1.5 stars for roth. zayne ruined the entire book i had to force myself through it.
I like this story but honestly something just feels missing. I love Roth and I love Zane but they’re like different sides of the same coin. Layla also is severely annoying when it comes to who she wants. Because clearly she’s in love with Roth but I think for her Zane is some thing that she feels like is owed to them. I feel really bad for Stacy and Sam and I really wish we got to see more of their relationship. I’m very excited to see how this deal with the witches plays out. I definitely think that the more I read the story her and Zane just feels so I don’t know how to describe it. I definitely don’t know what to call three of their‘s relationship because it is a love triangle but she knows and so does the reader the Roth is it for her. I really hope the next one is better because the whole time though I was entertained I just felt kind a like it was a sitcom or a TV show if that makes any sense.
Tram Roth!!!!
Sorry I had to get that out of my chest.
Leave it to JLA to make not only one but two hot, sweet, perilous sexy guys.
There was too much sugar in Zayne (I will need a shot of insulin after this book) but it's a matter of what you like.
The book in it self is sexy and entertaining, very much like all her books. There is also a sort of hidden message of self appreciation in it, which I find is extremely important to young girls, so go Jennifer!

I was vibing until they actually decided that Layla and Zayne should act on their mutual attraction. Is nobody else concerned with the fact that he’s 21 and she’s 17? Like seriously, I can find zero reviews that point this out. I get they’re supernatural beings, but they age like humans emotionally and physically. Really rubbed me the wrong way and I won’t be continuing the series. The crush Layla had on Zayne was weird period, but the fact that a grown ass man reciprocated that crush? Then acted on it? Yea, gross. I finished the second book, but i’m not moving onto the third. This love triangle is not it.
adventurous
lighthearted
medium-paced
Wow I loved this one even more than the first book! Yet again I can honestly say I hate Zayne with a passion! This book had me wanting to throw it but at the same time hold on to it so I don't miss anything! Layla is such a badass I love her take No crap attitude... Yes how can you not love the oh so cocky and cute demon prince Roth! I hate that I have to wait for book 3 to come out! I love Jennifer L. Armentrout's writing style!
Aaaaaand we’re back. Hello and welcome to book two of the Dark Elements series. Nice to see you’ve stuck around. Let’s get on with it, shall we?
Being close to Layla Shaw isn’t very easy. Half Warden and half demon is already problematic in her world, but it would be a hell of a lot easier if she didn’t have the power to kiss the soul right out of your body. I’m not trying to be cute, this is literally her power. Zayne and Layla have been getting closer as of late due to his need to ensure that she is okay after Roth being sent to the pits. It’s been a rough adjustment when all she can (but doesn’t want to) think about is him, but her childhood friend and longtime crush is making it a bit more bearable. Things have been strained and difficult to say the least, when she’s back living with people who don’t trust half of her, and they become even more so when she learns that Zayne and Abbott have been keeping secrets.
This low she’s at isn’t the end, but as clichés go, only the beginning. Layla begins to turn into something completely unknown to herself and those around her, and develops a new set of abilities that send the toughest demons running. With a new her comes a new sense of hope in things getting better and as Roth returns, she sees a light at the end of this dark tunnel she’s been in since he left. When he makes it clear that things have changed between them, her hope is crushed but she must move on because hell is literally about to break loose.
Spoilers are to come. Leave now or proceed with caution. You have been warned.
Send help. Please. I can’t deal with these anymore. SO ROTH IS BACK AND WE ALL KNEW IT’D HAPPEN BUT THIS BITCH IS LIKE HAHA JK NO FEELINGS. When we sure as shit know that he loves her. But typical teen bullshit makes us WAIT (which I secretly love) and torture us with this awful new relationship between Roth and Layla. I love Zayne, I do. But this relationship was a nightmare to begin with. Layla will legitimately be the death of him if they go any further. THEY JUST NEED TO ACCEPT THEIR FATES AND MOVE. ON. COME ON PEOPLE!!
The premise of this entire series is just improving with every chapter you finish, and I love that, but my god, IF THESE CHARACTERS DON’T FIGURE IT OUT SOON I’M GOING TO FLIP MY SHIT.
I have said it before and I will say it again, love triangles are the. Bane. Of. My. Existence. I HATE THEM.
PICK ONE. You know there is a flaw in one system of the two you’re involved with. Yes Layla, we feel for you. Roth is in hell and you’re upset, rightfully so. HOWEVER, this does not entitle you to just act willy nilly. This girl acts like Zayne’s well being is in her best interest but she is acting on a relationship that is doomed from the get-go. Zayne has a soul. Layla is like a dementor and sucks the life right outta ya. Do you see the hiccup in this little scenario?
Okay so whatever, maybe she’s just rebounding to Zayne because he’s there and being all caring and present in her life. Maybe if Roth were still topside then Zayne would be a nonissue, right? Hahahahaha NO. ROTH COMES BACK and we all collectively sigh in relief until we don’t because he is not about to get back into a “relationship” with Layla. He claims to have not felt a thing for her and she was just a way to pass the time. By sufficiently hurting her feelings, he pushes her away and right into who’s arms? Oh you betcha it’s Zayne’s.
I’m trying to understand how you could be team Zayne when there’s literally no hope for the relationship but we’ll see friends.
The question you’re probably asking is; well Cassandra, why can they all of a sudden kiss now, but not before? Very good question. We have no fucking clue. It’s assumed that with this new ability of hers, she’s able to fight or control her soul-sucking urges. Zayne is a reckless son of a bitch and just goes in for the kill one day and risks his life for a kiss. I almost wished she screwed up then and there to teach him a damn lesson. Fast forward to the end of the book, where we learn that Bambi has been repressing some of her powers when they become an issue for Layla.
I also want to point out that these familiars are my favourite. I want to cover myself in familiars. How cool would that be?! You know who’s familiar? Roth. Go to him. Now.
Layla is such a different character from Kathy and while I love them both, Kathy will always be my number one gal. She was so badass and with her badassness came this confidence and snarkiness that I feel Layla lacks. She has a lot of doubt about herself despite being told that she’s so much more than she is. She just goes back to these people who treat her like she should be ashamed of herself. I get that they’re family and the only family she has, but still. STAND UP FOR YOURSELF, HONEY.
Stacey and Sam are still my faves and in this book we see their relationship growing. We also see Sam growing physically and mentally too. I mean, the kid was a walking encyclopedia, but now he has matured and Stacey is loving it.
The lot of them learn that another Lilin was born from the blood of Layla and it’s hell on earth. People think it’s Layla fucking everything up but she knows better and Roth does too. Suddenly it’s a matter of finding someone who could very well be a student at their high school. SPOILER!! IT IS. AND IT’S SAM. Poor kid did nothing to deserve this shit storm but alas, here we are. When Layla is face to face with Sam turned Lilin, she goes total badass and breaks into this feather-winged creature of power and manages to slightly scare off demon Sam.
As always, there’s a cliffhanger and a crazy one at that. But I loved it and I loved this book, a lot. Am I obsessed with it? No. But I would read it over and over again.
