Shadows (Lux 0.5) by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Summary:

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. 

My review:

After reading Onyx for the first time, I had to go and read Shadows all over again. This was my second reading. I re-read Obsidian and Onyx many times but Shadows was so heartbreaking I stood clear from it. Now, some things happen in Onyx so I wanted to go look into the past again and remember all the events that we finally understand in Onyx. I really liked Dawson. He is the perfect guyand even though Daemon will always be number 1 for me, Dawson made me swoon all the time. He and Bethany were the perfect couple, so made for each other. Everything that happens to them made me cry so much. I wish things were different for them. There were some really funny moments in this book, usually with Daemon and Dee. We see how Daemon was like before his brothers "death". I love him more after reading this. Jennifer writes perfectly, as always. I only wish the story wasnt so sad but then, without this story being told, Onyx wouldnt be as perfect.
