Obsession by Jennifer L. Armentrout
4.0
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.
