Sunday Wrap Up #2




 
Sunday Wrap Up is all about sharing the books and book related items that I've picked up during the week. I link up my post to Sunday Post and Stacking the Shelves.


This week I didn't really get a lot. I've been doing very good with watching how many books I get since I've run out of space for my current books. However, I had heard such great things about the Lux books and finally cracked and bought them for my Nook. I figured, they aren't physical books, therefor they will take up no space in the house. That's logic right there! HaHa



 Bought...

 Shadows
(Lux, #0.5)
By: Jennifer Armentrout

The last thing Dawson Black expected was Bethany Williams. As a Luxen, an alien life form on Earth, human girls are…well, fun. But since the Luxen have to keep their true identities a secret, falling for one would be insane.

Dangerous. Tempting. Undeniable.

Bethany can’t deny the immediate connection between her and Dawson. And even though boys aren’t a complication she wants, she can’t stay away from him. Still, whenever they lock eyes, she’s drawn in.

Captivated. Lured. Loved.

Dawson is keeping a secret that will change her existence...and put her life in jeopardy. But even he can’t stop risking everything for one human girl. Or from a fate that is as unavoidable as love itself.




 Obsidian
(Lux, #1)
By: Jennifer Armentrout

Starting over sucks.

When we moved to West Virginia right before my senior year, I'd pretty much resigned myself to thick accents, dodgy internet access, and a whole lot of boring.... until I spotted my hot neighbor, with his looming height and eerie green eyes. Things were looking up.

And then he opened his mouth.

Daemon is infuriating. Arrogant. Stab-worthy. We do not get along. At all. But when a stranger attacks me and Daemon literally freezes time with a wave of his hand, well, something...unexpected happens.

The hot alien living next door marks me.

You heard me. Alien. Turns out Daemon and his sister have a galaxy of enemies wanting to steal their abilities, and Daemon's touch has me lit up like the Vegas Strip. The only way I'm getting out of this alive is by sticking close to Daemon until my alien mojo fades.

If I don't kill him first, that is.




Onyx
(Lux, #2)
By: Jennifer Armentrout

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…




I've already read Shadows and Obsidian within a couple of days and I'm pretty much finished with Onyx. One thing I love besides the alien twist... are the covers! I love that they all have the same models on them. 


So what did you get this week?

  5. Totally logical :)
    I'm getting the first of the series, because I feel like the only blogger not to have read and reviewed this series. Clearly, that's not the case, but each time I see these titles I feel I'm missing out somehow.
    Thanks for stopping by earlier.
    Also this photo from HarperTeens made me think of your blog: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151087612488661&set=a.82092753660.79519.6040643660&type=1&theater
    happy reading :)

  7. That's my thing too. I had so many books I ran out of room, so I ended up donating most of them and now just rely on my Kindle and the library.

    I have heard so many things about the Lux series, that I will probably end up reading them soon.

  22. The Lux series is so much fun! Have you seen the cover for Opal It's my favorite of the covers. I really like the covers, too. So much so, that although I bought them all for my kindle, I ended up also ordering from Amazon physical copies of Obsidian and Onyx. I want them on my shelf :)

    Glad you like the series so much.
