Summary: (Goodreads)

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...

#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.


Review: 

Let's just say that I was left speechless after finishing The Darkest Star! From the beginning, I was immediately hooked from the first page. I'm just very excited that Jennifer was able to jump back into the world of the Lux again because this one did not disappoint. As a big fan of Jen's I felt that Luc and Evie's story was one of the best, plus we get to see our favourite characters as well. Thank you Tor Teen and Raincoast for allowing me to review one of my all-time favourite series.

The Darkest Star follows Evie, where the Luxen are living among the humans after the events of Opposition. When Evie meets Luc you can feel the chemistry between them, but also a feeling that she has known him before. Throughout the book Evie and Luc get to know each other and also the word Peaches will never look the same once you are done because their relationship is adorable. But the more she spends time with him, the more secrets that are being revealed about who she really is.

This book is one of my favourites of the year! The writing was perfect and I loved everything about it. Lots of action and romance that you will be swooning Luc. JLA is one of those authors that will become your auto-buys because all her books are written like you are there and are transported into the world she has created. Thank you Jen for bringing us back into this world!! Now I will be patiently waiting until the next book. Maybe a Luc POV?? If you are a fan of the Lux series go pick up The Darkest Star! You won't be able to put it down!
