She worries that he only wants to be with her because of the connection that was created between them after he healed her following the fight with the Arum in Obsidian. I also couldn’t help being slightly annoyed with her for questioning Daemon’s feelings for her. Based on the Katy from Obsidian, I thought she was smarter than that. What really bothered me was how Katy trusted Blake, this person she just met, so implicitly. The sole upside of his presence in the book was Daemon constantly calling him the wrong name, much to my amusement. You know when someone keeps turning up unwanted and can’t take a hint? That’s Blake in a nutshell. From the moment Blake showed up at school screaming “new kid!” I just didn’t like him. There’s only enough room for one smug guy in this series, and sorry, Blake, but that role has already been more than adequately filled by Daemon. My biggest problem with Onyx can be summed up in one word, or rather, one name: Blake. I liked that Daemon and Katy were still hurling verbal barbs at each other in this one, because that was a huge part of Obsidian’s entertainment factor, but overall the sequel didn’t quite win me over like the first book did. Although I wouldn’t say I loved it, I was still excited to read Onyx. Review: With its cool, incandescent aliens and government cover-ups, Obsidian was a surprisingly fun read. Something doesn’t add up, and Katy and Daemon are determined to discover what the DoD is up to.

Daemon and the rest of the Luxen are already wary of the DoD when Katy spots one of the last people she ever thought she’d see with them.

This obviously doesn’t sit well with Daemon, who doesn’t trust this newcomer at all, but it’s either that or let the Department of Defense find out what Katy can do. She’s unable to control them until the mysterious new guy at school, who understands the situation, offers to help her. To Sum It Up: After being healed by Daemon, Katy starts exhibiting some strange powers of her own. * This review may contain spoilers for the previous book, Obsidian.
