Here's a little bit about The Burning Shadow
Add on [goodreads]
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 remember and nobody is willing to tell her. She needs to find out the truth about who she is—and who she was. But every answer she finds only brings up more questions.
Her search for the truth brings her ever closer to Luc, the Origin at the center of it all. He’s powerful, arrogant, inhumanly beautiful, extremely dangerous…and possibly in love with her. But even as Evie falls for him, she can’t help but wonder if his attraction is to her, or to the memory of a girl who no longer exists.
And all the while, a new threat looms: reports of a flu-like, fatal virus that the government insists is being spread by Luxen. A horrifying illness that changes whoever it touches, spreading panic across a country already at its breaking point.
#1 New York Times, USA Today, and internationally bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout returns to the world of the Lux with this steamy, shocking second installment of the Origin series that will leave readers reeling.

Review:
Wow… Wow… Wow*… I seriously don’t know just how much more I can take because this was really an awesome book, but let’s just say that it’s a not a walk through the park. The author is making sure we are hanging on to every word and will leave you demanding more.
Seriously, this book is going to get you through so many emotions and hit you in the feels at moments you didn’t expect. I seriously felt each emotions as if I was any of the characters. Just so you know, if you tend to connect with the characters’ emotions like I often do, you might want to find a way to no harm your book during your reading; just a friendly advice ;)
The story continues shortly after the events of the first book and though there are still quite a lot of unknowns for Evie about herself and in this book, she tries to mend who she was as Nadia and who she is now and it’s not easy. She struggles a lot through it, but she has Luc to help her with it. Sometimes he’s not that much of a help, but it really comes from the heart and you know he has good intentions.
Evie and Luc’s relationship is complex at best, but you can tell that they will always gravitate around one another no matter the doubts, the unknowns and the danger. Luc has never been silent about what he feels for Evie and it doesn’t matter that she doesn’t remember being Nadia; she will always be the one for him. Evie struggles a lot more to put into words what she feels and it will take her longer to accept that there is no way around it, but nonetheless, these two need each other.
In this book, so much is happening and I’m like… what can I say without giving spoilers but to make sure you do pick up this series because seriously, you won’t want to put it down (at least, not on your own lol). The coexistence between the humans and Luxen is really hanging by a tread and with many events happening in this book, you feel like it wouldn’t take much to sever it. Evie and her friends are trying to deal with that in their own city as humans at her school are now protesting more and more about how Luxen have no rights bringing more hatred each day in many students.
But when Evie discovers a disturbing detail about one of these protestors, it leads her and her friends to investigate it and stumble about some frightening discoveries.
Now we have to wait for a whole year and that is just plain evil from the author’s part because I need more answers, I need to know where it goes. I won’t lie; I’m not above stalking her to get my hands on the first pages on the next book hahaha
I was giving an advanced copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.
*I’ve come to realize that I started my review for the Darkest Star in the same way lol
