Books by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Jennifer Armentrout’s From Blood and Ash, a 2020 Goodreads Choice Award-winner, is set in the mythical kingdom of Masadonia, where Poppy Balfour—the ‘Maiden’—has been chosen from birth as a sacrificial figure who will usher in a new era. Veiled, silenced and isolated as she waits for her Ascension, Poppy finds herself longing for the life that she cannot have. Only able to sneak brief moments of freedom, Poppy finds herself increasingly conflicted when Hawke enters her life—a golden-eyed, sharp-tongued guard tasked with protecting the Maiden’s virtue, but who ultimately makes Poppy question everything that she has ever known. Like A Court of Thorns and Roses, this is a book that will make you swoon. Sarah J. Maas herself was among the writers who have endorsed it.

Jenifer L. Armentrout’s bestselling Lux series, which began in 2011 with Obsidian, tells the story of seventeen-year-old Katy Swartz. Having recently moved to West Virginia, Katy has low expectations of her small town until she notices two interesting-looking neighbours—Dee and Daemon Black. Katy and Dee are fast friends, but Daemon is another matter entirely. Arrogant, infuriating, and brooding, Katy finds him difficult—until she is attacked by a stranger and his response makes it immediately obvious that he is not of this world. Soon Katy becomes entangled in an intergalactic war of epic proportions. It’s different in tone, but you’ll find some common ground with Twilight. “Aliens are the new vampires,” claimed the book’s publisher, and—well, see if you agree.
