Series: The Dark Elements #1
Genre: Paranormal, Romance
Release Date: February 25, 2014
Summary: One kiss could be the last. Seventeen-year-old Layla just wants to be normal. But with a kiss that kills anything with a soul, she's anything but normal. Half demon, half gargoyle, Layla has abilities no one else possesses. Raised among the Wardens—a race of gargoyles tasked with hunting demons and keeping humanity safe—Layla tries to fit in, but that means hiding her own dark side from those she loves the most. Especially Zayne, the swoon-worthy, incredibly gorgeous and completely off-limits Warden she's crushed on since forever. Then she meets Roth—a tattooed, sinfully hot demon who claims to know all her secrets. Layla knows she should stay away, but she's not sure she wants to—especially when that whole no-kissing thing isn't an issue, considering Roth has no soul. But when Layla discovers she's the reason for the violent demon uprising, trusting Roth could not only ruin her chances with Zayne… it could brand her a traitor to her family. Worse yet, it could become a one-way ticket to the end of the world.
Review: Since I just put up my review of Stone Cold Touch I figured I'd better put up my review of White Hot Kiss. If you've read any other books by Jennifer L. Armentrout and enjoyed them, I think you will enjoy this fantastic read....or at least I hope you do. This book had everything; romance, adventure, gargoyles, demons, amazingly well written and developed characters; the complete package. I really enjoyed the story and I absolutely adored the main character, Layla. She was spunky, sarcastic, lovable, quick-minded, witty, and had some amazing one liners (including, but definitely not limited to: "Double crap on a cracker the size of my butt." hahahaha it get's me every time!!) We also have Zayne, the incredibly good looking, unattainable, overprotective, brotherly type Warden (gargoyle) that Layla's been crushing on since the beginning of forever. I liked Zayne, and then I didn't, and then I did, and then I didn't. I could never decide if I actually wanted something to happen between him and Layla or if I wanted them to keep their distance and their not-really-there relationship. Enter Roth! As Armentrout would describe someone of indescribable hotness in her other books, "holy daemon *pronounced demon* babies!!" Roth was amazing! Since he is first introduced (within the first 5 chapters) I secretly rooted for him . . . even though it took Layla some time to come over to my side. Ugh! And that ending!!! (I won't spoil it but it left me rooting for Roth even more than I already was as well as completely breathless, and desperately wanting Stone Cold Touch). This was an amazing read and one I have already come back to. Armentrout has an amazing way with words and I have yet to be disappointed with her writing. It's also a huge plus that she (Armentrout) can crank out books like nobody's buisness!!)
