Book Description:
Eighteen-year-old Trinity Marrow may be going blind, but she can see and communicate with ghosts and spirits. Her unique gift is part of a secret so dangerous that she’s been in hiding for years in an isolated compound fiercely guarded by Wardens—gargoyle shape-shifters who protect humankind from demons. If the demons discover the truth about Trinity, they’ll devour her, flesh and bone, to enhance their own powers.
When Wardens from another clan arrive with disturbing reports that something out there is killing both demons and Wardens, Trinity’s safe world implodes. Not the least because one of the outsiders is the most annoying and fascinating person she’s ever met. Zayne has secrets of his own that will upend her world yet again—but working together becomes imperative once demons breach the compound and Trinity’s secret comes to light. To save her family and maybe the world, she’ll have to put her trust in Zayne. But all bets are off as a supernatural war is unleashed…
I absolutely adored Armentrout's Dark Elements trilogy and when I saw that she was releasing a new book set in the same world of the Wardens, I knew it was something I had to try.
I'm so excited that Armentrout decided to resurrect this series. It really is so much fun and truly completely unique.
Not only do we get a continuation of the series but this time with a new unique character but, we get to see many old favorites as well.
It couldn't have been any more fun if it tried.
I loved every second of this book. From the slow burn romance to the action and mystery to the fun banter and of course, they very real medical condition that Armentrout herself has. It was so informative and interesting and just...yeah. Such a great read and one I can not wait for all fans to read and of course, for the next book to come out.

I loved this book as. well and agree with your review! It was wonderful getting to be back in the world of the wardens, and getting to be reunited my beloved characters! I didn't know Armentrouts had the same medical condition :(. Great Review!

I know, I had no idea either until this. So cool that she told us so much about it.
DeleteShe does write really fun books! I'm really glad she resurrected this series that you love so much. It's always exciting when a favorite author does that.
ReplyDeleteGreat review!
Me too and it didn't feel forced like it sometimes does when authors try to bring something back, which was a huge bonus.
Deleteooh yes please :)

DeleteThe cover is gorgeous. I haven't read her Elemental series but I am curious :)
ReplyDeleteIt is definitely different and fun.
DeleteI love the author so I would be curious to try as well!
ReplyDeleteIf you already like her, I bet you would like this one too.
DeleteOh wow, that story line sounds like so much fun.
ReplyDeleteIt really was!
DeleteSlow burn romance sounds good! Thanks for putting this on my radar.
ReplyDeleteOf course! Thanks so much for stopping by!

ReplyDeletesherry @ fundinmental
Glad you've liked some of her other stuff!
DeleteThis sounds pretty great, and I love the covers on these. I've never read armentrout but I love the idea of gargoyle shapeshifters. :)
ReplyDeleteI love her more unique ideas as well, they are definitely fun. :D
DeleteI am yet to read her books This one does sound fantastic.
ReplyDeleteYou should try her, she has more adult stuff as well!
DeleteWhat a gorgeous cover. I still don't think I've read any of her books, even though there are a ton to choose from.
ReplyDeleteThere are a ton!
DeleteThis is next on my TBR and I'm sure excited! I always love JLA and I really love this world. Great review!
ReplyDeleteI hope you love it!!
DeleteYou liked this one more than I did! I do love JLA's books, and I thought it was interesting that she used her personal experience with a degenerative eye disease, but I felt mostly annoyed with the overall story. I thought everything with M happened abruptly and with very little resolution. I'm still planning on reading the other series! I'm happy this one was an enjoyable read for you. :)
ReplyDeleteLindsi @ Do You Dog-ear?
It was frustrating at times and some things drug out a little too much. I'm hoping the next one is even better.
DeleteIt's been a while since I've picked up a JLA. Didn't know she has a degenerative eye disease! Very sad. Glad to hear you enjoyed this spin-off. :)
ReplyDeleteI had no idea either!
DeleteI didn't realize until yesterday that this is a spin-off of Armentrout's other series---I never read the final book in that one, so I have to fix that!!
ReplyDeleteNicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction
Definitely, it's such a fun series!
