Me ha gustado muchísimo, eso sí, teniendo en cuenta la clase de libro que es. No es una obra de arte y es cierto que hay muchos libros de este estilo, pero precisamente me ha parecido que a pesar de tener una trama bastante típica, consigue crear una historia muy fresca y entretenida.

I liked the way the story went off easy and natural in terms of writing. Although, it's faar from natural, is it:)
Anyways, The Lux is an unusual kind of supernatural for me, but I enjoyed the read. I think, maybe, most of all I enjoyed the sweet intimate moments between the main duo.

Sexy čtení. Hůů.
Mini recenze:
Nemusela jsem se přemlouvat dlouho, abych začala číst právě tuhle knížku, jelikož si jí všichni vychvalovali, musím však říct, že jsem mírně zklamaná. Čekala jsem od příběhu daleko víc, možná trochu kvalitnější čtení, ale jako oddychovka posloužila knížka dobře!
Katy je šestnáctiletá holka, která žije obyčejný život. Má ráda knížky a svůj blog. Když se však po smrti jejího otce s matkou přestěhuje do malého městečka, nemůže být více překvapená. Brzy zjistí, že její sexy soused a jeho sestra nepochází tak docela ze Země, a když jí jeden z nich zachrání život, svým způsobem ji vtáhne do jejich světa a seznámí s hrozbami, které by ji mohli připravit o život. Ještě že je Daemon více jak ochotný ji trochu pohlídat...
Rozhodně jsem se bavila! Příběh se trochu táhl a byl více zaměřený na hádky mezi Katy a Daemonem, ale to mi vůbec nevadilo! Vztah mezi nimi byl především vtipný, občas na facku, ale svým způsobem stále okouzlující.
Celkové hodnocení:
Jelikož momentálně čtu druhý díl, nemůžu říct, že nejsem zvědavá, jak se to mezi těmi dvěma vyvine. Každopádně jsem se u prvního dílu nenudila. Hlavně v částech, kde hráli hlavní roli ti dva.

I hated this book. This is the first book to which i have ever said that. I also did not like that the Lux is origanely the name of a schampoo brands name. The way the charakters were discribed was terrible and many things were repeadet. A wast of money and time.!

This is a reread for me that I never logged way back when. I haven't read this series for many years and it's just as fun and exciting as the first time I read it.

This book was so fun! So many warm and fuzzy nostalgic memories. It brought me back to my teenage years of binge reading YA series and watching teen dramas on the WB and UPN. Can't wait for more!

My thoughts:
I guess i will be in a lot of trouble doing this review and explaining why i gave only 3,5 stars.So i start reading obsidian cause everybody in goodreads was talking about daemon and i wanted to know what was the all fuss about it.So don't kill me because i only gave 3,5 stars!I already read Onyx and it was so much better and i will be definitely struggling waiting for Opal.The thing is..the series is growing up on me so who knows if Opal gonna get my 5 stars rating.
Main Characters:
Meet Daemon:
“Beautiful face. Beautiful body. Horrible attitude. It was the holy trinity of hot boys.”
I don't have any problem with daemon.Sure in the begging he was a sexy douche but a douche.What can i say,i love a "good" bad boy!When you get to know daemon you just fall head over heels in love. The smirks and the sexy comments just did it for me.
Meet Katy:
First i really love that katy loved books more than anything and had a blog about books.i can relate to that.But then she just give me the bella vibe sometimes.
In common with bella:
-She is beautiful but thinks she is just ugly and plain.Bella,someone?
But if you pay attention most of the girls from YA books think that way.
-Insecurities. Insecurities everywhere.
-And third,how can you see a alien and not to be afraid? or how can someone tell he is vampire and not run?
Differences:
-When Daemon humiliate Katy,she fought back.The stains in his shirt can prove it.
-Katy don't admit her desire or love for him in the first book,she need time to get to know him and decide if he's worth a shot.
-Katy is a spicy girl and her thoughts about Daemon are priceless!
Sum up:My problems were about Katy being a bit like Bella that's why i don't gave 4 stars.But Katy really surprise me by being daemon independent and not give in to the Alien hot mess called Daemon Black.
Favorite Quotes:
“I've always found that the most beautiful people, truly beautiful inside and out, are the ones who are quietly unaware of their effect." His eyes searched mine intently, and for a moment we stood there toe to toe. "The ones who throw their beauty around, waste what they have? Their beauty is only passing. It's just a shell hiding nothing but shadows and emptiness.”
“The day my internet was hooked up was better than having a hot guy check out my butt and ask for my phone number.”
“If she was mine, I'd cherish every inch of her. And I wanted to. Now”
“Daemon: I checked out your blog.
Katy: Stalking me again, I see. Do I need to get a restraining order?
Daemon: In your dreams, Kitten. Oh wait, I'm already starring in those, aren't I?
Katy: Nightmares, Daemon. Nightmares.”
