Her duty to the Order is her life. Four years ago, she lost everything at the hands of the creatures she'd sworn to hunt, tearing her world and her heart apart. Ren Owens is the last person Ivy expected to enter her rigidly controlled life. He's six feet and three inches of temptation and swoon-inducing charm.

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....

If your thinking about it, do it.
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 you enjoy familar character traits & plot lines
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.

Awesome
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

LUC is BACK!!
Luc is back everyone!!
Ok if you are a fan of the Lux series then you know, you know how long we have all wanted a Luc story. I think this was perfect it was exactly how it should have been. Now that I am done I WANT MORE!! Like yesterday but all things in time. ;)
Does not mean I can not want it. :P
Do not judge me! Haha
Evie is amazing; I just enjoyed her character even when things come up she is authentically herself and that is rare for characters to still feel like they do at the beginning to the end when so much happens.
We did get a few of our old friends and as much as I missed them I am glad we did not get too much of them because I really think this book needed to be about Luc.
Now for the narrator, Saskia is amazing I enjoyed her performance she really brings the story to life and can keep you interested and enjoyed it and hope she continues to narrate this series.

This was beyond amazing in typical JLA style
DS was my most expected book for this year and it was definitely worth the wait. I am such a crazy fan of Lux and have read the series more times that I could count. So being back in this world was like a dream come true, like coming home after being away for a while. I haven’t realized how badly I missed the whole gang. And my heart was overflowing with so many emotions the moment I stepped back in the Lux universe. And the audio is great. This voice is so Evie <3 Loved it <3
Luc was his typical overconfident, a little arrogant and a lot awesome self. I laughed a lot with him in here, but there was this sweet, caring, overprotective side of him that we saw a lot and it would absolutely make you swoon. He was just the perfect, dreamy BBF material.
I was kind of surprised at the beginning that the whole book was told from Evie’s POV, but her backstory was so intriguing that it sucked me in from page one. She seemed like the normal, regular kind of girl with very human hobbies and interests. But she was anything but that. There were lots of things about her that were revealed one after another and kept my interest to the very end. She was a true enigma and still is, even though lots of questions were answered there are a ton more that are still running in my mind.
The love between Luc and Evie was a slow-burning one and I really liked the fact he was so attentive and gave her the space she needed to come to terms with the relationship they were building. I never took him for the patient type, but apparently, he somehow changed through the years and grew a little in a very good way. Be prepared to sigh and drool a lot during this book.
But also expect a lot of action, some epic battles and some very intensive and nail-biting moments in typical JLA style. I absolutely forgot how awesome Luc was and the extent of his abilities. He showed some serious powers and I really enjoyed seeing him in fight-mode. He was awesome, as well as some other very well known friends who made an appearance.
Seriously, I wouldn’t have dreamt of a better spin-off to Lux series. I absolutely loved it. So many emotional moments, so many twists and turns, so many secrets revealed, so many new favorite characters made and so much more to come. All the feels, all the stars, top read for the year and a new favorite book couple. Great come-back in the Lux universe and holy alien babies, I need moreeeeeeee!

I would MAYBE recommend this.
Overall, it was very okay. Like, extremely average. Nothing was particularly wrong with the narrator, but oh my goodness, I had trouble with the writing. If I had a nickel for every time the author wrote “the side of Luc’s mouth kicked up” to describe his half smile, I’d be able to buy a house. Also, some of the same interactions occur VERBATIM in the book, which makes me think that the author either thinks I haven’t been paying attention to the ‘banter’, or that the heroine is JUST that dumb. She doesn’t re-write the narrator’s response, she just has her say the SAME EXACT THING.
I got this book because it sounded interesting, and because I was about to embark on a road trip, so I wanted to get a nice, long book. Everything about the book was just plain average. If you’re looking for a book that’ll keep you mildly entertained, but nothing more than that, this is the book for you.

I was confused - Spoilers in this review
First of all I wish the narrator would have listened to The Lux Series first. Since Daemon is the main character in the 5 book series. It just bugged me that she read his name as Daimon instead of Demon.
Second, the story line itself was too unbelievable. To think Sgt. Dasher could have any type of loving relationship with a Luxen.
Plus, in the Lux Series, Daemon asked where Dasher was and was told he died in the Vegas fight.
if he died in the Vegas fight which was before the Luxen invasion, he couldn't have been at the house when Evie was brought home because Evie was wherever Luc was during the invasion.
I love Jennifer Armentrout and J. Lynn but I really would've like the story to mesh with her original Lux version. There were many directions she could have gone without changing details.

Just your average teenager book
That narrator was an average performer. It was difficult to differentiate between different characters who were talking in a conversation because she wasn't able to change her voice well. The storyline and plot were simple and predictable. The hero was not really swoonworthy. He was nice, but not romantic enough. He was supposed to be the strongest guy but he still got his butt whooped bad. predictable predictable predictable! unfortunately, I lost interest in the first few chapters and went and listen ed to another audible book and made myself come back to finish this book because I can't leave books unfinished, even as awful as this one was. Sorry to all the fans, but this one was just MEH!

My god, this is terrible
That was my thought halfway through the first chapter. I kept going because I had just finiahed the Ash and Blood books so I knew Jennifer Amentrout could do better. But it really doesn't get better. I will preface by saying that I did not read the Lux series. These characters are so annoying, predictable and shallowly written. And the author clearly has no idea what modern teenagers sound like, the dialog is so cringey. Plus Luc gives off major Twilight/ 50 Shades vibes in that he is rude/overbearing and absolutely disrespectful of Evie's boundaries, under the guise of "I know you like it" and "I actually really do care about you." Super damaging message to be sending to young audiences.
The storyline could be good, but I don't know because I couldn't make it to the end.

Not much happens
I prefer a bit more epic stories. This book takes place at home at school and at a club. I was waiting for something more to happen but it did not. I was expecting more of a Bood and Ash drama, but it did not come even close.

Nice to finally have Luc's story.
I was always intrigued with Luc but I had a bit of difficulty separating the 19 yr old adult Luc, in this book to the Luc in Obsidian, with Daemon and Kat. He was about 15 back then and so immature and now, well, I had a hard time separating when he got intimate (not quite sex yet), I guess messed around more than just kiss Evie. I gave it a 4 star because there were several moments with Daemon in it. Lol. Narrator was pretty good, not great but it was doable.

Loved just loved
Now I have never read the lux series prior but this book made me curious on all the lore I missed out on. I already have the second book waiting in my library

Very Y/A
The writer is trying to reach a younger audience with references to “instagram” and using slang. It takes away from the story and makes it feel so immature. I couldn’t even finish the book because it felt like my middle school watt pad. I tried giving it a chance multiple times but it just wasn’t for me.
