Som vanligt så har jag ännu en gång läst och älskat en bok av Armentrout! Jag tror att speciellt de som har läst alla de tre första böckerna i Lux-serien kommer att gilla Obsession! "blink-blink"

This gave me an odd feeling!! I have, of course, read the entire Lux series. I put this book off because it was labeled a stand-alone book, but now I wish I had read it closer to the time I finished the Lux series, I think I'm going to go reread the series again now!! One very important aspect about this book, if it were made into a movie, it would either be rated R or NC17! Now, back to the odd feeling, I say that because you cannot read the Lux series and not HATE the Arum!! After reading this book, I feel as though the Arum were dealt an injustice by the Luxen! Of course, I suppose this just truly shows how well Jennifer L. Armentrout writes!
I do think it would prove helpful to read the Lux series first (or at least part of it), as one would have a vested interest in the story, although it is a stand alone book, I think it would be less enjoyable without the others!

I don’t know do you guys listen to music while you read, but I kind of made the book leave a mark behind by reading the book while I listened to Ariana Grande constantly. I think Ariana’s romance definition definitely matches the book’s definition of romance.
My recommendation is that listen ’Into You’ and ’Dangerous woman’ in the sexual scenes, even though this songs definitely go with any scene of the book. You should also try ’bloodline’ while it's naughty or stuff. While Serena goes sad and weepy, try Ariana’s ’breathin’. I also have an all-time song for ’I-love-him-but-I-am-going-to-act-like-I-don’t-know’ moments: Billie Eilish’s Bitches Broken Heart. Lyrics somewhat fits. I actually have a lot of song suggestion but I am new to the community or even reading romance. I hope it kinda helps, although it feels like you guys won’t be interested in the vocal songs for reading.

I really wanted to like this novel more than I did. It begins very promising, and I was attached to it immediately. I wanted to see the world from a different perspective, where the Arum were who you were cheering on, rather than the Luxen. As it began, you hear about crazy things from Serena's friend, Mel, and she's completely freaked. As they go to leave the place they were at to go to Serena's place, Mel is attacked by a Luxen and killed. This is traumatic to Serena because only a few hours before she had no inkling of aliens of any kind existing.
The DOD (Department of Defense) is called and they ask Serena some questions. After this, thinking she might remember other things later on, they have Hunter, an Arum take her in to keep her safe from the Luxen. This is shocking for Hunter that they would even ask him, as he's nearly as dangerous to her as they are.
He goes and gets her anyway, and he fights off a Luxen to do so. Along with this, he feeds off of her, which renders her unconscious for several days. As time goes on, they begin to be romantically involved, and this is mostly where my issue came in. I know this is an adult book, but it just seemed too focused on sex sex sex rather than a story or a build up to their romance. It got to the point where I almost put the book down, because I was tired of the plot being disregarded for chapters just so you could read about them doing it over and over. Okay, some people might go for that, but I would have been happier without it. I feel as though Armentrout should have kept writing Young Adult rather than write this an Adult novel. I understand why it is because of the Arum personality, but it got too much and I started to even dislike the characters because there wasn't as much character building. All of it was just sex.
Even though at that point I almost put the book down, I struggled on through it, skimming several chapters until the plot returned and the romance dulled down to being present in a way that wasn't overbearing or like the two adults in the story were horny teenagers with nothing but sex on their minds even when there's a possibility of someone coming to kill you at any moment. Once the plot returned more though, it was rather interesting, and I enjoyed getting a sneak peak at some characters I've seen previously in the Lux series. Though they're not that significant, they caught my attention because I absolutely adored them!
The ending - minus the sex I skimmed and completely skipped paragraphs of - was very satisfying. I enjoyed seeing the lengths Hunter went to, and the strength that Serena had even as a human. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this book, though I say this regretfully because I really wish I would have been able to. It just didn't own up to what potential it had, and I felt like it lost its purpose about a third of the way through, only to pick up the scattered pieces at the end.

This book was so cleverly written. After reading this I really don’t know who the “bad guy” is between the Luxe and the Arum. This story was such a great addition to the other books in the series. I wish there were more from Hunter and Serena’s POV or from any Arum. I loved the one small crossover from the other books at Luc’s.
