When linguist Andrew Dennison is yanked from his bed by the Secret Service and taken to a top secret facility in the desert , he has no idea he’s been brought there to translate the words of an ancient demon.
He joins pretty but cold veterinarian Sun Jones, eccentric molecular biologist Dr. Frank Belgium, and a hodge-podge of religious, military, and science personnel to try and figure out if … figure out if the creature is, indeed, Satan.
But things quickly go bad, and very soon Andy isn’t just fighting for his life, but the lives of everyone on earth…
All hell is about to break loose. For real.

Beelzebub in an underground bunker … what could possibly go wrong?
Origin A Technothriller
By: J. A. Konrath
Narrated by: Luke Daniels
This is an awesome thriller! A creature is found in 1906, asleep in a coma state. Its monstrous, like our idea of a demon. It is kept secret underground, examined, and monitored for all this time but now it woke up. Its making speech so they get a specialist to go with the other …
Makes you think and explore your belief in a higher power and the natural order of things. It takes a wonderful paradigm shift of what we believe about spirituality.
I wasn’t sure about this book by Konrath as the ones I had read before were from the Jack Daniels series and were very easy reads. This one gets the 4* because it was definitely written for a ‘scare’ factor about human mankind . Read the summary and you’ll understand. It was packed with action and I can see that this would be a great movie. …
Konrath weaves a spellbinding story with layers of secondary messaging. At times, those messages seem to overtake the primary plot, but then the focus returns. Although the author tries to include science in the story to add interest, those feeble efforts are so poor as to be laughable. Overall, I found this an original premise, and there are …
We are counting down to the Halloween season and this is just the right book!
I have read the LT ‘Jack’ Daniels books by this author and thought I would give this book a try. I found the explanations for the creature or demon to be very interesting. You have a group of professionals from fields such as military, science, religion, medical, and …
This is a book I have decided to reread because the sequel has come out. I read origin years ago & it was a cliff hanger ending. I found this book a page turner & could not put it down.
I found this book to be a bit over rated. I do like to see what others thought of a book before I purchase it and perhaps I was not looking so hard when this was offered to me for free.
The idea of the story arc is a good one, but it fell into the cookie cutter frame work once it got going when the unknown monster woke up. Though they did …
This was a really great book to read. It was original and biblical. By biblical not preaching but if you read you will see, Characters were developed and made you feel like you know some of them. Something not most authors can do this but these two did it. I look forward to the rest of the series I would not consider this a horror book. I would …
I wish this story would go on forever! some of the best writing I’ve read. hooked on this series. bought the whole thing after reading just the first one. author didn’t disappoint in any of the books. I even got my daughter to read this and we’ve both read the entire series three times.
Holy alien babies everywhere. My heart was somewhere in my throat the entire time I read Origin . It’s packed with action and heart-wrenching moments which made me feel every emotion under the sun; desperation, disbelief, disgust, excitement, surprise, sadness, anger and joy. Please bare with me while I pull myself together to write somewhat …
My Rating: *****
Type: Series –Book4
Genre: Science Fiction, Fantasy Fiction, Alien Mojo
Narration: Dual POV
Primary Characters: Daemon Black, Katy Swartz
Another exciting sequel in this series. I became a huge fan of this series after I finished reading this.in Love with this alien mojo. This review may contain spoilers from last book. …
Holy crap that was intense.
This have it all, I can’t even put into words how perfect this book is, and how horrible wrong people are acting because of love or the greater good. Really, it’s awful, and it hurts. But you get to see why people are doing insane and wrong thing, without even seeing it as a problem.
The arum though, they need to be …

: Origin

: Jennifer L. Armentrout
: 5/5
This is the first book in the series told from both Katy’s and Daemon’s point of view and I loved it. I mean after that crazy cliffhanger, things pick up right where they left off. Katy and Daemon were finally together, …
(Reread Review)
Soooo I think Origin is probably my favorite Lux series book!!! I really love it!!!
As we know at the end of Opal, Katy falls into Daedalus hands and, as we suspected they are wicked evil lunatics….and then some. They have this twisted vision that what they are doing is for the greater good, and don’t get me wrong, we discover a …
This is probably my favorite book of the series!!
I am loving this series. It keeps getting better and better.
Daemon and Katy have to go through a lot in this book. Some of it is heartbreaking, but it’s what make the story more credible. The unconditional love between Daemon and Katy is awesome. There are lots of surprises, some of which are incredible.
The “Origin” is a valuable addition to …
Origin is the fourth book in the Lux series and I just loved getting to reenter this world. I was just swept away and I just absolutely can’t get enough of this series or it’s wonderful characters. This author just has a way of drawing you in with her wonderful stories and you just can’t get enough of them. I can’t wait to see what happens next.
Excruciatingly, Emotionally Phenomenal… Once again I am breathless and irrevocably altered on a fundamental level by this story. After being left fully overwhelmed by Opal, Origin immediately pushed me right back to the brink of sanity with its nonstop, heart-pounding, excruciatingly emotional action. This installment of the Lux Series is a …
This installment is a lot darker than the others. I’m trying so hard not to give spoilers here, but I think it’ll be safe to say that Katy and Daemon got split up and neither one of them are taking that well. Daemon would burn the world for her and it shows in this novel. It’s also the first time you get to read from Daemon’s point of view in the …
