Oh. My. God.

I can tell you that my brain imploded during multiple chapters of this incredibly amazing story and there were things that if I wasn’t a die hard fan of the Lux series I would not have seen them coming.

I squealed more times reading this book than any other moment in my life. Legit squealing! At 2 o’clock in the morning!

The Darkest Star was way more than I could have ever expected and I’m so freaking thankful I was able to get the ARC, because the anticipation was killing me, but it was also a curse because now I have to wait god knows how long to even get a name of the sequel, so happy and sad tears at the end of reading this book just for that very reason.

I have to say guys, this book surpassed any expectation I could have had. To be completely honest with you I wasn’t all that excited, I mean I was excited because I knew Daemon Black would make an appearance, but I wasn’t sure I wanted a Luc book.

Cannot tell you what I was expecting, but I can definitely tell you I wasn’t expecting this awesomeness.

The Darkest Star not only delivers an incredibly well written story with great new characters and a fascinating, well thought out plot (and plot twists), it also delivers a story about humanity, how all humans are afraid of something they don’t know and therefore we as human beings attack the one thing we don’t understand.

This Origin story gets 5 out of 5 stars just because it’s awesome and I couldn’t put it down. That is the just of it. But obviously you don’t just want that when reading a review, because that is boring and it tells you nothing. Well I’m afraid I may not be able to tell you much either.

The Darkest Star begins four years after the events of Opposition the final book of the Lux series. If you remember in that particular book, the planet was attacked by new Luxen and there was a lot of death, destruction and the world was left afraid of the Luxen and trying to assimilate the knowledge of different beings in the planet.

Things are slowly going back to normal, and humans and Luxen are trying to coexist, but this time things are different because humans know of the existence of aliens and they have the upper hand (or so they think).

Evie is a seventeen year old girl who is in the wrong place at the wrong time when this amazing story begins. Our dear Luc is still the head of a club and he lets in all sorts of beings, Humans, Luxen, Origin and he is also running a secret operation.

I mean did you expect him to do anything else?

He is still the badass you remember, but he’s got a secret and he is also older so he is even more awesome than you might remember.

The secret holds the key to the most amazing plot twist in this book and also one of the most gut wrenching chapters I’ve read in awhile.

I’m sad that there isn’t much I can tell you without spoiling this story, but this is what I can tell you:

There is a big fight, a legit big fight that you see coming, but hope doesn’t happen
Sad to say this, but there are quite a few deaths
We see an appearance by Daemon and Archer
We hear about Dee and Katy, but we don’t see (read) them
Like I said before there is a HUGE SECRET

I know this is kind of vague, but I can’t say anything else without hinting at what the big secret is and then the entire story will be spoiled!

The Darkest Star is such an epic story that will leave you wanting more, with a transcending, swoon worthy love story that has you rooting for Luc and Evie and hoping that whatever is there to come for them they can get through it together and have the happy ending they deserve.
