Onyx (Lux, #2)

That was quite a cliffhanger. I enjoyed this book so much. I seriously cannot put my tablet down! Finally, after endless bickering Daemon and Katy got together! I totally have a weakness for sappy, mushy, romantic whatever you wanna call it. I swear a huge grin is plastered all over my face whilst I was reading the part where Katy told Daemon those three words. "Always those three words." I seriously cannot get over it. This book deserves more than five stars.

I neeeeed the third book NOW but it hasn't arrived yet.

3.5*

“That's the funny thing about trying to escape. You never really can. Maybe temporarily, but not completely.”

Más como un 3.75

Vaya vaya, las cosas han cambiado muchísimo en este libro.

Debo admitir que durante el primer 40% del libro todo se me hizo muuuuy tedioso, todo era drama, Katy buscando cualquier excusa para desvalidar los sentimientos de Daemon y los suyos —aunque eso lo entiendo un poco, Daemon fue un capullo total con Katy por meses—, su deseo de salir con alguien normal y la aparición de Blake.

Blake, Blake, Blake... ay, es un personaje de lo más interesante, aunque debo decir que al inicio me estaba hartando porque la sinopsis me prometía la llegada de un chico nuevo con sus propios secretos y no vimos nada remotamente interesante de Blake hasta la mitad del libro.

Onyx retoma la historia justo donde se quedó en Obsidian, aunque debo admitir que Shadows y Oblivion me cimentaron mejor las bases para leer este libro y hacer la relación entre personajes y saber lo que iba a pasar a continuación.

Yo ya me había spoileado que Dawson y Bethany seguían con vida, pero debo admitir que hubo un punto del libro en el que las cosas fueron muy obvias y Katy debió recurrir a Daemon, pero no, yendo a veces incluso en contra de su propio instinto tomó malas decisiones y la situación se volvió más jodida, aunque, claro, no es la única persona que cometió errores.

Siento que a pesar de estos fallos en el libro, una vez que pasamos la mitad, la historia engancha bastante, se vuelve muy adictiva y hace que sigas leyendo y leyendo hasta saber cómo se soluciona todo Y ESE FINAL, madre mía, me ha dejado con ganas de más, necesito leer Opal lo más pronto posible.

“Say it.”
“Say what?” I asked.
“Tell me what you told me earlier.”
My heart leaped into my throat. I’d told him a lot of things, but I knew what he wanted to hear. “I love you.
His eyes darkened a second before he kissed me until was ready to say screw the whole doing-right-by-me thing.
“That’s all I ever need to hear.”
“Those three words?”
“Always those three words.”

Cada vez que leo estos libros confirmó más mi amor hacia Jennifer y a Daemon❤

OK so I have come out of my very emotional state to write this review. I swear by the time this series is over I am going to be left huddled in a corner somewhere trying to come to terms with all these emotions that I am feeling.

As you all probably know by now, I LOVE anything written by Jennifer. Anything she has written, I want to read, no matter what it's about. She is just an amazing author.
So onto Onyx. Well. There is so much to say about this book. Ok so first lets talk about the plot. There is no shortage of action here as we are taken on one crazy ride. There were so many twist and turns that you were lucky if were able to hold on for the whole ride. We are introduced to some new characters and you are left wondering if some of them are friend or foe. What we learn about the DOD and in turn about Katy's connection with Daemon will have you clutching the pages to find out how it's all gonna end. There were so any times where I was left stuck between wanting to throw the book across the room or to put it in the freezer. Near the end I didn't want to continue because I was scared to find out of how it would end. Either way I was left an emotional wreck with my heart breaking and my cheeks wet with tears of sadness. How could you do this to me Jennifer?? Why would you do something like that?? (People who have read the book will probably know what I'm referring to).

Now on to Katy. I love this girl, I really do. Mainly cause she's a blogger and has as big an obsession with books as I do. But I also love her spunk and fiestyness. But my god there were so many times during Onyx that I wanted to slap her! I just wanted to scream at her "No! Are you crazy?! Don't do that!" Throughout most of the book she keeps going back and forth between telling Daemon how she really feels and saying that he is only interested in her because of the connection. Em HELLO?!? A hot alien is bringing you roses in class and would do anything to protect you and you're debating whether to give in to your feelings? Are you insane?! If I was Katy I would have given in the second Daemon started to show any interest in me. As Daemon would say "Resistance is futile." Also, some of the situations she got herself into could have easily been avoided if she just used her head. For instance, don't get into a car with someone that you don't fully trust or that you think is trying to kill you. Pretty please. It would save us all a lot of of heartache.

And so that brings me on to our favourite alien, my future husband (What? A girl can dream can't she? :P). We get a lot more Daemon action in Onyx, and be warned ladies, your husbands/boyfriends might feel a bit neglected and get a bit jealous while you read this book because it is HOT! There is no shortage of steamy action involving a certain Mr. Black. He is back in all his muscled glory with a sarcastic mouth to rival even my own! :P He is funnier than ever, so do not read in public unless you want people looking at you like you have lost your mind. No seriously. But we also get to see the sweet and caring side to him which just made me fall even more in love with him. Katy really doesn't know how lucky she is. If you ever get tired of her Daemon, I am always here for you ;)

There will be plenty of tears to shed so have the tissues at the ready and be prepared to go on one crazy journey that will leave you begging for more. And after that ending, you will definitely want more. But I'm almost afraid to read Opal now because I know more tears are going to be shed and I don't think my heart can take anymore. So excuse me while I go rock in a corner somewhere, praying that Opal will not leave me a blubbering mess.

La verdad es que esta saga me está gustando muchísimo, no pensé que fuera tan buena. Este libro es más interesante que el primero, en parte porque ya conocemos un poco más acerca de los personajes, la naturaleza de los Luxen y cosas así.

He estado usando el formato de audiolibro y me he adaptado bastante bien. Siempre me mantengo interesada y eso es muy importante cuando estoy escuchando un audiolibro (pues si no me interesa mucho normalmente no aprovecho mi tiempo para escucharlo).

Me ha gustado el giro que tomó la trama y creo que tiene potencial para libros futuros y el romance entre Daemon y Katty se desarrolla más.

En cuanto el idioma (el audio que escucho está en inglés), no he tenido ningún problema para comprender todo y eso me parece un punto muy bueno si quieren empezar con los audiolibros en inglés. La historia vale mucho la pena.
