The Burning Shadow

By: Jennifer L. Armentrout

Narrated by: Saskia Maarleveld

Number one New York Times, USA Today, and internationally best-selling author Jennifer L. Armentrout returns to the world of the Lux with The Burning Shadow, the steamy, shocking second installment of the Origin series that will leave listeners reeling.

When Evelyn Dasher crossed paths with Luc, she was thrown headfirst into the world of the Lux - only to discover 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.

Great srory. Exceptional Narratipn

I find Jennifer's books tragic and intense. So much ao I think I will choose a very superficial and fun story for my next read! I greatly enjoyed revisiting the unique and imaginative Lux universe and catching up with our dear friends - they are woven into tbe story in fun ways but this is Luc and Peaches story and it is totally gripping.

Saskia's narration is superior - one of those rare situations where I wanted to race back to the audiobook in preference to reading.

Holy Alien Babies

Jennifer never disappoints. The sequel was better than the 1st book in the Origin series. At 1st, I didn’t think this series would be able to hold a candle to Lux. But the author surprised me, This series is just as fantastic, and even more mysterious.
I loved the virus plot seeing Luc and Evie growing closer. They are my new favorite couple Luc is my new book boy friend. He’s arrogant, funny, and loves his woman like she’s the only person in the world. He’ll also fight to the death to protect the people he loves. Luc is just my type. I can’t wait to see how the story unfolds in book 3. Knowing Ms. Armentrout, it will be a wild ride. Her writing style and creative story telling are exceptional. She is my absolute favorite YA author.

The growing relationship between characters!

I love the twists and turns between the two main characters. An unknown draw to each other allows for a variety of predictions. Some of those predictions are expected but some are not and provide a refreshing turn of events. Don’t get too attached to some characters as your views may change or your chin may drop. This book was a very fun ride!!

great second book

I love this series and I am looking forward to the next one!! just get it!!!

Awesome!

Predictable but still awesome. Jenn does not disappoint with her alien babies. Luc and Evie are great! I love them. But Daemon and Kat are still my favorites. Pretty much my review is just that I need book three NOW!
