Spotlight: Jennifer L. Armentrout / J. Lynn


Whether she’s writing as Jennifer L. Armentrout (YA), or J. Lynn (NA/Adult), we love JLA’s work!  She writes amazing characters with incredible dynamics, great action, wonderful romance, lots of emotion, and she always makes us laugh.  Plus, she’s written some of our favourite paranormal/fantasy worlds! We’re still making our way through her considerable backlog, but we’ve listed the ones below that we have read and loved and whole-heartedly recommend.

When it comes to Young Adult Paranormal, nobody beats Jennifer L. Armentrout.  She truly is the queen!  Her move into adult fantasy is absolutely rocking my world!

Check out any of the series below for a guaranteed amazing read.

The Harbinger series

YA paranormal romance

The Harbinger Series is a spin off from the Dark Elements series, set in the same world but with the focus shifting to a different main character.  All of the same characters appear, and it follows on directly from the Dark Elements series.

I would definitely recommend reading the Dark Elements series first – not only because it’s an awesome read, but this series contains massive spoilers for the first.

Origin series

YA paranormal romance

The Origin Series is a spin off from the Lux series, set in the same world but with the focus shifting to a different main character.  All of the same characters appear, and it follows on directly from the Lux series.

I would definitely recommend reading the Lux Series first, as the world and the storyline are complex.  But this is a fantastic follow up, definitely worthy of its own shout out.

Titan Series

YA paranormal romance

The Titan Series is a spin off from the Covenant series, set in the same world but with the focus shifting to a different main character.  All of the same characters appear, and it follows on directly from the Covenant series, but the content is more adult (language, sexual references and scenes).

I would definitely recommend reading the Covenant Series first, as the world and the storyline are complex.  But this is a fantastic follow up, definitely worthy of its own shout out.

Review
Buy:  Kindle Ebook  |  Paperback

This is an ADULT book that takes place in the Lux world.  It can be read as a standalone, and likewise, you do not need to have read it in order to enjoy the Lux series.  However, if you plan to read both, this book fits in AFTER Opal (Lux #3).
