- Latest Review: "Ghost Girl" by Stephen Hazlett
Honestly, I did not expect to like the series as much as I did. Heck, I thought I was only reading Oblivion, but it turned out I've downloaded two ebooks in one. Once I started I couldn't stop. It's like reading Twilight over again, but reading a better version, replace vampires with aliens and annoying whining characters with less creepy and less boy-crazy characters.
I love how the author wrote it in the lead hero's character instead of the usual heroine point of view as it's a lot funnier. I also love Jennifer Armentrout's writing style. It's simple and direct to the point. She writes like a pencil sketch instead of a full colored painting. Letting the reader fill in the blanks with whatever color you want as long as you see the picture she wants you to see. Others might call it lazy, but I myself prefer the not so descriptive style of hers. I've read books that are pages of description and it gets too dragging. With her writing style, the readers will have a hard time not flicking the next page.
As far as storyline is concerned, I wouldn't say it was anything amazing or original, but it wasn't that bad. Mostly I keep on reading because of the attachment to the characters. It's a 3.5 out of 5. I'll definitely read the other books in the series.

Though I dont know which came first: The Divisa Series, or The Lux Series. Either way; Im cool with hot aliens and hot demons.
I loved the books overall. There were just a few things that bugged me. (Spoiler alert. Dont read this if you havent read the books)
For one, I felt like she ran out of ideas so she was just like "f*ck it. Ill throw an alien invasion in there too". Now I can understand the government guinea pig part and area 51. But then she threw that curveball and I was just like "theres no way this can end happy". But guess what? Yup. Only in ya fantasy books. Like everything up until that point seemed a little realistic. Like it is possible to escape the goverment. It is not possible to escape an alien imvasion on earth. But sonehow they do. They go through all that together and BAM! Damon gets shot with a gun that kills his kind. And at that point, the book was extremely predictable.
She did do an amazing job with the love story though. I love the books where the hot guy goes from hating her to having such raw passion for her. She didnt make it too corny which is extremely difficult to do. She also didnt focus too much on damon and katy which is just as important. No one wants to sit there and read "i love you; i cantlive without you"over and over again.
Both this and the divisa series are easy to get lost in. She does an amazing job with the setting and characters, i rewlly feel like Im there when I reread them. And I do, occasioanlly. All in all, you should defintely read these books. Especially is books are your escape from reality like they are mine
