Review:
*Spoilers if you haven’t read the previous books in the Lux Series*
Now THAT is how you finish a series! Opposition was fast paced, completely addicting, had me on the edge of my seat and the twists knocked the breath out of me. Some of those twists broke me and the tears refused to stop spilling down my face. And other twists had me crying tears of joy. Katy and Daemon had so much on the line and I was terrified for what the future had in store for them. How could they ever get past the disaster that was the ending of Origin? Daemon, Katy, Dee, Archer and the rest of the crew will always have a special place in my heart, and I will always treasure their journey in the Lux Series.
Katy – I was probably one step away from going to that dark corner in the room and rocking back and forth, but I couldn’t break down, and I couldn’t sleep. Not when Daemon was out there somewhere, and not when the whole world was on the verge of…hell, turning into a dystopia, like one of those novels I used to read.
Daemon and his siblings are gone. Daedalus was correct. And yet the world is still spinning, but how? Daedalus wasn’t lying when they said they were preparing for the Luxen to descend upon Earth and wipe out mankind. Daedalus wasn’t just creating fear when they asked Katy which side Daemon and his siblings would stand by. Katy, Beth, Archer and Luc have been left behind and finally decide that first things first, they have to help Beth. There are things every woman needs while being pregnant, regardless of whether they are caring a freaky little Origin or not, so off to the store Archer and Katy go. Not everything can go as planned, and while Katy and Archer are in the store the Luxen attack. These aren’t the friendly Luxen that we have grown to know and love, they are ruthless, heartless killers that are devoid of any emotion. Katy gets caught in the crossfire and Dawson appears and blasts Katy across the room. She was attacked by someone she considered a friend. Waking up, she finds herself in the lair of the aliens that have invaded that town. And things are all wrong. Dee isn’t right and Daemon treats her like when he first met her. They are just as cold as the newly arrived Luxen. The only reason her life was spared is because her death would equal Daemon’s death. Well, and besides the fact that Daemon would lose his play toy. While Katy’s heart is breaking into a million pieces, where will they all go from here?
Katy – He lowered his head until our mouths were so close that we were the same air. It was all so unfair. From the moment he’d disappeared, all I wanted was to see him again, to touch him and to love him, and now I didn’t really know what was standing in front of me.
This is one of my favorite series. Daemon Black will always be the one that I will hold all other BBFs against. His infuriating smug sexiness and bad-ass sexy self was so swoon worthy. And his need to take care of the ones he loved, above all else, was perfection in my eyes. And Katy turned into someone that I not only truly respected but is one of my favorite heroines. She was kick-ass, never took anyone’s crap and I loved every snarky comment that came out of her mouth! But Katy and Daemon together, OH WOW. Like I’ve said before, they are giggle inducing, their chemistry is through the roof hot, and they still have those moments that make you sigh and melt into a puddle. When you mix that in with secondary characters that will forever have a place in your heart and a storyline that was addicting, well, that creates books that are nearly impossible to put down. This is a book and a series that I cannot recommend highly enough! You can count on it that I will treasure all of the days that I will re-read this series again and again!
Katy – The kiss…holy alien babies, the kiss was a raw combination of lust and possession. There was a taste of desperation and anger as our teeth clanged, but the hand against my cheek was so gentle, barely there, and all those emotions were in the kiss…
