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.

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.

Four Stars.

I really really REALLY need that not to be the ending! It's the government, they've been lying about this stuff for years, right???

My heart hurts and I have to know what REALLY happened!

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.

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!

Perfect prequel

I read this after the first book in the series because some other reviewers recommended that, but I think it would have been better to read this first. (I've read the whole series now.)

This book talks mainly about the relationship between Dawson and Bethany. Dawson is the brother of the main character of the rest of the series. I didn't like getting engaged in the story of Daemon and Katie in the first book, then going back to a previous point in time to hear this story about his brother. I still enjoyed the book and it provided helpful context, but I would have rather read this one first to go chronologically. I think it would have made some of Daemon's actions in the first book make more sense to me too. It's also recommended by the author to read this one first.

Hope that helps someone when deciding the reading order!

Read this first, before book one
