About this series
Some loves will last 'til your dying breath...
Every choice has consequences — but seventeen-year-old Layla faces tougher choices than most. Light or darkness. Wickedly sexy demon prince Roth, or Zayne, the gorgeous, protective Warden she never thought could be hers. Hardest of all, Layla has to decide which side of herself to trust.
Layla has a new problem, too. A Lilin — the deadliest of demons — has been unleashed, wreaking havoc on those around her...including her best friend. To keep Sam from a fate much, much worse than death, Layla must strike a deal with the enemy while saving her city — and her race — from destruction.
Torn between two worlds and two different boys, Layla has no certainties, least of all survival, especially when an old bargain comes back to haunt them all. But sometimes, when secrets are everywhere and the truth seems unknowable, you have to listen to your heart, pick a side — and then fight like hell...

- Bitter Sweet Love
1
In a sizzling prequel novella to her new series The Dark Elements, No.1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout draws readers into the extraordinary, irresistible world of Wardens and demons. Dez wasn't just Jasmine's crush. A gargoyle Warden like Jas, he helped her come to terms with her destiny – fending off demons and maintaining the balance between good and evil. He was her everything…right until the moment he disappeared without a trace. It didn't help that Jas's father had just announced that she and Dez would one day be mated. Hard not to take that personally. And now he's back, three years older, ten times hotter, ready to pick up exactly where they left off. But Jas isn't taking that risk again. Dez has seven days to meet all her conditions and earn back her trust. Seven days filled with terrifying danger and sweet temptation. Seven days to win her heart – or shatter it all over again…
- White Hot Kiss
2
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.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It had a slow start, a lot of world building though it's understandable. It's a new world (sorta) and it was a different style of story then i was used to, very personal. I loved the casual way the book was written even the non dialogue part it was like experiencing the book from the characters perspective not everyone thinks in big words especially a sheltered character like Layla. Most of the book didn't feel like a romance and that made me love it even more because the story behind it was just as captivating. This book is way too underrated and i'm so excited to finish the series.
