The Origin Series Book 2: The Burning Shadow by Jennifer L. Armentrout

The Burning Shadow (Origin, #2)
Origin Series Book 2
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.


#1 New York Times, USA Today, and internationally bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout returns to the world of the Lux with this steamy, shocking second installment of the Origin series that will leave readers reeling.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

Never been so happy to receive an advanced reader copy. Because damn, was this book good. Picking up exactly where The Darkest Star left off, things have gotten a bit complicated in the world of the Lux. This book had plot twists on plot twists. Just when you think you may have figured something out, there is a new surprise waiting for you. Evie is still struggling to figure out who she is, but there is one thing she is sure of and that is her feelings for Luc. No matter who she used to be and who she is now, both times she knows that her love for Luc was constant. And Luc is the same. But even their epic love story has its complications. Trouble is stirring again with Luxens and humans. Humans are once more blaming the Luxen for the new issues that are arising, a horrifying virus that is killing man. And if that wasn't bad enough there is something out there that is neither, human, Luxen, or even Arum. Great, great read. Just when some questions are answered, new questions emerge. But at least we got to see a lot of familiar faces! I really loved this story and after the cliffhanger ending, I cannot wait for the next one!

I received an ARC for an honest review.
