I can’t wait to read the next book in the series! Read more I enjoy the creative world, engaging characters, and well done action scenes. However, the story is fun and I plan on continuing with the series.I am happy that this series got some new book covers, the old ones were not very representative of the story and looked more like straight-up romance covers.Overall this was a fun YA urban fantasy read with a lot of action and some romance. I am not huge on the love triangle thing going on between Roth, Layla, and Zayne (especially since I already know how things turn out from reading “Storm and Fury”). I also enjoyed the whole “trying to prevent Armageddon” plotline.The story is fast paced and easy to read. I really love the shapeshifting gargoyles and demons.

Now the end of the world might be looming and Layla needs to figure out who to trust.There's a lot of action here, a neat world, and some romance. Then Roth enters the picture, he seems to be trying to protect Layla but is a demon himself. For years Zayne has been her friend and guardian, but when demons start actively hunting Layla things start to shift. The Wardens have been using her unique ability to see souls to have her tag demons which the Wardens then hunt down and destroy. While I didn't enjoy it quite as much as Storm and Fury, I am enjoying learning the background of the characters from that book (Roth, Layla, Zayne).Layla is unique because of her half Warden, half demon heritage. This was a fun YA urban fantasy read (although I struggled to get around the awful cover, I was happy to see the cover has been redone recently). This is the first book in The Dark Elements series.
