Origin by Jennifer L. Armentrout
3.0

This iteration in the series felt considerably more dark and dreary. Reading about Katy and Daemon's hostage situation was so infuriating and sad and the whole trajectory of the book... the series went from being lighthearted alien drama to something much bigger than I had anticipated. Aspects of the series are so similar to Twilight but the depiction of the DOD is much more villainous and frightening than the Volturi even were that I remember. Love the addition of Archer and Luc as characters. I never trusted Matthew in the first book either. Can't believe they just got rid of the other triplets and Matthew conpletely, but I'd be shocked to see the author kill the Blacks at this point. Good at keeping the stakes high despite that.
