I FREAKING LOVE JLA!!!
Stone Cold Touch continues the series with Layla adjusting to her usual life again without the demon Roth. Pretty soon she and the Wardens discover a Lilin has been born, a powerful demon that can turn humans into wraiths, and it seems to be Layla's fault.
I thought that this was a wonderful middle book to a trilogy. It brought on all of the feels and the angst. Plus Zayne finally got a shot at wooing Layla which I am all for. I root for the underdog about 99.9% of the time, so for this books guys I am a member of Team Zayne.
No really, I even voted for him.
Not to say that I don't love Roth either, I just have a feeling he's going to win the fan vote, so I'm crossing my fingers for the sweet guy who's loved Layla for years. The bad boy is welcome to stick around too.
I also loved all of the Buffy references, being the ridiculous nerd that I am. I mean, what else would demons/vampires use for poker currency other than kittens?
Anyways, not my best review but all I have to say is, read this series. It's like book crack for your brain!
(And why not 5 stars? Because she threw in the "Holy Granola Bar" AGAIN. I was really sick of that in her other books Stay With Me and Opposition, so luckily she didn't use these exaggerations too often in this one).
***Quotes to possibly be added at a later time.

Stone Cold Touch was really great! I really enjoyed Stone Cold Touch and can't wait to read Every Last Breath! Team Roth!

2020 update: omg I was just rereading this review and can’t believe I unironically said bae MULTIPLE times in it, so cringy

Flawless, just like every Jennifer L. Armentrout book.
THE BUFFY REFERENCES WERE MY FAVORITE THING OH MY GOSH.
About the love triangle: When I was reading White Hot Kiss I was completely team Roth, like Zayne wasn't even a contender in my book. But somehow during Stone Cold Touch I found myself calling Zayne bæ and I was thinking, wait... Roth is bæ. No, maybe Zayne is bæ. But Roth. But ZAYNE. So now I'm as torn about who I want Layla to end up with as Jennifer. L. Armentrout probably intended her readers to be. (Except I think I'm leaning toward Roth but we'll see by the end of Every Last Breath which I'm starting... Now.)

Re-read 6/14/19: Bumped it up to 4 stars after the second read. I hate love triangles and that's why back then I refused to go above 3 lol. I only ever so sparingly read that trope from my favorite authors and JLA is my ride or die so I had to. Now I can look at this book as part of the series more so than before and sort of kind of appreciate the plot.
