Wow, absolut fantastisch! Ich wäre nie drauf gekommen, was Evi wirklich ist. Generell hatte es eimige Twists, die mir sher gut gefallen haben.

A decent sequel to the first book. I enjoyed the increased interactions between Evie and Luc. I enjoyed getting to see Daemon, Dawson, Bethany, and Kat again. I DIDN'T enjoy the author's personal politics coming out in the story. I'm also highly skeptical of the ending like many other readers. The author is definitely retconning the Lux series so that this series fits in.

A good sequel that healthily avoids Second Book Syndrome.
If anything, this bad boy ramped it up to 11 with badass superpowers and higher than high stakes.
Watching Evie evolve into a badass super ninja is my favourite thing that I never saw coming.

Burning is an understatement. This book is full of ashes. Overall, another amazing ride from JLA.
It is nice to see Luc and Evie growing together and getting some answers on what Evie is. Also, I must say Grayson intrigues me. I really want to know more about him and follow him into that snarky head of his. Hoping we see more of him.
I hate to have to admit this but, I was somewhat disappointed in this installment. It hurts my soul a little to say that since I am such a Jennifer L. Armentrout fan. However, The Burning Shadow I felt like it built very slowly. Usually JLA is the type to hit the ground running, however I don’t think it really happened until about 50-60% of the way through the book. Also, I know cliffhangers are nothing new but this one just felt flat to me. Almost like if a movie cut off in the middle of a scene... it just didn’t feel “ended”.
It still is a super enjoyable story. Plus, I still love Luc and Evie’s story and will be anxiously awaiting the next book in the series!

I love Jennifer L. Armentrout writing, she never fails to deliver a great story. Luc & Evie did not see any of this coming, and for Luc not to know everything! Wow. I’m happy that she put the characters who started this story in here also. Luc was betrayed and lied to about Nadia, revenge is coming. I can’t wait to read the next book and see want happens.
