White Hot Kiss by Jennifer L. Armentrout
5.0
"I lost myself the moment I found you."
*cries hysterically*
Oh Roth.....
I'm such a mess with that ending! Wow! Jennifer Armentrout has done it again! I'm so so in love with her books and this one was obviously no exception. Theres just something about her writing that is just so addicting. I couldn't stop reading this and getting enough of it. It was hard to put down and yes I did lose quite a lot of sleep over this. Don't let the cover or the title of this book fool you. While romance is an intense, fun, and big part of the story...it's really about so so much more. It's about good vs evil and a girl trying to figure out who she is as she takes a step back and goes against everything she was taught to believe in.
It was so different than anything I've ever read in the sense that it include GARGOYLES and DEMONS and they're really really hot gargoyles and demons...
First we have Zayne who is the gargoyle/warden. In my opinion he was okay. He's a nice guy I guess. Honestly I didn't like him all that much through like 90% percent of this book. He was frustrating and his choices towards Layla bothered me.
*dodges plates thrown by Zayne girls*
BUT. BUT. He did get better towards the end of this book. He just bothered me how didn't seem to accept Layla for who she was and he just seemed judgmental but that might have been because of his father who was an absolute asshole Really most of the wardens annoyed me.
I did find myself enjoying the FRIENDSHIP that him and Layla had and I'm interested to see where it goes it better not go ANYWHERE
Then we have Roth who is a new boyfriend of mine as well as a FUNNY AND REALLY SEXY DEMON. Daemon Black, watch out! This guy is snarky, intense, seductive, insanely gorgeous and does all the right things.. And can you tell which side I'm on?
TEAM ROTH FOREVER.
my poor baby broke my heart with that ending
I'm such a mess!
Ahhhhhh!!!
HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH LAYLA WAS BEAUTIFUL. I WILL GO DOWN WITH THIS SHIP. I AM READY TO FIGHT PEOPLE ON THIS. I STAND VERY FIRM ON THIS SHIP.
He was so SWEET towards her and PROTECTIVE in just the right way and so strong and he believed in her and encouraged her to accept herself.
My sense went into overload, firing in every direction. The kiss-it was everything I could've imagined a kiss to be and then some. Sublime. Explosive. My heart fluttered wildly, from yearning so deep, darts of fear shot through my veins.
"See," he murmured in a thick voice and he let go, his fingers trailing over my cheeks. "Your life isn't about all you can't do. It's about what you can do."
But then...
"Your tongue is pierced," I said dumbly.
A wicked gleam filled his gaze. "That's not the only thing pierced."
Ahhhh
Not to mention there was so much sexual tension. My God. It was practically oozing right off the page.
"When he kissed me again, it was that deep scorching kind of kiss that pushed me to the edge of the cliff. I was ready to jump off headfirst, to finally feel everything I'd always believed to be denied to me.
My fingers dug into the smooth skin of his biceps as his free hand trailed down my stomach, fingers circling my belly buttons and then lower, under the band of my jeans."
JUST TAKE ME NOW ROTH
But yeah there was ALOT OF SEXUAL TENSION IN THIS BOOK. Here's another one of my favorites:
"It's okay," he whispered against the corner of my lip. "This is about you. Yeah, this is totally about you." He sounded surprised by his own words and when he spoke again, his voice was hoarse as he presses his forehead against mine. "You undo me. You have no idea how you undo me."
Are you swooning yet?
He was also arrogant in the really hot hilarious way of his...
" At some point, Roth had gotten hold of my cell and replaced Zaynes name with Stony and listed his own number under Sexy Beast. What a tool."
I was dying of laughter at some of the things he'd say. Oh man he's so great.
But anyway this story was also a lot about acceptance. Layla is half warden and half demon but she was raised by wardens so she just always thought demons were all bad. But then Roth comes along and opens her eyes to the demon side of her and eventually she learns to accept who she is.
"People with the purest souls are capable of the greatest evils."
It really challenges the question, what really is good and evil? And where's the line between it?
Honestly this was a fantastic story all around and my heart was broken from the ending. The action in this book left me breathless and the ending was painful in that heart wrenching sorta way. It did have a kind of Supernatural feel to it with all the demons and stuff so I definitely feel that fans of that show will devour this book.
So yes I'm off to go plow my way through Stone Cold Touch because WE CANT END IT THERE. Just, NO. And the plot twists throughout the story left me mind blown. Jennifer Armentrout has sucked me into another one of her exciting worlds and I can't wait to see where it goes.....
I'm also very nervous because I am VERY attached so a specific person who is NOT on the cover of the next book....
"You need something," he said, and when I stared at him, he added, "Your face."
"My face?"
"It's in need of my kisses."
ROTH!
