    Armentrout come the first two installments of the epic Dark Elements series, together in one keepsake collection  White Hot Kiss  Seventeen-year-old Layla Shaw just wants to be normal—but as a half demon, half gargoyle, she's anything but. Even her longtime crush, Zayne, part of the race of gargoyles that protects the world against demons, isn't safe from her soul-killing kiss. Then she meets Roth, a tattooed, sinfully hot demon who claims to know her secrets. Trusting him could ruin her chances with Zayne—and brand her a traitor to her family. But as Layla discovers she's the reason for a violent demon uprising, kissing the enemy suddenly pales in comparison to the looming end of the world.  Stone Cold Touch  Layla is trying to pick up the pieces of her shattered life—but with Zayne off-limits, her family keeping dangerous secrets and Roth beyond her reach, she's pretty sure things can't get worse. When Layla's powers begin to evolve, she's offered a tantalizing taste of the forbidden. Then, when she least expects it, Roth returns, bringing news that could change her world forever. She's finally getting what she always wanted, but the price may be higher than Layla is willing to pay…

I believe that some explanation is necessary in every novel.Though I hope that there will be more funny chapters. How a chapter turns out always depends on my mood.

    Or at least that's how Zoey Morgan saw it. As a witch old enough to know better, yet too sexy for any man to resist, she was tired of running. From her past. From the pain.

That was until an ex-military wolf-shifter crossed her path. But to say Ryan Taylor was a jaded breed of his own would be quite the understatement. It seemed his past, too, was riddled with enough cynicism to make trusting a gal like Zoey a difficult feat.
