kathydavie's review against another edition
4.0
Fifth and last in the Lux science fiction romance series for young adults and revolving around Daemon Black and Katy Swartz, his family, and their friends.
Opposition picks up where Origin, 4, left off.
In 2014, Opposition was nominated for the Goodreads Choice Award for Young Adult Fantasy & Science Fiction.
My Take
Think Invasion of the Body Snatchers…eeeeek. Jesus, Armentrout had my heart in my throat as she kept throwing out all sorts of doom-and-gloom. I had no idea how she'd manage to pull off any kind of happily-ever-after, especially after "meeting" the Luxen. I mean, I knew there had to be an HEA, right? I certainly can better understand why Dr. Roth said they were the cause of the war between themselves and the Arum. What a nasty bunch of people!
It's an intriguing switch Armentrout introduces with Dee's reaction to the Luxen mind so different from Dawson's and Daemon's. A terrifying one that contributed to that heart-in-the-throat reaction. Another welcome switch was Luc's announcement that "most of the hybrids and older Origins" weren't thrilled with the Daedalus treatment. No kidding, and at least they could make up their own minds! For such a "smart" woman, Husher is really stupid.
The point-of-view switches between Katy and Daemon, and despite Armentrout heading each chapter with who is speaking, it's still somewhat confusing. The other negative, a slight one, is the number of clichés Armentrout employs. The positive is that she does twist 'em up.
The are some scenes with despised tropes that made my eyes roll around — not enough to get dizzy, fortunately. Three in particular are the ones in which Katy absolutely insists on heading out to the store and absolutely must join in the fight and save the child. Then there's the captive-versus-dissimulating-lover scene, another eye roll. Yes, there are more tropes, but I enjoyed those. So, sue me. I liked those because Katy was smart in them.
I did enjoy the confrontations between the general and Daemon. I'm not sure I trust that general.
Armentrout tortures us with that scene after Kat encounters the army of Luxen. I thought for sure this was the end for them. Then she sets up another end. Yep, I cried. Then, there's another ending…
While the overall story is intense, there is also a focus on Daemon and Katy making love — in fact, I feel as though the story was split in half. Half was the invasion and how the humans and our Luxen are dealing with it, and the other half is on how Daemon and Katy feel about each other. It is sweet, but it also got a bit tedious in how intensely passionate they got…again and again. No, it wasn't so much the, ahem, ins-and-outs, but of the emotions and the touching. So parents don't really need to worry about anything explicit.
The Story
The world is ending. The Luxen have invaded, beings of light dropping from the skies, assimilating, killing critical people within the human population. And Daemon, Dawson, and Dee have disappeared to be with their fellow Luxen.
The Characters
Katy Swartz, a book blogger and reviewer, is of high-school age, and yet she has been through so much: a government experiment, torture, death and resurrection. She's also married. To Daemon Black, a Luxen, whose race is the focus of the series.
Dawson and Dee are his siblings; they're triplets. Dawson has bonded with the human Beth as Daemon has to Katy.
Origin are…
…half-Luxen and half-human hybrid, the result of government experimentation and abuse. They are incredibly powerful and can read minds. Luc is Origin, and as young as he is, he's very powerful and is owed a LOT of favors! Nadia is a human he loves. Archer is also Origin and was undercover as one of Katy and Daemon's guards at the government compound. He's also in love with Dee. Micah was the little Origin boy who helped Daemon and Katy escape Daedalus (see Origin).
Malmstrom Air Force Base
General Jonathan Eaton is the "highest-ranking officer in the United States Air Force". Doctor Ramsey treats Beth.
The Arum are…
…a race created to control the Luxen, by eating their energy. Where the Luxen are born as triplets, Arum are quadruplets: one female and three males. Hunter is an ostracized Arum who owes Lucas a favor. Serena is a human woman who is in love with Hunter and he with her. Lore is the brother who stands with Hunter while Sin is the brother who has remained with the Arum. Lotho is their totally crazy leader.
The invaders are…
…arrogant and cold alien beings composed of light and capable of great feats and of great strength. Rolland Slone is the name of the mayor of Coeur d'Alene whom the Luxen leader assimilates. Sadi is a sadist, and Origin. She's been on earth awhile and was a Luxen spy. Quincy is one who is too taken by Katy.
Ethan Smith is the earth colony's Luxen Elder — and hiding the rest of his identity. Project Eagle is his baby.
Hybrids can't get sick and are fast and powerful; if they die, or the Luxen who saved them dies, both will die.
Daedalus is a Department of Defense government project that forced male Luxen to mate with mutated hybrid-humans to create more powerful Luxen-human hybrids. It was run by a single-minded, brutal, sadist: Nancy Husher. Dr. Roth was one of their medics.
PEP weapons are pulse energy projectiles, and the only known weapon humans have to kill Luxen, hybrids, or Origins. ARP is the Alien Registration Program.
The Cover and Title
The cover is turquoise with streaks of light shooting down from the sky. It's half of Daemon's face staring out at us, his dark hair mussed, a stubbled jaw, and that green eye watching. Katy is in the background, walking.
The title is the focus of the story, the Opposition that rages against the invasion.

"You're not their mother. You aren't anything but a monster to them."I'm surprised that the newscaster doesn't make the obvious connection between the amateur video of a Luxen assimilating a man and political leaders.

