Februrary Book Haul!

The Kiss of Deception by Mary E Pearson Book Talk

White Hot Kiss by Jennifer.L. Armentrout Book Talk

I've been desperate to read this trilogy for a while, here's how it went!

Plot: 

This book is about a girl called Layla who is half-demon, half-gargoyle. She has been raised by gargoyles and has been hopelessly in love with Zayne - a gargoyle who treats her like his little sister. Even if he was in love with her they couldn't be together; because of her demon side she could possibly suck out his soul. While on a mission she meets the typically attractive bad-boy demon called Roth, this one she can be with since he has no soul. But would be branded as a traitor if the gargoyles found out. To top it off, she is the sole reason for a violent demon rising that will cause the end of the world.

Things I loved (Spoilers):

• I loved Roth's tattoo snake and the name - Bambi! 
• When Layla realizes that not all demons are pure evil and deserve to be killed.
• Roth's description Hell: "What's it like down there?" "Hot"
• When Roth purposely goes to the cafe because they don't serve Wardens (gargoyles)
• The Demonic Kittens!
• Armentrout's supernatural references is why I love her writing. "See the wonky-doodle banishing spell on the opposite page that was no doubt stolen from an episode of Supernatural."
• The Zayne versus Roth battle. (Team Roth all the way)
• When at the end Bambi became apart of Layla. Bambi is my favourite character from this story if I'm being honest.

Things I didn't like:

• I hated Elijah and his evil spawn. Petr deserved to get his soul taken out, no matter if he was her sibling or not.
• The Alphas are serious assholes, I feel like it's actually the demons that are the good ones compared to them.
• I hated Layla's treatment of Danika, I get she's in love with Zayne, but that has absolutely nothing to do with her.

Talking points for Stone Cold Touch:

• Demons vs Gargoyles. Who are the bad guys in this story? What is The Alpha's role in all this?
• Roth is definitely gone for ever, but how did he escape?
• Who is Layla going to end up with?
• Is the demon uprising going to continue without Naberius? or did he escape too?

Thank you for reading this week's post!
