Lux #1.5
Oblivion
Alternate cover edition of ASIN B0191KMHDM
In this special eBook version, experience OBSIDIAN, ONYX, and OPAL as told by Daemon Black�
I knew the moment Katy Swartz moved in next door, there was going to be trouble. Lots of it.
And trouble’s the last thing I need, since I’m not exactly from around here. My people arrived on Earth from Lux, a planet thirteen billion light years away. Plus, if there’s one thing I know, it’s that humans can’t be trusted. We scare them. We can do things they only dream about, and honestly, we make them look weak as hell. ‘Cuz they are.
But Kat is getting to me in ways no one else has, and I can't stop myself from wanting her—or wanting to use my powers to protect her. She makes me weak, and I’m the strongest of our kind, tasked with protecting us all. So this one simple girl…she can mean the end for us. Because the Luxen have an even bigger enemy—the Arum, and I need to stay on my game.
Falling for Katy—a human—won't just place her in danger. It could get us all killed, and that’s one thing I’ll never let happen...

A book lover always wants to read one of their favorite books for the first time again....Oblivion is a way to do that with Obsidian <3
November 29, 2023
Daemon Black is back!!!! and I'm over here like...
You're probably thinking "wow, Angela isn't this a little over kill??"... NO. NO ITS NOT!
I've been waiting for this! I asked for this the second I finished Opposition. I love Aliens. I love hot guys. And I more than love when the two are combined. I usually hate when authors re-release books from another POV. Feel like it's a waste of time. This was not a problem with Oblivion. I was more than happy using my evening reliving events with one of my favorite fictional book booboos.

Holy Alien Babies Everywhere
Daemon Black is back!!
This book is so hilarious!! lol! I can tell that our hottie Daemon made me laugh out loud a lot and I found myself smile & giggle throughout the entire book. Gahhh.. love him even more then that time I read in Katy POV.
This is very long journey man, because it is told from the same story as Obsidian, Onyx, and Opal.. Yessss 3 freakin books all in one!! but this time, just in Daemon POV.
Not have to say much about the plot since I think all Lux fans already know it. So.. my review will full of talking-of-my-favorite-scenes between Daemon & Katy and stuff! Hahaha wanna giddy, giddy myself *don’t mind me.* ;�)
What’d happen when a Normal Girl lives next Alien Door?
Woot woot.. Reading from Daemon POV. made him so much more complex in my eyes. We all know from Katy POV. that Daemon act such a jerk to her throughout the entire book. *Dickhead Daemon with his Alien mojo!!*
But after I get into his head through this Oblivion. Holy Baby Alien.. What he say, the way he act are just soooooo opposite of what he think!! *Geeeeeezzz* I want to slap and kiss this hottie all over his sexiness at the same time.
Being such a dick to her while wanting her so damn much.
A feisty girl next door who will make his alien life not in peace anymore. *Not that his life is peaceful haha..* My first favorite scene that doesn't have in Obsidian.
All the hot scenes are still there. Can’t forget that lake scene till now. When she slip and he help her, and that chest to chest. >O< Imagine how wide my mouth open. I suddenly felt the sexual tension in my vein. And u know.. theirlove lust/hate struggled feeling made it even hotter. *damn*
My lmao moment..
Kickass Katy: “Yeah, I have a blog�
Hottie Daemon: “What’s your blog’s name?�
Kickass Katy: “None of your business�
Hottie Daemon: “Interesting name.� Hahaha Lol!
I also love every times when he poke her back in the classroom, it made me smile like crazy. xD.. :�) But what is my most fave?..Tada.. Definitely that Spaghetti scene!!!!!
Oh my gosh, this girl is awesome. Even Daemon laugh after that. Hahaha don’t even wanna imagine the look on Ash’s face. Woo.. It has no doubt while he lovethis his Kitten girl!
Move to Onyx..
I think all Lux fan will never forget this scene since it is EPIC, and some of you guys might wanna ditch Katy and replace her in that scene.
GIVE ME THIS CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE!!!!!!
GIMME!!! GIMME!!! >O<
"Hey Kitten.. *swoon* Katy is so annoying in this one. She never wants to admit her feelings to Daemon, and blame him that he actually doesn’t want her. That his feeling to her is because of their connection!! Damn Katy.
Whatever, I love every name Daemon calls Beep.. Oops Blake. xP His smartass, cocky arrogance just made me lol and soften my anger to Katy. He is that so much care about her, Why she does not see it??? *Geeeezz*
Move from their tension to their sweet romance at Opal..
How sweet and cuteee of Daemon he buy her the Macbook Air!!! *squeeeeze*He know how much reviewing book mean to her. And he is not hesitate to buy her that Macbook Air, just because he want her to be happy and that make him happy even more.
But their sweet love life will not be in peace, that because of that Bart? Bread? Box? O: Whatever, I HATE that man!!!!!
AND THE END JUST MADE MY HEART ACHED IN PAIN.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Before Reading:
I have to admit that I hate when authors write their most popular book with a different POV and make money out of that. I just think they are getting advantage of people who would do anything to read more about their favourite characters.
That being said, I AM TOTALLY BUYING THIS BOOK.
I'm ridiculously in love with Daemon Black AND I HAVE TO READ anything that involves him.
Also Daemon and Kat warm my cold, dead heart.
---------------
After Reading:
Obsidian: 2.5
Onyx: 3
Opal: 3.5
Well, I thought I would like this more. I just remember everything that happened in the first 3 books so I was... bored at times. I would recommend you to read this after you forget what happens in the first 3 books a little. (At least some of the scenes)
I can't tell you how much I wanted to read that last chapter of Opal for years and I'm glad that I've finally read that but overall? I wasn't that impressed. I was glad to have a little more time with Daemon though.
I've always known Jennifer L. Armentrout's writing is cheesy and engaging, but now I find it juvenile and cringe worthy. I don't know why! I think I've just read too much JLA.
Her stories are so fun to read but I'm just not... loving them anymore.
After that horrible realization I would still recommend for all the Daemon Black fans to read this. Because he is awesome and everyone knows it. (Including himself)

