#1 New York Times, USA Today, and internationally bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout returns to the world of the Lux with this steamy, shocking third installment of the Origin series that will leave listeners reeling.

He is the darkest star.
She is the burning shadow.
And together, they will bring about the brightest night.

Less than a year ago, Evelyn Dasher was a normal girl, living a safe, rather unremarkable life—a life that was a total lie. Now she’s learned the truth about who she was and what she is.

Hidden within Zone 3, she knows that if she loses control of her dangerous abilities again, she not only puts everyone in the secret community at risk, but also the beautiful, deadly inhuman Luc. He will do anything to keep her safe. Lie. Barter. Beg. Kill.

But there are truths that not even Luc can prepare for, and as Evie’s abilities evolve, the consequences of everything he’s done turn devastating.

Luc is stepping into the darkness. But Evie might already be lost to the shadows.

The story was built up great and the characters were pretty dynamic. I’m not happy about the ending but I won’t spoil it. Definitely a favourite of mine❤️

Please tell me this isn’t the last...

There has to be another. I really liked the character development and the strength the main characters give to each other. The reader makes it easy to follow who is speaking even with some fast paced conversations. I want to know how Luke and Evy end up

Can't wait for the next

I love, love, love Jennifer L. Armentrout, but just didn't care for this book. I found it boring and the romance scenes were just...blah. And there was too much long-winded romance scenes. I honestly skipped over many of them.

Not her best writing and lately her books feel rushed. Hoping the next is better!

Not the best
