Luc! LUC!?!
Yes, Luc has a book!

“I came here to hang out with my friend. That’s all I’m doing. It has nothing to do with you.”
“Everything has to do with me.”
I blinked once and then twice, waiting for him to laugh, but when he didn’t, I realized I’d officially met the most arrogant being on this planet.

Luc is back and he is an unbelievably out of this world male. As usual.

“Okay. You just took creepy to a creeptastic level of unknown proportions.”

Only this time he has grown up. And he is interested in a girl.

“He . . . he knew my name, Heidi.”
Her eyes widened. “What?”
I nodded. “How is that possible? He said he knew who I was and he knew that I’d never been there before.” Uneasy, I folded my arms over my waist. “That’s really freaky, right?”

And then there is...

A bit of kissing.

“A Luxen didn’t kiss you, Evie.” His lips brushed mine. “But neither did a human.”

A bit of kidnapping .

“You’re—you’re trying to kidnap me.”
“Hmm.” He turned slowly so he was facing me. “I wouldn’t say I’m trying to kidnap you. I would say that I’m actively offering you a place to stay for an undetermined amount of time.”

But Evie will be fine, because so far she is Safe from pain and truth and choice . . .
And Luc for his own reasons would never hurt her. Everybody says so.

Luc: “I could do a lot of things. I have done a lot of things, and sometimes, I do hurt people,” he said quietly, softly. “But I could never hurt you.”
Mom: “Luc would never hurt you.”
Emery: “You can trust him. Out of everyone you’ve ever met, you can trust Luc.”

A new book in the Lux universe and I was so excited before I started this book and I was so satisfied when I finished it.
This is the story of Luc and the girl that he loves, but the book also moves forward the story of what happens in Earth after the Lux invasion.

Humans know now that aliens are among them. Earth has suffered a huge destruction. Many have lost siblings, relatives, friends, neighbours. Cities have been destroyed.

The unfriendly Luxen have almost been brought to an end.
The friendly Luxen are allowed to live among humans but their super powers are dampened. Although they intend no harm, soon they will be isolated and treated like intentional murderers and society's number one enemy. Most humans know nothing about the Origins or the Arums or the mutated humans. Or the experiments. Or the fact that Luxen had been in Earth before the invasion.

“...history has proven that anytime a certain group of people has been placed in their own communities, bad things come from that.”

Evie has a lot of things to find out. About her past. About her parents. About Luxens, Origins and Arums. About earth before the invasion. About Luc.

When one after one the people she knows start taking off their contact lenses, she will realise that all her life was a well orchestrated lie.

And Luc, the most powerful Origin, apparently has only one weakness.

I like carefree Evie and I love smart mouth but caring Luc.
I thought that these two are perfect for each other and that they are a great example of star-crossed lovers.

I NEED MORE BOOKS. PLEASE!
