Holy bananas and mother of nasty cliffhangers,why WHY WHY DID THIS HAPPEN??I'm hurt and angry and shocked and confused and cursing shamelessly because I.will.end.you.Blake.you.sick.bastard.And I will enjoy it.
You didn't expect things to go smoothly for Daemon and Katy,did you?Yes my babies are finally together,arguing and driving each other crazy and kissing and making me puke rainbows,but the truth is they couldn't get a break.Breaking into top secret governmental facilities,visiting underground clubs ran by the teenage mafia,striking deals with the devil(s) and training with onyx?Sure thing.Going on a date like normal people in love?Not so much.When the lines between right and wrong were blurry and every decision they made would lead them to their downfall,Katy and her Luxen friends had to make peace with what they lost and fight to keep what they still had.
More mutants.More surprises.More action.More agony.More emotional turmoil.Jennifer L. Armentrout definitely knows how to make readers hold their breath and pray that shit is not going to happen (yeah wishful thinking,I know).I dreaded what every page was about to bring,there was constantly a knot in my stomach and bile rising in my throat,the anxiety was about to consume me.I cursed in a way I would make Deamon proud and wanted to toss my e-reader from the balcony (which of course I didn't for obvious reasons,but still) and I came up with some very creative ways to torture Blake,but nothing was enough.I never liked him,in fact I loathed him since Onyx but in this one,his constant presence and the way he stalked Katy made me wanna do some nasty things to him,and not the fun stuff.

Katy has come a long way since the first book,and I kind of admire her for that.Sure she can be insecure and paranoid and stubborn as a mule,but thank God I don't want to strangle her anymore.
I love Dee and Matthew,even Andrew has grown on me,and Dawson is my second favorite,only topped by Daemon,my oh-so-cute-but-sexy baby.He always made me blush and giggle,even when he was an overprotective caveman.

I don't think Jennifer L. Armentrout loves her readers though.If she did,I wouldn't ramble like a madwoman.She wouldn't put me through Hell and leave me starving for more.And since I needfood books to survive,it's time I stop babbling and go read Origin.You should too.

“I tilted my head back against his shoulder,wondering how he'd gone from douchebag extraordinaire to this...this guy who still infuriated me but also constantly surprised and amazed me.
To this guy I'd fallen madly in love with.�
