Opal is the third book in the Lux series. Katy and Daemon have finally worked through their personal issues, but they have more than their share of family problems to deal with in this installment.
Daemon's twin brother Dawson is back, but he is far from the same person he was prior to his disappearance. He is determined to free his girlfriend, Bethany, from their captors and must rely on the help of a very unreliable source. I assumed we had seen the last of Blake, but he returns with a very unlikely proposition. He has a source that can get them into the facility holding his friend and Bethany. He realizes he has no chance of making it out alive on his own, so he solicits the help of Daemon and his family and friends. It is a very risky mission and one they do not take lightly.
The majority of the book involves training and planning for the mission. Nobody trusts Blake, but they are forced to work with him on a daily basis, which keeps tensions high. Dee will never forgive him for killing her boyfriend Adam. As a result, there are a number of highly entertaining interactions between the two of them.
With a "family" as large as Daemon's it seems like privacy is an unknown concept. There were a few times Katy and Daemon were able to spend some quality time together in this book. I don't want to give anything away, but the prom night festivities were very sweet and well planned. I definitely give Daemon props for that.
The ending was a complete shocker and not at all what I was expecting. Considering there is another book in the series...I guess I shouldn't have been expecting a happily-ever-after at the end, but I NEVER saw that coming. Fortunately I do not have to wait to find out what happens next :)
Overall, this was a great addition to the series. There was plenty of tension, action, and romance to keep the pages flying.
