It's not only for that though, it can also heal sick humans, sick with cancer, etc. It is one that they are working on to try to help the hybrids they make survive longer than most of them seem to be able to. Luc agrees, but only if Daemon promises to get a hold of some kind of formula that has been created by Daedalus. First he stops by Luc, the hybrid who helped them in the last book, and asks why he did what he did, and what he can do to help him get in to rescue Katy. He doesn't just go running off by himself. And of course, when he gets out, he does. In the meantime, Daemon was taken home by his friends and family and they try to keep him there, try to keep him from getting out, because they know the first thing he will do is go to find and save Katy. He fills her in to a point, and talks with her to a point, but he is still working for Daedalus, and will only go so far. And soon she finds herself talking to him and asking him things about what is going on. And he is the only one who seems to care anything more for her than as a testing specimen.

Within the facility she has a guard, named Archer. The title of the book has to do with other alien/hybrid types of people there, that they call the 'origins'.

And once that fight is over, they come to see what her powers really are, and she starts to learn more about the facility she is in. And the fight with him, and the things he says to her to get her mad, they make her training turn the corner. Blake who she hates for all the betrayal he's been responsible for. It keeps going until they bring in Blake. And it ends up getting her pretty beat up. There they test her and examine her, and subject her to fights with other hybrids like herself. The first thing Daedalus does is move her to a different location, basically Area 51. But in the end, Katy got trapped and she was stuck there. When we left off in Opal, they had been able to rescue Dawson's human girlfriend, Bethany from Daedalus. So here I go, spoilers galore for anyone who hasn't read this far in the series, so stop now if you don't want them, this is your last warning!

Book 3 definitely left with a bit of a cliffhanger, and that is where this book picked right up basically. Of course if you haven't read all the books before this, you should go back and read those reviews first, Book 1: Obsidian, Book 2: Onyx, and Book 3: Opal. I'm still so in love with Daemon, and of course Katy is, hmm, my spirit animal? My fictional wannabe? The book blogger that her character is makes me so happy to read about her, even if she doesn't really get do do much of that in this book. This book is now on my stack to go with me in September to NOLA Stor圜on when I should be getting to meet this author finally. So, didn't realize that the next book after this wasn't Oblivion, and when I finished this and realized I didn't have the next book, I was a little upset, as this cliffhanger was a really big one! Well, to me anyway.
