Opal:
No one is like Daemon Black.

When he set out to prove his feelings for me, he wasn’t fooling around. Doubting him isn’t something I’ll do again, and now that we’ve made it through the rough patches, well... There’s a lot of spontaneous combustion going on.

But even he can’t protect his family from the danger of trying to free those they love.
After everything, I’m no longer the same Katy. I’m different... And I’m not sure what that will mean in the end. When each step we take in discovering the truth puts us in the path of the secret organization responsible for torturing and testing hybrids, the more I realize there is no end to what I’m capable of. The death of someone close still lingers, help comes from the most unlikely source, and friends will become the deadliest of enemies, but we won’t turn back. Even if the outcome will shatter our worlds forever.

Together we’re stronger... and they know it.
Origin:
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?

Overall, I really like this series. It's not making my favorite list any time soon, but they are definitely fun reads!

I really enjoyed this last book, Origin, mainly because of all of the new exciting stuff! (and boy was it PACKED full too!) New setting, new characters, new enemies, new problems, I loved it. While I really enjoyed the first book, I found books two and three, while enjoyable, to be rather repetitive. That's why I really appreciated Origin! Honestly, the problems that took place in the beginning of the series seem SO tiny now compared to where the characters are now. I appreciate Jennifer L. Armentrout expanding out and including SO much more about the other Luxen and Daedalus!

Excited for my signed copy of Opposition to get here! I saw that it had shipped two days ago! Eek!

What do you all think of the series so far? Have you got your hands on Opposition yet?!
