Here is another recommendation for those who might need a book to lose oneself in on a long airplane ride, or looking for something quick to read over a weekend. Jennifer L. Armentrout's books are insanely popular. She writes both young adult paranormal/sci-fi novels and adult romance. Her Lux series consists of five full-length novels and a prequel novella. It is a young adult sci-fi story but romance plays a very prominent part in the books. So if you are a sci-fi fan, this might not be for you. I'd say the series is perfect for Twilight fans. The first book especially has the same sort of feel: a girl moves into a small remote town and meets a beautiful enigmatic boy who appears to have some extraordinary abilities. There are no vampires or werewolves in the book. Instead our heroine's love interest is an alien.... In terms of the overall sci-fi plot, the series gets better and much more original with each successive book. The romance in the story is of the fairy tale variety: intense, steamy and all-consuming. Katie and Deamon are completely in love with each other and ready to sacrifice everything to be together. Overall, I enjoyed the series. Armentrout is a talented writer and her books are currently in my "guilty pleasure" reading category. I will plan at some point to pick up her other series. They are quick and addictive reads.
