ARC Review: White Hot Kiss by Jennifer L. Armentrout

WHITE HOT KISS possesses everything that readers love about Jennifer L. Armentrout. Suspense-driven action, hot heroes and an intrepid heroine have all made into this book, so I’m sure there is lots to love about this series already.~ Under the Covers

In the first full length book of The Dark Elements series, Jennifer L. Armentrout brings together demons and gargoyles – an enticing mix for sure as I have never seen anything like it yet! As Wardens, this race of gargoyles are tasked with protecting the humans from evil.

Seventeen year old Layla is caught between two men – Zayne, a Warden whom she has burned for forever and Roth, a cocky demon who seems to know everything there is to know about Layla. Oh, and there’s also the fact that Layla may be the reason for a demon uprising. So you can say that Layla has her hands full juggling that one!

WHITE HOT KISS possesses everything that readers love about Jennifer L. Armentrout. Suspense-driven action, hot heroes and an intrepid heroine have all made into this book, so I’m sure there is lots to love about this series already.

However, as an avid reader and a big fan of Armentrout’s writing, I found that Layla’s character seemed too similar to Armentrout’s other YA heroines. If I didn’t know any better, I would say that they were essentially the same person just placed in a different world. Now, I know that isn’t a real reason to complain because if you liked her other series, then I’m sure you’ll find much to love about this one, but in terms of starting fresh with a new idea and a new world, I was also looking for a change in personality in terms of Layla.

Again, the same goes with her heroes. Hot and charming, Armentrout knows just how to write fun and sexy heroes, but as for the love triangle, I am heavily leaning to one side and will wait until the next book to really decide which team I am on. I think it’s very difficult to pull of the love triangle so I’m curious to see how Armentrout will play this one out.

If you love Armentrout’s YA series, then The Dark Elements series is sure to be a hit! With a vast new world to explore, Armentrout will surely allow her imagination to flew with this demon/gargoyle hybrid world!

Note: The exclusive excerpt at the end of the novel will only be available in the print edition, not the ebook.
