Stone Cold Touch by Jennifer L. Armentrout

I can always count of Jennifer Armentrout to always provide some fantastic paranormal romance reads with some swoony guys and this series was no different. I loved both guys – Zayne and Roth – and thought that both were fantastic choices. Though, to be fair, I would probably lean more towards Roth because of that bad boy vibes. But more importantly though, I loved the banter between the two of them and would have totally thought it would have been more twisty if they got together rather than with Layla.
However, my only issue in this book was Layla herself. I don’t know how to say this politely but she seemed like a very dumb person. There were so many times when it was so obvious that things were going one way or why things were happening the way they were and she wouldn’t get it. Even when it was clearly spelled out especially in the last book. There was one scene (no spoilers!) where someone explained something and somehow she only interpreted that one way and not fully so when it happened, she was like “no one told me this”. Um, hello, they did. You were just stupid and didn’t get it.
Thankfully, the rest of the book was addicting. I really enjoyed the plot (except for when Layla was being dumb) and liked the whole Warden versus demons and finding out the origin of the Wardens. Another favorite of mine were the side characters specifically Bambi. I loved Bambi so much as well as Layla’s friends. But Bambi especially was so endearing to me and I loved how sassy she was.
Overall, I enjoyed the series – just not Layla.
