I have to start off by saying that I loved this book! It seems like it just might be a love triangle, but it's so much more than that! Layla is a half Warden and half Demon. Layla sides with the Wardens and tries to help them as much as possible. The Warden's try to take down demons and other nasty creatures. They are also gargoyles. Layla was practically taught to hate the Demon side of herself. She feels like she owes the Wardens since Abbot (who is one) took her in and cared for her. Layla has a complicated relationship with Abbot's son Zayne. Zayne is her bestest friend, but she clearly likes him as more than that. But she knows she can't be with Zayne because of who she is. And there's a possibility that Zayne likes her as well. Honestly, I didn't really like Zayne until near the end of this book. He didn't act like a friend to Layla to me at times. He treated her like a child when she actually proved many times that she can take care of herself. And when she trusted Zayne with a secret he went behind Layla's back and told his father Abbot. When Layla meets the confident and intriguing Demon Roth her world is thrown through a loop of what she thought she knew. Through Roth he teaches her that not everything is so black and white in their world. Although Roth irritates Layla with his flirting he was the most helpful and loyal person to her. He could've easily betrayed Layla, he could've been selfish and taken everything for himself. Roth was literally the Prince of Darkness next in line for the crown. He risked everything to save Layla constantly and he was always there for her. He even told her the truth about her mother that everyone else kept from her. Layla and Roth made a wonderful team. Roth loves everything about Layla and is very supportive of her. He even thinks Layla's fighting skills are hot! There's nothing about her that he doesn't like while Zayne bitches about her. I'm definitely Team Roth clearly. After learning some truths about the Warden/Demon worlds through Roth, Layla isn't certain if she can trust the people who've been taking care of her. Especially, when she finds out that they knew who her parents were the whole time! This leads Layla into trusting Roth and helping him to find a certain something that a lot of the Wardens and Demons have been looking for. Some trouble brews once Abbot, Zayne, and a few of the Wardens that like Layla find out what she's been up to. But Layla remains loyal to Roth. When Abbot demands the name of Roth in order to summon him, Layla refuses. These two are fiercely loyal to each other so I hope they do end up as a couple. They kind of were, but there wasn't any labels. They are pretty perfect for each other. The end of this book was heartbreaking for a certain character. But I really don't think that they're just gone. Layla knows this too and I know she's going to figure out a way to get this person back. Also, as weird as it was I liked Layla's relationship with her friends Stacy and Sam. Layla would have to ditch them to hunt down demons. Stacy and Sam don't know about this part of Layla's life. But regardless, they barely question her and just forgive her. They could've ditched her back and unfriended Layla, but they stuck with her. And Layla even pushes Stacy on the right tracks and gives her great advice! Sam is a weird one who just states random facts everyday, but Layla and Stacy accept that part of him. I love the weird trio friendship they have. It's a nice change to see in books. Honestly, I was putting this off because I wasn't sure if I'd like it. I love Armentrout's The Problem With Forever and of course this book is very different from that. But I loved this and can't wait to continue this series. This gets 5 stars from me!