**Original Review 12/18/2015**
Yay! I just conquered the biggest book I’ve ever read in my life! As you know, Oblivion is a three-in-one book from Daemon’s POV so I’m going to tell you what I think about every single section independently.
Obsidian
This version of Lux is like retelling the story again from a different character’s point of view and luckily, it happened to be Daemon’s. It’s actually enjoyable to live in his head all the time and though he was the biggest jerk in the original Obsidian, the more we know what he’s thinking or what he’s feeling, the less I think about him that way. Honestly, I’ve always thought he was a man, umm�, an alien with few words because of how he acted, but after seeing his real mind, I was surprised he had lots of complicated thoughts when it came to Kat. Although I appreciated this story, I still highly suggest you re-read the original version BEFORE starting this one. For me, there were some deleted conversations or scenes between Katy and Daemon, for example, most of their moments in school, at lunchtime, in class, or after school were cut from this book, perhaps that’s because they had nothing to do with Daemon’s POV, but I felt a little bit hard to relate whenever the plot abruptly jumped to his own situation. Thus, it’s a good idea to connect the two books together if you want to get a better understanding about what’s really going on in this series.
The reason I kind of enjoy reading this is that I totally miss those awesome characters so much! If memories serve, I read the entire Lux series several months ago and all I clearly remember is how much I love this story but can’t fully describe the plot in details. Daemon’s great; Katy’s remarkable; Dee’s funny; The Thompsons� not-bad; and there are more memorable roles as the story goes on and on. And now I can experience the extraterrestrial journey once again…with DAEMON! No matter how many times I read about his interaction with his sister, Dee, I can’t help but burst out laughing hard. They were really adorable.
Much to my surprise, there’s bonus content in the version I read. And it’s super-duper amazing! I can’t believe the tiniest interaction between them could be that sweet, beautiful, and heart-warming even. I really love this unseen moment a lot!
Onyx
As for Daemon’s view on the second book of the series, I personally think that it’s so much shorter than the previous one. It seemed that he spent most of his time patrolling around the state and figuring out what was going on with Kat after . Therefore, the biggest difference between this one and Kat’s POV was the whole school and her training with Blake parts. That’s why there weren’t much to say about the story itself. Although this section is comparatively short, I did enjoy reading his honest thoughts on many issues where Kat was concerned, mainly because I could actually feel his happiness, grief, and the hurtful isolation of being betrayed and distrusted by Kat, the only person he loved.
While reading this book, it reminded me how much I’ve missed about their smart banters. Even though the conversation was mostly the same, nothing could prevent me from loving them once again.
Gladly, not everything in the book was all identical. There were something entirely new and knowing those unmentioned plot undoubtedly gave Oblivion bonus points.
Ha! See? You’re practically stalking her blog, Daemon!
Moreover, we indeed get more insight into the real, thoughtful, and brooding version of Daemon, along with the sweetest side of him. And I totally swooned over those moments, you know, the whole heart-melting, palms-sweating, knees-buckling and all that jazz.
So yeah, I admired how Kat managed to bring those pieces back in his heart the more they knew each other; just because she didn’t fully trust him at first and believed in that horrible B-L-A-K-E guy and caused the irrevocable loss doesn’t mean she would change what he felt for her ever since.
Opal
This is the most heart-wrenching part in the entire book, in my opinion. Since Dawson was back and there were moments when he wasn't prepared to face his brother, we get to see what Daemon thought the whole time. It’s a perfect complement to know the situation from both Kat and Daemon’s viewpoints and it indeed made the story more complete. Moreover, Daemon expressed more emotions here as well, particularly speaking of his family, including Kat. He definitely cared more, so much more, about her and he actually dealt with many hidden breakdowns that we never knew before. At least he turned into a sweet and caring guy eventually!best most heartbreaking scene was undoubtedly the last chapter, where Daemon was separated from Kat by that freaking blue laser, with merely a few inches right in front of him, and she was forever trapped with a horde of Arums along with soldiers.
Oh god, a huge part of me died a little when I read this� The feeling was extremely intense and raw and it wasn’t something easy to get rid of anytime soon.
P.S. I’m surprised to find that Kat’s disappearance wasn’t the end of this book, yet! There was another sneak peek from Paris(the Luxen) and his childhood BF, Luc. It sort of explained why Luc was willing to risk all of others� lives and even made Kat captured. At first, I thought I’d get really pissed off about his manipulation, but unexpectedly, I started to get the logic behind his intention.
Overall
I absolutely adore this HUGE book, which is over 1,300 pages, and it’s a real blessing for all of us to live in Daemon’s head so long. Just a small reminder that only the e-book version contains all three books from Lux, whereas the paperback one included just Obsidian. The proportion of these three books is what I find a little bit unbalanced. The first 50% of the book covers Obsidian and 25% for Onyx and Opal respectively. Although there isn’t equal coverage for them, the story is far from rushed. Despite the fact that it seems rather short for the last 2 books, the overall plot is perfectly wrapped up. Therefore, I highly recommend Oblivion to anyone who had read the Lux series and genuinely suggest that you combine both POVs to have a better insight for the story. Let’s all get into Daemon invasion in this festive season, guys! Merry Christmas to you all!
Lastly, Daemon has something to say, too�
Have you checked out the special soundtrack made for this book? The lyrics fit Daemon and Kat's story so well and hope you like it!

