Synopsis
#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.
Review
✨ I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review ✨
Holy alien babies!!! I don’t know where to begin.. gah this book made me feel so many feelings and I don’t know what to do with them.. seriously!
Evie still processing the revelations of who she is and her complicated feelings for Luc but strange things are happening, humans are falling sick from a virus that seems to be being spread by the Luxen.
Ok so this book had so much action, I was on edge for the entire read, it was one of those very rare and awesome times that I just couldn’t predict what was going to happen next and it was intense!
I flipping love Luc! I think maybe more than Daemon now which is just mind-blowing, but he’s such a unique character, all mysterious and he is such a sweetheart with Evie but also a freaking badass! I mean there is one scene and I was like wooh!!!!
I really can’t go too much into the story without giving anyway too many spoilers, just get pre-ordering and read immediately the second it’s released!
