About this listen

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.

Four Stars.

I actually liked reading about Dawson’s and Beth’s story. They are made to seem so fragile when you learn about them later in the books. It was nice reading about them having a normal life until things took a turn for the worse for them. I only wish that they would’ve used a different narrator for their story because it was so hard to remember that this wasn’t about Daemon and Katy. I also like it when they use a male voice for the POV of the male protagonist. As much as I think Justine does a great job in the series, I think Dawson and Beth should’ve had their own voice.

Perfect prequel

We get a lot of answers and we get Dawson, perfect combo! This novella is between Obsidian and Onyx definitely a story we needed to know Dawson and Bethany's story. Their side is different and has so many answers about the series. The perfect addition to it all. Simply enjoy the ride!

JLA never lets you down

The author is never a let down. I’m not sure she could write a terrible book if she tried. She’s hilarious, and as cheesy as some of this story is - she made me laugh, swoon, cry and feel all the emotions a good YA novel does to a girl. I really liked it and will be continuing with the series. Only complaint is how whiney the narrator makes Dawson sound. The other males sound great, but him - whiney as hell. Also, updates to the covers reeeeeally need to be created. Those covers are awful. They don’t do the descriptions of these characters any justice whatsoever.

Good Intro

This book was my intro into the Lux series. I enjoyed it, but now I'm immediately diving into Obsidian because I need answers. I'm already loving this world and can't wait to read more!
