BOOK REVIEW: ORIGIN (Lux, #4) by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Origin by Jennifer L. Armentrout
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

HSDBFHSBDAJSDNAS THE ENDING ACKKKKK! CLIFFHANGER *dives into a cliff* I CAN’T FREAKIN’ WAIT FOR THE RELEASE OF THE NEXT BOOK! Now, everyone you may want to tie me down first ‘cause I’ll be like freakin’ jumping up and down and be as impatient as I want for its release. HELP ME! Seriously though, the ending ... *freaks out*

RATING: FIVE STARS? NO. THIS FREAKIN’ BOOK DESERVES INFINITE STARS ‘CAUSE OMFG IT’S PERFECT! BADASS AND UBER HOT ALIENS AND HYBRIDS, ACTION PACKED SEQUENCE, DOSE OF HUMOR AND ROMANCE, MIND BOGGLING REVELATIONS AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN – THIS BOOK IS A TOTAL PACKAGE!

Origin is written to its perfection, from the writing style used by Jennifer Armentrout down to the smallest detail of this book. GAHHHHHD PERFECT! This book is truly a piece of art! *hands down*

Writing Style. So, I read Opal a few days ago and it's ending was --- and I already thought that maybe Origin will be in both Katy and Daemon's POV. (I haven't checked the blurb for Origin or any spoiler thing except it's book cover, so I don't really have an idea as to what's the gist of this book. CLUELESS.) And when I got started reading this one and progressed a couple of pages, my hunch was right. Katy and Daemon POVs for this book! *happy dance*

It was a great experience reading from both, Kat and Daemon's sides of the story. Especially, Daemon's POV (not that I don't enjoy Kat's POV because I FREAKIN' DO!) 'cause finally we get a glimpse of his thoughts and how his mind works. It was so COOL! I think it actually set the pacing of the story, which was also great. (Addicting, in a sense. I don't want to put this book down but chores everywhere phew phew.)

And I'm sure all of you notice the epic terms Kat and Daemon comes up with! It totally cracks me up even though the scene is already gory or a very intense one. Gahhh. Like "Baby Einsteins on crack" and "made a masterpiece out of F bombs". It makes reading this book a very fun one!

Story. I have this status update here on Goodreads which says, "Wtf is happening here in Origin?! Omfg mindblowing, Ms. Armentrout!". I forgot what I was exactly referring too, but there were loads of moments here on Origin that that status is applicable. One WTF moment to another WTF moment. I was really blown away by how the story progressed from Opal to Origin. That freakin' Origin concept was so AWESOME. I can't even ...

Characters. Okay. I'm just gonna *spazz* here. I'm placing this one on the spoilers!

I REPEAT SPOILERS!!! SO IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED WITH ANYTHING THAT HAPPENED IN THIS BOOK ... STOP READING THIS ONE NOW!![

3 ... 2 ... 1 ... Here's to my ramblings!

1. HOLY ALIEN BABIES EVERYWHERE! There’s a freakin’ crossover in this book and guess who those characters are - GAHHHHD! It’s HUNTER AND SERENA of Obsession, Jennifer Armentrout’s Arum Novel! *SCREAMING*

DAEMON BLACK MEETS HUNTER! OMFG *flips table* I squealed when Hunter’s name was mentioned in this book and then Serena’s name came on next – totally confirmed what’s reeling inside my head! CROSSOVER! CROSSOVER! CROSSOVER! She used the same scene Serena witnessed in Obsession and the only difference here in Origin is that it’s in Daemon’s POV. Serena also noted that Luc is “wearing a shirt that said something about zombies,” in which Daemon noticed too in Origin and even hinted us on the statement written on the shirt -“ZOMBIES NEED LOVE, TOO.”!

Daemon’s name wasn’t mentioned in that book though but Serena gave a description of him: “Unruly dark brown hair fell in careless waves across his forehead. He was almost as tall as Hunter, which would make him gargantuan but not as broad. His face… wow, there really were no words, and I felt like a creeper for even allowing my mind to go there for half a second. The stranger was attractive in a mind-blowing way.”

The bouncer also mentioned in Obsession, “They took his girl from him, and getting her back ain’t going to be easy. Probably impossible.” The freakin’ girl he was talking about was KATY!

If you’ve read Obsession already, I’m pretty sure you’ll be cursing around and fangirling really hard also! I just can’t believe that I’ve already read a certain scene of Origin way back in the summer. Amazeballs!

2. Gahhhh that moment when Blake showed up I just want to pummel his face with my own hands! Fvck this shit if I'm not that strong to do that but I really would want to hurt him in anyway I can. I want to let him pay for his bastard-ish decisions he made in the previous book! Grrrr! I freakin' hate him with every fiber of my being! Son. Of. A. Bith - Katy's own words .

BUT he did pay up already. Because not more than halfway of this book his character cease to exist already. That moment, I was totally in shock and was like "Did he really die? That way?". I was thinking that maybe Daemon or another Luxen would be the one to kill him but *jaw drops*

3. Daedalus. The Origin concept. The idea of Luc being an Origin. *mind blown* Everything was just so cool! Seriously, *hands down*.

4. KAT AND DAEMON ARE MARRIED SHFSBDSSKDNAJDSNDMSAKFNDSFN! *FEELS EVERYWHERE* DAEMON PROPOSED TO KAT WHILE HE WAS JUST IN A TOWEL BUT HE SAID RHBFDBSJ PERFECT WORDS TO HER. *SOBBING* I'M SO HAPPY FOR THEM. AND THEN THAT FAKE NAME DEE CHOSE FOR THEM OMFG ANNA WHITT AND KAIDAN ROWE (I haven't read Sweet Evil series, but I know them soooo), SDYGASHDIJFJRKFN! I ALSO NEED TO MENTION THIS - DB, HAHAHAHA KATY'S ALIEN STUFF TOY!

5. DEE AND ARCHER MOMENTS ON THE NEXT BOOK PLEASE! I WANT MY SHIP TO BE SAILING PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!

6. HERE YOU GO, MIND BLOWING FACTS THAT ALSO HAPPENED IN THIS BOOK: Matthew tried to turn Katy and Daemon over to the Daedalus. It was also revealed that Matthew was the one responsible for Dawson and Beth ending up with the Daedalus. Dawson was enraged by it and Matthew ends up dead. Paris, Andrew and Ash ends up being a deceased character in this novel. And oh Beth's pregnant!

I'm done here!
