I finished this book Saturday (6/1) in the ER while waiting for my husband to have his appendix taken out. He's still in the hospital recovering but I have a few minutes to type of a small review. 
 I really loved this book, but Hunter still doesn't compare to Daemon for me. I enjoyed getting to see another side of this Luxen/Arum world from JLA, and I see now how multifaceted this universe is. Prior to this book I was completely PRO-LUXEN, but now I see a different side and I'm pro-Daemon & his Luxen AND Hunter & his Arum. The world isn't as black & white as it seemed and everything really does have shades of gray. 
 Lord above I hope Luc keeps them from EVER coming to blows. I would HAVE to root for Daemon, but well, it just better not ever happen. Speaking of Luc, the plot thickens in reguards to the teen wonderkid. My theory: (view spoiler)[ I think he must be a Lux/Arum hybrid of some sort. How could he not be a regular human/Luxen hybrid, more powerful than all of them, get a power boost from opal like both, etc. We shall see. (hide spoiler)] 
 I liked Serena alright. Not as much as I like Katy, but aside from some stupid plot driven sense of justice that got her in a heap of trouble, I enjoyed her. (view spoiler)[Actually, both she & Hunter get points knocked off for not trying to find someone else to go clean out the box. Go find a street kid or a homeless man, give him $100 and pay them to go clean out the box and bring it to them. Problem solved. (hide spoiler)] 
 The sex was very hot, but at the end of the day it just made me crave this adult treatment for Daemon & Katy. 
 So I did like Hunter & Serena & I loved the book because it was in my favorite universe. I plan to reread to absorb more about the universe. I was thinking about it this morning and realized I didn't really "get" the bit about the origin, and that is hella important. So when I do my Lux series reread before Origin's release in August I'll be checking back in on this one as well.
