Ladies and Gentlemen, Armentrout has done it again! She has
brought to life an amazing paranormal world that is set in
this era and made it completely believable. I will never be
able to think of gargoyles and demons the same way again. d
WHITE HOT KISS is filled with action, friendships, love, an
sexy, sexy gargoyles and demons.
Layla is a half demon, half gargoyle and just trying to
figure out where she fits in living with Wardens- gargoyles
who keep the world safe from demons. Zayne is her friend,
and a Warden, who she happens to have a huge crush on.
Zayne, along with anyone else, is off limits for Layla
because one kiss from her and she will steal your soul.
Roth, a soulless demon, shows up in Layla's life and though
she knows she should stay away she has a hard time doing
that. Roth ends up bringing out a part of Layla that she
never knew existed and when things become dangerous she has
to make a big decision on who she really trusts and where
her loyalties lie. Will she trust Roth, a demon, who the
Wardens would name her a traitor over? Or sacrifice a part
of her just to keep Zayne and the Wardens happy, no matter
what's at stake?
I became quickly engrossed in WHITE HOT KISS and found it
very hard to put down from the beginning. Layla is such a
complex character and I really liked going on this journey
with her to figure out who she was and what she needed to
do. She really gets put through a lot with the other Wardens
that don't live with her. She isn't very well accepted among
the masses because of her half demon side. Zayne is such a
great friend to Layla and I could easily see why she cared
so much about him. He did some things to make me a little
upset with him throughout WHITE HOT KISS but I think he
always has Layla's best intentions at heart. Roth is easily
my favorite character. He may be a demon but he is a demon
you will love. He does so many things for Layla that no one
else is able to do for her. He shows her a side of her that
she never explored and I don't think it is one that she will
easily disregard.
The setting of WHITE HOT KISS was perfect. There didn't need
to be much world building since it was set in this time but
the paranormal part was explained very well. The only con I
had about the paranormal parts was I wish I had seen a
little bit of uniqueness to it. The stories behind the
Wardens and the Demons are really nothing new so I was sad
to not see a little twist to their backgrounds.
When it came to the romance side of this book I was very
pleased with it. I'm usually pretty picky when it comes to a
book that has a love triangle but this one definitely
worked. Layla has good reasons to feel the way she does
about both Zayne and Roth and nothing felt forced. The
romance also didn't take over the entire story. The story
was mainly about the paranormal elements with romance as a
side story.
I would recommend WHITE HOT KISS to anyone who loves YA
paranormal with some romance mixed in and sexy gargoyles and
demons. I will definitely be reading Stone Cold Touch as
soon as I can get my hands on it.
One kiss could be the last
Seventeen-year-old Layla just wants to be normal. But with a
kiss that kills anything with a soul, she's anything but
normal. Half demon, half gargoyle, Layla has abilities no
one else possesses.
Raised among the Wardens—a race of gargoyles tasked with
hunting demons and keeping humanity safe—Layla tries to fit
in, but that means hiding her own dark side from those she
loves the most. Especially Zayne, the swoon-worthy,
incredibly gorgeous and completely off-limits Warden she's
crushed on since forever.
Then she meets Roth—a tattooed, sinfully hot demon who
claims to know all her secrets. Layla knows she should stay
away, but she's not sure she wants to—especially when that
whole no-kissing thing isn't an issue, considering Roth has
no soul.
But when Layla discovers she's the reason for the violent
demon uprising, trusting Roth could not only ruin her
chances with Zayne… it could brand her a traitor to her
family. Worse yet, it could become a one-way ticket to the
end of the world.