They were really adorable.
“Where is the ice cream?� Her voice was strained.
I leaned against the counter. “What ice cream?�
“What ice cream?� she repeated slowly, disbelief ringing in her voice. “The half a gallon of rocky road ice cream that was in the freezer yesterday!�
“H³Ü³ó.â€�
“I can’t believe you ate all the ice cream, Daemon!�
“I didn’t eat all of it.�
“Oh, so it ate itself?� Dee’s shriek could burst eardrums. “Did the spoon eat it? Oh wait, I know. The carton ate it.�
“Actually, I think the freezer ate it,� I responded drily.
Much to my surprise, there’s bonus content in the version I read. And it’s super-duper amazing! I can’t believe the tiniest interaction between them could be that sweet, beautiful, and heart-warming even. I really love this unseen moment a lot!
Then, without really thinking about it, I placed one hand on the arm of the couch, braced myself, and then bent down. I pressed my lips to her cool cheek and then drew back.
Onyx
As for Daemon’s view on the second book of the series, I personally think that it’s so much shorter than the previous one. It seemed that he spent most of his time patrolling around the state and figuring out what was going on with Kat after . Therefore, the biggest difference between this one and Kat’s POV was the whole school and her training with Blake parts. That’s why there weren’t much to say about the story itself. Although this section is comparatively short, I did enjoy reading his honest thoughts on many issues where Kat was concerned, mainly because I could actually feel his happiness, grief, and the hurtful isolation of being betrayed and distrusted by Kat, the only person he loved.
So things changed. We didn’t really talk at school. I left her alone in trig class and at lunch. I saw her in the evenings, and this separation between us was chipping away at a hidden part of me, but I had to draw a line somewhere.
While reading this book, it reminded me how much I’ve missed about their smart banters. Even though the conversation was mostly the same, nothing could prevent me from loving them once again.
I grinned. “I bet that by New Year’s Day, you will have admitted that you’re madly, deeply, and irrevocably—�
“Wow. Want to throw another adverb out there?� Her cheeks were bright red.
Winking at her, I came up with another one. “How about irresistibly?�
“I’m surprised you know what an adverb is,� she muttered.
“Stop distracting me, Kitten. Back to my bet—by New Year’s Day, you’ll have admitted that you’re madly, deeply, irrevocably, and irresistibly in love with me.�
Gladly, not everything in the book was all identical. There were something entirely new and knowing those unmentioned plot undoubtedly gave Oblivion bonus points.
And I knew she had gotten a new laptop because I’d received an email alert this morning signaling that she’d posted on her blog. Yeah, I’d signed up for alerts. Whatever.
Ha! See? You’re practically stalking her blog, Daemon!
Moreover, we indeed get more insight into the real, thoughtful, and brooding version of Daemon, along with the sweetest side of him. And I totally swooned over those moments, you know, the whole heart-melting, palms-sweating, knees-buckling and all that jazz.
And after I recapped the show, I closed my eyes and told her in my own language the truth.
I don’t know how to make you better. I wish I did, but please stay with me. I need you, and I can’t lose you. Not now. Not ever.
So yeah, I admired how Kat managed to bring those pieces back in his heart the more they knew each other; just because she didn’t fully trust him at first and believed in that horrible B-L-A-K-E guy and caused the irrevocable loss doesn’t mean she would change what he felt for her ever since.
“Did you find it?� she asked.
I moved my hand over my chest. “Find what, Kitten?�
“What you were searching for?�
My eyes opened and my gaze held hers. “Yeah, sometimes, I think I did.�
Opal
This is the most heart-wrenching part in the entire book, in my opinion. Since Dawson was back and there were moments when he wasn't prepared to face his brother, we get to see what Daemon thought the whole time. It’s a perfect complement to know the situation from both Kat and Daemon’s viewpoints and it indeed made the story more complete. Moreover, Daemon expressed more emotions here as well, particularly speaking of his family, including Kat. He definitely cared more, so much more, about her and he actually dealt with many hidden breakdowns that we never knew before. At least he turned into a sweet and caring guy eventually!
You burn bright, to me at least, and I know you could handle it, but the last thing I want is your light to be tainted by something so dark.The
Kat dropped to her knees, and I was a second behind her, hitting mine as Matthew managed to bring me down. Her lower lip trembled as her chest rose sharply. Something cracked in my chest, fissured down my core. Terror I’d never known before exploded.
“No! Please! No!� My voice broke. “Kat!�
They were crowding in around her, but she never took her eyes off me. She held my gaze as I tried to shake off Matthew.
Then she smiled a little, and my chest imploded. It was weak and wobbly and frail, and a part of me died right there.
“It’ll be okay,� she said, her eyes welling with wetness. “It’ll be all right.�
The doors were almost closed as I reached out, my fingers spread. Matthew jerked me back, and I braced myself with my other hand. My heart pounded as she was seconds from disappearing behind the door, seconds from being cut off from me.
My chest ripped right open and I said what I should’ve said days ago, weeks and months ago. “I love you, Katy. Always have. Always will. I will come back for you. I will—�
The doors sealed shut.
She was gone.
Oh god, a huge part of me died a little when I read this� The feeling was extremely intense and raw and it wasn’t something easy to get rid of anytime soon.
P.S. I’m surprised to find that Kat’s disappearance wasn’t the end of this book, yet! There was another sneak peek from Paris(the Luxen) and his childhood BF, Luc. It sort of explained why Luc was willing to risk all of others� lives and even made Kat captured. At first, I thought I’d get really pissed off about his manipulation, but unexpectedly, I started to get the logic behind his intention.
Overall
I absolutely adore this HUGE book, which is over 1,300 pages, and it’s a real blessing for all of us to live in Daemon’s head so long. Just a small reminder that only the e-book version contains all three books from Lux, whereas the paperback one included just Obsidian. The proportion of these three books is what I find a little bit unbalanced. The first 50% of the book covers Obsidian and 25% for Onyx and Opal respectively. Although there isn’t equal coverage for them, the story is far from rushed. Despite the fact that it seems rather short for the last 2 books, the overall plot is perfectly wrapped up. Therefore, I highly recommend Oblivion to anyone who had read the Lux series and genuinely suggest that you combine both POVs to have a better insight for the story. Let’s all get into Daemon invasion in this festive season, guys! Merry Christmas to you all!
Lastly, Daemon has something to say, too�

