Stone Cold Touch (#2 Dark Elements)
Summary: Layla is back at school and convinced that the Lilin race has not been created and Roth is out there. The only thing that keeps her at rest is Zayne. Zayne is her protector and as the story moves on they become more as Layla battle between being herself with Roth or being sheltered by Zayne. And between all of that, find Lilin.
Thoughts: This story being mainly about Layla getting closer to Zayne was stunning. I thought Zayne was some type of monk that always said the right thing at the right time, but he is far from it. He made Layla feel like she belonged once again, and eventually they touched and kissed all page long (sorry for spoiler, but it annoyed me).
Zayne is too nice for Layla; he keeps chasing after this low self esteem succubus(which are naturally hot) who could take his pure soul and make him a freaking hybrid gargoyle with red eyes, and so on and so for. Then, then... every time she was with Zayne she was like: oh Roth; funny how they are so similar, and I need to stop thinking about Roth. But eventually she ended up in Roth’s bed over and over again. You feel my drift? Layla does not need to be messing with Zayne’s emotions and Roth... please, what emotions?.
Roth is still amazing even though he was lying and believe me, I know he was lying about how he felt about Layla. I wanted Astaroth to stay in the book the whole time, even though Layla kept pushing him away, Gosh, I just wanted him to turn her bad but no, “you make me want to be good.” Just obsess over her like Paimon obsessed about Litith, that would be more interesting.But in books where the main character wants to be the hero, you cant turn them bad:(
I guess, I’m just trying to tell you that I HATE Layla like the Grinch hate Christmas. The book was predictable, I guess because she was always around Zayne who is a predictable person, but for the love Bambi, Layla needs to get her -ish together.
And Sam.... Sam was the weakest link and if you ever read any sci-fi novels you know when someone becomes sexy, something is wrong with them. This is depressing because in real life if something is wrong with you, you look like death, and then you die. Characters in books, they resemble a dark beauty and lust after everything, and Sam got the look. I knew it was something cold hearted going on with him, but I think he will soon be my favorite character.
Anyways I would like to say Roth made everything better and I am ready to read Every Last Breath.
And I’m telling you, Layla and Roth are going to be together(Team Roth!)
3/5
