When seventeen-year-old Evie Dasher is caught up in a raid at a notorious club known as one of the few places where humans and the surviving Luxen can mingle freely, she meets Luc, an unnaturally beautiful guy she initially assumes is a Luxen...but he is in fact something much more powerful. Her growing attraction for Luc will lead her deeper and deeper into a world she'd only heard about, a world where everything she thought she knew will be turned on its head...My Thoughts
#1 New York Times, USA Today, and internationally bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout returns to the universe of the Lux in this brand new series, featuring beloved characters both new and old. goodreads
I was given a copy for review from the publisher through Net Galley.
This is a brand new trilogy in the same world as the Lux series. This one takes place after the events of the Lux series, and involves a familiar character or two. This trilogy will follow a new breed of being called Origins that are bred from Luxen and mutated humans that are more powerful than Luxen.
When Evie meets Luc at a club known to be a hangout for Luxen. Luc does not make a good impression. In fact, I was wanting to give up on this book if the love interest was going to be this much of a jerk. If you are a fan of Hate to Love trope then this book may be for you. As the story unfolds you realize Luc's true character.
The plot of this book was really great. At first, it started out like any typical YA novel. Once you get into the book a bit the pace becomes lightning fast, and there are twists and revelations a plenty.
After reading The Darkest Star I think that the Origin series will be a satisfying read for fans of the Lux series. It is also enjoyable for those new to the world as well. I would recommend this book for those who would enjoy a fast paced YA story about aliens living on Earth.
My Rating: 3.5 stars
