One thing I love about Armentrout’s books is the first person point of view. I can’t give an exact book where their events start to align, but if I were to guess, it would be around the fourth book, Origin. Obsession takes place at the same time as the original series. That being said, I think it’s best that if you plan on reading both the Lux series and Obsession, start with the Lux series. They aren’t directly stated, but it’s not hard to put two and two together.

You won’t know they are spoilers until you start reading the original series. Also, if you plan to read the Lux series sometime, Obsession has minor spoilers. If you haven’t read the Lux series, then parts of the story will be very confusing. A lot of the terms and names aren’t really explained in the story and I think the author assumes you already know about the whole aliens-coming-to-earth thing and how the government is dealing with that. Sure, you can read Obsession without reading the Lux series, but I highly advise against it. This is a stand alone novel that is an adult spin-off of the Lux Series You do not need to read a Lux book to read Obsession and vice versa. In Goodreads, the first part of the blurb starts like this: I need to address something before I start this review. But are the aliens and the government the biggest threats to Serena’s life… or is it Hunter? Soon he’s doing the unthinkable-breaking the rules he’s lived by, going against the government to keep Serena safe. Hunter stirs Serena’s temper and her lust despite their differences. Who would? But then she witnesses her friend’s murder at the hands of what can only be an alien, thrusting her into a world that will kill to protect their secret. Serena Cross didn’t believe her best friend when she claimed to have seen the son of a powerful senator turn into something… unnatural. That is, until he’s saddled with something he’s never had to do before: protect a human from his mortal enemy. And the Department of Defense has him firmly in their grasp, which usually doesn’t chafe too badly because he gets to kill bad guys. Goodreads page This review is spoiler-free.
