I have tried to finish this like 3 times. I don't understand how I can enjoy her J Lynn books so much but her Jennifer L Armentrout books are always a serious slog for me. Why is the heroine so stupid?
I love how this book gave us the perspective from the Arum. I found it really interesting and it made me understand the world better. I know that this doesn't need to be read along with the Lux series, but I really do recommend that people read it because it shows how complex these being really are. Of course don't read this if you're a little 14 year old or something because this is not right for you. Maybe in another 5 years at least haha.
But I mean who would've guessed that I could care for an Arum? It made me feel like the Luxen were the bad guys. But I guess this just goes to show you that nothing is ever black and white. It's all about the gray zone.
I didn't really like Serena all that much. She was so stubborn and really stupid at points. Like really stupid. I get the whole "I don't want to be bossed around" thing and whatnot but it was a bit much. She seriously walked into danger every time.
My one other complaint is that there weren't any indications when it changed pov. I mean I got it when it did change because of the "she" to "he" or vice versa, and because their tones were a bit different, but it would've been nice to have a little indication thing. Not a big deal in the scope of things but it would've been nice.

Tener la oportunidad de leer un libro desde la perspectiva de los "villanos" de una saga es algo en verdad increíble.
El libro nos relata la historia de Serena una chica que presenció el asesinato de su mejor amiga a manos de un alien, a manos de un... Luxen, para tratar de protegerla el departamento de gobierno DOD la pone a cuidado de uno de sus, no sé, ¿aliados?, Hunter, un Aurum. Hunter es mal educado, grosero, dominante, despiadado, en fin, como se supone que un Aurum debe ser, sin embargo, cuando comienza a ver a Serena como algo mas que un trabajo, bueno, las cosas se complican un poco.
En verdad me gustó mucho el libro, la historia, sus personajes, y la personalidad de Hunter es muy entretenida, la relación que poco a poco va desarrollando con Serena es muy interesante y poder leer la batalla interna que se desarrolla en él fue muy entretenido, porque desde los inicios del universo de "Obsidian" nos han dado esa idea de que los Aurum no sienten, sólo son asesinos, pero tal vez, sólo tal vez, existan algunas excepciones.
Creo que toda persona que haya leído los libros de la saga Lux también debe leer este, tengo ese presentimiento de que las historias se van a unir y Hunter tendrá que volverse a encontrar con Daemon, además, aquí nos dan mas o menos la idea de que es lo que sucederá en los dos últimos libros de la saga Lux y wow, va a ser intenso.

As a big fan of the Lux series and an ever bigger fan of Daemon Black I was all WHOA Hold the phone Hunter is an Arum there is no way I am going to like this guy when in Obsidian(Lux 1) I nearly had a heart attack when any Arum were around. I have to admit it though HUNTER is awesome, his whity banter back and forth with Serena had me soften to him from the get go even though he was Arum.
“Are you done acting like a psychotic, cracked out Muppet baby?"
This book also deals with older characters so the book has a bit of a sex appeal to it which we all know when added with an alpha cocky male = very good things.
For instance "I want to hear you scream my name.”
Then of course we got a special visit from Luc in the book and as before is the same little smart ass punk. Don't worry I wont ruin it and tell you if any mention of our favourite Lux characters pop up.
The one thing I really liked also about this book was giving things from the Arum's side as in any war not everyone wants the absolute power.
So I leave this by saying READ THE BOOK ITS GREAT!

Vielleicht war ich einfach nicht in der Stimmung für eine Liebesgeschichte, aber ich hatte das Gefühl, dass es bei Dunkelglanz viel weniger darum ging, uns einen Einblick in die Welt und die Perspektive der Arum zu bieten, als darum den Fans der Obsidian-Reihe einen weiteren heißen Alien und irgendwie Fanservice zu geben. Es hätte ehrlich gesagt auch einfach nur eine Fanfiktion sein können.
Klar, Hunter ist toll, und einen Einblick in die Welt der Arum kriegen wir trotzdem. Aber es gab einen Part im Buch, der sich über mehrere Kapitel zog, der die Story irgendwie nicht weiter brachte. Es ging die ganze Zeit nur darum, wie heiß Hunter und Serena aufeinander waren und ich dachte nur noch "Jetzt macht doch endlich, damit wir mit wichtigeren Dingen fortfahren können". Aber danach hörte es trotzdem nicht auf. Gefühlt alle zehn Seiten mussten die beiden miteinander rummachen und ich war irgendwann nur noch genervt.
Es hat mir einfach ein bisschen der Plot gefehlt, der mehr in den Vordergrund hätte gerückt werden müssen.
Dunkelglanz ist eine nette Ergänzung für Obsidian-Fans für zwischendurch aber mehr konnte ich dem ganzen leider nicht abgewinnen, was wirklich traurig ist, denn eigentlich liebe ich Jennifer Armentrouts Bücher.
Aber wie gesagt: vielleicht war ich auch einfach nicht in der Stimmung für eine etwas erotischere Liebesgeschichte

3 and 1/2.
I thought I would love this one, I have always enjoyed J.L.Armentrout's work and I thought this wouldn't be any different.
I was wrong, I mean, I liked it, I found some bits and pieces very interesting but the whole thing didn't work for me.
The "I am too dangerous to be around you but can't help myself and so I endanger you whenever possible cause I like you but I want to eat you anyway"....you get what I mean, right?
I kind of got bored at times and that's never good.
Hunter owns 1 star by himself and then some more....he is super hot, Serenna....gosh! If I had the power of strungling fictional characters I would have finished her before any Luxen.

I finished this book with a wow. The writing was just amazing, hot and steamy and really kept me intrigued throughout the whole of the book. The characters are so captivating and the conflict is so well written within the story. I love the whole book and it added a different aspect to the world from their POV.
HOTDAMN!!
This was a smoking hot read!
Move over Deamon, I think I'm in love with Hunter now!!
I loved that this was different from the Lux series, that we got to see things from the perspective of an Arum instead of the Luxen and how we learnt that not all Arum were evil and not all Luxen were good. Both species had shades of grey and I found that very interesting.
I kind of squealed when they went to see Luc, was that Deamon that Hunter got into a confrontation with?? HE'S LOOKING FOR KATY!!! Anyway, I loved that Luc was in this, I little crossovers between books never hurts when you get to learn more about a minimal character (hopefully there is moer Luc in Origin, I love that little shithead!)
Hunter and Serena together...whoa.... that's all I'll say here.... whoa
