Not only has her best friend been blown up, right in front of her, but Serena is terrified that they’re coming after her.

Sure, a person can get excited during stressful situations, but Armentrout did not make me believe in Serena’s instant attraction. It was Serena’s reactions to Hunter that really ticked me off.

…that’s not totally fair… Armentrout did have Hunter note the arousal aura trickling from Serena. It was her inability to believably change Hunter’s attitude that made everything even worse. He was such a jerk to Serena, and I was impressed at how well Armentrout kept that persona going. Hunter’s character and initial reactions were unexpected. And it irritates me no end that the senator’s son will get special handling! I did enjoy Hunter’s assessment as to the DoD’s real reason for wanting to protect Serena. I enjoyed Armentrout’s Lux series, so I had had expectations of Obsession. Insta-love with lots of tell was enough to keep me grimacing through the whole thing. I hate to say it, but it didn’t take long before I was wondering if I’d have the stamina to read the whole story. It’s that Arum slant on the Luxen that makes me curious about future interactions between Daemon and Katy and Hunter and his crew. It is an interesting viewpoint with the story told from an Arum’s perspective and definitely gives us a different take on the Luxen. The narrators are both Hunter and Serena using first-person points-of-view with Hunter as the primary focus. It’s said to be a spin-off from Armentrout’s Lux series, but I see it as a full-length novel set at 4.5 between Origin, 4, and Opposition, 5 & last. Other books by this author which I have reviewed include Obsidian, Onyx, Opal, Origin, White Hot Kiss, Opposition, The Cage, 'Ice Cream', Stone Cold Touch Urban fantasy in eBook edition that was published by Covet on and has 249 pages. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. I received this book for free from the library in exchange for an honest review.
