I don't believe I can say a whole lot more than I already did in my re-reviews for White Hot Kiss and Stone Cold Touch but I will stay this was the book I retained the least information on as the years have passed.
I was not joking when I said in my review for Stone Cold Touch that this book's plot is basically that Layla and Roth faff about for 300 pages before it's time for Layla to defeat the Lilin before she and Roth fly into the sunset. I wouldn't call it a wholly bad book, as it's still way fun, but it definitely lacks almost all of the structure that's present in its priors.
On the whole, this book just feels like Armentrout got the results of the vote, made it so Roth would end up with Layla, and then wasn't sure what to do with herself in terms of a big finale, so...so she didn't. She didn't write a big finale.
And that's perfectly fine in my book. I would rather a writer just write what they want rather than try to force tension because it's the end, at least in this particular situation. As this series was far more about Layla discovering herself and her love for two different guys, it's far more fun and fitting that the book makes stopping the apocalypse a bit of an afterthought in the end.
It's weird, it's unstructured, but it's fun and it has Roth and that is still apparently good enough for me to rate a book 5/5, even in 2020, when I've read at least 300 books between reads one and two.

Well, let's just say I love myself a little less now that I've read and liked this whole series. It's junk food and I eat that shit up. It's cut from the same cloth as the likes of Twilight, Hush Hush, and friends and that's not always a bad thing. Sometimes it's fun to read garbage and be a garbage person and this was one of those times.

I love these books and I'm marking them up to 5's. The end.

I should not be surprised anymore by the awesomeness that JLA writes. This finally book in the series is not any different. It was stuffed full with emotions, action, some major twists’ all topped off without sweet swoon worthy romance.
To not to spoil it for those who have not read it yet, I will not discuss Roth and or Zayne much or Layla’s relationship to them in this book.
We get to find out pretty early in the book, who she chose. I loved that, because we get to see them as couple throughout the book and how they handle certain things together. I also loved that Layla didn’t make a huge deal out of it and makes it clear that it always has been him and explains why.
She gets her very own familiar I this book. I absolutely loved these I twist with the familiar, how much more there is to them.
