I'm a huge fan of the Lux series so when I was sent an ebook galley I was beyond excited! I even purchased the book in print. I'm that much of a fan!

Readers finally find out what happens to Katy in the jaw-hanging ending to OPAL. Let's just say the rumors of what Daemon's brother Dawson and Beth went through are nothing like the real truth. Horrific revelations abound inside the government agency that you can't help but know the so-called officials aren't telling the truth of why they want Katy and Daemon. These scenes had me on the edge of my seat. Intense, gripping, and yes, even graphic at times, I couldn't stop reading. It's here where the reader finds out what the 'Origins' are and why Daemon and the rest of the Lux were warned not to mix with humans. Also readers are introduced to a new character: Archer, who's not all that he seems.

Yes, it can lead to some really nasty and terrible consequences. **No, I won't tell you more!

Daemon is arrogant but also shows his soft side. I mean who wouldn't love someone who would do anything to go after the girl he loves? And he shows he'll do just about anything, including putting himself in danger, just to save Katy. Plus, he's totally hawt. Like H-A-W-T.

What Katy goes through in the government building would horrify anyone. Still she shows strength that at times would make anyone else run the other way. I think these scenes show Katy growing and also having her chose which side she'll stand on.

There's twists and turns throughout this novel plus some romantic moments between Daemon and Katy that are long in coming.

The climax and battle scene in Vegas are fast-paced and had me gasping. More is yet revealed including a cliffhanger ending that will force Daemon and his family to make a crucial decision: will they stand with humans or Lux.

The only bad thing about this novel? Why do we have to wait for book five? So unfair!!!

This is a total must read series!
