Shadows

Lux Series, Book 0.5

By: Jennifer L. Armentrout

Narrated by: Justine Eyre

The last thing Dawson Black expected was Bethany Williams. As a Luxen, an alien life form on Earth, human girls are...well, fun. But since the Luxen have to keep their true identities a secret, falling for one would be insane. Dangerous. Tempting. Undeniable.

Bethany can't deny the immediate connection between her and Dawson. And even though boys aren't a complication she wants, she can't stay away from him. Still, whenever they lock eyes, she's drawn in. Captivated. Lured. Loved.

Dawson is keeping a secret that will change her existence...and put her life in jeopardy. But even he can't stop risking everything for one human girl. Or from a fate that is as unavoidable as love itself.

Four Stars.

I actually liked reading about Dawson’s and Beth’s story. They are made to seem so fragile when you learn about them later in the books. It was nice reading about them having a normal life until things took a turn for the worse for them. I only wish that they would’ve used a different narrator for their story because it was so hard to remember that this wasn’t about Daemon and Katy. I also like it when they use a male voice for the POV of the male protagonist. As much as I think Justine does a great job in the series, I think Dawson and Beth should’ve had their own voice.

😭😭😭

What just HAPPENED?! I am destroyed. I must end this so I can process.
That is all.

What the....

I really really REALLY need that not to be the ending! It's the government, they've been lying about this stuff for years, right???

My heart hurts and I have to know what REALLY happened!

Perfect prequel

We get a lot of answers and we get Dawson, perfect combo! This novella is between Obsidian and Onyx definitely a story we needed to know Dawson and Bethany's story. Their side is different and has so many answers about the series. The perfect addition to it all. Simply enjoy the ride!

That went terribly awry

This was about to be a good short read. Quick, easy love and then you realize it’s just setting up a different MC’s tragic backstory. Ugh.
