will be their new guards.

And before they can mumble “Luc what are you doing with Nancy?”, it is about time for them to meet the Arum and their psycho leader Lotho. By the way his comparison to Loki, I thought it was just brilliant!

Who are finally the bad guys?
The Luxen?
The humans?
The Arum?

And moreover:
Who is human?
Who is Luxen?
Who is Origin?

You cannot really tell.
All around a post-apocalyptic scenario plays out and the only thing missing are the zombies.
Thankfully and strangely, you can still find toilet paper at the supermarket.

This is an amazing book that it could be easily a Hollywood’s blockbuster film or a successful TV series.
I had such fun with this series and I would really love more books from this world.
