Origin (Armentrout)

In the world of the Lux, secrets thrive, lies shatter, and love is undeniable. Seventeen-year-old Evie Dasher knows firsthand the devastating consequences of humanity's war with the aliens. When she's caught up in a raid at a notorious club known as one of the few places where humans and the surviving Luxen can mingle freely, she meets Luc, an unnaturally beautiful guy she initially assumes is a Luxen...but he is in fact something much more powerful. Her growing attraction for Luc will lead her deeper and deeper into a world she'd only heard about, a world where everything she thought she knew will be turned on its head... Welcome to the Origin series. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

When Evelyn Dasher crossed paths with Luc, she was thrown headfirst into the world of the Lux, only to discover that she was already far more involved in their world than she ever suspected. Because the Luxen aren't the only ones with a hidden past. There's a gap in Evie's memory, lost months of her life and a lingering sense that something happened, something she can't remember and nobody is willing to tell her. She needs to find out the truth about who she is-and who she was. But, every answer she finds only brings up more questions. Her search for the truth brings her ever closer to Luc, the Origin at the center of it all. He's powerful, arrogant, inhumanly beautiful, extremely dangerous...and possibly in love with her. But, even as Evie falls for him, she can't help but wonder if his attraction is to her, or to the memory of a girl who no longer exists. And, all the while, a new threat looms: reports of a flu-like, fatal virus that the government insists is being spread by Luxen. A horrifying illness that changes whomever it touches, spreading panic across a country already at its breaking point.
