The Burning Shadow by Jennifer L. Armentrout
5.0
This freaking book, okay?! Just when I think JLA can't surprise me anymore, I'm wrong. So unbelievably wrong.
Finding out more about Evie's past, and Luc's past with her is my favorite thing. Luc was always so mysterious in Kat and Daemon's story (also: Kat and Daemon and friends are back in this and I'm living for it), so learning more about his life soothes my inquisitive soul.
The twists and turns and shocks make me sweat. It's like watching a murder mystery movie, except with a little less murder. Not much less, but a little. And we usually know who did the murdering (*cough*Luc*cough*) so that part isn't so mysterious. But Luc sure is. Damn him and his shady past, bad (read as: amazingly hilarious) pick-up lines, and goofy shirts! Which is what everyone else is thinking about him too, just so you know.
Evie coming into her own is great. I love that she's learning more about her past and becoming more self-aware. She deserves to know all the things and the fact that she won't let anyone give her shit is very helpful in that. She's figuring things out...oh, the things she figures out.
While there is a slight cliffhanger here, it's not so much that you can't hang on until the next book. Unless you're in the spoiler group on FB and seeing all the teasers...that's making it much harder. But, the ending of the book--not too bad! JLA knows how to end with just enough of a cliffhanger to make you want to come back, but not so much that she's leaving you off in the middle of a very important sentence with very important information. That would be rude. She is not rude. She is nice and not major cliffhangery...she is not Satan. Be thankful for this, people.
