White Hot Kiss

Unpopular opinion, but I just didn't LOVE this one, so I dont think I'll be reading on. The mc was just too much, unrealistically so, and the book was littered with the good ol' love triangle trope that is just not for me. Never been for me. Possibly this one gal's opinion, it seems like a lot of people loved this book. But for me....

“I lost myself the moment I found you.”

JENNIFER YA ME HICISTE DAÑO EN EL PRIMER LIBRO, SEÑORA CALMESE

3,5.
Ha sido muy entretenido y la verdad es que ha tenido varios giros de trama bastante interesantes, quizás si no me hubiese tragado un spoiler importante lo hubiese disfrutado mucho más.

This was such a quick read for me and was easily entertaining, but I'm not sure I'm completely sold on these characters or premise yet - it all felt a little bit too cliche at times.

I actually enjoyed the premises of this book even though I came into it doubting how fun it would be. Don't get me wrong, I found some parts of the book incredibly annoying; Layla (protagonist) seems to not know how attractive she is and every guy in the book seems to have feelings for her, and love triangles are not my favorite thing. But I loved Roth, even though sometimes his behavior bordered on way too intense sometimes. I get the whole bad boy thing, but a lot of the time he was touching her or saying lewd stuff which I don't think would go too well in real life.

It was an entertaining read with all of its faults and something I'd continue.

I loved this book. I loved the characters and how the story ended. I can't wait to see what happens next in this series and i would totally recommend it.

White Hot Kiss by Jennifer L. Armentrout is the beginning of a new series which has already gotten me sucked in like all her other series. Do not judge the book by the cheesy adult romance cover because it has such lovely story inside. I really enjoyed this book because it had that paranormal background mixed with a love triangle. It has a lot of similar themes in the “Half-Blood” series that I could relate to mainly because I still have it freshly on the brain. I cannot wait for the second book and I wish I could get my hands on an ARC.

White Hot Kiss is about a girl named Layla who is part Demon part Warden. She was created and left at the doorstep where she currently lives with a family of Wardens. She has a best friend named Zayne who is also a Warden. Layla is an interesting mix because she has the struggle of not stealing a soul. She can see souls/auras of other people and is able to identify what they are through that source. She can “tag” demons which is her Warden side. She started doing this when she turned 13 and has been doing it since.

One night Layla is out with her two best friends, Stacy and Sam, studying at a local diner where she lives. She notices a demon where she is at and wants to tag him before he gets away. When she is following him after leaving her friends, she realized that he is a higher demon or seeker. She cannot get away from him once he notices her and she gets attacked. Someone comes out of the dark and saves her life. She realized that he is also a demon though and runs away from him. He finds her again at school and this is when we are introduced to the other male lead, Roth.

[WARNING MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS]

Roth is a higher level demon who is up on Earth to watch over Layla. Roth with his sexy tattoos and bad attitude that is attractive. He has tattoos that turn into familiars and helps him out. Mainly his snake Bambi. She doesn't like him at first but her body is reacting to him strangely. She is attracted to him and once they start to get each other, they become friends/more. Roth really caught my heart. I tend to fall for the bad boys in Jennifer L. Armentrout's books and I am hoping she can be with him. Roth and Layla start spending more time together and are tying to make sure the Boss doesn't get to her.

The story has a good amount of twists like most of her books. The readers learn about the Warden and Demon side and how they are both with the uproar that is going on between the two species. The Wardens that have been with her all of her life have been keeping secrets from her and she can only find out the truth through Roth. Layla is a big portion of the story has to do with who she is and what she was created for. Layla finds out that her mother is the Lilith and her father is a Warden that has been in her life but hates her deeply. She has been created to be used by the Demons to have an uproar happen on Earth.

Something happens during the fight with Layla, Roth, and Zayne against a demon that is trying to take Layla away from them to use her against the Wardens. Roth ends up getting somewhat “dead” but is sent to the pits of Hell. It ends with Layla going to get his stuff from his apartment and is given his snake Bambi.
Overall, this book was a good start to the series. I cannot wait for the second book and I hope Roth somehow gets out of the pits of Hell to be around Layla again.
