When Evelyn Dasher crossed paths with Luc, she was thrown headfirst into the world of the Lux—only to discover that she was already far more involved in their world than she ever suspected.

Because the Luxen aren’t the only ones with a hidden past. There’s a gap in Evie’s memory, lost months of her life and a lingering sense that something happened, something she can’t reme ...more

WHAT IN THE ACTUAL F... Oh my goodness.
The amount of reveals in this book!

Y'all, if I was wearing pearls, I'd be clutching the heck out of them right now! I'm serious.

Picking up directly after the events of The Darkest Star, the first book in the Origin series, The Burning Shadow takes us deeper into protagonist, Evie Dasher's, past.

She has huge blank spots in her memories and is beginning to question where she came from.

As Evie and Luc continue to grow closer, she begins to come to grips with ...more

Fear of Luxen has been spreading like wildfire. Now the humans aren't just afraid of Luxen killings. But a mysterious, as well as impossible, disease has been spreading. The victims were people in contact with Luxen.

The mystery Luxen disease has some effects that Luc and Co. have never seen before.

I'm going to keep this review short.

  “You,” he spoke. “It’s only ever been you. 
Before. Now. Later. There’s been no one else. 
There…just can’t be.”

Rereads are over.
Now......I must prepare myself for the real pain and torture JLA shall deliver.😓
Especially after THAT reveal.😨

The story picks up right after The Darkest Star with Luc, Evie, and Sylvia (her mother) all having 'lunch' together—tomato soup and grilled cheese, at the request of Luc ~~of course~~.

What started off as a somewhat peaceful lunch . . . didn't really end well ahahaa. I mean, with the history between Sylvia and Luc, and the multiple times she's pulled out a gun on him—I'm surprised they lasted a full minute before going at each other's throats.😂

“You know what they say about the arrogant man.”

“No, I don’t.” Luc dropped his elbow to the island and propped his chin onto his fist. “But please enlighten me.”

“An arrogant man will still feel immortal.” She lifted her gaze, meeting his. “Even on his deathbed.”

Ahhh it's hilarious watching them try to out-snark each other xD.

Oh and then there's Evie finding out that who she is right now is not who she always was. There's a huge gap of memories missing—some of them, that even Luc doesn't know the reason behind it. Thus begins the questioning of "If she's even real? Or is it all just a lie?"

To add on to that, cases of humans being killed by a deadly flu-like virus have been popping up over the country and the media is leading others to believe that it's because of the Luxen. Which leads to even more unrest/hatred to the race.

A lot's happening, and in the middle of all that, Evie and Luc grow closer and closer. Arguing here and there, but then there were so many sweet moments between the two.🥺 My favourite was one of Luc's gift to Evie: ✨Diesel the rock.✨ ~~there was also a Chia Pet, but Evie killed that in less than a week~~

Of course there were many times I wanted to strangle Evie, because of some . . . decisions she'd make that annoyed me, but hey, at least Luc was there to knock some sense into her haha. (And it goes the other way ofc)

^ (Totally not book-related but I love Usui sm🥺🥰)

I'll never get tired of Luc's funny but completely random shirts. Like who has a shirt that says "WARNING. PANDAS ARE BEARS. STILL NOT AS BAD AS KOALA BEARS."🤣 Looks like Luc has an aversion to koala bears. ~~I didn't even know that koalas were also called that🤔~~

And the speeches he made......aghhhh curse my weak heart🥺

“You lost me,” I whispered. “I lost you.”

“Did we lose each other?” he asked, and then I felt his fingers on my cheeks, chasing a tear that had sneaked free. “You and I are here right now, aren’t we? Somehow, you found me, and I’m not someone who believes in happenstance. I don’t think it was a fluke … I think it was something that was bound to happen and I…”

I opened my eyes, finding his. “What?”

“I was just waiting.”

