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.
Excerpt
“I don’t think of Zayne that
way!”
She laughed. “What man-parts-loving
female in this world doesn’t think of Zayne that
way? I can barely keep myself breathing when I see him. All
the guys in school have squishy
waists. I can tell Zayne doesn’t. He’s the awesome sauce
with extra sauce.”
That he was and he so didn’t have a
squishy waist, but I tuned Stacey out at that point. I
really did need to cram for this test and I also didn’t want
my fantasies involving Zayne to
occupy my mind right now. Especially after I’d woken up this
morning, carefully tucked under
the covers. The bed had smelled like him: sandalwood and
crisp linen.
“Oh, sweet baby Jesus in a manger,”
Stacey murmured.
I clenched my jaw, cupping my hands
over my ears.
She jabbed me in the side with her
elbow. At this rate I’d be covered in bruises before
lunchtime. “Our bio class just got a billion times more
interesting. And hotter, lots and lots
hotter. Holy mother, I want to have his babies. Not now of
course, but definitely later. But I’d
like to start practicing soon.”
The cell wall is a thick and rigid
layer covering the plasma something, something plant
cells…
Stacey stiffened all of a sudden.
“Oh my God, he’s coming—”
Composed of fat and sugar—
Something slender and shiny fell
from who knew where, landing in the middle of Sam’s
notes. Blinking tightly, it took me a couple of seconds to
recognize the faded and half peeled
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sticker covering the back of
the silver cell phone.
My heart slammed against my ribs.
Gripping the edges of the notebook, I slowly lifted
my gaze. Unnaturally beautiful golden eyes met mine.
“You forgot this last night.”
