SYNOPSIS 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 have been waiting for this one! I absolutely devoured Obsidian and was smitten with Daemon (as a lot of people were). The way Jennifer Armentrout writes her romance is seething! It makes you feel lightheaded and keeps you up at night thinking about her wonderful characters. I think I went into Shadows with the wrong expectations, I went into it thinking I would come out knowing what happened to Dawson and Bethany. That did not happen, I feel like I came out of it with the same amount of knowledge that I went into it with. It actually felt like I read a shortened version of Obsidian with the other male triplet and a different human. Alien falls in love with human, alien accidentally reveals himself to said human, alien lights human up like a christmas tree, aliens fellow aliens are very unhappy about the reveal, things go awry and alien brings human back to life, alien and human have the same heartbeat.
Yes, I did get the warm and fuzzies that I had expected due to the way Jennifer makes the romance seem epic and undeniable. I also enjoyed watching Daemon stew over his brothers choices while knowing that the same situation is in his future. We gained a little more insight into the life that the Luxen live here on Earth and into the bond between the triplets. But when I put this book down I found myself trying to see how it stands on its own by Obsidian and I just cant say that it does.
I definitely still recommend this to anyone looking for an Alluring Read, but reader beware, you're going on a ride that's going to feel quite familiar.
