How can you still end the book series on a cliff hanger??!!
OMG this was super amazing but I’m not surprised.

So I love Jennifer L Armentrout. She is an amazing author and I have read several of her series and even a couple of her stand alone books. I have now just finished the Origin series. This set is an amazing series. I have loved following Luke and Eve(Nadia) story. I'm seriously still sitting here in shock at the ending. I don't know how to feel. I'm ready to cry and I want answers. I'm sad to say the fourth book is not out yet but will be released soon. Honestly in my opinion not soon enough. This series has love, betrayal, friendship, adoption, hostages, fighting, aliens and honestly so much more. The plot is amazing and you truly fall in love with the characters. I have been very upset with some things that have happened to characters and relieved about others. If you're looking for your next series I recommend this. Also the narrator for this series is really good.

Another amazing book my JLA ❤

After 6 years I know that I will devour everything this woman writes. And this book was no exception.

Before starting this book I was super afraid, I mean Luc and Evie already went through hell to survive and be together and things were too perfect...too calm. I should have known better.

Luc and Evie were the sweetest thing in this book. Their relationship evolved so much in so many levels! They are so perfect together. Evie is so strong and fierce even if she doesn’t realize that, and Luc is such a dork sometimes, those lame pick-up lines crack me up!

I kind of want to give it a 2.5 actually, but I like Luc too much, so it's a 3.

Well, first of all. Hideous cover change. I really don't know why it was changed. I thought the other covers were beautiful, and I would have loved to have seen more versions of such a design. I really hope there will be a different kind, because I plan to buy them as physical copies (yes, that's how much I really, really like Luc) but this one here would destroy the aesthetics.

Anyway, how to sum this up....well. Did anything really happen? Throughout these almost 500 pages, did anything really happen? Because a lot of it seemed...pointless, almost. It felt as if the book was unnecessarily lengthened. Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining about Luc's screentime, but plot-wise? For example -- somewhere around the end, Evie went and accompanied the doctor throughout her day, but why?

Spoiler

Was it to give Evie something to do? Because I'm not going to lie, they made their way to this safe zone, but that's where it just stopped. The plot just took a break here, and all we got after that was some randomness, something to pass the time til the end. Again, I appreciated the fact that we could see Kat and Daemon and their baby, and I understand what the safe zone was meant to catalyse in the story, but truth be told, it was not very well done, and I have seen Armentrout pull some really cool shit in dope ways.

Also, Evie finally realised that Luc has some shit weighing on him, and I wish it didn't take so long, and that we could have more heartfelt stuff like that. I wanted them to clash; there was supposed to be something brewing there. I love their relationship, I love Luc, but why did it feel so glossed over?

I think the end was really cool though, and I am excited enough to anticipate the next book. I think that was a twist I didn't see coming, and I am very curious about how this all plans out.
