Seventeen year old Layla is half gargoyle and half demon. She was taken in and raised by the Wardens, which are gargoyles that hunt demons. Layla tries to fit in, but she has a power that doesn't allow that. Her kiss steals souls and kills. This means a relationship with Zayne, the older Warden she likes in impossible. Then she meets the gorgeous demon Roth, whi she can't help but stay away from him. A relationship with him would be possible, considering he doesn't have a soul, but she would be a traitor to the Warden who'd raised her. What side of herself will Layla choose?

 OMG! I loved this so much! I really loved the characters, like swoon-worthy Zayne, and especially extremely hot and amazing Roth!!!!!! I really, really, really, liked his character, and I have to say that he kind of reminded me of Morpheus from the Splintered trilogy. 
 In fact, a lot of the book did. But I'm not saying that in a bad way - not at all! The books were very different from each other, yet they had their similarities. For example, the both starred a girl who was ultimately different from everybody else and was really confused. (Alyssa in Splintered, Layla in this one) They both had a really big crush on some guy who was like a brotherly figure for them (Jeb in Splintered, Zayne in this one). Then some mysterious, sassy, really hot and seductive, and just amazing in general, guy comes along and knows all of the girls' secrets. He seems really selfish and rough, but is actually really sweet and caring for the girl. (Morpheus in Splintered, and Roth here). The girl knows she should stay away, but can't and then falls in love with him, but is still kind of in love with older brotherly figure, who disapproves of the other guy. In the end, mysterious hot guy sacrifices himself so that the girl can live with the other guy, but it turns out the guy is actually okay in the end. 
 So even though I was constantly comparing the book to Splintered, I loved this one and still found it to be really unique and enjoyable. Not to mention intriguing and suspenseful - I literally could not put it down! 
 In conclusion, I loved the book and will definitely be continuing on with the series!