Daemon Black �
Ohhhh snap! Daemon Black is back! I love the Lux series and this is just another great installment. It was so much fun reliving the first half of the series. You really need the kindle version of Oblivion because it contains Obsidian, Onyx and Opal. It is REALLY long, but worth it! I think I might have to continue on with Origin and Opposition just to have a full reread of the series!
Daemon is so infuriating, but just so... swoon.
I don’t know how to make you better. I wish I did, but please stay with me. I need you, and I can’t lose you. Not now. Not ever.
You love her.
I do. I love her.
And I also know that although she wasn’t mine now, she would be one day.
Shut up! I need this! Obsidian necklace.

Daemon’s POV and in a way he will make you fall in love with him all over again.
You will laugh with his first impression of Kate:
I sized her up as I drifted silently through the trees. She appeared of average height. Actually, everything about her seemed average....
..... My head cocked to the side at the sound of her voice, which was also…average.
You will roll your eyes with his description about himself:
My green eyes were a family trait and my hair tended to curl a bit on the ends whether I wanted it to or not, but my six-foot-something awesome frame and movie-star good looks—well those just fit my stellar personality.
And you will feel sad when you meet again alive all the characters that you know they will die later on in the story...
The book has more than one thousand pages and three parts:
1. “Oblivion � , i.e. Daemon' POV for Obsidian
2. Untitled, Daemon's POV for Onyx
3. Untitled, Daemon's POV for Opal
The most interesting part was surely Oblivion, because Obsidian was the book in which Daemon kept the most secrets from Katy. It was nice to see the way he was thinking and how much Katy influenced him.
The other two parts were a bit repetitive in comparison to the original books, but I didn't mind too much. It was like reading again a book that you love.

“You know what? I’ve got zero fucks to give when it comes to anything you’ve got to say.�
(Technically, it is 3.5, but I am rounding it up because I can.)
Ah, Daemon, Daemon. I've really missed your asshole-ish self, it is true. Even if many deem your own book unecessary, rest easy, my son, I have enjoyed reading the story once again from your perspective. And I even more enjoyed the fact that we got your POV for all the first three books. Yay, more from me.
Joking aside, I knew I was going to read this book, the moment I came across it on goodreads, because, a) it's Daemon's POV, b) I wanted to have a re-read of the series and c) it's Daemon's POV.
I honestly don't care what you, but I sure as hell enjoyed.
Now to be more specific on ratings.
Obsidian: 3.5 stars
Onyx: 3 stars
Opal: 4 stars
About Obsidian, I knew I was going to be at least a little pissed of at Daemon, so naturally certain parts ticked me off, but it was certainly quite nice being inside his head and seeing everything that was happening at the time from his perspective. Obviously, those ups and downs in his mood and his actions was what pissed me off, but hell, I enjoyed it in the end. Very much.
Now, Onyx. Aaaah... *long suffering sigh* I knew reading Onyx was going to be rather painful because I remember how stupid Katy was during that book. And surprise, surprise, she still annoyed me reading this one as well. And I have to admit to taking Daemon's side on this one. Miscommunication is a nasty bitch and we saw it first-hand in this. Other than that, it was good seeing that other Elder that I had no idea even existed until now (Lydia was her name...?). I still don't remember if we've ever seen her somewhere else.
Anyway, moving on.
Opal is probably my favourite book of the series, I don't know why, be it the ending, be it Daemon's and Katy's relationship evolving, be it Dawson, I just know that I really really love this and it's my favourite from both Kat's and Daemon's POV.
Extra: What was that little tidbit in the end about Luc? Did that seriously happen? That kid is scary. Is it possible we'll ever get any info about him in the future?
Overall, I don't regret reading Oblivion, but on the contrary I enjoyed it. What made me realise though, is if I did a re-read of the original books right now, I probably wouldn't have rated them that high. So I'm just going to avoid that re-read. At least, for now.

