4.04 AVERAGE


I liked it, but I didn't love it. I wanted to, but at times I thought it was a bit long.

I loved getting the little glimpses of Jasmine from the first story, but at the same time, I didn't feel like her appearance with Danika really added anything into this story. I didn't get the drama. I also wasn't overly fond of Stacey, but maybe some more of her to see more of Layla's human side?

The love triangle? I guess I didn't see it quite as much. I really did want less action devoted to that, and some more of the gargoyles. That is the aspect that originally drew me in to this series, because it was original, and I wanted to see more of that. I'll read the next one, because I want to know what happens to Roth. I liked him far more than Zayne.

In all honesty this book started a little slow for me. It wasn’t until about half way through when I started to get really interested in what was going on. As usual with any Jennifer Armentrout series I find myself grabbing for the next book in the series immediately after finishing the first!

~ Okay. Hold on. I’m SHOCKED by how much I actually liked this?! Not that I thought it would be bad but I’ve only ever read her FBAA series (and prequels) so I wasn’t sure if everything would be my taste. I really loved every single nostalgic YA vibe this book had yet it was still uniquely interesting in its own way!

Thank you to the hive and the author!

Love me some JLA!!

This woman is a genius. This book was my first gargoyle story, it was actually interesting and fun. I really enjoyed the story and I haven’t really read anything like it before. I’m also not a fan of urban fantasy but this was fantastic.

I loved the MC, and the rest of the crew. There was a little bit of a triangle, but it wasn’t bad at all, I actually really liked it.

Very excited for the next one!!

This book series was my personality when I was 15…

Read it in 3 hours tops. Probably less. SO AMAZING!!!!

Read for the nostalgia of phrases like “crap on a cracker.”

Parts of this were really good. Other parts just didnt do it for me so 3 stars.

I love the gargoyles as paranormal creature things and thought the paranormal aspects were done well.
I didn't love Layla's friend Stacy and her you're obviously interested in that guy and I'm going to hit on him 'cause he's hot kind of attitude. I just found her character annoying in general though.
For the whole love triangle thing, Zayne needs more for me he was just okay. I did love a lot of things about Roth he makes for an interesting love interest and demon. But it isn't a poorly done triangle.
Layla is an alright MC. She follows the typical oh so special format. Being a rare half-breed makes her this way not what she does or how she acts.

Overall, its pretty average but good enough to continue.
