White Hot Kiss (The Dark Elements #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Synopsis:
One kiss could be the last 

Seventeen-year-old Layla just wants to be normal. But with a kiss that kills anything with a soul, she's anything but normal. Half demon, half gargoyle, Layla has abilities no one else possesses. 

Raised among the Wardens—a race of gargoyles tasked with hunting demons and keeping humanity safe—Layla tries to fit in, but that means hiding her own dark side from those she loves the most. Especially Zayne, the swoon-worthy, incredibly gorgeous and completely off-limits Warden she's crushed on since forever. 

Then she meets Roth—a tattooed, sinfully hot demon who claims to know all her secrets. Layla knows she should stay away, but she's not sure she wants to—especially when that whole no-kissing thing isn't an issue, considering Roth has no soul. 

But when Layla discovers she's the reason for the violent demon uprising, trusting Roth could not only ruin her chances with Zayne…it could brand her a traitor to her family. Worse yet, it could become a one-way ticket to the end of the world.

My Rating

4.5/5

Gosh! Another great amazing book by Jennifer L. Armentrout. To think I would have never even got this book if it wasn't for who wrote it. I'm so glad I read this book. So amazing. The plot was filled with such great surprises. Most you couldn't even see coming. The love Triangle is interesting for sure and it will be weird to see where that is going. Hopefully it won't be to horrible, i'm not big on love triangles. 
Layla is a interesting character who is pretty kick ass and trying to be a more of a Warden at the beginning of the book. Only the Wardens know who she is and what she can do so she can't even tell her best friends. What a secret to be able to keep like that. 
Roth. Now smoking hot demon who starts hanging around Layla. Those two are together are so awesome. 
Zayne a Warden. Also who Layla is in love with but can't be with because she would take his soul. I like Zayne he is really protective over Layla. Though he does mess up way to much and he does kind of hurt Layla a bit. 
I don't know which character I want her to end up with because ummm well both are just so awesome. 
Can't wait to see how the rest of the books come out and are like. 

JENNIFER L. ARMENTROUT is one of the best authors I think. I haven't found a single book of hers i haven't loved yet.

Ignite Me (Shatter Me #3) by Tahereh Mafi

Synopsis:
The heart-stopping conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Shatter Me series, which Ransom Riggs, bestselling author of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, called “a thrilling, high-stakes saga of self-discovery and forbidden love.”

With Omega Point destroyed, Juliette doesn’t know if the rebels, her friends, or even Adam are alive. But that won’t keep her from trying to take down The Reestablishment once and for all. Now she must rely on Warner, the handsome commander of Sector 45. The one person she never thought she could trust. The same person who saved her life. He promises to help Juliette master her powers and save their dying world . . . but that’s not all he wants with her.

The Shatter Me series is perfect for fans who crave action-packed young adult novels with tantalizing romance like Divergent by Veronica Roth, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, and Legend by Marie Lu. Tahereh Mafi has created a captivating and original story that combines the best of dystopian and paranormal, and was praised by Publishers Weekly as “a gripping read from an author who’s not afraid to take risks.” Now this final book brings the series to a shocking and satisfying end.

My Rating

-3/5-

Most of this book was a lot of arguments and fights. Like lots of bickering. Don't get me wrong it was very entertaining. Funny and everything else but i was 260 pages in I think and all that had happened more or less was just a bunch of fighting. Though after all that passed and the story got going it really went going nicely. We have training and a big battle. Even though all that stuff was short and didn't tale up a lot of the story, it was understandable why cause there is not really any reason it should have taken the whole story. 
Warner is pretty weird when he takes honestly but it's so human like how he rambles on and on and on. Other characters are like that too how they talk and what they say seems so realistic instead of saying the right thing like most book characters do all the time. These characters say really realistic things. It was really nice. To be honest a nice change and I loved that. 
The ending was open ended. Not a lot where you couldn't have figured out what will most likely happen next, but open ended enough were you want to know what could happen next. So that was interesting.
All in all I really liked this book but I don't know all the arguing and how much of that took up the story made me rate it only a 3/5.


Spoilers:
Now first off the battle at the end. Juliette was so kick-ass she just got in and out in no time flat. While in most books that would be highly unrealistic. In this book it wasn't because Juliette has this amazing power that makes her so unstoppable so it really works out.Now the love interests. I'm glad that Juliette ended up with Warner instead of Adam. Adam wanted a sweet quite girl who needed to be protected from the world and while that might have been Juliette at the beginning of the series it wasn't her at all. Also Juliette was really with him because he was the first person to be nice to her. So yeah she did love him just not in a way that was really meant to last. Also Adam did discourage her a lot. Warner was way different from the very beginning he seen so much in Juliette he pushed her and made her become the best her she could be he really believed in her and understood her. It was really a beautiful thing there. Juliette you could also tell really feel for Warner too. Warner may have been this horrible person at first look but with her he let himself really show who he was and you see how amazing Warner really is under all the things he has been through. So I really love Warner and Juliette together. I mean I was team Warner from the beginning but there is really reasons for this love. I think the last thing now. Warner finding out Adam is his brother. So Warner and Adam hate each other so freaking much and have even tried to kill each other before. But once Warner finds out Adam is his brother, he doesn't hate Adam really because Adam had to go through the same things Warner had to go through so how could he hate Adam? That was really beautiful and I loved that there. :) Warner really is a great guy it's amazing. Now im not saying Adam isn't a great guy they are just great amazing guys in different ways. Like how Adam is more for his brother and friends. While Warner is more for Juliette and what not. So yeah both great. That's all I have to say I believe.

Panic by Lauren Oliver

Synopsis:

Panic began as so many things do in Carp, a dead-end town of 12,000 people in the middle of nowhere: because it was summer, and there was nothing else to do.

Heather never thought she would compete in Panic, a legendary game played by graduating seniors, where the stakes are high and the payoff is even higher. She’d never thought of herself as fearless, the kind of person who would fight to stand out. But when she finds something, and someone, to fight for, she will discover that she is braver than she ever thought.

Dodge has never been afraid of Panic. His secret will fuel him, and get him all the way through the game, he’s sure of it. But what he doesn't know is that he’s not the only one with a secret. Everyone has something to play for.

For Heather and Dodge, the game will bring new alliances, unexpected revelations, and the possibility of first love for each of them—and the knowledge that sometimes the very things we fear are those we need the most.

My Rating 

-3/5-

Reading the synopsis of this book I thought it would be kind of like Nerve by Jeanne Ryan. While both have big challenges, Panic was different.
If someone plays Panic and win they get $50,000 to $67,000 so most people are in it for the money. The problem with Panic is people have died from it in the past. Also people have gotten seriously hurt, but yet the graduated class plays anyways. There is lots of cool challenges that happen even if they aren't that big or scary, some of them are pretty bad. Also you have to be careful who your friends are you never know who is hiding secrets. 

Dodge and Heather are both fighting to win the game for someone they love, and on top of that they fall in love with someone. Dodge and Heather are different though in the game for different reasons and are different people who handle things differently. The double point of view was cool and worked nicely for this book.
The thing I disliked about this book the most was it wasn't very exciting. It was a lot more boring then I expected it to be which was pretty sad. Also you could see most everything that was coming next so that made it a bit more boring too. I wish this book was more exciting I really do but other then that, it was a good book.
