Review: GOOD but not that original

It's so strange to go from hating the Arums (because I read the Lux series first), to seriously loving them. I like how Jennifer L. Arementrout gives a story from the Arums' point of view, and shows that not all Luxens are good and not all Arums are evil. I also loved reading about Hunter's back story and his family, as well as the history of his people and the ever going war between his kind and the Luxens. The chemistry between Hunter and Serena was magnetic, and I like how Serena didn't take any crap from Hunter and he learned to respect her for that. Despite her situation, I really admire Serena for not playing the damsel in distress role. Plus, I like how we get to see characters from the Lux series being intertwined in Obsession.The reason why this book couldn't get higher than a 3.5-4 stars is because I felt as if it lacked originality. I love Hunter and Serena, but I can barely tell them apart from Daemon and Katy. Hunter and Daemon are both good looking, arrogant; yet, strangely sweet and lovable guys while Serena and Katy are both stubborn, opinionated, and a bit reckless at times. I wish there was more character development that sets them a part from the other characters in her series. Some of the lines I felt I have read a bunch of times before, they were only slightly modified but I didn't feel as if I was reading anything new.
