Onyx by Jennifer L. Armentrout

I find that I cannot move onto another non fiction book until I finish all the books in the Lux series, I need to know what happens. Things continue to progress nicely in regards to the overall plot, but the ever frustrating, chemically charged friendship-would-be-relationship between Katy and Daemon moves at a snails pace. I blame this mostly on Daemon. There are several occasions in the story where there is a misunderstanding, or Daemon sees something that he doesn’t like or agree with, and Katy is always ready to explain everything to him. But he doesn’t give her a chance, he either interrupts her, talking over her before she can even get a chance to explain, or he dismisses her, simply tells her he is done and then walks away. He is just plain mean. One of the new characters does contribute to the conflict between Katy and Daemon, and if he hadn’t been introduced into the story I think things would have moved past where they are at the end. There is also a twist towards the end, one that I think a lot of people will have seen coming, and a welcome surprise in the last chapter. My next fiction read will definitely be the third book in this series, Opal, if you want to read along.
