Tell me why this YA series had me crying like a little bitch at the end? Like no, stop. I don’t need anymore emotional attachments to fictional characters but here we are again days after I finished this series wondering how the characters are doing and praying they’re happy and enjoying life.
Either Jenny knows (obviously look at her track record) how to write characters like the best of them or I need therapy but the reality being it’s equally both.

Okay, loved this series. It reminded me a lot of the crave series, but less annoying on the teeny bopper drama front.... it still had some, but noooothing like the Crave series lol. The worst thing about this series was the fact that he nicknamed her Shorty and then used it... a lot. Overall, this was great! And now I have to loon at the rest of her books to see if there are spinoffs, because I'd love some. :)

I really don't know what to think about this book. I have read the first two books a while ago and I remeber enjoyning them but not this one. Laia coundn't decide who she wants during the whole second book and in the first 30 pages she decided that Roth is THE ONE. Don't get me wrong I was hoping she'll end up with Roth but the descision was just made too early in the book. And Zayne was completly forgotten afterwards.
My favourtie character in the series has always been Roth but he changed drasticly in the last book. He was always the bad boy who has always something cool to say but in the third book he became a softie and I really feeld ashamed for the things he said sometimes.
The book got better at the end when the actual figth (Tbh there wasn't really that much of a fight, really) begun and the whole Layla Roth bed stuff stopped. It was way too much in my opinion. I'm sad to say that it wasn't a good book to end the series.

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.
