My Review:

Rating:

“There's nothing we can do other than live with the promise of tomorrow while knowing it may not come.” 

Jennifer L. Armentrout has out done herself yet again!! I was so disappointed when the Lux series came to an end and now we get to travel back to that world through her new Origin series. :)

The Luxen series is what got me hooked on reading again after a long hall of disappointing books that never really held my interest. Now with the Origins series it is pulling me out of 

yet another reading slump I have found myself in. 

I'm so glad we get to experience the Luxen world once again, with cameos from some of our favorite Lux characters. One of those characters being Luc!! I was so excited to hear he was getting his own series, the misunderstood Origin from the Lux series!!

“That was what I wanted at some point in my life, for someone to look at me like I looked at tacos.” 

The Darkest Star follows Evie, a young girl just trying to get her life back to normal after the Luxen invasion and the death of her father. She has friends, her mom and a very normal high school life however ever since she met Luc her world has been turned upside down. 

Two classmates have turned up dead and Evie is beginning to question everything about her life. Who is she really? Why does she feel drawn to Luc, the presumed bad boy? 

This book has you on the edge of your seat from the very first page. Wondering what is going to happen next? Is Evie really who she thinks she is? And how does Luc know so much about her? 

I loved every second of this book and truly cannot wait to get my hands on the second book. Jennifer L. Armentrout is a phenomenal author and never disappoints. Every one of her books is a page-turner, keeping you wanting more. 

Just to hold me over until book two I have a feeling I will be rereading the Lux series.