Why would you pick a cover like this? *cringes*

2.5 stars
I wish Oblivion had never been written. Then I wouldn't have experience the realization that I, unconditionally and irrevocably, wanted to plant my foot up his ass.
Is this the guy we fell for in ? This skinny-shaming, gets-off-on-fear creeper?
This book was intended for fans who couldn't get enough of Daemon Black. By 5% I'd had enough of him for a lifetime. It's so fucking long. And pointless.
We don't get any special insight into Daemon's life we didn't get from Katy's POV. If anything, it made me realize what a flat character he is. He exists solely to be the Male Love Interest. There's no rising action or climax or any resemblance of a plot in his version of Obsidian. Onyx was a little better because he was discovering the dark side of the DOD and information about his brother alongside Katy. Then Opal plunks us right back in the land of linear plot and Katy's satiny skin.
Ooh, in case you forget, Daemon reminds us over and over Katy has skin that feels like satin. And grey eyes. With full lashes, which she enjoys peeking beneath.
She also smells of peaches.
The Daemon Armentrout presented in the original series had a life other than Katy. He cared deeply about his sister, regrets the loss of his brother, tried to make things work with Ash. When Adam died and Dee was devastated, he barely gave them a chapter's worth of fucks. When Dawson comes back, we get the barest bones of a summary on how he tried to ease him out of his shell. Worries about Ash and the Elders? Maybe with a magnifying glass.
Look, if you're going to rewrite a series from another character's POV, give me something fresh. Don't make me sit through pages and pages of copy-and-paste conversation.
Obsidian would have been infinitely improved if we got to see Daemon slowly trusting and falling for Katy.
Instead we get this:
Why are we still doing this, authors? Why are we still reinforcing the myth of no means yes? Why are we still creating romantic heroes who view rudeness as a challenge, when most guys would rather sit through a shitty movie than get up to find the remote?
Love is blind, Daemon. You were better off viewed from Katy's eyes.
"She appeared of average height. Actually, everything about her seemed average—her dark brown hair, pulled back from her face in a messy knot; her pale, roundish face; her average weight�definitely not one of those skinny girls I hated..."
I wish Oblivion had never been written. Then I wouldn't have experience the realization that I, unconditionally and irrevocably, wanted to plant my foot up his ass.
"She was attracted to me, even right now, when I'd backed her clear across the yard, and yet she was still attracted to me. And that kicked off something in me that I didn't want to look too closely at."

If you also love the Lux series, you probably know how much this latest installment all done in the awesome point of view of Daemon Black, means to me. The very fact that Jennifer Armentrout gave this for us is beyond amazing!
And let me tell you, fans of this series, heck, fans of Daemon, do NOT want to miss out on this. And for those who haven’t read it yet, WTH DO IT NOW! However, i think you could still enjoy this one too but it’s more advisable if you start with Obsidian.
Oblivion hasÌý1005 freaking pages and I soaked up every single one of it. It includesÌýthe first three books (Obsidian, Onyx, and Opal) in Daemon’s POV. Honestly, this is a dream come true because there were countlessÌýtimesÌýI wished I knew what was going through Daemon's head when I was reading those previous books and now I know.....and it only solidified my love for this series.
I think my favorite thing about this companion novel, besides Daemon Black obviously, is that it's not a typicalÌýretelling of the story becauseÌýsomehow daemon's perspective brought aÌýdifferent feel to it. Being in his head is so entertaining, his "voice" is charming and engrossing, and his emotions are intense. There's no denying the amusement, love, lust and longingÌýI felt while reading it.
I didn't get bored even though the majority of it are scenesÌýfrom Daemon's POV that we've already witnessed or his thoughts before or after a pivotal moment, with a couple of "new" scenes sprinkled in. I devoured it! Ms. Armentrout provided insights on her, and in a way, Daemon'sÌýthought process, why she chose to go in a certain direction of the story, and Daemon's complexities.
With this book, I realized that Daemon was really a jerk in Obsidian. However, I understand his struggle to fight his growing attraction to Katy for the sake of everyone's safety. He is a protector. That's the best way to describe him. He feels responsible for his family and his kind, the Luxen and being around a human is a risk he doesn't like to take. The push-and-pull becomes frustrating but only because I want them to be together so bad! Furthermore, I didn't realized how hard Katy was on him in Onyx. I feel so sorry for Daemon but I guess he sort of deserved it after acting like the biggest alien douche in Obsidian. It also showed more depth to Daemon's character. Yes, he's snarky and sarcastic but he's also so selflessly protective, sweet, thoughtful and so in love with Katy! That is what this book really set into, heÌýcares so much for Katy! I swear to god that boy thinks of Katy's well-being 24/7! haha!
I would burn down the whole universe for her if I had to. I would do anything to keep her safe. Kill. Heal. Die. Anything. Because she was my everything.
And for those who've read Opal, you know how it ends right? Yup imagine reading THAT SCENEÌýin Daemon's POV! It hurts like hell! I legit cried! Yes, I'm emotional I'm sorry I just luuuuv them so much and Daemon's genuine love and heartbreak broke my fragile heart too!
Please stay with me. I need you, and I can’t lose you. Not now. Not ever.
But now, I have to mention how much I love Katy! She's one of my favorite heroine! Besides the fact that she's a hybrid and has a very hot alien boyfriend, her character is so RELATABLE! She's a bookworm and book blogger, and I swear her reactions/thoughts about it is so AUTHENTICÌýI'm like "same girl, same" with a big grin on my face. She's also very sarcastic but sweet, funny, feisty, smart, strong and kind-hearted.
I just adore both of them. They'reÌýare my favorite YA couple, my OTP.
Their banters are so AMUSING and CUTE, their connection is PALPABLE, their love is so STRONG and their chemistry is SEXY. ÌýActually, this book borders on New Adult while still being mostly Young Adult. It’s not completely NA though, for me it’s just the perfect amount. So for young readers out there, don't be persuaded not to try it out because this is an awesome paranormal series!
Overall, I just really enjoyed it. I have so many quotes highlighted and I want to put them all in this review but I can't *sigh*. It's so good! I loved the story, the action, the characters... I loved everything!ÌýIn fact,Ìý reading this made me want to re-read the entire series or at least the nextÌýtwo books, Origin andÌýOpposition (which I did btw). You know for the hundredth time...

