About this listen

In the world of the Lux, secrets thrive, lies shatter, and love is undeniable.

Number-one New York Times, USA Today, and internationally best-selling author Jennifer L. Armentrout brings her trademark drama and intrigue to a new romantic YA science-fiction series with The Darkest Star.

A girl pulled into in a world she doesn't understand finds herself confronted by long-buried secrets, a betrayal that could tear her life apart...and Armentrout's most swoonworthy audiobook boyfriend yet.

Seventeen-year-old Evie Dasher knows firsthand the devastating consequences of humanity's war with the aliens. When she's 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 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....

Hoping it's just the beginning of another journey into the world of the Luxen. The original series was enthralling. A real page turner. Definitely worth all those sleepless nights.

What and awsome book I love Jennifer L. Armentrout Lux series so when I found out this was a spin off from the lux series I was so excited Luc is such a great character but the book is written from Evie's point of view which is realy interesting because Origins can read minds so yeah awkward lol. The story it's self is fast pace and there is danger around every corner, and some mind blowing secrects coming Evie's way.

Book 2 of the Origin series Burning Shadows is also out from 8 of October 2019 so you wont have to wait for the next book in the series happy reading.

Fantastic narrower awsome book
