The thrills, drama, and intrigue continue in the third installment of the Origin series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout.

He is the darkest star.

You are the burning shadow.

And together, you will bring about the brightest night.

Less than a year ago, Evelyn Dasher was a normal girl, living an unremarkable life.

Now, she's on the run, under the protection of the beautiful, deadly inhuman Luc. She's been betrayed by those who were closest to her. And she's learned truths about herself that she never saw coming--things she once knew, and was made to forget. Truths with devastating consequences. She's caught in the eye of the storm.

She is the eye of the storm.

My Thoughts

I could have sworn I already used this one for a “Can’t-Wait” post, but it looks like I was mistaken, unless I didn’t tag the post correctly. Which is totally a thing I might do. But anywho, yeah. The Brightest Night. I’m actually not really that excited for this book. I LOATHE Luc, the male love interest. LOATHE. However, it’s JLA, and there’s supposed to be a baby-related short story at the end of the U.S. first editions. I NEED the baby story! But the stupid cover change is ridiculous. I wasn’t particularly thrilled with the original covers, but changing them to something so 2010 is irritating. I know JLA mentioned trying to get special cover copies for reader. I hope that still happens. I think that’d be a great preorder incentive. Without that incentive, I’ll probably just ask my mom to pick up a copy for me for Christmas or something.

What book are you waiting for this Wednesday?
