Book Two of the bestselling Lux series 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 is … come to town…
The Department of Defense is 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…

I am going to be honest here. Katy really annoyed the shit out of me in this one. She was a big know it all and didn’t listen to anyone around her, which resulted in shit blowing up in her face in the worst possible way. Not to mention she was being a very bad friend to Dee and the girls which I did not like at all.
Onyx follows the events of …
The whole Lux series by Jennifer L. Armentrout is a great mix of action, romance, government fiction, it will have you wanting more and more. Excellent book series!!!
Deamon is determined to prove to her that he likes her, not just because of their connection. His job gets extra difficult with a new guy in town. Blake zooms on Katy almost immediately. He is sure he can help her, cause something similar happened to him, but Katy shouldn’t trust him.
My biggest issue with the book was Katy, while I like her, …
I’m so enamored by this series! Definitely need to read Shadows & Obsidian before you start this one. Now that Katy and Daemon share an unbreakable bond, she’s fighting the pull she feels towards him, causing her to turn to another friend and keep secrets. Trying to avoid the DoD, they discover even more enemies coming out of the woodwork.
I love …

Genre: Science Fiction, Fantasy Fiction, Alien Mojo
Narration: Single POV
Primary Characters: Daemon Black, Katy Swartz
I sort of binge read this entire series. This review may contain spoilers from book 1. I wasn’t happy with the first half but second half compensated for that.
The first half of the book sort …
Really this was amazing, emotional ride for sure. So many people you can’t trust, heart breaking, government scheming. I love deamon, but I have a hard time accepting the name?
So kat is the reason for the 3 starts. She’s so stupid. Really, when she realise she’s double moral, she just keep on being a total bitch and acting like a kid. Every …
Thanks for hurting my heart with this one. I’m scared of the angst! Honestly though, the angst was okay! Being a high school paranormal romance, I thought this would be too full of cheesiness and angst, but JLA really does a good job of keeping the angst to the perfect level. That way you don’t stop reading because you have to know! And you also …
OH MY GOD. WILL KATY AND DAEMON EVER STOP HAVING THE SAME CONVERSATION??? GAH!!!! I had to lower my already mediocre rating because 30 out of the 36 chapters of this book felt like Katy and Daemon having the same effing argument on repeat.
Daemon: “I like you, I think we should be together.”
Katy: “You don’t like me, it’s the alien connection …
When you find an author that has the ability to suck you into her story so deeply, that you can feel yourself getting emotionally involved with the characters, that’s when you need to accept that you just found your favorite author from all times.
When you find a story that no matter how many times you read it, it drags you in like it was the …

As the first book, this book is told from Katy’s POV. After all the events of the last book Daemon now has to prove himself. It will take a lot of pushing and pulling again for them to get there. There are betrayals and a …
(Reread Review)
The second books in Lux series picks up where Obsidian left out. After everything that happened Katy just wants to have some sense of normality and spend time with Dee and the rest of their friends. And ignore Daemon and his suddenly attention to her, because now he is not running away from what he feels for her but she is still …
I love this Series
Is like coming home
Oh well. I can honestly say that this book kept me on my toes from beginning to end.
Daemon and Katy start off being their usual selves until Daemon’s other side surfaces. This only reinforces Katy’s feelings, but a newcomer who might be friend or foe threatens the progress that they have made. Discord, jealousy and mistrust rear their ugly …
Onyx is the second book in the Lux series and I just loved getting to reenter this great world. I just loved this book it was just so easy to get lost in. I just can’t get enough of this world or it’s great characters. I can’t wait to see what’s next from this author.
Katy and Daemon are again in trouble as they try to figure out everything that’s going on with the DOD and the new boy in school and the strange things that have been going on with Katy, and to make matters worse (for Katy), Daemon has decided that he wants her and will stop at nothing to convince her to be with him. As if life couldn’t get even …
Aaaaaaaaaaaah! That ending!
I am honestly glad that this series is already over or I would lose my mind waiting for the sequel.
I mentioned in my review of Obsidian that this story reminds me of Twilight. Well, not anymore. Because a lot has happened in Onyx, aside from the constant angst between our two main characters who were both so …
Ok, so for a lot of this book I wanted to throat punch Katy but it did get better. It was predictable, but I still loved it and devoured it in one day. Daemon is growing on me more and more.
This series gets better and better!
This review MAY contain spoilers.
I can only imagine that reading this book is the closest feeling to the high a person gets from injecting drugs. You know, without all the nastiness of side effects and such. If I could melt this book down I bet I could sell it like heroin. I’d be set for life and would want for nothing ever again. -sigh- I …
Show don’t tell. Can’t connect with the characters because there weren’t enough descriptions of anything to give us a good visual. And Katy was hard to like.
