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

#1 New York Times, USA Today, and internationally bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout brings her trademark drama and intrigue to a new romantic YA science fiction series with The Darkest Star. Set in the beloved world of the Lux, 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 book 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 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...


Jennifer L. Armentrout lives in West Virginia. She also writes under the name J. Lynn. When she's not hard at work writing, she spends her time, reading, working out, watching zombie movies, and pretending to write. She shares her home with her husband, his K-9 partner named Diesel and her hyper Border Jack Apollo, and a slew of farm animals that include alpacas, goats, and sheep.

REVIEW:
So sweet!
Luc and Evie belong together. Forever and ever, amen! You just don't realize how true that fact is until the end when the story all comes together.
Okay, so you learn things throughout the book, it keeps you turning page after page, but the core of the story is in the last few chapters.
I had already learned about these different beings in Obsidian, but this series is focused on Luxen and Arun. More powerful than the Origin we learned of. Especially, the Luxen. Just like humans have good and bad people, so do the Luxen. Definitely takes you on a nailbiting adventure as Evie learns about herself. (She lives among those beings.)
I admit, there were a couple moments that I was almost about to lose interest and then something would happen to pull me back in...
With being as vague as I'm being, I can tell you it's a great start to the series. If you are a fan, you won't be disappointed. If you like sci-fi-ish stories with a romance twist, read it!

REVIEW: It was weird starting off with a He-Man lookalike, Thunder the Barabarian), until I realized a character from the film was watching the cartoon in the airplane. Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
