This week I am waiting on...

White Hot Kiss
(The Dark Elements #1) 
By: Jennifer L. Armentrout
Publisher:  Harlequin Teen
Release Date: February 25th, 2014

I have a confession to make.  I have yet to read a Jennifer Armentrout novel.  Now...don't throw her books at me!!  It is true that I have yet to discover her popular Covenant and Lux series despite all the praise and acclaim.  But I jumped at the chance to review this series here.

The Dark Elements introduces something I have never really read about before...Gargoyles!  I can anticipate this being a unique new paranormal story.  Mix in some mature YA romance and angst and I am there!

I'm looking forward to this new title!

Synopsis on Goodreads:

 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.
