ONYX by J. L. Armentrout

Book Two - Lux Series

Katy's still unconvinced that Daemon's sudden change of feelings for her isn't just this crazy alien connection they share. He only thinks he cares, but surely his feelings will fade with their connection or when he gets bored with the little human girl, namely Katy.  Daemon on the other hand is trying to curtail some of his attitude and sarcasm to show his "Kitten", what he feels is real. At school Daemon repeatedly makes public gestures to prove to Katy his feelings are genuine and the more Katy tries for self preservation by pushing him away, the more she finds herself falling for him.  Katy's resolve is fading when a new boy by the name of Blake, shows up at school.  Blake is Daemon's opposite, brown hair, blue eyes and human, not to mention pretty hot.  Blake's real surprise though, is just how much he knows about Katy and Daemon, and Katy's emerging and uncontrolled powers. Will Blake come between Katy and Daemon?  How does Blake know all the Luxen secrets?   Will Daemon and Katy learn who all their enemies are?  Will there ever be time enough for Daemon and Katy to reveal their true hearts to each other?  So many questions remain.

This is usually where I list any flaws I find with the story.  That said, I have to admit that I don't really have a fault to find. The characters, the storyline and the way there are still so many unanswered questions all work for me.  J. L. Armentrout has again demonstrated that she writes far beyond most authors of the YA genre.  After reading "Obsidian", which I loved, I wasn't sure that Ms. Armentrout could keep the pace of the storyline and the vibrancy of the characters in "Onyx".  I should have known, it's not just as good . . .it's better!  Read It - Don't Miss Out.  5 out of 5 Stars.
