About this listen

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

Number-one New York Times, USA Today, and internationally best-selling author Jennifer L. Armentrout brings her trademark drama and intrigue to a new romantic YA science-fiction series with The Darkest Star.

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 audiobook 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 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....

thank you Jennifer, I was so happy to find this book and carry on with some of the other characters from my favourite Alien series.

Seeing how they have fought back after the invasion and where they are now and how strong they are without drawing the DOD back to their doorstep. But we will see on October 8th how this will pan out.

Loved reading the book within a weekend as needed a break from study, and this did not disappoint with excellent new characters being introduced along the side of old ones like Daemon etc.

The audible brought the book to life and the narrator was excellent in her mannerisms and story telling making it a thrilling read.

so glad to be back with series.

So this is a new trilogy called Origin and it’s a spin off to the Lux series I read and loved years ago! I must have missed this or I would have read instantly. I got the audio version and Saskia Maarleveld did an amazing job narrating.
This takes place 5 years after the Luxen invasion. I feel I may have liked a re read of Lux as I know some characters are back but it didn’t stop my enjoyment at all. It’s definitely possible to read this trilogy without reading the Lux series first but trust me it is worth it.
The story starts with Evie and her friend going to a nightclub where the surviving Luxen and humans mix all in the hopes to see a girl her friend has a crush on. There she meets Luc who at first she believes to be Luxen but he is something more. Add in he knows exactly who she is even though she has never met him........or has she. Her almost normal life is about to get turned upside down. There will be lies or worse.... truths. Classmates will die and she will be in the thick of it. Great story. Right onto book 2.

Right onto book 2

I can’t believe we get to hear Luke’s story! I loved the first Lux series so this is amazing. If you love romance, secrets and aliens, you will love this!

Love the Lux stories

And this is no exception! I couldn’t stop listening and I can’t wait to get stuck into the next one. If you’re a fan of her other stuff, deffo give this one a go! I wasn’t sure at first with it being about aliens. Aliens aren’t really my thing usually BUT I was pleasantly surprised and I absolutely LOVED this! Onto the next one! 🤗

I love anything that Jen writes…

A teenage girl, a teenage(?) boy, 2 different species and a lot of, not very much. This was an almost book; almost because the two main characters, Luc and Evie, almost did a lot of things, but not quite. Also, this is a book, in my opinion, more suited to the younger listener.

Almost
