The Brightest Night

An Origin Novel

By: Jennifer L. Armentrout

Narrated by: Saskia Maarleveld

Number-one New York Times, USA Today, and internationally best-selling author Jennifer L. Armentrout returns to the world of the Lux with this steamy, shocking third installment of the Origin series that will leave listeners reeling.

He is the darkest star.

She is the burning shadow.

And together, they will bring about the brightest night.

Less than a year ago, Evelyn Dasher was a normal girl, living a safe, rather unremarkable life - a life that was a total lie. Now she's learned the truth about who she was and what she is.

Hidden within Zone 3, she knows that if she loses control of her dangerous abilities again, she not only puts everyone in the secret community at risk, but also the beautiful, deadly inhuman Luc. He will do anything to keep her safe. Lie. Barter. Beg. Kill.

But there are truths that not even Luc can prepare for, and as Evie's abilities evolve, the consequences of everything he's done turn devastating.

Luc is stepping into the darkness. But Evie might already be lost to the shadows.

Great Performance, Great Book

Narrator is so good that I keep forgetting she's one person and female. I'm amazed at how well she does her male voices.
Loving all the secrets that unfold. The Lux and Origin Series are some of my favorite books by the author.

What’s next

I wish there were more! What ends up happening with Luc and Nadia… do they find their way back to each other?

NEED the next book!!!

I loved this series, yet I'm in shock that it ended on such a cliff hanger, and that it's been ages since it came out. 😢

still would like to know?

what happened to Luk? will there be another book? or maybe just a short story even?

Evie immature?! Seriously?…don’t think so!

First of all, I hope JLa gives us book 4!!!! Luc is adorable and so awesome, words cannot express how deeply I love him!!! I’m intrigued by Greyson, I like him, but I always fall for the gay guy (he is, right). I want to know more about him. I love having the characters from Lux!!!

About Evie being immature? Her life is a complete chaos!! Everything she knew was a lie, it’s shock after shock and she takes it like a woman!!!! The mother she loved betrayed her, and she has to watch her die, and despite her betrayal, she’s the only mother she knew and she loved her. She was turned into an experiment, she accepts it and keeps working hard to be an asset to the community!!!!

This book is amazing! Every character has depth and growth. I can’t wait for the next book. I read somewhere that it might come out 2024? She’s very busy with the Blood and Ash series and it’s accompanying series. I NEED BOOK FOUR!!!!!
