If you have not read the first book this will contain spoilers, so be aware of that and come back once you read book one.

I certainly liked this book a bit better than the last , Evie ad Luc can still be annoying but I think because I expected it, it was not as bad.

The first half was a lot about Evie and her trying figure out who she is more like who she was and her past. She struggles quite a bit with that and what that does, it also put s a strain on the relationship or what was starting to become a relationship. But of course that is not all , while she trying to figure all that out , there is also some kind of super flu going around that is mutating and killing people what seems super fast . Everyone is trying to figure out what is happening and the public is of course blaming the Luxens and things get really dicey for them as well.

Evie grew quite a bit in this book, and became a little more bearable but she is still not my favorite, sometimes she is still pretty annoying especially when she is with Luc. While their banter is funny and cute most the times, there were a few times I rolled my eyes. Like when they were in the most ridicules life or death situation and start their banter, really it felt off, wrong and forced at those times.

Luc I of course still like him and we even get to see some other sites of him, which made me like him even more, But he also had a few eye roll moments, mostly when with Evie . I also must admit that sometimes I have a hard time seeing Luc all grown up lol.

Of course we see some old faces and it was awesome to see them and what has become of them and made me miss them.

The book is full of action and really, the last half our poor people hardly get a break and are thrown into action nonstop. The end was amazing and while I saw some things coming, other discoveries really blew me away and I can’t wait for the next book in the series.

Overall this was a fun read, with romance, humor and tons of actions, sure it had some ugh moments but overall it was a fun read

I rate it 4 ★

So let me start by saying I love Jennifer Armentrout and her books but this one was a little slow for me. I still love look and all his pick up lines and goofy shirts. Evie is still very spunky and finding her place in the world is hard when she learns more of her past. On another note I read the first book and got the audio book on this one. The voice on Evie just missed the mark. She is supposed to be 17 and the voice just didn't match to me so it made it a little difficult for me. This may not be a problem with alot of people but it was for me. I hope the third book picks up the pace a little more and has more of the characters from the first series.

4.5 (spoiler alert if you haven't read previous books)
It was a 3 then it grew into a 4 and bam the last 10% Went 5 stars with it's twisted wicked ending.
Humans can be such jerks ! Kill Kill Destroy, Kill, Overpower, Manipulate, and Own It All. Mwhahahahaha I'm so anti human right now, even wearing my alien lover badge. They thought the worst of the worst was over, but they were wrong.
Luc, Purrr Purrr he makes my inner cougar very happy. Oh dang it I went there. He's a dreamy package with purple eyes, PURPLE ! I don't care if he's a teen character. Him and Nadia/Evie are such a connected couple, I love a long drawn out courtship. there is no insta hormone loving teenager stuff here, thankfully.
Oh the ending ! Wicked Ms. Armentrout has a twisted soul for leaving me hanging like that. I thank you dear author, you rocked it out !

I love this series.
I love the Lux series and I love this series so damn much!
I don't really know what to say, JLA always leaves me in a stand of just shock. A good, stunned, happy, overwhelmed state of shock, but a state of shock nonetheless because she creates worlds and characters you instantly fall in love with. Characters who you can't help but hold dear to your heart, hope for, cry for, and want nothing but a HEA for. The same goes for the worlds she builds. Worlds you get lost in, worlds that feel explicitly real.

The Burning Shadow left me in a state of shock, worried for the characters I love so dearly and also proud of the characters. Each one I love and with each book I can't help but fall more and more in love with. Luc (of course, because who wouldn't just love the ever-loving shit out of Luc), Evie, and their group of friends. Daemon, Katy, Dawson, Dee. All of them (I'm so happy to see more of those characters that I originally fall in love with)! I really can't wait for the next book. I mean it, I can't. I might have to find a crossroads demon, sell my soul, or find a way to jump into the future because I NEED IT!

There are no words to describe my love for the Lux Universe.

I love every character. They are all different, have different personalities, different stories but the same core: fighting for their beloved ones.

Same goes for Lucas and Evie (it feels kind of intimate to call him Lucas)

They are an extreme power couple that support and tame each other. Their love is out of this world (see what I did there?) and beyond beautiful.

I’m not ok about Kent tho. I LOVED him. I had to get over Paris and felt like Kent filled his place for me but he was eventually killed too
