Opal Review

“You really shouldn’t trust a soul in this game. Not when everyone has something to gain or lose.”

 

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THIS BOOK AND PREVIOUS BOOKS IN THE SERIES. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

 

Opal is the third book in the Lux series. Katy is a mess of emotions. Filled with joy over Dawson's return. A wreck after the loss of Adam. She's struggling to cope but luckily has her mom, friends and the ever lust worthy Daemon. But nothing could prepare her for the return of a not so friendly face. 

So, I would have to say this is the most interesting and action packed book so far in the series. We get to explore a little bit more than the neighbourhood, school and the lake. Instead we hit up Luc’s nightclub, a surreal place where Katy feels something is very wrong. I think Luc and his nightclub really added to the atmosphere of this book, giving off an almost 80s/ 90s rocker grunge vibe.

But Katy oh Katy. She was giving me mixed emotions for sure throughout this book. It was frustrating how she expected things to go back to normal so quickly with Dee. Dee was mourning the sudden death of her boyfriend and she was pretty mature about the whole thing, I think. Also, in this chapter she injected herself between the brothers when it just wasn’t necessary. With this chapter I have one question. Why would you put everyone in the room where Adam died if you knew that it made everyone sad and uncomfortable?

Blake is such a good villain character though. He was so layered because at times he made me feel sympathetic towards him and he presented himself as a guy out of options. That being said my god he’s a pervert towards Katy and he deserved every punch he got in this book. I hope they find him in Origin and make him pay because the ending destroyed all of us.

It destroyed me particular because there was major character growth in Daemon. He really started treating Katy as an equal and was so insanely sweet and his last words to Katy as the door separating them came down left me VERY MUCH NOT OK.

Overall, this book was the best yet in the series and I cant wait to read Origin!

The cage is from Luc's night club. The bracelet in the eye is my interpretation of what Clarissa and Simon wore. Colour wise the purple represents Luc and red well.. it is Daemon's favourite.
