Three words for this that sum up my mercifully short time with this novella: Bored to tears. It didn't give me anything I didn't already know from the main series except only for HOW Beth got hurt so Dawson had to heal her. That's it. That's the only new information. It's also a painfully boring "repeat" of the same first lovey dovey stuff Katy and Daimon go through in their story, which is twice as good as this will ever be. WASTE OF TIME. SNOREFEST. DUMB. Now I'm going to read what's MEANT to be a retelling of the first book, Oblivion. Then I'm going to read Opposition, then Obsession and be done. DONE. LET'S DO THIS

Después de leer [b:Obsidian|12578077|Obsidian (Lux, #1)|Jennifer L. Armentrout|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1328275091s/12578077.jpg|17588854], quede con esta curiosidad. Quería saber del hermano perdido de Dee y Daemon, de hecho creo que ya amaba a Dawson antes de leer este libro, pero leerlo simplemente me hizo amarlo mas.
Me pareció una bonita historia, es como muy cliché adolescente pero la parte de que el chico es extraterrestre le añade como que emoción a toda la trama. Y a pesar de ser corto, llegue a conocer bastante a Dawson y Bethany, me gusto la forma de pensar de él y la manera en que ambos se querían. Como él la quería lo suficiente como para pelear con los de su propia raza.
Por cierto me gustaría mas conocer sobre los personajes secundarios sobre todo Adam y Dee, porque ellos parecen interesantes.
Ahora dejando fluir mi imaginación pienso que ni Dawson ni Beth están muertos, llámenme loca pero DOD tiene que ver algo con la desaparición de esos dos.

Chin, me acabo de enterar de que primero tuve que haber leído los otros libros de la saga AAJAJ, pero arrepentida no estoy, bueno, tal vez un poquito porque todos ya tienen las respuestas de todas las preguntas que a mi ME ESTÁN MATANDO (:
Amamos a Bethany y a Dawson, son perfectos juntos. Y a los 17 doy por terminada mi vida amorosa porque nunca voy a tener a mi Dawson.

I was told to read this series by a lot of people, even though it isn't my normal type of genre, so when I saw this on netgalley I jumped at the chance to get it. Overall the story line is good. The characters are fine. I didn't hate the story, but I didn't absolutely love it either. It was just okay to me. It was entertaining though and I did like the ending, so there was that. I would still recommend it. 4 out of 5 stars.

This was a cute love story, but could it have been more rushed? Anyway, I’m happy now that I can continue on with this amazing series!

So I finished this one, after reading the first book, and the book in-between (the one from Daemon’s POV). I really wanted to know more about Dawson, and I can say that after reading this book I like him more than I did in the Deamon/Kat books.
Why? Well, he was painted quite negatively. That because he fell in love, he died. There was quite a bit of negativity, and though there was also love, it was mostly negativity that Dawson was so stupid to fall in love with a human, that it was his own fault. It didn’t give me a good image of Dawson, which was a shame. So while I did read this book, I was a bit hesitant about stuff. But as the pages flew by, I noticed that Dawson wasn’t so bad. He was also not all too happy that he fell in love, that he showed his secret to a human, but you can see him slowly change from being less happy + feeling guilty to a man who accepts that he is in love, that he wants to be with this girl, even if she is human, and not Luxen as he is.
Dawson was even great, he was sweet, kind, so unlike his brother Daemon who is quite a jerk (though yes, a hot jerk with a kind heart underneath all the mean barbs). I loved how he tried to help Bethany, how he was there for her when she needed him, I loved that he protected her all the times, he did everything for her, she was his world.
Bethany was also fantastic, thanks to the previous books I had quite a bleh view towards her, but as soon as she was introduced, as soon as we saw her POV I instantly loved her and her character. She was sweet, caring, strong. So different from Katy, who is more spice and flames, while Bethany is more flowers and candy.
Bethany was caring, sweet, and knew how to keep a secret, she was so kind towards Dawson, and it was amazing that she knew who he was and who his brother was. I often see this go wrong in literature, that twins (triplets) get confused, but not in this one. That made me cheer for Bethany and Dawson’s love more than ever.
The romance between these 2? Oh, man. Swoon, swoon everywhere swoon! It is just the most cute, hot (but still clean), sweet romance that I have seen in a long time. Jennifer L. Armentrout sure knows how to write kissing/make out scenes. Wow, wow and triple wow!
The ending? Well, we finally find out a bit more, but I still have so many questions. Are they really dead? Are they really gone gone? Or is there something more going on? I already had my suspicions in the other books, but reading this one? I only have more suspicions towards the DOD and Arum.
I also loved the multiple POVs.
All in all, this was an amazing book and I really enjoyed reading it. I just flew through it. :)
I would highly recommend this book to everyone. Looking for a great science-fiction book? With great and swoon-worthy characters? Great romance? Well be sure to check this one out!
