Review: 5 out of 5 starsThis book is Adult Contemporary Romance - Please be advised that it is not YA friendly, not even in a New Adult category.Obsession takes place in the same world as the Lux series; this is the adult version and was great to see the story from the Luxen `evil' counter-parts, the Arum.Selena Cross, a high-school guidance counsellor thought her best friend Mel was going crazy when she told her she had witnessed the senators sons turn into glowing light bulbs; it didn't sound like a believable story until she saw it with her own eyes and watched on as her friend was blown up right in front of her; the drama and danger which came to follow became her worst nightmare as she was hunted for any information she could possibly know about what her friend had seen and told her.Hunter, working for the Department of Defense is an Arum - a race bred to kill and has certainly changed my opinion of what I have always believed of them from reading the Lux series. He is certainly not a `nice' man; he is a snarky, arrogant, smexy alpha who is protective despite what he is. I loved the interactions between him and Selena, she didn't seem to have a filter and he found her feisty temper quite humorous so the banter between them had me giggling on numerous occasions.The plot was fast-paced and seeing Selena and Hunter trying to work through the Luxen, Human and Arum politics & the information about Project Eagle, Daedalus and the powerful Senator was interesting and action-packed - it was nice to get a different perspective and to see things from an Arums POV.The secondary characters were each interesting to read about, I liked the appearances of a few of the Lux series characters such as Luc and a certain green-eyed alien. I am also quite curious about Hunter's brothers, they are so different but so intriguing.I absolutely loved everything about this book! JLA never fails to disappoint with her wonderfully, detailed writing, true to life characters that you can't help but adore and a sweet yet complicated romance.My fingers are crossed there will be more books written in the world of the Arum - I need more.
