The thrills, drama, and intrigue continue in the third installment of the Origin series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout.

He is the darkest star.
You are the burning shadow.
And together, you will bring about the brightest night.

Less than a year ago, Evelyn Dasher was a normal girl, living an unremarkable life.

Now, she's on the run, under the protection of the beautiful, deadly inhuman Luc. She's been betrayed by those who were closest to her. And she's learned truths about herself that she never saw coming--things she once knew, and was made to forget. Truths with devastating consequences. She's caught in the eye of the storm.

She is the eye of the storm.

Review



There is a reason Jennifer L. Armentrout is one of my favourite authors and she proved it again with this book because she knows how to keep us on our toes. What we thought we knew in the Origin series so far? Forget it; she always finds new twists to add to her series that will make you rethink all of the theories you could have established throughout her books.

The Brightest Night continues where The Burning Shadow ended. As Evie and Luc process with everything they have learned, the two of them and their friends are still trying to deal with the Daedalus and staying alive. As Evie and Luc insert themselves into this community of humans, hybrids, origins and Luxens, you get to see a few familiar faces from the past also.

Evie continues to grow in this book; she becomes more and more aware of whom she is and I feel like in this book, she is more open to it also. I really loved how she is starting to take control more too and not just going with the flow. She is such a badass character and I really feel this book brought it even more out of her.

Evie and Luc’s relationship is only getting stronger and even if they aren’t always seeing eye to eye on everything, one thing is clear; they will both do whatever it takes to protect one another. As they work on helping Evie getting control of her powers, they will both be aware she has to learn to trust herself more as much as Luc has to learn that he can’t always protect her from everything. But they are such couple goals because no matter what, they have each other’s back.

Truthfully, there is so much that happens in this book and in a short period of time too. I honestly had trouble putting down the book when I had to work or sleep because I needed to know what was going to happen next and I didn’t want to wait before finding out. From learning more about Evie’s powers to more bits of the past and why and how everything happens, you will be transported into a world where answers aren’t the ones you expected and new questions will demand more answers.

Trying to make this review spoiler free, I can only say that you won’t be able to just read a chapter or two. Be sure to keep in mind they are quite a few jaw-dropping moments in this book and I swear some of them I am still not over as of yet.

Jennifer has once again made a book where you just can’t get enough. Reading her books always get me out of my reading slumps.

My final verdict of this book is that it was one amazing read and I can’t wait for the next one. Actually, I really need it like yesterday because the ending of this book was mind blowing and I can’t even begin to imagine what she will do next. I really need to know. 

I was giving an advanced copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.
