After what happened in the end of White Hot Kiss, Roth is gone, and Layla is trying to get to terms with it. Her powers begin to change, and she can’t see souls anymore. Then Roth suddenly reappears, with some bad – and shocking – news. There is a Lilin. And they have to stop the Lilin before it can do too much damage.
At the same time, weird things start to happen at her school, and they suspect the Lilin may be close. But how are they going to figure it out before it gets ugly now that Layla s incapable of seeing souls anymore?
For once, I didn’t have unreasonable high expectations of a book by JLA, since I was disappointed with the first book, but Stone Cold Touch was better than the first. Sure, there were still a little too much romance and too little action in it, but it was better than the first one.
I was still a little annoyed by Layla. I think that instead of focusing on the problem at hand – the Lilin – she focuses most of her energy on Zayne vs Roth, although she refuses to admit she feels something for Roth. I just want her to get a little more independent, she’s still depending a little too much on Zayne and Roth.
This book features more Zayne, because they – finally – figure out what they feel for each other, and decide to try to make it work. Of course, it’s not exactly easy, considering Layla is still part demon and can take his soul by kissing him.
After a while it got boring and annoying how she was always so anxious about what she is and what she can do. I didn’t like that she was always worrying so much.
Now to the things I liked. Roth. I was a little mad at him because of an incident in the beginning of the book, but this is normal for me. Except for that little incident, I was still as in love with him as I was in White Hot Kiss.
Then we have Bambi. I still love her as much. I honestly don’t know why, I just do. And we saw more of Bambi this time, because she is now Layla’s tattoo.
Zayne was a little better in Stone Cold Touch. He was less boring this time around, and he was in more action scenes. I’m still Team Roth, though. I think that although Layla’s relationship with Roth gets a little more complicated in this book, it’s still far less complicated than her relationship to Zayne. I think that relationship is way too complicated, and besides, although Zayne is her best friend and maybe more – and he is a great best friend – he’s not always there for her, like Roth is. And while Zayne says he’s not bothered by what she is, it is obvious that she can’t really “let loose” and be who she is with him. She always has to be careful around him, and all that, but with Roth, she doesn’t. He doesn’t care about what she is.
So I say thank you to JLA for making this book better, because I really hoped for something more like this.

This. THIS. Esto es lo que quiero de Jennifer L. Armentrout.
Cuando terminé el primer libro de esta trilogía sabía que el segundo iba a ser mucho mejor. La manera en la que se cierran las cosas es en el anterior planteaba la problemática y la trama de este segundo en un punto muy alto y oh boy si fue asi.
Desde el inicio la trama de este se puso muy, muy buena. Hay unos cuantos giros al inicio que son lo que catapultan todo lo que sucede después y déjenme decirles que disfrute muchísimo todo lo que la autora decidió hacer con este libro. Se nos muestra un lado diferente del triangulo amoroso, con el interés que prefiero thank god, y fue toda una montaña rusa leerlo.
Zayne, Stacey y Layla son mis personajes favoritos de toda esta trilogía. Cada uno tiene sus características únicas y son muy completos; tienes un gran desarrollo y no se sienten bidimensionales.
Las dinámicas que tienen entre ellos son de mis aspectos favoritos del libro y me gusto mucho leer cuando cualquiera de los tres estaba en la pagina.
El último 20% de este libro es una bomba total y por mucho lo mejor que tiene todo el libro. Giro tras giro, pelea tras pelea y wow al final todo culmina de una manera impresionante.
Estoy muy emocionado por ver como termina esta trilogía, porque me está gustando mucho.

I absolutely fricken loved this. 11.5 stars.
I will love Roth for the rest of my life.
This is all.

I liked this book more than the first one. Although it was predictable and I pretty much knew the big reveal from at the very most the halfway point it was still fast paced and enjoyable!
The only thing that irks me with this book, as it does with most Jennifer L. Armentrout books is the cheesy dialogue. I really, really can't stand cheesy dialogue and unfortunately this book, and one character in particular is FULL OF IT. I would definitely enjoy this series a whole lot more if the dialogue was a little more believable, natural and less cliched.

I usually don’t care for second or third books in series because they generally fall short from the first book but this one was just as good if not better than the first in the series. Layla annoyed me a bit in the first book but I’m this one she really starts to come into her own. I’m not big on love triangles but I loved both Zayne and Roth and I can see why Layla is torn between her past and her future. JLA really knows how to captivate her audience.
