Origin by Jennifer L. Armentrout
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Gah!! What the hell am I supposed to say after that ending!!!
Origin starts where Opal left off… Katy has been taken, and Daemon’s focus is on one thing only. Getting her back. He’ll do whatever it takes.
“Did you think you could stop me? I’ll burn the world down to save her.”
Katy’s only goal is to survive and get back to Daemon. But Daedalus is more than any of them could have guessed and they are ruthless in their goals.
The first half of this book is a rollercoaster of action and information. We get alternating points of view from Katy and Daemon and honestly Katy goes through some pretty horrific things. But she doesn’t give up. You guys know I love my kickass heroines, and Katy is definitely coming into her own in that category.
Daemon once again is perfection in the form of an arrogant, confident alien. He’s so protective of Katy, and knowing what happened with Dawson and Beth, you can only imagine the fear he has over what she is going through when he’s not with her.
Eventually Katy and Daemon are reunited and as usual, the swoons are there.
“I want a years-worth of seconds and minutes with you. I want a decade’s worth of hours, so many that I can’t add them up.”
But what I love best about these two is the banter and the affection they have for each other. But that’s not what Origin is about.
Katy and Daemon learn some of Daedalus’s nefarious plans. And they are witness to some of the experiments they have been doing as well as forced participants.
I have to say that Armentrout writes some wonderful characters and that is what draws me to her books. In Origin we get some new characters that I really am enjoying getting to know … Archer. And we get some more from the other characters that we’ve come to love. Dee, Dawson and Beth as well as several others.
Origin will have you on the edge of your seat… At this point, I don’t know who the good guys are and who the bad guys are. There are unexpected deaths and betrayals. There are twists and turns. And you won’t see a single one coming.
If you’ve been waiting to read these books for some reason… go now. The end of Origin has me impatient for the final book in this series Opposition. I’m excited and nervous for what Jen has in store for us readers.