CUZ OUR BOY DAEMON IS COMING BACK BABY
CUZ OUR BOY DAEMON IS COMING BACK BABY
April 6, 2016
This happened....
What can I say about this? It is as good I as I had hoped it would be. It's totally Daemon Black. I loved it.
Here's the thing with retelling for me, there needs to be something more. Simply retelling a story from a different characters POV doesn't hold my interest. I know what's going to happen. I need more. This one was more.
Yes there are scenes that Katy wasn't part of that we see in this book. Thankfully, not every scene we had before is redone with Daemon's POV. Some are summarized. But most of all, there is this transformation that takes place in Daemon's head. And that is what I loved about his book.
Daemon has good reason to want to keep Katy away from Dee and the rest of the colony. Of course, he does that with his normal charm and style...hehe. But what is coming out of his mouth doesn't tell the whole story. He doesn't understand what it is about Katy that keeps him making mistakes. Why he can't leave her alone. Yeah, Dee is part of it but there is several times that he uses that excuse and keeps going back. He doesn't know why. And that's where this transformation takes place. From knowing he should stay away...to not being able to stay away but trying to...to realizing he doesn't want to stay away at all. And I loved it. And it's all done with typical Daemon Black charm.
Of course you will want to read this if you are a Lux fan. I can't wait for the eBook to come so I can read more! The print book only contains what would be Obsidian and I NEED more.
Some favorite scenes: The whole convincing her to go swimming with him...not what I was expecting. The trip to the used bookstore! When Dee told him Katy accepted a date with Simon! When he saw her in the red dress! And so many, many more.
Don't miss this one and don't put it off till later.

is a companion novel (#1.5) in 's young-adult paranormal series titled Lux. It's been a long while since I read the first book so I knew I would need to re-read it before continuing the series. But look what came just in time...
Think from Daemon's point of view. There were some new scenes but the majority of the content is the story you know but flipped perspectives. For me having read so long ago, this was perfect. My memory got caught up enough to continue the series and I am now able to scratch another title off of my TBR list.

Shelved as 'on-hold'
January 2, 2016I usually hate it when authors write their already published books in a different POV but IT'S DAEMON BLACK WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE SO OF COURSE I'M FREAKIN EXCITED :D
But December 2015? :( :(

JLA... I love you. And the series... This changes nothing. I just couldn't really love this book, it's not you, it's me. I hate different POV books, it just seems to me it was purely a retold book in Daemons perspective. Nothing new was brought to the story for me... And if anything, I began to doubt my love for the original books. Now, I couldn't have that! So, with my long awaited release of Oblivion, I close the book. In my eyes, the Lux series will forever live on in the eyes of Katy.

Pretty much made of awesome.
Stars!
I took my sweet time with Oblivion, and not because I didn’t enjoy reading it. But this is Daemon ‘f°ù±ð²¹°ì¾±²Ôâ€� Black. So why rush, especially when you have the below in your head for the entire time you are readingâ€�
At just over a thousand pages, Jennifer Armentrout hasn’t skimped on giving us the full Daemon Black experience either, and I have to say it was a refreshing to read the first three books of the series from his point of view. I found Katy’s inner musings to be a little annoying at times (must be the whole teenage girl thing!), I just found Daemon’s whole perspective and inner monologue highly entertaining and sometimes a little unexpected.
"I’ll take what I can get for as long as I can get it."
You don’t need me to write a long drawn out review for this one, if you have read and loved The Lux series, then you are going to love Oblivion, and fall even more in love with Daemon Black. Lots of love all round basically!

