Onyx by Jennifer L. Armentrout
4.0
I enjoyed this much more than [b:Obsidian|12578077|Obsidian (Lux, #1)|Jennifer L. Armentrout|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1328275091s/12578077.jpg|17588854], but I dont know how it ended up with the same rating. Like Katy, I had trouble forgiving Daemon for the way he treated her when they first met. He had to win me over too, and he definitely did. Daemon is like a different person in this book. If you were one of the people who didnt like Daemon and thought he was a jerk, because I know I wasnt the only one, I suggest you give him another chance. His jerkiness turned into cocky and funny and oh so sweet. I really like funny guys. They are not my favourite type of YA boy, but they are definitely better than the bad boys. I cant even see Daemon as a bad boy anymore. The only thing bad about him is his willingness to kill for people he loves. But that isnt because he has a bad attitude, it is because he is passionate and fierce.
I know a lot of people found Katy annoying, but mostly I liked her. There were two times I was pretty upset at her, but thats it. I love how she is a book nerd. There is no better way to make readers love a character than to make them exactly like us. And she is super spunky. And like Daemon, she would do pretty much anything for people she loves. What really bugged me though was.
Oh, and for those who just loved Katy and Daemon's chemistry, this was certainly not lacking. Just those couple of scenes in Obsidian had woman all over the world fainting and swooning. But in Onyx, it was x10! Ok, maybe realistically it was less, but I cant even remember how many times they made out in this book. It was pretty awesomely hilarious.
I love how the story has expanded so much from what we thought we knew. So much is going on now and the enemy is so much more dangerous than they thought, and not even who they thought. I can only guess where things will go from here and I cannot wait for [b:Opal|13362536|Opal (Lux, #3)|Jennifer L. Armentrout|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1348200300s/13362536.jpg|18591132]. Thankfully, its not too far away.

Spoiler
the time Blake took her out past the rocks and made her fight an Arum, and she didnt text Daemon. It was so obvious Blake was up to something and she even considered texting Daemon, but didnt. Stupid move. And again when Blake showed up in her bedroom. He even left her alone to get dressed giving her the perfect opportunity to get Daemon over there in case Blake tried something, which might have prevented Adam's death.Oh, and for those who just loved Katy and Daemon's chemistry, this was certainly not lacking.
