Jennifer L. Armentrout presents readers with book four in the Lux series. She doesn't pull any punches and hits hard with the most thrilling and exciting instalment yet! ORIGIN picks up exactly where the last book left off where Katy is in the hands of their greatest enemy, leaving Daemon pissed off and looking to do anything to save her.
In this book, readers are gifted with Daemon's POV, a first in the series. I found that reading his POV added another dimension to the storyline, creating depth and insight to his character while also making him the heartthrob of the century with his possessiveness and determination concerning Katy.
Similarly, Katy shows off her strength as a tough heroine as she faces off the Arum. I enjoyed seeing this side of her. It reminded me of the earlier books where she kept her guard up for Daemon. This time, she faces greater danger and must stand up to the Arum.
However, perhaps the best thing about ORIGIBN is Armentrout's writing. Her voice fits Paranormal Young Adult very well. It almost feels effortless as she describes emotions and actions, as if she is the character itself. As a result, readers feel as if they are the characters, becoming wholly submerged until they finally realize that they have devoured the whole book and want more.
If you enjoyed the series to date, then be prepared for another wild ride. ORIGIN will takes readers into a whole other world with its aliens and worldbuilding!
Book Summary
Daemon will do anything to get Katy back.
After the successful but disastrous raid on Mount Weather, he’s facing the impossible. Katy is gone. Taken. Everything becomes about finding her. Taking out anyone who stands in his way? Done. Burning down the whole world to save her? Gladly. Exposing his alien race to the world? With pleasure.
All Katy can do is survive.
Surrounded by enemies, the only way she can come out of this is to adapt. After all, there are sides of Daedalus that don’t seem entirely crazy, but the group’s goals are frightening and the truths they speak even more disturbing. Who are the real bad guys? Daedalus? Mankind? Or the Luxen?
Together, they can face anything. But the most dangerous foe has been there all along, and when the truths are exposed and the lies come crumbling down, which side will Daemon and Katy be standing on? And will they even be together?
