ARC Book Review: The Darkest Star by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Positives
👽 Good storyline and pacing, I never felt bored
👽 Engaging protaginist and supporting characters, more than a few from Lux series pop up too which was nice
Negatives
👽 Although it's a new series, it would help to have read the entire Lux series, I had only read the first two so was a tad confused at times but I still really enjoyed the book.
This YA sci-fi novel reminded my why I love Armentrout; the story was very readable, with just enough intrigue and sexual tension to keep me going, and it flowed really well - im already looking forward to volume 2.
Evie Dasher barely remembers the alien invasion from the hostile Luxen 4 years ago. She lives with her Mum, Sylvia, in the town that they were resettled in after the invasion.
Evie makes the mistake of visiting the alien owned club, Foretaken with her best friend Heidi where she meets the very mysterious and annoying Luxen, Luc and starts to get the strangest feeling of deja vu the more time she spends in his company. She really wants to dislike Luc but he, in her own words, has abs for days 🤦♀️😂 the mysterious Luxen has alot of secrets, and Evie finds herself pulled into his dangerous world.
Plenty of breadcrumbs laid for the next book in the series and appearances from characters from Armentrout's Lux series made this a really fun read for me.and I'd highly recommend it.

When Alice Bell's family are killed in a car crash, she moves in with the only family she has left, her aging maternal grandparents. Devastated, she withdraws from the world over the summer. A fresh start at a new school sees her meeting the amazing Kat, her new BFF. When Kat points out her on-again-off-again boyfriend, Frosty, and Ali locks eyes with Cole Holland; her life changes.
Drawn into Cole's bad crowd, Ali soon realises that the injuries Cole and his friends sport, and their skipping school coincides with something strange that Ali has noticed lurking around her backyard. She soon confronts Cole and learns that he and his friends are zombie slayers, and the last line of defence against the zombies hoards that plague their town. Desperate to avenge her family's deaths, Ali joins their crew, but as time passes, the zombie presence grows too. It seems that someone is looking for Ali and will do anything do find her...

Well, well, well. Now there's an ending I was not expecting. I'm not sure I believe everything is as it seems though!
