“Onyx” is the second book in the “Lux” series written by Jennifer L. Armentrout. The series follows Kat as she moves, after her father’s death, from Florida to a small town in West Virginia. There she will make friends with Dee her new neighbor and start a hate-hate relationship with her brother Daemon. However, she will soon find out that they are not what they seem and hide a wide secret she will be part of.

Since Daemon healed her in the woods Kat has been feeling kind of strange, things start moving around and she is able to notice Daemon when he gets close. Then a new kid appears at school an outsider like her, Blake from California; a boy that will made her feel normal, that has things in common with her that does not have to do with Aliens and secret government agents; or that is what she thinks. Daemon however does not believe in coincidences and has his suspicions about Blake.

“Onyx” was a really good, compelling and interesting book. In this book we learn more about the other “enemies” of the Luxen, the government and the DOE and what are they really looking for when they watch them so closely. Apart from that we can see Kat develop and feel less intimidated by Daemon, which for sure surprises him too. Another thing I liked about Kat’s character is her perseverance and how besides she is a reader of romantic books in which the male usually saves the girl; she is decided to not be that kind of woman. She wants to fight her own battles and be able to take care of herself.

However, the thing I like the most about this series is how compelling it is. I do not know what it is about it but Jennifer L. Armentrout knows how to keep her readers pasted to the book and unable to put the book down.

To sum up, I really think that this series, besides what you might think by the covers, is worth giving a try. This second book did lived up to my expectations and I would keep going with the series, for sure.
