A couple of days ago I was aimlessly roaming the internet when I suddenly realized how I hadn't read any books in a while. As soon as this realization struck me, I decided it had to change.
So I went on to search for some good books. I came across a couple of nice series and one really caught my eye. The Lux series. I had heared of these books before, hearing nothing but good reviews. I decided to give it a go.
I looked up a reading order and according to the Author herself, Shadows is the first book you should read.
Price wise it's really a good option, not very expensive at all in Ebook version. I have to say I'm a big fan of owning a book, knowing it's carefully placed on my bookshelf and nothing can happen to it.. But I make an exception from time to time.. For one of three reasons.
1) I just really can't wait for it to either be delivered or buy it myself.
2) I can't find any service that will deliver the book I want in the right size, language etc
3) I bought previous books of that particular serie as an ebook and don't want to have a collection split (I admit I might have an OCD when it comes to books).
This time, I just really couldn't wait. I bought the book, downloaded it and started reading.
I was sold straight away. The book switches POV between the two main characters and I always like this. Something about knowing what the guy is thinking makes me feel like I know more than the female protagonist.
At times I found the female character, Beth, a little bit annoying. I was like AARGH WHY CAN'T YOU SEE IT!!!
But throughout the book my love for both protagonists grows. The book is filled with intense plot twists combined to the usual forbidden love story made interesting again.
It was a quick read, about 180 pages as an ebook. I think I went through it in two to three hours (which was a huge suprise)!
The Lux series has certainly deserved a place on my 'Love this Series Fangirl'-bookshelf. Seeing this book is short and I don't want to give any unwanted spoilers, I'm going to leave it at this.
I would give this book an 8/10. It made me hold my breath throughout and I couldn't let it go until i had reached that final page.
AFTER HAVING READ OTHER BOOKS IN THE LUX SERIES I HAVE TO SAY DO NOT READ THIS BOOK FIRST, SAVE IT FOR LATER BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE A LITTLE BIT TOO MUCH HAS BEEN SPOILED HERE TO FULLY ENJOY THE FIRST BOOK IN THE LUX SERIES!
