Summary of the story
Katy and her mom move to a new town in West Virginia called Ketterman. They move there 3 years after Katy's father passed away from cancer. Her mom is a nurse and is a workaholic, which leave Katy alone pretty much all the time. Her mom would like her to get to know the two teens across the street who seem to be about her age. She goes over to ask where she might find a grocery store and a place where she can find plants.Upon knocking on the door she come face to chest with a very hot teenage boy who is a complete ass to her! She meets his sister at the grocery store. Her name is Dee and is 100% opposite of her brother, Daemon. Dee and Katy become fast friends, much to Daemons displeasure. Katy and Daemons relationship starts to develop when Dee forces Daemon to hang out with her. Unexplained things happen when Katy and Daemon hang out like his ability to stay under water for a long time and a perfectly timed lightening storm that scares off a bear that was in their path. One night Katy and Daemon get into an argument (which happens all the time) and Katy runs away from him right into the middle of the road where there happens to be a truck about to hit her. Daemon stops the truck and saves her life. He explains that he is Luxen from the planet Lux. They are aliens that have special powers that are connected with light. They have arch enemies called Arum (they control the shadows) that hunt down Luxen and steal their powers. The Department of Defense (DOD) say that humans cannot know about the Luxens so Katy has to keep her knowledge about them a secret. The Arum are hunting down Katy because she has been marked with Luxen powers from when Daemon saved her life. Katy tries to keep Dee from being hurt by the Arum that are coming after her so she heads out to a field to draw the Arum away from Dee and she is attacked. The Arum pretty much kicked her, Daemons and Dees ass. Just when you think they are finished Katy connects with Dee and Daemon and somehow uses their power to take out the Arum. When Katy releases the power she starts to die, Daemon sends Dee away to get help. Daemon heals Katy and brings her back to life. They notice that they are now connected and Daemon tries to pursue the relationship with Katy. However, Katy does not want to be with him because she believes he only wants her because they are connected. He accepts the challenge to win her heart and she does not think he will be able too.
My Review
Phew... After that super long summary I am going to try to keep this short and sweet. I loved this book. Every thing about Daemon and Katy's relationship I think is just so cute. Daemon calls Katy Kitten and they fight all the time because he is a total ass to her all the time. He is this overprotective ass but I seriously just love how Katy refuses to be the damsel in distress. She holds her own and that is one thing I really like about her. The story is just full of suspense and adventure and I love that in a story. I love the romance part of the book too! It was not the typical type of romance where they just fall in love. He pushes her away then she pushes him away. It was a suspenseful romance to me. I really enjoyed. If you have read this let me know what you think. If you have not, pick it up and give it a chance.
