White Hot Kiss by Jennifer L. Armentrout
5.0
"People with the purest souls are capable of the greatest evils. No one is perfect, no matter what they are or what side they fight for."
-Jennifer L. Armentrout
This is a book that you can most definitely not judge by the cover. Although it looks to be a steamy adult romance novel it is actually about gargoyles and demons. Of course there is romance spread throughout the story, but it focuses on a girl name Layla who is have Warden (gargoyle) and half demon. Layla has unique abilities and struggles with understanding her place in the Warden world. Jennifer L. Armentrout has such a youthful way with words and her dialog reminded me of conversations I have with my friends. The banter between Layla and Roth and Layla and Stacey were on point and so snarky and witty, I loved it! The concept of gargoyles was a new aspect to any paranormal book I have ever read and I thought Armentrout nailed it. She also created some amazing characters, some very swoon worthy guys! Layla is determined and feisty which surprised me because I was expecting her to be another weak female character stuck in a "triangle". Zayne is strong and protective and then there is Roth! I am so team Roth. Who doesn't love the bad boy with tattoos? The plot was addictive and was laced with so many twists and turns that were shocking and unexpected that kept me on the edge and guessing the whole time. And that ending....There was very little (triangles) I didn't like about this. I would recommend this to anyone who loves Supernatural or just some good paranormal romance with some swoon (lust) worthy male characters!
There was a snake named Bambi and monstrous kittens!
Demons, gargoyles and zombies Oh My!
Amazing secondary characters (Nicolae and Stacey)
The pop culture reference! (Supernatural &Twilight )
Gremlins! That is one of my favorite movies and the retort of the Mogwais was so awesome!
ROTH! I don't know how much I can fan girl over this/him. The fact that he proved himself and sacrificed himself for Layla was so amazing. His personality and the sarcasm was totally fantastic!
Things I did not like:
The love triangle thing. I am so over triangle. Even though this was not a full out triangle it was annoying how Layla went back and forth . I believe this made her weak.
