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....

This book's plot is a recreation of plots From Twilight, Shadow Hunters, and much from the short lived CW series Star Crossed and every trope attached to these plots and characters.  So if you like this style, you will enjoy this book. Had a good flow/pace and entertaining.

If you enjoy familar character traits & plot lines

This being my first audio book i’ve ever listened too, i has no expectations but was easily sucked back into the Lux series. I was impressed with the narrator, i was scared of getting bored while listening but Saskia did an awesome job. She did different tones for each character. Im reading another series at the moment and wish Saskia was reading instead lol! And of course, JLA has done it again, SO GOOD

Awesome

I really enjoyed this story and the narrator ras wonderful. Had the been a male as well, I think it would have so much more dynamic. But I loved it.

Love this world!

It was a bit slow for the first few minutes but picked up right away, and I love the narrator. This book has so many twists, it was hard to put down. I've never really read any sci-fi alien books before but this was a good start and gently introduced me to the genre. The writer paints a good photo of what's going on, the names got a bit confusing but that's my fault probably. Definitely worth the listen. I'm excited to read the other two books!!

If your thinking about it, do it.