Also, JLA really has a problem with killing off the characters I LOVE😭😭😭 This here is what gives me trust issues when it comes to her books.😰😂

I'm scared this is only the beginning of these deaths, too.😓 ESPECIALLY AFTER THAT BOMBSHELL THAT WAS DROPPED?!?!?!! I still can't believe THAT happened and ahhhhh I don't know anymore?!?!😖

Still, I never thought just 2 words could change so much . . . ...more

The Burning Shadow was absolutely brilliant. It started out slow and steady and grew into an intricate story that was deep and emotional. I loved the ties into the Lux Series and that we got to see all of our old friends. It felt like coming home. But this book toyed with my emotions in the best way ever! Lies, love, betrayal, friendship and secrets splashed across the pages and it was beyond impossible to put this book down.

“Evie.” Luc said my name as if it were a prayer and a curse.

“Evie.” Luc said my name as if it were a prayer and a curse.
I took a breath, but it went nowhere. His forehead touched mine, and I swore my heart stopped right then and there.

Within those first few pages, I was already laughing so hard. That's because the story started right where The Darkest Star ended. With Evie's mom, Sylvia, making lunch for Evie and Luc. Sylvia and Luc butted heads in the most horrific ways. They were a disaster in the making and I couldn't look away from that train wreck or stop the laughs that were bubbling out of me.

I wanted him to kiss me. I wanted to lose myself in him. I wanted to forget, and I wanted to remember.

From there, we were taken on the most epic adventure. So I was beyond grateful that Evie and Luc got moments where they could sit back for a few minutes and enjoy each other. Their banter was smile inducing, but they also had these deep, emotional conversations that gutted and elated me. Especially when Luc gave Evie little pieces of her past. It felt like we truly got to know everything there was about them and they brought so many emotions out of me. It wasn't a surprise that I kept finding myself with tears falling down my face.

“Tell me what you want.” His lips brushed mine in the darkness. “You need to say the words, Evie.”
“You,” I whispered into the space between our mouths, while my heart beat so fast I didn’t understand how it could keep going. “I want you.”

But there was also heart pounding action that made it feel like I was standing on the edge of the cliff. I was so scared I was going to fall with them down into the abyss, so I was that glued to the pages. And as the story unfolded, we were given little clues. When those clues started to come together I literally had chills. And while some of the twists I figured out, a few of them knocked me on my butt. My mind was blown. So hold on because this book turned into a wild and twisted ride.

“You,” he spoke. “It’s only ever been you. Before. Now. Later. There’s been no one else. There . . . just can’t be.”

Luc is still holding onto my number one spot for favorite book boyfriend ever (sorry Daemon!). The lengths he would go to protect the ones he loved was astronomical. He did everything to keep them safe, and while sometimes it was selfish, I loved him more for it. I also loved that he had no idea how to be modest lol. With hysterical t-shirts, cheesy pickup lines, and being naughty and listening into Evie's thoughts I seriously loved everything about him. Even when he was a little too matter of fact or being violent. His actions shouldn't have made me laugh, broken hand scene cough cough, but it's Luc. I couldn't help smiling and laughing every time he was around.

“Because I’ve already waited forever for this— for you. I’ve done nothing but watch and wait, and I am not walking away again. If I kiss you, if I touch you again, I will not be able to go back to the way things are now.” The next breath he took trembled as much as I was. “I won’t be able to pretend that you aren’t my everything.”
I couldn’t breathe.

Evie was on a huge emotional journey and grew so much! She definitely struggled trying to figure out who she truly was. She had her past and Evelyn Dashed mixed into who she was and my heart hurt for her. But Evie was strong, resilient and she grew in leaps and bounds. I was rooting for her every step of the way! And I loved that she never once lost her confidence, snark or sassiness!

Daemon was quiet for a long moment. “Luc and I would do anything to protect the people we love.”
I stilled, unable to take more than a shallow breath as I stared at the male Luxen. I didn’t know how to respond to that.
“I would beg, plead, barter, and kill to protect Kat,” he continued, voice low, but every word struck me like thunder. “Nothing in this world would stop me, and there’s nothing that I wouldn’t do— and it’s the same for Luc when it comes to you.”

