A review by pelicanfreak
Lux by M.J. Vieira

5.0

I absolutely will never be able to say enough about this book.

I had the pleasure of reading it for edits and I actually missed it every time I had to step away. It really sucked me in. Vieira has a way of setting the scene, and with the descriptives - so that the reader feels like they're there. I love when that happens, unfortunately it doesn't very often any more.

The characters are a very interesting cast and you'll find that you love to hate them, or totally root for them... there is sex, violence, romance. There's a little bit of raw anger - that these characters are able to draw out and I've never said this about fiction - I don't get emotionally invested easily - but I did with this book.

I truly hope that Vieira keeps writing as she clearly has a rare gift. With so much to read, literally millions of choices, it still is hard to find something of this quality.
I eagerly await more in this series and I will greedily submerse myself in anything this author writes going forward.

Brilliantly designed, complex characters.
Good continuity.
Spelling/grammar/ etc. on point.

Great cover, fitting. Dark like the book...
As I'm writing this review, I miss the book still. Pretty sure I'll be re-visiting it in the years to come, as a rare favorite.

Highly recommend.
