The Burning Shadow by Jennifer L. Armentrout
4.0
JLynn absolutely never fails to deliver! She can give you ALL the feels.
I just finished reading this last night. Like the whole night. I WANT THE NEXT BOOK. NOW
The amazing thing about this author and this book is that you feel one with the character. You feel things in the book as though you are living them. I felt everything Evie felt, most part her frustration, confusion, terror, love ,etc.
This story was honestly super gripping. I usually don't like second books in most series because they turn out a little boring compared to the first. But not this one. Ya I wasn't as big a fan of it as TDS but it was ... WOW.
I loved that we got to so much Luc! And the scenes were definitely more steamy than anything we've read so far in the Lux world.
I'm still reeling from the book, just feeling too much. There are a few spoilers below because i cant stop the rant:

I am so scared for Evie and what's going to happen to her. I don't think she can ever be normal/human now. What happened to her as we learned in the end...whoa it makes me cry. (Sort of more for Luc.. because damn poor guy blames himself)
Also, there were too many deaths for one book. Please JLynn don't kill so many characters, it's crushing me.
And as usual my heart broke for Luc and how much he had to go through, how powerless and out of control he felt.
But I'm super wary of the way it was mentioned in the book that 'they were made for each other'. That's super creepy, like were they genetically altered to love each other or what?! Obviously that won't be the case...this is JLynn we're talking about. She can write romance which makes you swoon. So fingers crossed and here's to waiting AGAIN for another year for the next book to release.