The side characters rounded out this story perfectly. Zoe was the ultimate bff, I loved Heidi too and everyone from The Lux Series. You guys. My heart was elated with how many we got to see, I was screaming. Ohhhh and be prepared because when Luc and Daemon go head to head, I didn't know whether to laugh or hold my breath because of what would happen next. So yes, I loved this book! It definitely didn't suffer from second book syndrome. I loved every twist and turn and I couldn't wait to see what happened next, The Burning Shadow will definitely keep readers hooked and become an instant favorite!

“Evie.” Luc’s voice was quiet but strong.
Drawing in a deep breath, I nodded. “I’m okay. I’m ready.”
And then I stepped forward, hand in hand with Luc, into the unknown.

PS Diesel gets a part in this book and it was so perfect!

PPS I love their Halloween costumes!

Even though I enjoyed reading this I have to admit that it didn't live up to expectations. More than 50% of the book was spent with no important incident whatsoever, just a regular high school drama which I so did not miss and its also why I avoid YA contemporary. The whole thing that happened with Sylvia is pretty much what happened to Kate in Lux series, a little originality wouldn't hurt anyone.

Originally posted at:

This was everything I wanted and SO MUCH more! Jennifer has done it again! Her writing has come such a long way since I read the Lux series. She knows how to write long books and keep me interested the whole way through.

Luc is now my favorite of all the book boyfriends I've encountered over the last decade or so! He's sweet and caring with a possessive streak that rears it's ugly head when things become dire. I also love that he's not afraid of a little something called emotions and feelings. I know it sends shudders through almost every book boyfriend I've read about in the past too.

Evie has been dealt a really bad hand and it just keeps getting worse as time goes by. Luc is the star that lights her way because without him this would have probably not even started (read the book and this sentence will make sense, I promise!). It's a breath of fresh air when something happens to her and she doesn't keep it a secret from Luc and they work on resolving the problem together with their friends. Their communication skills were fantastic in this book.

The author has been very trigger-happy in this series and that scares me a little for future books. People are dying left and right: bad guys, good guys and everyone else in between has been fair game.

My only point of criticism is how these books are released. I would rather have the author work on and release one series at a time than have her working to 2+ series and release only one book per year in that series.

I truly don't know what to expect from this series in the following books (which will be a total of 5). I'm excited and optimistic that things are just going to keep getting bigger and better where the books are concerned. Though their adventure needs to span a total of 5 books so it'll probably be getting worse for the characters until we get to that last book.

This was darker and had a more intriguing plot than the previous one.
There is a lot of new pieces of information in this book that I can't wait to see how it will be developed in the following books.

I think this is a step too far but we will see how it will turn out in the upcoming books.

I still love Luc and his ridiculous shirts. I love how he can be so arrogant and cocky one minute and then charming and sweet the next. He is such a funny guy and he really is amazing to Evie, so patient and understanding and supportive. He also says the most amazing things that make you become a puddle of goo. That boy has real way with words. And there is one thing special about Luc that made me love him even more.

"I am not walking away again. If I kiss you, if I touch you again, I will not be able to go back to the way things are now." The next breath he took trembled as much as I was. "I won't be able to pretend that you aren't my everything."

Evie has been through a lot in this book. She struggles a bit which is understandable because some of the things that happen would be quite hard to deal with. She still struggles with who she is and who she wants to be. But through it all she still remains strong, sassy and courageous.

I love that Daemon and the rest of the Lux crowd makes an appearance and Daemon didn't lost the ability to render me speechless. He is still as amazing as ever to the point where I really want to re-read the Lux series just so I can fall in love with Daemon all over again.

"If Kat lost all her memories tomorrow and she didn't know who she was or who I was, it wouldn't change a damn thing about how I feel for her. I would still love her as much as I did the day before."

And I really love Kent, he made me laugh so hard. He sure is amazing at shining light at every situation.

"I like to think I'm the version of Pennywise who still eats children but then feels bad about it afterwards. Not just because I imagine children would give you indigestion but because eating children would make me feel like a glutton and I have a gluten intolerance. I feel like kids would be full of gluten... And it would be tiresome, you know, having to lure kids into sewers to nom nom on them. I image when I wasn't eating children, I'd mope around, bemoaning how hard my life was and how everyone misunderstood me."
