There are series that are good, series that are great, and then there are series that change you.
This series has been one of the highlights of my year. I haven’t felt this excitement for written words in 10 years.
It’s amazing how someone can have such an imagination, couple that with well written sentences, and literary affect a persons life. Jennifer L Armentrout has that capability.
I’m so thankful that I waited to read this series until now. It’s kismet.
I have been in such a deep depression, but I’ve smiled and laughed more during the last two days then I have in the last year.
Thank you for putting your imagination into words Jenn.

I can't form the words to how amazing this book was.
It was beyond beautiful.
And It was everything I expected but also so much more.
A great second installment to the Lux series.
My brain is still reeling from it.
Wonderfully told and beautifully spun.
I experienced so many emotions and I am so happy I was along for the ride of this book.
Jen has outdone herself, beyond anything I could ever imagine.
The characters are back with a force.
The story took a turn I never expected.
And I was right there with the characters.
I was beyond consumed with this book, I lived it, I experienced it.
I need to read it again.
It's going to be a very long and nail-biting wait for Opal.
Rest of the review later to come.

Oh boy. This book was such a crazy mix of feels. I couldn't have expected any less from J. L. Armentrout and the second book of this amazing series, but this was just truly mind-blowing. I don't think I can wait to read the next one for too long.

Por fin he podido dar fin a este segundo libro de la saga Lux. Se me hizo una lectura aburrida; la trama no avanzaba nada. Solamente en los últimos capítulos parece que hay algo de acción.
Mi puntuación: 1 / 5

bello bello anche questo, anche se avevo paura che facesse finire la storia sul più bello con Kat in pericolo, per fortuna ha scelto un altro colpo di scena...
questa autrice ha il pregio e difetto di raccontare molto bene le storie, i personaggi dei suoi libri e soprattutto dosa con molta parsimonia i momenti romance che ti aspetti dalla storia, è un po' maligna e cattivella ma amo come scrive, ora aspettare mesi e mesi per il seguito un po' la odio ecco!

Onyx was amazing.. Kat and Daemon are two of my favorites. Their relationship is so much more realistic than a lot of the more common fantasy books. There isn't the soul mate instant connection, in fact the two are barely able to tolerate the other at times. At the end of Obsidian Kat and Daemon are able to defeat the Arum, but it was Kat who pulled it off. Somehow she was able to harness Daemon's and Dee's power to keep them all alive. From that point forward she and Daemon have had a connection. This is new to both of them, neither of them think it's wise to share their secret, but there aren't any others that have experienced their bond. Onyx takes several twists and turns, right up to the very end.
***Spoilers***
Kat has no idea where she stands with Daemon. Their relationship, if you can call it that, is so off and on. Kat has a hard time admitting what she feels for Daemon, and even though I think she knows deep down, the way he treated her for so many months isn't easily forgotten. Blake is the new guy at school, he is interested in Kat, for no other reason than because he likes her. It's refreshing for Kat to let go, relax and just be normal. Daemon is over the top jealous, and hilarious with how many different names he comes up with, anything but Blake. Of course he knows his real name, but Daemon makes an art out of irritating people. Blake later reveals that he and Kat are alike. That being healed by a Luxen mutated them into a type of hybrid human. He offers to show her how to control her powers that she suddenly begins developing, but Daemon never trusts him, and never gets over his dislike. Kat assumes it's because he is jealous they are spending so much time together, and doesn't take Daemon's warnings to heart. Turns out that Daemon was right. Blake is secretly working for the DOD. The DOD are more interested in the hybrids than they have ever been in the Luxen and Arum. Blake's alien friend that healed him is held hostage, while Blake rounds up the other hybrids to keep them from killing his friend. His latest project is Kat. She doesn't find this out until it's almost too late. Dee and Adam interrupt Blake while trying to take Kat, and both are seriously hurt. Adam doesn't live through the battle, and Kat holds the guilt of not involving Daemon sooner. Bethany's uncle had a life threatening cancer in their book, but appears in Onyx (without anyone knowing of the connections) as the guy dating Kat's mother. He kidnaps Kat, and uses her to draw Daemon out. He tells them that the DOD would have them both locked in cages, but he is willing to let them go if Daemon turns him into a hybrid. He also tells Daemon where the DOD is holding Dawson, and gives him a very small window of opportunity to break him out. Daemon agrees, and he and Kat rush to where they are holding Dawson. Once they get there, and find the place empty they go back home defeated, only to find Dawson has beat them there. That's where it ends.. No idea how Dawson's return affects the group, but I am looking forward to the next book to find out.
