Oblivion by Jennifer L Armentrout

Oblivion (Lux, #1.5)

by Jennifer L. Armentrout

The hotly-anticipated follow-up to New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout's megaselling Lux series, written from the point of view of Daemon Black.

I knew the moment Katy Swartz moved in next door, there was going to be trouble. Lots of it. 
And trouble's the last thing I need, since I'm not exactly from around here. My people arrived on Earth from Lux, a planet thirteen billion light years away. Plus, if there's one thing I know, it's that humans can't be trusted. We scare them. We can do things they only dream about, and honestly, we make them look weak as hell. 'Cuz they are.

But Kat is getting to me in ways no one else has, and I can't stop myself from wanting her - or wanting to use my powers to protect her. She makes me weak, and I'm the strongest of our kind, tasked with protecting us all. So this one simple girl...she can mean the end for us. Because the Luxen have an even bigger enemy - the Arum, and I need to stay on my game.

Falling for Katy - a human - won't just place her in danger. It could get us all killed, and that's one thing I'll never let happen...

Re-live the thrilling, pulse-pounding action and epic romance of Daemon and Katy's story all over again.

It's taken me all week to finish this, but those 4 days were absolute bliss. Being inside Daemon's head, to "hear" his version of the events in the first 3 books of the series were absolute perfection!

Daemon was an ass for most of those books. You wanted to smack the shit out of him from Katy's POV, but I forgave him a little bit when he spewed his venom, but we knew why he was doing it. Daemon loved his family and he would do anything to protect what was left of it, even demoralize and embarrass the girl he couldn't get out of his head.

For anyone that's read the Lux series, the ebook version of Oblivion is a must read. You need to know just what Daemon thought of the human girl who moved next door and how she turned his world upside down from practically the minute he laid eyes on her.
