White Hot Kiss
by Jennifer L. Armentrout
“People with the purest souls are capable of the greatest evil. No one is perfect, no matter what they are or what side they fight for.”
Layla is half demon, half gargoyle, or as they are called in this series, Wardens. This means that she’s never really fit in anywhere because the other Wardens don’t completely trust her and her friends have no idea what she is. Not to mention the fact that she can’t get too close, let alone intimate with anyone without the risk of taking their soul. Layla makes the best out of her life and Zayne, a Warden and friend (who Layla has been in love with for years) helps with that, but that doesn’t mean that deep down she isn’t lonely. Enter Roth, also known as Astaroth, a crown prince of Hell. Layla can be around and close to him without having to worry about taking his soul. You know, because he doesn’t actually have one. His presence also helps to ease the cravings she has for souls. You know what that means. It’s time for a love triangle!
I know a lot of people don’t like books with love triangles, but they don’t really bother me. There is usually one character that I prefer above the other and I’ve always been lucky enough that the love triangle has worked out that way that I want it to. This book is really no different. While I like both Zayne and Roth, I gravitate toward Roth and really feel that he is the better guy for Layla. Mainly because while Zayne has known Layla for a long time, there is still a part of her that he doesn’t accept, while Roth accepts her for exactly who and what she is. For me, that’s alway the most important thing. I think it also has something to do with how much I absolutely love Roth. I always forget how much he makes laugh in this book until I reread it, and then I fall in love with him all over again. Don’t get me wrong, I like Zayne, I just don’t love him, at least not in this series. (Yes, that opinion changes in The Harbinger series, but that’s not what we’re talking about here.)
I just love this book so much. I don’t care how many times I read it, it still gets to me every time. It always makes me laugh and the end always makes me cry, even though I know what happens and how the series ultimately ends. Jennifer Armentrout just has that ability, and I love her for it.
“I lost myself the moment I found you.”
