White Hot Kiss by Jennifer L. Armentrout
5.0

Another perfect novel by Jennifer, & another exciting world to get lost in. I had put off reading this book & starting this series, & now that I’ve read this, I honestly have no idea why. I’ve found that anything she writes, I’m going to love. Jennifer knows just how to create a world, characters & storyline that keeps me hooked & gladly falling in love with. She knows how to get me invested in not only the characters themselves, but what happens to them. Specifically the main characters, but also the other minor stars of the books.

I absolutely love Layla as our leading lady. She is everything you would expect from a teenage girl who struggles to understand herself. I love how she grows throughout this book to being more accepting of her true self. She’s still going to have struggles, but I think she’s grown enough to be able to handle them better now. But of course like all other teenage girls problems, the issue of which guy to choose comes into play. There’s Zayne, her best friend since they were young & Roth, the mysterious bad boy demon, who she clearly has a connection with. As much as I love Zayne & think he’s a fantastic character, I am definitely Team Roth. Perhaps there just wasn’t as much relationship building with Zayne since they were already close, but there’s just more chemistry between Layla & Roth. I love that even given the fact that he’s a demon, it’s clear that Roth would go against everything he’s known for Layla. This is another one of those triangles that I love to hate because I know who I want her to end up with but I also really adore the other guy as well. I can’t wait to see how their relationships progress with all the other things that are bound to happen.

I absolutely fell in love with the world that she’s created in this series. I think it’s a unique take on the characters we’ve met before time & time again. I can’t wait to see what else happens in Stone Cole Touch & Every Last Breath. Jennifer continues to amaze me & further solidify why she’s one of my favorite authors.
