3 stars, meaning I liked it. It was good, but not great.In Obsession, we're introduced to Hunter and Serena. She's a human and he hunts those hot aliens we've come to know and love. Unfortunately, Serena's best friend stumbles onto the fact that there are aliens out there and is murdered in order to keep the secret contained. It only gets worse because Serena witnesses her friends murder and she's now a pawn in the DOD's game. In the midst of all this, she has to deal with Hunter. Can she trust him? And what move does she need to make next?Okay, let's all just acknowledge that Obsession was just another LUX novel with more steam. I see what you did there and I'm not knockin it because the book delivered on that front. I wish the plot had been a bit stronger though and the characters a bit more interesting. With that said, I enjoyed Obsession. It wasn't great, but it was good and held my interest.What I did enjoy about Obsession is that we get to see just how serious this alien business is. People die and it's not all high school games and clever come backs. Because the MC's are adult, we get a darker tone. I wish the author had played with that a little more. I also wanted a bit more action. The plot is pretty standard and the middle gets a big stagnant in parts.The other aspect of Obsession I enjoyed was that we get to see things from the Arum's side. It was nice to hear about their history from Hunter and why they do what they do. I would have enjoyed getting a bit more background on that, but what I got was enough to make me join Team Switzerland. The only bad guys are the DOD. So, the aliens need to just put aside their differences and handle those guys.All in all, if you're a fan of the Lux novels and the world the author has created, I recommend you read this while waiting on book 4
