Holy cannoli people! If you haven't read this book (or this series in general) you 
 need 
 to go out and get it because you are missing out on an amazingness that only exists in Jennifer Armentrout books. I was getting desperate waiting for this book, and when it finally came in the mail, all nice and signed (complete with Daemon bookmark), I felt like I was opening the Holy Grail! I was seriously expecting angels singing when I opened the book. And quite honestly, while reading this book, that exact thing happened. There are no words to even describe how amazing this book is. Amazing doesn't even begin to describe it. How about extraordinaryamazingholyfreakingcowahhhh! That's probably a better description. Not only does this pick up right where we left off in Opal with Katy being held captive by Daedalus, but we are also treated to Daemon's POV. That right there gives this book 5 stars because, come on, who among us doesn't want to read from Daemon's POV?! And to say that the dual POV delivered is an even bigger understatement. Many authors have trouble pulling off dual POV, especially when that POV is guy and girl. The guy can sound too girly, or both POV's sound the same, but that is definitely not the case here. Daemon, well he's Daemon, and he's going to do anything, and I mean anything, to get his Kitten back. There was just so much feeling in both of their perspectives that your heart will melt and be pounding. 
 This book is nonstop action. It's full of twists and turns that I never in a million years could have expected. I loved reading about Kat's time with Daedalus. It felt so real and raw, and your insides just twist thinking about the cruelty that she is enduring. When Daemon finally gets to her, his choice to stay captured with her was literally heartbreaking. It just shows how much Daemon truly loves Katy, and that he will go through anything to make sure she is safe. But you know what I loved most? The fact that even staring down certain death, they could keep their humor. Daemon still was his sarcastic self, and made Katy laugh even in the darkest of times. Granted, both of them, especially Katy, are definitely changed forever by what they witnessed and underwent when they were with Daedalus, but Katy and Daemon are still themselves. They're just a bit stronger and wiser. 
 There aren't many books where I literally read every single word, but this book was the exception. I didn't skim over anything because I didn't want to miss a second of the extraordinary words that were on the pages. I also had to keep covering up the next page just so I wouldn't look to see what was going to happen. The writing was absolutely flawless. And I don't use that term lightly. So many times, even with books published by major companies, there are at least a handful of mistakes (whether it's grammar or something else). I can honestly say that I couldn't find a single mistake in this book, and that means a lot. It shows that Jennifer cares about her writing, and wants to make it the best possible. I don't know many authors that can even compare to Jennifer in her writing style and her ability to craft this astounding world that you never want to leave. All I know is that I am so very sad that there is only one book left in this series. I think I might sob hysterically when this series is over because of how attached I am to it. 
 There are so many revelations in this book, but those revelations also open a whole slew of new questions and problems. Throughout the series, Jennifer has always hinted that there is more to the Luxen world than we know, as well as the fact that it's not all sunshine and unicorns. But, in this book, that cruel and scary world that Jennifer has hinted at, comes full force, no holds barred. It shows just how amazing Jennifer is at writing because she's put a whole new spin on this series that it bound to cause problems for our beloved characters in the next book. 
 And you know that awesome moment when you finally figure out what the title of the book means? Well, it's quite a shocker in this book! The added plus, you don't have to wait too long for that reveal. Let's just say it changes things greatly, and adds a whole new ball game to this book. I loved how little things from the previous books finally had answers. For example, we finally find out what's up with Luc. Luc has always been an enigma to me, and I knew something much bigger was going on, but I definitely didn't expect what JLA delivered. Blake makes an epic return, (view spoiler)[and I was soooo happy when he died. I'm not usually that happy, but personally, I couldn't stand him anymore, and Katy definitely shouldn't have felt any guilt. However, you just love her even more that she felt guilty after everything Blake put her and all of the other Luxen through (hide spoiler)]. And Matthew! Do not even get me started. I always knew something was up with him, and I'm happy with what happened to his character. I don't exactly know how I feel about (view spoiler)[Beth being pregnant (hide spoiler)], but I think it will definitely make for an interesting time in the next book (well, depending on how far in the future the next book takes place-whether it's a couple weeks or many months). 
 There is a lot, and by a lot I mean a crap ton of death in this book. We say goodbye to some much loved characters, betrayers, and some shockers, but it added that real element to the book. But in spite of all of the death, there is the introduction of some new characters. Archer is definitely an interesting character, and (view spoiler)[the possible relationship between him and Dee is definitely something I look forward to (hide spoiler)]! I hope we learn more about him (view spoiler)[and the origins (hide spoiler)] in the next book because he is a great new add to this series. I would even love to see a novella about his time at Daedalus. We would learn so much more about everything I think. However, I think my favorite new add to this series was DB! Once you read the book, you'll know exactly who I'm talking about, and trust me, everyone will want to run out and buy a little stuffed alien after this. 
 Now, I must ask a simple question...WHY?! Why, Ms. Armentrout, must you torment me so with cliffhanger endings?! Jennifer is the queen of cliffhanger endings, and Origin is no exception. I don't even know what the ending means for the future, and I now have to contemplate all of my theories for what will happen in Opposition. If anyone has any theories, I would love to hear them! The ending in general is so action packed that is unbelievable, but nothing could have prepared for the last page of the book. Seriously....nothing! 
 Just one other thing I wanted to add in before concluding my review is how much I loved the reference to Sweet Evil by Wendy Higgins. Being a humongous fan of that series as well, I absolutely loved the mention of that book in this novel. And I don't know why this just occurred to me, but if Daemon was a real person, he would make the 
 perfect 
 Kaiden. 
 This book made me laugh, cry, and swoon. I was absolutely giddy while reading a certain scene that took place in the Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas, and I just was teary-eyed at the scene just prior to that one. Everyone needs to read this series because it is one of the best series I have ever read in my life. This is going to be one of those series that I read over and over and over again because it is simply amazing. Thank you Jennifer for writing, and blessing all of us with your marvelous gift. You truly deserve an award or at least a giant hug! Happy reading everyone :)
