Holy shit, I love this book. This is proof that no matter what species you're from, there is no such thing as good species or bad species. Like humans, there are good and bad in every species. So yes, I loved this book, because finally, the Arum get some justice. Just because they don't shine bright, doesn't mean they're bad. I love the night and yes, I'm on the Arum side. :)) Now I hope to see more of their story and hope Hunter and Daemon won't be at each other's throats.
Well that was different.. Reading all of the Lux novels, you get a pretty clear picture of the Arum, who are supposedly the bad guys. Like anything else there are always two sides to every story. In obsession we meet Hunter, an Arum working for the DOD helping them contain the Luxen. When he is asked to watch over a human, and protect her from the Luxen who are after her, he is clearly not happy with the task. Hunter is all hard edges, and attitude. He doesn't care about humans, or anyone for that matter. Serena happened to be in the wrong place, at the wrong time and saw something that has put her life in danger. After her friend Mel was killed for the knowledge she possessed, Serena is on borrowed time. She knows that either the Luxen or the DOD are coming for her, she just isn't sure which, or when.
***Spoilers***
Hunter and Serena quickly fall for one another, something Hunter never expected to happen, ever. He hasn't ever experienced the very human emotions of love, fear, and worrying about a human hasn't ever happened. He found himself working for the DOD after his sister died. She didn't want any part of the ancient war between the Lux and the Arum, and was happy living her life alongside the humans. She was killed by a few Lux who only saw her as a threat, and not for what she really was. It seems as if most of the two races, especially the younger generations are all fighting this war as a continuation of something their parents started. Of course the Senator who is responsible for Mel's death, and who is coming after Serena has his own ideas of grandeur. Their "Operation Eagle" is a plan to bring in the hundreds of thousands of Lux living elsewhere in the galaxy, and to take over earth, including dominating the humans who reside there. When the Senator captures Serena, Hunter will stop at nothing to get her back. He kills all of them, including the Senator and he and Serena are now on the run from the Luxen, and the DOD. At the end they stopped at Hunter's brothers house in Georgia to hide out for a while before making plans on where to go from there.

And we get Hunter's story with Serena and this one is not YA, so yes I loved it! Hunter being an Arum is assigned to protect Serena, and sparks fly, the chemistry between these two is scorching hot. I love arrogant heroes and Hunter is one I liked and wanted to know more about. Definitely worth reading but please read the Lux series first.
Lemme say this first!
Holy crap. I thought it was a YA novel.
(dum-dum)Turns out Obsession is a NA novel.
I was shocked when that library scene happened. Hot and steamy. I immediately thought of Mr. Grey. (What kind of a sick thought was that?) HAHA
If only Daemon and Katy were like this... ASDFGHJKL :))))))
Okay. I get that Luxens are hot, but I never thought that an Arum *cue feels*
AHHHHHH. This Hunter dude...Hot, funny, dark, sexy and all things yummy.
"Luxen were like galactic Pringles in a fucked-up way." WTF haha
Well, Serena's a hot chick.
The plot was kinda' lacking to me. Don't get me wrong, I loved reading Jennifer's series.. but this first book of the Arum series seems like a get-to-know-the-main-characters-and- be-stuck-with-them-for-now. (Yeah, they're hot and everything)
There were supporting characters but they don't appear long enough to make quite a stir.
They're journey's pretty much..
Run.Hide.Stuck.Flirt.Fight.Fight.Sex.Run.Fight.Sex.Fight.Run.Hide.
I'm not saying these things in a bad way.. Please. Don't be mad at me.
I enjoyed it. A little. Maybe the fact that it's NA and Fantasy didn't do it for me.
I really hope the next book will have a fully-loaded plot and great supporting characters. (Totally rooting for Lore to join in the gang)

Personally, I loved it!
I think its absolutely brilliant to see things from an Arum's point of view, and how the Luxen have effected them.
I really hope we see a lot more of Hunter, because he is fantastic, definitely gives Daemon a run for his money.
Also, the fact that this has a more mature nature about it (sexually situation), I think it just enhances the whole story, and creates more depth for the character's.
Overall, another sexy, brilliant and thrilling book by Jennifer. I truly hope they keep coming.
Highly recommend.

I really liked that I got to know the arums better, but didn't care for anything else.
