Este libro me ha sorprendido para MUY bien.

Al ser el tercer libro de una saga de cinco, pensé que sería más bien de transición y que no iba a pasar gran cosa, pero me equivocaba. Hay mucha acción y amor en él. De hecho, es el que más me ha gustado hasta ahora, y eso que Onyx me parecía muy difícil de superar con su final tan brutal.

La autora sigue ampliando y profundizando el universo Luxen y aporta hechos muy relevantes para la trama principal. Además, hay un nuevo personaje, Luc, que me ha enamorado en tan solo tres escenas. El final no es infartante como el de Onyx, pero sí que me ha dejado boquiabierta y preguntándome cómo se va a arreglar el desaguisado.

Una vez más, os recomiendo esta saga que solo hace mejorar con cada libro.

Ik was heel eerlijk zonder hoge verwachtingen aan dit boek begonnen. Deel twee was me niet zo goed bevallen en ik was eigenlijk vooral bang dat het mijn ding niet is. Maar mijn moeder is de serie aan het lezen en geeft de boeken daarna aan mij door EN ik had 300+ pagina boeken nodig om mijn persoonlijke reading challenge te halen, dus dit was een hele makkelijke keuze.

En ik moet zeggen: Dit boek beviel me weer beter dan het tweede boek. Katy komt een stuk minder vervelend over, alhoewel ze bij vlagen nog steeds gedachtenpatronen heeft die een beetje op mijn zenuwen werken. Het was nu in elk geval niet meer zo storend dat ik me er aan irriteerde, wat een grote vooruitgang is.

Maar, heel eerlijk? Behalve dat het boek ongelooflijk lekker en makkelijk wegleest en er heel veel vaart en actie in zit, doet het boek mij niet zo heel veel. Ik kan er mijn vinger niet precies opleggen waar dat door komt. Ik zou een klik met Katy moeten voelen, maar die voel ik eigenlijk helemaal niet. Ik heb ook al geen crush op Daemon of een van de andere jongens, omdat ze allemaal gewoon echt totaal mijn type niet zijn. Het verhaal is niet emotioneel opgeschreven, waardoor ik het allemaal wel lekker weglees, maar het niet bij me binnenkomt.

Het is een leuk tussendoortje, maar ik zou het eigenlijk niet eens echt een guilty pleasure willen noemen. Ik ga de overige delen ongetwijfeld nog wel een keer lezen, maar ze staan niet heel hoog op mijn lijstje, om eerlijk te zijn.

My emotions are at an all time high right now. I don't know whether to cry, punch the wall, or scream into my pillow. I tried, I seriously tried to drag this book out as long as I could because I knew everyone said it ended in this big cliffhanger, but I thought it really couldn't be that bad....

I was so wrong. How could you do this to us Jennifer!?!?!

I can't even fully review right now. My thoughts need to process.

Update:
Okay after trying to fathom what just happened, after I put the book down last night, my brain seriously wouldn't stop running. I re-lived the last pages of the most intense ending of my life. I read it over and over and over again.
Spoiler"I love you, Katy. Always have. Always will," he said, voice thick and hoarse with panic. "I will come back for you. I will-" The emergency doors sealed shut with a soft thud. "I love you," I said, but Daemon...Daemon was gone.


**Cries** seriously my heart is breaking. My hormones can't take something like this right now (I am currently pregnant) you might as well just shoot Bambi right in front of me cause that's how I'm feeling -- no worse.

The chemisty and love for both Daemon and Katy reached the ultimate high in this book. You thought it was great in Onyx?! No way -- the love has finally surfaced for real.

I felt myself smile with these two and their amazing bond, and yes I have fallen for Daemon just as much as everyone else has. Then I suddenly remembed the ending **cries again**

I don't know how my emotions or hormones are honestly going to get through the next 5 months. I'm dieing inside. Things must change, they have to. I don't even want to get into the full story because honestly?? I just can't. Maybe once I read the next book I can come back to this review with my heartbreak and emotions aside so I'm not distracted.

Oh one more thing -- and please excuse the horrible language I am about to let out.
SpoilerFUCK YOU BLAKE YOU HORRIBLE SON OF A BITCH! I WILL KILL YOU MYSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Okay I feel a little bit better getting that out now :)

Please for the love of alien's, read this book NOW if you haven't already. Steal it from someone for all I care because I honestly think it's that good.

SpoilerI still get tired of reading the same I-want-to-protect-you-and-can't-stand-seeing-you-get-hurt arguments between Kat and Daemon, because in the end we all know whatever it is both are not going to back out and eventually they'll accept the other's decision. I get that maybe the author are trying to show how much they care for each other or how they worked it out between themselves, but honestly, when repeated too many times it annoys me and I usually skipped it lol

About the part where the author describes how opal, onxy, etc work was kind of confusing for me.
And the real purpose of Deadalus is still unknown and I really hope it will be revealed soon.

I kind of expect the ending because in every series where the main characters are fighting against some kind of high power or organization, the main couple will always have that period when they are separated but the feels of the moment when they are separated still hit me good especially reading Daemon's reaction.

And I've never hated a character as much as I hate Blake! At first I liked him then I pity him, but then he just become a creepy stalker to downright evil. I mean seriously?! How could he betrayed them again!

Reread. Omg the first time I read this I remember being so shocked about Dawson being back. Daemon and Katy finally realize the want to be together and then all the training they do with the scum (Blake) so they can get Bethany back. Ahhhh! The ending about killed me! The first time Daemon tells Katy how much he loves her was horrible but great! Highly recommend this series!
