Daemon's determined to prove what he feels for Katy is more than a product of their bizarro connection. So she's sworn him off, even though he's running more hot than cold these days. But they've got bigger problems.The Department of Defense is here. If they ever find out what Daemon can do and that Katy and Daemon are linked, Katy's a goner. So is he.

Like that's possible. Against all common sense, Katy's falling for Daemon. Hard.

Katy's seen someone who shouldn't be alive. And she has to tell Daemon, even though he'll never stop searching until he gets the truth. What happened to his brother? Who betrayed him? And what does the DOD want from them - from her?

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

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The second in Armentrout's Lux series is enchanting, as she carefully amps up the romance and danger. [Fans] will stay glued as the story unfolds and eagerly await the next installment." ( RT Book Reviews)

Always wanting more Katy and Daemon!

After “reading” Obsidion on Chapters and then listening to it here I had to have more. I’m in love with Daemon, and I’ve grown accustomed to Justine Eyre’s raspy overtly sensual sound, trust me when I say she’s almost tolerable as a narrator so long as you speed up to at least 1.25* otherwise, no thanks.
As for Onyx, not as much action in some parts as Obsidion but everything worked perfectly well. Daemon is my new guilty pleasure.

Five Stars Worth of Entertainment!

Fast paced, witty, exciting, hAwt and steamy (yet very tastefull) romance and that is just to start. The characters have depth and their relationships develop in a manner that leaves you sitting on the edge to see what happens next. I have listened to all five of these books on audiable and I have bought the kindle versions so I can enjoy it again. I would love to see this series go on and on and I would also be first in line for the movie.

The narrorator made the characters come alive and enriched the story for me.

Awesome story

Really enjoyed this story! Helped me get through some boring busy work and stay awake.

A definite improvement over the first

The plot thickens!

The story, the writing, the dialogue... all a huge growth since part one. By the second half of this one, this is clearly a series that can hold its own. Intrigue, suspense, heartbreak and a few good chuckles. I can't wait for Book 3!

It just gets better and better ... I'm in love

What made the experience of listening to Onyx the most enjoyable?

The two main characters made the listening experience the most enjoyable. I love Kat and Daemon’s dynamics. I love the tension, I love the banter and I love everything about them.

What does Justine Eyre bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

This is my second time to listening to Justine Eyre and I have to say I like her more and more with each book I listen to. She isn’t overly girly, so her voice matches Kat completely. It’s a bit mature, yet she really knows how to express emotions, especially when Kat starts crying. I enjoy Justine voice very much.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes I can listen to this book in all in one sitting. There’s so much action, tension, drama and dialogue that keeps me going and going. It’s a fantastic series.

5 Just say it Stars

I read this series three years ago. I started to read YA before I started to read NA. I’m still a major fan of YA and there’s something about listening to YA books that I really love. I love that these books are pure romance and the steamy stuff is kind of on the back-burner. I also love paranormal reads, so this is a win-win for me.

If you haven’t started this series or if you already read them, you should do the audio version. I feel like I re-experience everything for the first time.

Onyx picks up where Obsidian leaves off. Daemon and Kat are growing closer in their relationship and another person is thrown in to the mix… Blake.

I wouldn’t call this a love-triangle book, but I love Blake’s character. I felt he added great tension and I loved seeing Daemon jealous. Blake is the new kid in town and he’s showing interest towards Kat. He’s willing to take whatever relationship he can get from her, friendship, or something more. Kat still has feelings for Daemon, but with Daemon’s hot and cold personality, she wants to focus on someone else.

Blake is a great distraction and even though she makes it clear to Blake that she only wants a friendship, it still ruffles Daemon… just a tad bit and I love it.

The thing I really love about this series is the pure romance of it and oh the innocence of Daemon and Kat’s relationship. I love how much Daemon cares for Kat. He does turn around a bit and tries to pursue her, but Kat only thinks Daemon likes her because of the connection.

Can I just say that I love the connection?! Anything that links two people together gets me all squishy inside. Shelly Crane did that in the Significance series and I thought it was fantastic. I love that Kat isn’t throwing herself at Daemon. I love that she is slightly guarded and she’s trying to prevent herself from getting hurt. I love strong Heroines in paranormal books. I think you kind of have to have them if they are willing to face off villains and bad guys.

This book was jam pack of fun and it kept me interested from start to finish. I loved it and I love this series.

Better than book 1

I loved this book! There was a lot more use of powers and the plot was amazing! I loved the mystery and action. And that twist at the end!! Wow! Can’t wait to see what happens next.

Loved it, again!!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend this to a friend as long as they were into the same type of books I am into.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I love Daemon! At first you hate him then you love him. I like those kind of guys.

What does Justine Eyre bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She does a great job with the expressing the emotion of Katy, but when she does Daemon's and the other men's voice it can be hard to tell a difference.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I loved it all!

Any additional comments?

Just listen and get hooked!

twilight saga part 2....not quite

Going into this I thought this was going to be twilight part 2. there were still a lot of similarities but I really liked this book....enough that #3 is downloading as I type. It's taken some interesting twists and really kept me engaged. I love the characters!

Great book

Great book! Love the narrator. Can’t wait to listen to the next one. It is already downloading.

Great book but terrible reader!

Any Jennifer Armentrout books are amazing but Justine Eyre should not be anywhere near them. She butchers anything she reads. She can’t pronounce names correctly in any of the books she reads and she does the whole phone sex operator voice for every female and this weird, dull voice for men. Seriously, does nobody edit these first? As for the book, it’s one of my favorite! Daemon is amazing! See that Justine? It’s DAY-Mun!
