Opal (Lux #3)

 
 

by Jennifer L. Armentrout

 

 

After everything, I’m no longer the same Katy. I’m different... And I’m not sure what that will mean in the end. When each step we take in discovering the truth puts us in the path of the secret organization responsible for torturing and testing hybrids, the more I realize there is no end to what I’m capable of. The death of someone close still lingers, help comes from the most unlikely source, and friends will become the deadliest of enemies, but we won’t turn back. Even if the outcome will shatter our worlds forever.

Together we’re stronger... and they know it.

REVIEW:

I think I was expecting explosions from this book because after reading Onyx, i refused to settle for anything less. I got explosions, that is true and I got them from Daemon and Katy but not from the story (except the last 50 pages- more on that later!)
I just felt the plot was stalling in the beginning and the middle part of the book, with no major action happening and the failed attempts (ouch!) 

 But don't get me wrong. The book is still great.

Daemon and Katy are finally together and trying to do things the right way *wink*. But that gets tough as many problems crop up.Daemon shows more of his hot side than the cold one in this book (How can I ever date a human guy now?). Katy is amazing and stronger than ever. One awesome book heroine.  Dawson is back but he is not our Shadow's Dawson anymore. He is grim and hell bent on saving Bethany from DOD (problem #1). Dee, my heart breaks for her. Adam's death changed our alien version of Tinker Bell and she kinda blames Katy for it, so, its not friendship day for these two in this book. DOD is laying a trap (problem #2) and some douches make a comeback (problem #3)

Read this book for:

1) Jennifer L. Armentrout's very youth oriented writing.

 “His dinner included three hamburgers and two orders of fries. I had no idea where those calories went. To his ego, maybe?”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, Opal
 
2) Daemon and Katy's scenes. These two are the pillars of this series.

3) To find out whether Daemon's says those three words. 

4) The ending- which was plain evil. Those last 50 pages *sobbing* made me clutch the book so tightly! 

Was that even necessary? And now I can't wait to read Origin (Lux #4) because I feel a happy ending is overdue for all of them.
