#1 New York Times, USA Today, and internationally bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout returns to the world of the Lux with The Burning Shadow, the steamy, shocking second installment of the Origin series that will leave readers reeling.
When Evelyn Dasher crossed paths with Luc, she was thrown headfirst into the world of the Lux―only to discover that she was already far more involved in their world than she ever suspected.
Because the Luxen aren’t the only ones with a hidden past. There’s a gap in Evie’s memory, lost months of her life and a lingering sense that something happened, something she can’t remember and nobody is willing to tell her. She needs to find out the truth about who she is―and who she was. But every answer she finds only brings up more questions.
Her search for the truth brings her ever closer to Luc, the Origin at the center of it all. He’s powerful, arrogant, inhumanly beautiful, extremely dangerous…and possibly in love with her. But even as Evie falls for him, she can’t help but wonder if his attraction is to her, or to the memory of a girl who no longer exists.
And all the while, a new threat looms: reports of a flu-like, fatal virus that the government insists is being spread by Luxen. A horrifying illness that changes whoever it touches, spreading panic across a country already at its breaking point.
The Burning Shadow was one of my most anticipated releases of 2019. I couldn't wait to get my hands on it, so you can imagine my utter excitement when I got an ARC. My love for this world has been building and getting stronger for years. From the moment I read Obsidian back in 2011, I was in love with this sci-fi world and it's characters and today it's stronger than ever. The Burning Shadow was everything that I could have wanted and more. I loved every single second of this book.
The Burning Shadow picks up where The Darkest Star left off, with Evie and Luc still trying to recover her memories from 'before'. Just when they thought they had uncovered the extent of Evie's moms secrets, they are struck by more revelations... each one more surprising and dangerous as the last. There is a virus happening and the Luxen are caught in the middle of it. Can Evie and Luc figure out what is going on before there are more fatalities?
I loved this book so much and Jennifer L Armentrout just cemented herself as my favourite author ever. I have read every single book Jen has wrote and just when I think that she can't surprise me any more, she writes this beast of a book. And I mean that... it is a beast... it's over 700 pages!! I think this may well be her longest book and I loved every single word of it. Right from the start I was completely in love with the world and characters all over again and once I hit the half way mark I couldn't put it down.
The Burning Shadow was in my opinion... perfection! It was filled with all my favourite Lux characters and the new ones I fell in love with back in The Darkest Star. It was filled with swoon-worthy romance, jaw-dropping surprises and heart-pounding action. I loved every single moment of it and I cannot wait to get my hands on book 3. If you haven't started this series before, I highly recommend it. Even if sci-fi isn't your thing... I promise this will be. Absolutely stunning!
