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. Then she meets Roth-a tattooed, sinfully hot demon who claims to know all her secrets. Especially Zayne, the swoon-worthy, incredibly gorgeous and completely off-limits Warden she's crushed on since forever. 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. Half demon, half gargoyle, Layla has abilities no one else possesses. But with a kiss that kills anything with a soul, she's anything but normal. Even knowing how it ends, thanks to me not paying attention to which book to start first, I can't wait to see how we get there.NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!One kiss could be the last Seventeen-year-old Layla just wants to be normal. It's not that one is better than the other. I think it's obvious who she is meant to be with (and I am not just saying that because I accidentally started reading the Harbinger series first, a spin-off of this one, and already know).

There's the romance aspect of the story, which I loved just as much. No matter what blood runs through your veins, or how you are raised, you can choose to be the person you want to be. Just like being a Warden doesn't make you good. Until Roth comes along, and shows her that being a demon doesn't mean you are evil. We have Layla, trying to ignore her demon side, and doing everything she can to make her adopted family, and especially Zayne, proud of her and see her as a Warden.

It's a supernatural book, but there are a lot of different things going on in it. I loved this book! Layla is a breath of fresh air in the world of young adult characters.
