If you’ve ever read a novel by Jennifer L Armentrout then you know that she has a skill for creating incredibly hot paranormal love stories. If you haven’t, then you’ve been missing out. The Darkest Star is no exception to that, it’s hot, funny and has a good plot too. I haven’t read the Luz series, and even though this is a spin-off of that series, you don’t have to read it first.

I really liked the characters in this book. There was so much witty banter that I found myself laughing or grinning a lot of the time while reading. Luc was my favorite character. He was rude to Evie when she first met him and that was not at all like what I expected him to be., He was funny and an interesting love interest. Evie was a little more vanilla, but I still enjoyed reading about her.

The plot was pretty good. There was a bit of a mystery and a plot twist, but I totally saw it coming and guessed almost every thing that happened. So I’m a little sorry to say that it was pretty predictable. I did really enjoy the world building and the whole alien story line. Reading this book really made me want to read the Lux series.

Overall I would say that it was a hot YA paranormal romance with a good, but predictable plot and great world building. Although it was predictable I enjoyed the story line and characters enough that it didn’t bother me too bad. I have read several novels by Jennifer L Armentrout and would highly recommend them to fans of romance novels with sexy men in them.
