Book One - Lux Series
Arriving in a new town in West Virginia, Katy and her mom are making a fresh start, after the death of her father. Slipping next door in need of directions, Katy meets Daemon. Daemon is tall, dark, green eyed and gorgeous, he's also a Jerk! Katy feels an attraction but she just can't seem to get along with the arrogant sarcastic boy wonder. Then one night they run into real trouble causing Katy to be saved by Daemon, doing something that should have been impossible. The drawback to the saving is that now Katy knows the truth, that Daemon and his family are aliens. Oh yes, and also Katy and Daemon now share an almost electric connection, one both of them constantly feel when near to each other. If this weren't enough, Katy also learns that by having close contact with him, Daemon has marked her with an alien light trace. For those who can see it, Katy glows. It's the kind of trace that Daemon's enemies can track to find and eliminate them. Will Daemon and Katy's new connection be their downfall? Is this connection the real reason Daemon feels his attraction to Katy? Will Katy's marking draw their now common enemy directly to them?
Comparisons to The Twilight Saga nearly kept me from reaching for this book . While I will admit that there are some similarities in the storyline like many paranormal romances, that's where the likeness ends. Katy is what Bella never had the courage to be, an character capable of thinking for herself and sticking to her beliefs, right or wrong. Daemon on the other hand is arrogant, sarcastic and irritating but also a young man with goes after what he wants with determination and conviction. If you add the Hot factor to that, Daemon makes Edward's character look like a prep boy with fangs. All of J. L. Armentrout's characters have more grit and sense of self than those in Meyer's Twilight.. I loved this book and hope I have convinced all those sitting on the fence to take the dive. You Won't Regret It! 4.5 out of 5 Stars
