White Hot Kiss
by Jennifer L. Armentrout
ghghahsjdhdh I want me a Roth please and thank you.
1st time reading JLA and I'm honestly surprised by how much I enjoyed this? I was fully prepared for this to be another trashy smutty book with a dash of paranormal that I could secretly feast on over one weekend in my cave of snacks and guilt, but I genuinely found this very entertaining and funny. Coming out of a pretty heavy historical fiction magical realism book ([b:Before the Devil Breaks You|25985241|Before the Devil Breaks You (The Diviners, #3)|Libba Bray|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1498737891l/25985241._SY75_.jpg|45897241]), this was such a light and quick read, both funny and a lil bit steamy (which I am not opposed to).
Some of the discussions were a bit problematic and a bit yikes to read (i.e. slut-shaming, casual ableism), however I do realise these was written in 2014 when it (perhaps) wasn't as widely acceptable to be using these sorts of language in conversation. Also: I can't be the only person, kinda sorta very creeped out by how pushy Stacey was when it came to knowing everything about Layla and Roth's relationship - even for best friends, she came on very strong and not in a good way.
For the most part, I found Layla quite an irritating main character and I didn't particularly like her. That being said, I enjoyed seeing how she matured over the course of the book and came to accept the demonic part of her identity and that perhaps demons weren't all bad. I remain undecided on Zayne, though I can appreciate how much he has also grown.
Roth, Roth, Roth. Where do I begin? Perhaps the sweetest, most attractive, funniest demon prince I've had the pleasure of reading about.
"Astaroth is a very powerful demon of the First Hierarchy, who seduces by means of laziness, vanity and rationalized philosphies." Truly a man after my whole heart.
From his teasing nature, to his disney-named tattoos!!! that !! come!!! to !!!! life!!!! (side note: I would lay down my life for Bambi and the kittens) I quite literally fell in love with him.
His golden eyes met mine. "Free will, huh? Damn. It is a bitch." And then he smiled-he smiled-at me, a real smile, revealing those deep dimples. "I lost myself the moment I found you."
-Like, are you kidding me???
3 stars, this was good! Give me more Roth please.
