This is a side story from the Lux series about Dawson and Beth and how they met and fell in love. 
I read it on Saturday but was unable to post another review so here it is. 
I would rate this a 8/10 stars
If you have not read this yet and you have read the other Lux books, go read this book now. Though, as far as I can tell it only comes in E-book form. 
Spoilers below
This book was so heartbreakingly heart  warming, funny, and cute. It's great yet sad to see how Dawson and Beth were before. So much more lively. I was sad throughout the entire book, because a part of me knew that they would be captured and put through hell for 2 years. Though the majority of my brain succeeded in pushing out the thought until the very end. 
I love the whole spork ordeal. And how in love both Dawson and Beth are. It was nearly love at first sight for them. 
It broke my hear in the end to read this 
'Sorrow and rage rippled through him as his light burned reddish-white. Dee's tears poured through the bond, her whispered denials kept coming, and God, he would've given his own life at that moment to take away her pain and loss. 
And to change the come of the last things he'd said to his brother. You're going to get that girl killed. Why hadn't he said he loved him? No. Instead he'd said that. Misery cleaved his soul sinking in deep like a hot, serrated knife.'

There were quite a few funny parts though. And seeing Adam, Ash, and Andrew..... That depressed me. Though they showed Ash and Andrew as total arses, I knew that they were only doing that to protect Dawson, their brother. I loved these parts
'"I was outside, and it looked as if a light show was going on in your bedroom. Daemon said you were probably mas-" 
And Dee also knew no boundaries.
"Ah, no, please don't finish that sentence." He lowered his hands, eyes narrowing at his sister. "Don't ever finish that sentence."'

'"Did you just clean a dish?" Dee backed away slowly, blinking. She glanced at Daemon. "The world is going to end. And I'm still a vir-" 
"No!" Both brothers yelled in unison.
Daemon looked like he was actually going to vomit. "Jesus, don't ever finish that statement. Actually don't ever change that. Thank you." 
Her mouth dropped open.  "You expect me to never have-"'

'She. Spoke. To. Him. First. It was like winning the lottery, getting laid, and climbing the highest cliff all rolled into one.'

'He wanted to go over to that asshat's (HAHA ANY TMI FANS THERE??) house and drive his car through it. The fact that he liked his Jetta was the only thing that stopped him from giving them a new doorway.'

'Was that how he stared at Beth? Like she was a stake?
"You never look at me like that." Ash pouted. 
Daemon stared at her. Definately not like that.'

'Secondly he had a mean streak the size of the Grand Canyon, but he wasn't about threatening girls. And finally, Dawson had just gotten that phone after Dee had accidentally zapped the other one, and he'd cry if anything happened to his Jetta.'

'She seriously hoped Daemon didn't kill Dawson. She'd grown fond of the boy.'


ANYWHO I just felt like typing those down for other people's enjoyment. Not sure if it actually benefited anyone else. But whatever. I loved the relationship between Dawson and Beth. It kinda reminded me of Katy and Daemon. But it was a lot more innocent.... Well, with boys like Daemon, Jace, Will and Nine I'm not sure it's possible to have an innocent relationship.