This is not going to be popular. ( sigh) Don't hate me for not liking it much. I going to go negative Nancy first:
I don't know what happened. I really liked books 1-2. I was in the "stay up all night to finish one more page mode." Who could sleep when "that" was happening? This one I couldn't stay awake. It seemed to go on and on and on with me never getting closer to the end. I forced myself to squeeze time bits in here and there. Something was going very wrong and I wasn't enjoying this read. I didn't den read the prequel added at the end of the book. I just don't care and I hate reading backwards in a story.
Kat and Daemon, coupled up solid, just seemed very immature and quick to snark out at each other and the big bads at the most unbelievable moments. I rolled my eyes so many times. I think I might have Hulked up my eye muscles. The over used lines, comments and visual aids.The "I love you" no "I love you" oh "I love you so much" " I love you more than anything" Blech !!! Enough I get it you're in a love-fest stage all glassy eyed and horny. How many times do I need to hear about them and their little foil package ? Was it required to bring that up every time they started to get naked so we understood they we going to go "all the way" safely ? Let's talk about the need to talk about how they are not ready for a baby, oh yes how mature of them. They are so grown up thinking like that, but WT-heck did have to do with the story that it kept coming back up? I didn't buy them as a married mature couple and a young naive couple. It felt like a sex education guide for the teenybopper who may want her own Daemon to always have his foil wrapper handy. (I'm not against it, please cover yourself always.) It didn't fit, flow and work for me in the context of the story. There were life and death issues all around and closing fast, they needed to work on saving the world ! Friends, family, innocents all dying while they screw around, joking or lusting. One of my pet peeves realized in this last book.
I loved the side characters, Luc, Hunter, Archer and Lotho the leader of the Arum. Lotho was bat-arse nutty and a fantastic character. He stole the show with his hilarious comments and nasty little game. Dee was an abandoned character. She had some major events and they where just brushed over lightly. A huge missed opportunity in that. I hope she has more parts in another series. Nancy, while I hated her comic book character like feel, stayed true to her characters outline and finally got what she earned.
I am so happy to be finished. I am so disappointed in this ending I waited so long for. I still like the author just not this piece.

5 billion wonderful stars!
My Review:
I can't really believe that this is the last book in the Lux Series. And of course I don't want it to be. But it really was the perfect ending to this wonderful series. Katy and Daemon got the ending they so deserve. I can’t think of a better conclusion for this wonderful series, either. Jennifer wrapped everything up so, so nicely and I feel that Katy and Daemon, along with the rest of the characters, got a wonderful and well deserved ending. I have absolutely no complaints or think the book couldn't have been better, because it was magnificent!
Katy and Daemon have grown so much since their first encounter, at Daemon’s front door. Both really have been tested in so many ways, but they faced those challenges head on. And I loved that they have never backed down. Katy found such a powerful inner strength and Daemon found a love like no other. Both have grown together and have had amazing inner growth as well. I adore them each so much! They really have become one of my absolute favorite characters and couple, not only because of their deep love, but because of their character growth and inner strength.
The love between Daemon and Katy is just so powerful and I really think that Jennifer made that come through remarkably well. I love that they always stood together no matter what, no matter the obstacles. I just find them perfect, so perfect for each other, and I know I will always love them.
I also have to mention Dee, Dawson, and Beth, along with the other characters – that includes Hunter and Serena! Yes, they made quite a few appearances in Opposition and I just loved that! I felt they too got the ending they deserved. I can’t mention a lot about what Dee went through in the book, but I can say I am very satisfied with her growth and how she was at the end of the book as well. Jennifer created an amazing cast of characters, each one unique and quite interesting.
The book progressed at such a good pace and the ending felt very well-rounded. Each character had such good dynamic, and their growth was really noticeable. The storyline was deep and very original. Jennifer did a brilliant job at making aliens sexy and so very interesting. She created an intricate world filled with such diversity.
Opposition was action-packed, brimming with intense moments that had me on the edge of my seat. It had gripping moments I couldn't believe were happening and moments that just broke my heart. There were also moments that filled me with bubbly happiness and glee. This was a wonderful, wonderful conclusion to a series that will forever be close to my heart.
I know I will always love this series, always love Katy and Daemon, and I know I will be re-reading their story multiple times. Over and over. And each time, I know, I will fall even more in love with them, their story, and their love. I highly encourage other to at least give this series a try!

I have absolutely no complaints or think the book couldn't have been better, because it was magnificent!
Katy and Daemon have grown so much since their first encounter, at Daemon’s front door. Both really have been tested in so many ways, but they faced those challenges head on. And I loved that they have never backed down. Katy found such a powerful inner strength and Daemon found a love like no other. Both have grown together and have had amazing inner growth as well. I adore them each so much! They really have become one of my absolute favorite characters and couple, not only because of their deep love, but because of their character growth and inner strength.
The love between Daemon and Katy is just so powerful and I really think that Jennifer made that come through remarkably well. I love that they always stood together no matter what, no matter the obstacles. I just find them perfect, so perfect for each other, and I know I will always love them.
I also have to mention Dee, Dawson, and Beth, along with the other characters – that includes Hunter and Serena! Yes, they made quite a few appearances in Opposition and I just loved that! I felt they too got the ending they deserved. I can’t mention a lot about what Dee went through in the book, but I can say I am very satisfied with her growth and how she was at the end of the book as well. Jennifer created an amazing cast of characters, each one unique and quite interesting.
The book progressed at such a good pace and the ending felt very well-rounded. Each character had such good dynamic, and their growth was really noticeable. The storyline was deep and very original. Jennifer did a brilliant job at making aliens sexy and so very interesting. She created an intricate world filled with such diversity.
Opposition was action-packed, brimming with intense moments that had me on the edge of my seat. It had gripping moments I couldn't believe were happening and moments that just broke my heart. There were also moments that filled me with bubbly happiness and glee. This was a wonderful, wonderful conclusion to a series that will forever be close to my heart.
I know I will always love this series, always love Katy and Daemon, and I know I will be re-reading their story multiple times. Over and over. And each time, I know, I will fall even more in love with them, their story, and their love. I highly encourage other to at least give this series a try!
