Publisher's summary

Number-one New York Times, USA Today, and internationally best-selling 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.

Great Performance, Great Book

Narrator is so good that I keep forgetting she's one person and female. I'm amazed at how well she does her male voices.
Loving all the secrets that unfold. The Lux and Origin Series are some of my favorite books by the author.

Evie immature?! Seriously?…don’t think so!

First of all, I hope JLa gives us book 4!!!! Luc is adorable and so awesome, words cannot express how deeply I love him!!! I’m intrigued by Greyson, I like him, but I always fall for the gay guy (he is, right). I want to know more about him. I love having the characters from Lux!!!

About Evie being immature? Her life is a complete chaos!! Everything she knew was a lie, it’s shock after shock and she takes it like a woman!!!! The mother she loved betrayed her, and she has to watch her die, and despite her betrayal, she’s the only mother she knew and she loved her. She was turned into an experiment, she accepts it and keeps working hard to be an asset to the community!!!!

This book is amazing! Every character has depth and growth. I can’t wait for the next book. I read somewhere that it might come out 2024? She’s very busy with the Blood and Ash series and it’s accompanying series. I NEED BOOK FOUR!!!!!

Fantastic!

Each book takes the story to a new level. I am anxiously awaiting the next book to continue this story. The narrators are fantastic. I spend a lot of time driving and these books keep me enthralled.

I'm fucking mad

I loved this book all the way up until 20 minutes before it ended. all they ever wanted was luc and now Nadia has all her memories but luc is the big bad guy. oh how I'm disappointed by that twist. I almost quit and didn't want to finish it. I'm to pissed off to even want to read the next book. who knows when that'll be out... luc is now all powerful and Nadia isn't important to dedulus anymore? wtf... dumb.. I hate that kind of shit.

Blown away!

As per usual, JLA blows us away with a follow up on the apocalyptic world of Luc and Evie. She has built this incredible world where humans and aliens have to figure out how to either work together or become each other’s worst enemies.

A powerhouse of excitement had me turning the pages so fast!!

I loved this!! It was pretty long, but I sucked it right down. The first, not even one quarter of the book didn’t grab me. But then once it did I couldn’t stop!!!

I freaking love Luc so much!!! But we also saw many of those we came to adore in the Lux series, even Hunter and Sabrina!!! Oh yes, and somebody is having a baby.

But this book was action packed!!! I love the Origin series a smidgen more than the Lux. But I love both and how the Origin series is just a branch of the Lux.

The audible was so good. Saskia Maarleveld is such a great narrator anyway and she had a lot of different voices in this book, and I never wondered who was talking. She has such a wide range!!

Made me cry

There needs to be a book 4. This just can't end this way. Please add one more to this series.
