Review: 'Opposition' by Jennifer L Armentrout

Hi my Freaky Geeks (Sounds kinda sexy, I'm sticking with it)!!

It's Rebecca here and I was debating what to do for my first blog review. Then it hit me. Opposition is out on August 5th. Which is today!!! I am soooo doing a review on that bad boy.

Opposition is the fifth full novel in the Lux series by Jennifer L Armentrout. I say 'Full novel' because this beauty of a series also has a spin off and a prequel novella (Not to mention all the juicy excerpt Jennifer so generously provides for us all. That's what I shall call her from now on, Generous Jennifer.) The cover of the newest and last book looks like this.

Isn't this gorgeous? Not just the guy but the whole thing... but the guy is also mmm. In paperback/hardback the cover glitters too.

So unless you don't know the series is all about a girl getting mixed up in an alien invasion because she fell in love with an alien herself. Ooohhhh.

Here's the blurb:
Katy knows the world changed the night the Luxen came.

She can't believe Daemon welcomed his race or stood by as his kind threatened to obliterate every last human and hybrid on Earth. But the lines between good and bad have blurred, and love has become an emotion that could destroy her—could destroy them all.

Daemon will do anything to save those he loves, even if it means betrayal.

They must team with an unlikely enemy if there is any chance of surviving the invasion. But when it quickly becomes impossible to tell friend from foe, and the world is crumbling around them, they may lose everything— even what they cherish most—to ensure the survival of their friends…and mankind.

War has come to Earth. And no matter the outcome, the future will never be the same for those left standing.

The last book didn't disappoint. It was completely action packed. Every chapter was full of risk and anticipation. 
Katy and Daemon were as loved up and stubborn as ever. Throughout your panicking on whether Jennifer will go through with crushing all of our hopes and dreams and killing one of them. I wont say whether she is in fact that cruel but I will say that I did cry in the end. Sorry to make you all freak out but that just means you have to go and read this book!!

Not one part of this book was dragged out. They were always on the go doing something, always travelling from one place to another to get things done. It was refreshing because usually you get the kind of book where half of it is in one place where they keep you on  tender hooks wondering whats going to happen between all the characters. And in an adventure and life or death experience it's kind of unrealistic to sit on your tod and wait around for something to happen. 

My favourite character in the book would be Daemon. But then again who would not pick Daemon, he is in a league of his own. He reminds me of Will from 'The Infernal Devices' by Cassandra Clare. The cocky, sarcastic attitude is so fun to read. The one liners that come out of his mouth is so unexpected that you want to read on to find out what else he'll say. 
Although I did love Archer in this one. Yeah, yeah...

It was a perfect ending to an amazing series. It has been a brilliant read not only the last book but the entire series. This will forever go down as one of my favourite series. Read this book!! If nothing but for the pretty new covers. Haha!

Rating: 5 Stars.
