Being connected to Daemon Black sucks…
Thanks to his alien mojo, Daemon’s determined to prove what he feels for me is more than a product of our bizarro connection. So I’ve sworn him off, even though he’s running more hot than cold these days. But we’ve got bigger problems.
Something worse than the Arum has come to town…
The Department of Defense are here. If they ever find out what Daemon can do and that we're linked, I’m a goner. So is he. And there's this new boy in school who’s got a secret of his own. He knows what’s happened to me and he can help, but to do so, I have to lie to Daemon and stay away from him. Like that's possible. Against all common sense, I'm falling for Daemon. Hard.
But then everything changes…
I’ve seen someone who shouldn’t be alive. And I have to tell Daemon, even though I know he’s never going to stop searching until he gets the truth. What happened to his brother? Who betrayed him? And what does the DOD want from them—from me?

No one is who they seem. And not everyone will survive the lies… (goodreads.com)

I honestly don’t have much to say about the second book in the Lux series by Jennifer L Armentrout. This book was very confusing coming from the first book that was really fun. Although I enjoyed Onyx I feel that it was a step down from Obsidian as far as my personal enjoyment. It was like one of those books that are just to build a bridge to the next and nothing really happens. At the end we were thrown into something that kind of came out of no where. It seems like the book jumped from point A to C and skipped right over B. I would recommend this book to those that loved the first and just can’t get enough of Daemon.  If you were a bit on edge with the characters and world of Obsidian this may be a book you’d like to borrow or wait on.  Either way, I’m hooked and will be reading the third book in the series to see how Armentrout will fill in the blanks created in Onyx.