[5/5]
Cinco de cinco pero si pudiera darle más estrellas lo harÃa *_*
DAEMON BLACK IS BACK
Creo que es aceptable que ahora Jennifer nos de Origin y Opposition pero las partes que contaba Katy, ahora contadas por Daemon, ¿si o no? ok no, eso ya serÃa demasiado, aunque en realidad no me molestarÃa e_e ah
La historia no cambia mucho pues ya sabes lo que ocurre. Katy nos cuenta la historia desde su punto de vista en los tres primeros libros y aquà Jennifer nos regala un lado de Daemon que no conocÃamos, un lado que quizá nunca nos imaginamos que serÃa asÃ.
En opinión personal el Daemon que nos hace ver Katy es un Daemon más frió, alguien quien aparenta no tener un lado sensible y en Oblivion observamos a un Daemon muy distinto. Ahora en adelante no se puede decir que tuvo un cambio de actitud en Origin, siempre fue de la misma forma solo que no se dejaba ver, y eso es algo que me ha encantado un montón de esta saga (no solo de este libro). Es algo tÃpico que se ve ahora donde vemos al chico malo que se enamora y cambia totalmente su forma de ser cuando conoce a la protagonista y eso es algo que yo pensé la primera vez que leà como es Daemon en Obsidian pero claramente no lo es. No es el tÃpico personaje malo, ni indiferente, ni el absorbente, ni nada de eso que yo en lo personal estoy más que acostumbrada a ver en libros asà que por eso le agradezco a Jennifer que nos haya regalado este libro.
¡µþ¸é´¡³Õ°¿!
Me gustaron mucho las partes donde Daemon no estaba con Katy y pasaba tiempo en su casa, con Dee. Las escenas con Dee las encontré muy tiernas y de cierta manera me recordó a mà y mis hermanos, la forma en la que nos tratamos a veces.
En las primeras entregas no podemos ver la relación que tienen Dee y Daemon como hermanos y eso fue algo lindo de leer en este libro y eso también le dio más protagonismo a Dee que sinceramente me encantó aquÃ, me gustaba mucho su manera de tratar a Daemon e interactuar con él, sabe manejarlo muy bien y lo que es más genial aún, ¡se divierte tomándole el pelo!
En Origin cuando Daemon decide ir tras Katy, antes de que se vaya Dee le dice que ella sabÃa desde un principio que Katy serÃa perfecta para él y en la parte Obsidian/Oblivion esas palabras de Dee quedan perfectamente demostradas haciéndole ver a él sus sentimientos hacia Katy, incluso cuando él se convencÃa a sà mismo de que no sentÃa nada ¡qué lindo!
Hay algo que sentà que Jennifer quedó en deuda con nosotras: la nota en Onyx. Ya sé, ya sé, la verdad es que ella en su blog puso algo al respecto, de que su publicista pensó que serÃa mejor no poner la nota pero yo pensé ¡AL DIABLO EL PUBLICISTA! ¡Yo querÃa saber qué habÃa puesto Daemon en la nota! Era algo que esperaba ansiosamente pues Jennifer puso en una ocasión que se vendrÃa una sorpresa, pero claro, eso no fue y ahora nunca sabremos qué fue lo que escribió ¡ugh!
En Onyx/Katy pareciera que Daemon o no sabe manejar o no le dice nada a Ash, pero en Onyx/Daemon es faaaaaaaaaaaaaalso. Sà que la maneja, o más bien, le dice las cosas como tienen que ser. Y no solo en Onxy, en Obsidian igual (el espagueti) asà que nuevamente Daemon nos sorprende.
Ah, y una cosa que aquà me pasó a la inversa. Katy era la que me frustraba, no Daemon. Es que Katy siempre estaba entre que si, que no, Daemon me gustas, no me gustas, te odio, te detesto... claro, ya se sabe como es que pensaba ella, que era lo que pasaba por su cabeza y por supuesto, lo entendà en su momento de leer los libros pero aquÃ... ¡por dios! -carita enojada-
Daemon eres más que un ángel. Le soportaba todo a Katy y no es que ella se hiciera la pendeja pero especialmente en Onyx, cuando ella creÃa que él solo la perseguÃa por la conexión... osea mujer, solo mÃralo y por favor déjate de dar vueltas xD eso me desesperaba y Daemon nunca le decÃa nada, que era lo peor. Está como la canción de Taylor Swift: "Boys only want love if it's torture" ah XDD e_e hubo un momento en que querÃa entrar al libro y zamarrearla (?) asdfjj
Este libro fue todo lo que esperé. Sencillo y rápido de leer, como siempre ha sido Jennifer en esta saga y se podrÃa decir que en todo lo que escribe, ella es asÃ. Pero también quedé muy feliz como se iba desarrollando todo y de la forma en que Ãbamos descubriendo que el Daemon que creÃamos saber como era en un inicio, es completamente diferente pero de igual forma lo amamos y adoramos ¿cierto? <3
Cinco de cinco pero si pudiera darle más estrellas lo harÃa *_*

En Onyx/Katy pareciera que Daemon o no sabe manejar o no le dice nada a Ash, pero en Onyx/Daemon es faaaaaaaaaaaaaalso. Sà que la maneja, o más bien, le dice las cosas como tienen que ser. Y no solo en Onxy, en Obsidian igual (el espagueti) asà que nuevamente Daemon nos sorprende.
Ah, y una cosa que aquà me pasó a la inversa. Katy era la que me frustraba, no Daemon. Es que Katy siempre estaba entre que si, que no, Daemon me gustas, no me gustas, te odio, te detesto... claro, ya se sabe como es que pensaba ella, que era lo que pasaba por su cabeza y por supuesto, lo entendà en su momento de leer los libros pero aquÃ... ¡por dios! -carita enojada-
Daemon eres más que un ángel. Le soportaba todo a Katy y no es que ella se hiciera la pendeja pero especialmente en Onyx, cuando ella creÃa que él solo la perseguÃa por la conexión... osea mujer, solo mÃralo y por favor déjate de dar vueltas xD eso me desesperaba y Daemon nunca le decÃa nada, que era lo peor. Está como la canción de Taylor Swift: "Boys only want love if it's torture" ah XDD e_e hubo un momento en que querÃa entrar al libro y zamarrearla (?) asdfjj
Este libro fue todo lo que esperé. Sencillo y rápido de leer, como siempre ha sido Jennifer en esta saga y se podrÃa decir que en todo lo que escribe, ella es asÃ. Pero también quedé muy feliz como se iba desarrollando todo y de la forma en que Ãbamos descubriendo que el Daemon que creÃamos saber como era en un inicio, es completamente diferente pero de igual forma lo amamos y adoramos ¿cierto? <3

3.5 STARS for the e-book version
(Obsidian, Onyx and Opal in Daemon’s POV)
No panic. 3.5 stars is a good rating. It means that overall I did enjoy this book. However, writing-wise, Oblivion is no masterpiece. I could live without all those repetitive phrases that author used. If I read about Daemon talking about „how long Kat’s legs look for someone so short� ever again, I will probably break something. And if I read once more about Daemon looking at “certain assets of her�, I will burn something. Mention of “unicorns vomiting rainbows� also annoyed me. Another negative aspect of this novel is that Onyx and Opal retellings were kind of boring and I skimmed a lot.
But enough of negatives. All in all I enjoyed Oblivion. It reminded me why I fell in love with Lux series all those years ago in the first place. Now I finally feel motivated to finish this series and read final instalment () that has been sitting on my kindle for over a year!

5 freaking stars!!!<3
That girl was trouble wrapped up in a tiny package
complete with a freaking bow.And worse yet,
she was just the kind of trouble I liked!
I can't describe how I felt when I discover this book....no words... just feelings....
I never wanted someone as much as I wanted Kat
I had a HUGE ASS grinning the whole time I was reading Daemon's thoughts about Katy...
When I read the "Lux" series I wanted sooo badly to know what Daemon was thinking or feeling from the first time he saw Katy...and here we go...
I loved Daemon even when he was an ass but now I was in his head and I understood his worries and the feelings he was trying so hard to fight for his family and the other Luxens too.
That I'm lucky,because the person I can't get out of my head,the person
who means more to me than I can stand is still alive.
She's still there.And that's you!
Although the story is the same I think it's kind of refreshing because of Daemon's POV now we know what he was thinking and why he was behaving the way he did!Also there are some scenes we haven't read before...So now we have the whole story...
"Say it."
"Say what?"
"Tell me what you told me earlier."
"I love you."
"That's all I ever need to hear."
"Those three words?"
"Always those three words!"
Daemon&Katy's love story...from the first kiss...
The 'Lux" series was the first series I've ever read and is my favorite so far!So this book just completed the pieces that were missing now that we have Daemon's dirty thoughts about his little Kitten...
I love you,Katy.Always have.Always will."
Enjoy my loves more Daemon!xxx

Mira que pensaba que igual se me hacÃa pesado o aburrido, pero no ha sido asà en absoluto. Ofrece cosas bastante interesantes, asà que si os gustó la saga Lux seguro que os gustará. ¡Muy pronto en librerÃas españolas!

(Note: I am going to read the paperback copy, then, at some point, read the ebook version; it is Daemon, and experiencing Obsidian, Onyx, and Opal is a must.)
I finished the paperback version (with only Obsidian from Daemon's point view), and as soon as I can read the digital copy (with Onyx and Opal from his point of view included), then I won't hesitate to start it.
OBSIDIAN from Daemon's point of view
I don't know why I love Daemon so much -- he is a jerk a lot of the time -- but I guess it's because, deep down, he is a good guy. Seeing everything -- and more -- that we saw through Katy's perspective originally from his instead was ... well, interesting is an understatement. You see him in a different light. Although, I'm not going to lie: it enraged me when he was being the biggest asshole, especially to Katy. But I understand: he wants to protect his sister. By the end ... well, I wanted more, but I was satisfied enough ... until I can read the next two books from his point of view.
And look at this guy: he is the picture of perfection. *dreamy look*

This book is the first three books from the Lux series from Daemon's POV, well at least the e-book is. If you got the actual book it's just Obsidian instead. We get to see his thoughts and the reasoning behind all his actions. My favorite of the three novels is the retelling of Obsidian, I mean they are all great but there is just something about the first one that is my favorite. That is because well the action is mainly all from Katy's POV and it shows, to me this drags a little at some points well as in the original ones there was lots of actions.
But it's so great to get more of Daemon as he's my favorite book boyfriend to date. I adore him! I mean he's caring, romantic, understanding, protective, sexy, powerful, sweet, strong, funny, and thoughtful. Why would you ever need more?! You wouldn't, ever. He's perfect.
So lastly, if you love Daemon or the Lux series at all, then you will love this, I recommend getting and reading this if you haven't already. It's well worth it to get a Daemon Black fix!
