Being connected to Daemon Black sucks…
Thanks to his alien mojo, Daemon’s determined to prove what he feels for me is more than a product of our bizarro connection. So I’ve sworn him off, even though he’s running more hot than cold these days. But we’ve got bigger problems.
Something worse than the Arum has come to town…
The Department of Defense are here. If they ever find out what Daemon can do and that we're linked, I’m a goner. So is he. And there's this new boy in school who’s got a secret of his own. He knows what’s happened to me and he can help, but to do so, I have to lie to Daemon and stay away from him. Like that's possible. Against all common sense, I'm falling for Daemon. Hard.
But then everything changes…
I’ve seen someone who shouldn’t be alive. And I have to tell Daemon, even though I know he’s never going to stop searching until he gets the truth. What happened to his brother? Who betrayed him? And what does the DOD want from them—from me?
No one is who they seem. And not everyone will survive the lies…
5 HEARTS!

Plot: 50 points
I love the plot of this series a lot!!! I like the way Armentrout can take a supernatural subject (aliens) and make something so cool out of them (made of light! Not weird green and slimy!) Luxen’s are some pretty cool (and attractive) aliens! And enemies that are strongest at night? In the dark? Well played Armentrout! Oh and yes...the stones (obsidian, onyx, and opal) ARE incorporated into the books :)
Characters: 15 points
All the characters in the series are great! The slow progression of romance, and the relationships and friendships between everyone is typical of an Armentrout book! Perfect! And of course, Daemon is my favorite flavor...tall, dark and handsome!
Names of characters: 3 points
I am pretty much okay with everyone’s name except…Kat. I mean, I could go for something a little cooler. Then again, how would Daemon be able to tease her so much about being a Kitty Kat? LOL. Anyways, all the names are pretty good! None of the names sounded stupid or anything.
Writing/Depth: 30 points
Jennifer Armentrout is one of my favorite authors because she is the best at writing in depth and incorporating just the right about on emotions to a scene. She stays on the scene for just the right amount of time, never too lengthy and drawn out, and the humor and whit always leaves me smiling!
TOTAL: 98 POINTS
