EVERY LAST BREATH Synopsis: Some loves will last 'til your dying breath Every choice has consequences—but seventeen-year-old Layla faces tougher choices than most. Light or darkness. Wickedly sexy demon prince Roth, or Zayne, the gorgeous, protective Warden she never thought could be hers. Hardest of all, Layla has to decide which side of herself to trust. Layla has a new problem, too. A Lilin—the deadliest of demons—has been unleashed, wreaking havoc on those around her…including her best friend. To keep Sam from a fate much, much worse than death, Layla must strike a deal with the enemy while saving her city—and her race—from destruction. Torn between two worlds and two different boys, Layla has no certainties, least of all survival, especially when an old bargain comes back to haunt them all. But sometimes, when secrets are everywhere and the truth seems unknowable, you have to listen to your heart, pick a side—and then fight like hell… “Armentrout is a major talent…I just can’t stop reading!” --New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter “Armentrout works her magic with swoon-worthy guys and a twist you never see coming.” --#1 New York Times bestselling author Abbi Glines on White Hot Kiss

  WHITE HOT KISS synopsis: 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.

  STONE COLD TOUCH Synopsis: Every touch has its price Layla Shaw is trying to pick up the pieces of her shattered life—no easy task for a seventeen-year-old who’s pretty sure things can’t get worse. Her impossibly gorgeous best friend, Zayne, is forever off-limits thanks to the mysterious powers of her soul-stealing kiss. The Warden clan that has always protected her is suddenly keeping dangerous secrets. And she can barely think about Roth, the wickedly hot demon prince who understood her in ways no one else could. But sometimes rock bottom is only the beginning. Because suddenly Layla’s powers begin to evolve, and she’s offered a tantalizing taste of what has always been forbidden. Then, when she least expects it, Roth returns, bringing news that could change her world forever. She’s finally getting what she always wanted, but with hell literally breaking loose and the body count adding up, the price may be higher than Layla is willing to pay… "Constantly entertaining...the narrative sizzles with as much tension as romance." —Kirkus Reviews on White Hot Kiss

And the Prequel Novella, BITTER SWEET LOVE...

Amazon ** Barnes and Noble ** iBooks ** BAM ** Kobo

  BITTER SWEET LOVE Synopsis: In a sizzling prequel novella to her new series The Dark Elements, #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout draws readers into the extraordinary, irresistible world of Wardens and demons. Dez wasn't just Jasmine's crush. A gargoyle Warden like Jas, he helped her come to terms with her destiny—fending off demons and maintaining the balance between good and evil. He was her everything…right until the moment he disappeared without a trace. It didn't help that Jas's father had just announced that she and Dez would one day be mated. Hard not to take that personally. And now he's back, three years older, ten times hotter, ready to pick up exactly where they left off. But Jas isn't taking that risk again. Dez has seven days to meet all her conditions and earn back her trust. Seven days filled with terrifying danger and sweet temptation. Seven days to win her heart—or shatter it all over again… "With her signature flare for combining humor, romance and action, Armentrout weaves a fast-paced read that will have readers' hearts racing in more ways than one. Like Armentrout's previous heroines, Jasmine is fun and full of attitude, while Dez is as snarky as he is sexy. This is a must read for new and old fans alike!" -RT Book Reviews

Stone Cold Touch by Jennifer L. Armentrout

****1/2

From Harlequin:

Every touch has its price 

Layla Shaw is trying to pick up the pieces of her shattered life—no easy task for a seventeen-year-old who's pretty sure things can't get worse. Her impossibly gorgeous best friend, Zayne, is forever off-limits thanks to the mysterious powers of her soul-stealing kiss. The Warden clan that has always protected her is suddenly keeping dangerous secrets. And she can barely think about Roth, the wickedly hot demon prince who understood her in ways no one else could. 

But sometimes rock bottom is only the beginning. Because suddenly Layla's powers begin to evolve, and she's offered a tantalizing taste of what has always been forbidden. Then, when she least expects it, Roth returns, bringing news that could change her world forever. She's finally getting what she always wanted, but with hell literally breaking loose and the body count adding up, the price may be higher than Layla is willing to pay….

I LOVE the Dark Elements Series. JLA hooked me with Bitter Sweet Love – Dez and Jasmin's story is sweet and snarky, just the way I like them. Then White Hot Kiss – holy cow! It's super steamy for YA and I ADORE Roth! I was devastated at the end of White Hot Kiss, which made me crazy psyched for his return in Stone Cold Touch. I don't get the whole Zayne – Roth debate, to me, there is no triangle, it's Roth all the way. I was told I would feel differently after SCT, but I don't. The "relationship" between Zayne and Layla seems forced and unnatural to me. Roth and Layla just fit, so all this argument over Team Roth or Team Zayne seems like much ado about nothing to me.

Putting aside my giddiness over the wonderfully dysfunctional and frustrating Roth and the romance elements, the events of STC were shocking. The story was amazing, with love, betrayal, twisty turns and a truly emotional and wild ride. I was reeling at the end of it and have so many awesome ideas for how the trilogy will end (though none as awesome as how it WILL actually end, because I totally could not have predicted SCT). JLA is currently writing Every Last Breath, the finale of the Dark Elements Trilogy and I cannot freaking wait!!! It will be out July 2015 – I am greatly looking forward to Layla and Roth's happily ever after (I refuse to even think it may end any other way!)…

White Hot Kiss by Jennifer L. Armentrout

*****



From Harlequin Teen:

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.

White Hot Kiss is a scorching paranormal YA that will keep you up all night!  Layla and Roth are phenomenal.  Poor Layla doesn't fit anywhere, being half Warden and half Demon.  No one can get close, because her ability is to suck out a person's soul.  Luckily, Roth is a demon, so no soul, which means Layla can get as close as she wants, and she definitely wants.  Roth is by far my favorite JLA boy (sorry Daemon, I still love you too!).  He's sarcastic, seriously hot and a completely lovable bad boy.  

Zayne on the other hand is supposed to be the whitehat Warden.  He clearly cares for Layla, but is so bogged down by the expectations of his family, he can't admit it.  I like Zayne, I just don't think he and Layla fit.  Her crush on Zayne was a product of her loneliness as a child.  Her burgeoning relationship with Roth, while admittedly borne of circumstance, is certainly not because Roth is the only person to treat her with any kindness.  In fact, he's kind of a jerk a lot of the time, but he challenges her, forces her to think about her preconceptions and makes her a better person. 

I've probably read WHK four or five times.  It's action packed, emotional and completely awesome!  I'm dying for Stone Cold Touch, the next in the series.   White Hot Kiss in a nutshell = hot demon boys, hot gargoyle boy, awkward and hilarious bffs and a seriously fantastic story.
