Synopsis
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.
Review
Bethany is the new girl in school who quickly catches the
attention from one of the most attractive guys she’s ever seen. Little does
Bethany know that she’s stepped into a world unlike any she could have
imagined. Dawson is drawn right away to Bethany and even shocked to learn that
she can tell the difference between him and his twin which most people can’t. The
pair is instantly attracted to each other which is a surprise for both of them.
For Dawson Bethany is trouble she can ruin everything that
they've worked so hard for. Dawson isn't human neither is his brother or
sister. They are all aliens from a galaxy far away that has been given
permission by the DOD to be here. The DOD doesn't want the Luxen dating humans
but it’s not been enforced so as Dawson and Bethany’s relationship progresses
things start happening that could put everyone at risk. Soon Bethany knows their
deep dark secret after Dawson is forced to save her life but they are in two
deep. When the Arum the enemy of the Luxen show up in town Dawson will be
forced to choose between love and his family.
Without thinking I read Obsidian first. I wish I had read
the prequel it would have given a better insight into why Daemon is so anti
human. A fast paced adventure will with romance and aliens. Shadows is a short
novella so it was easy to finish in less than an hour. Like Obsidian I found the concept unique I
love the idea of the Luxen it’s a unique idea for an alien race. The characters
are engaging you can’t help cheering them on as they overcome every hurdle. The
relationship between Bethany and Dawson is sweet the way they risk everything
for love. Well I don’t want to reveal too much but I can tell you it’s worth
reading. I have a feeling this won’t be the last of Dawson or Bethany but I
could be wrong. Reading Shadows just adds to my desire to read the next book in
the Lux series Onyx.
5 out of 5 star
