Synopsis

Being connected to Daemon Black sucks…

Thanks to his alien mojo, Daemon’s determined to prove what he feels for me is more than a product of our bizarro connection.  So I’ve sworn him off, even though he’s running more hot than cold these days.  But we’ve got bigger problems.

Something worse than the Arum has come to town…

The Department of Defense are here. If they ever find out what Daemon can do and that we're linked, I’m a goner.  So is he.  And there's this new boy in school who’s got a secret of his own.  He knows what’s happened to me and he can help, but to do so, I have to lie to Daemon and stay away from him. Like that's possible. Against all common sense, I'm falling for Daemon. Hard.

But then everything changes…

I’ve seen someone who shouldn’t be alive.  And I have to tell Daemon, even though I know he’s never going to stop searching until he gets the truth.  What happened to his brother?  Who betrayed him?  And what does the DOD want from them—from me?

No one is who they seem. And not everyone will survive the lies…

My Overall Impression of the Book:
 
So I thought I loved Obsidian, and then I read Onyx. This book had it all. Daemon’s arrogant attitude, Katy given it back to him ten-fold, romance, action, mystery.  I could not put the book down.  This is one of my favorite books and I cannot wait until Opal comes out in Dec (2012).  I actually started the series with Obsidian so I have to go back and read Shadows to find out about Bethany and Dawson.  Dawson is Daemon’s twin brother.  I loved the characters and I was actually really emotional about some of the things that happened in the book.  Some of the events that took place in this book were heartbreaking.  Lastly, I cannot get enough of Daemon’s awesomeness!!
 
Characters: 

Daemon – We get to see another side of Daemon in this book.  He was a complete jerk in Obsidian but in this book the chemistry between he and Katy really starts to sizzle.  He is truly awesome and wants to protect Katy at all cost.
Katy – She really ticked me off in this book.  She has been infected with Daemon’s “alien mojo” and she is starting to change and develop her own abilities.  She made a lot of selfish decisions in this book that caused a lot of pain and heartache.  Relationships will not be the same when this books ends and you cannot tell who the good and bad guys really are.

Plot and Writing:  Again the writing is good, and the plot is fantastic.  The book keeps you guessing and the flow was great, no dead spaces.  The situation with the DoD is starting to heat up so the Luxen have more than the Arum to worry about at this point.  Excellent Read!!
