I don't even know where to begin with this review because it is pure perfection. Seriously. I don't know if Jen sold her soul to be able to write this well, but I'm happy if she did because Jen writes a damn good story. This second installment in the Dark Elements Trilogy has it all, great characters, intense action, twists and turns you won't see coming, and 2 droolworthy boys that you will 
 NOT 
 be able to choose between. 
 In the first book, White Hot Kiss, I liked Zayne (aka Stony hehe), but didn't love him. I was completely, wholly Team Roth. This book...I absolutely loved Zayne. Jen, why do you cause me to have such dilemmas???!!! It's not fair how much I love both of these boys, and honestly, I don't know who I want her to be with at this point! I just can't decide!! Zayne really steps it up in this novel, and shows Layla his true feelings. The reader (and Layla) sees a side of Zayne that we haven't seen before, and not only was it refreshing, as we were able to learn more about Zayne, his intentions, and why he is the way he is, Zayne's development as a character also makes the book that much more enjoyable. I love being able to witness a character's progression over the course of the story, and Zayne is definitely not to be messed with. Every single aspect of his character I loved and adored. Now onto our other swoonworthy boy, Roth. Roth is back and better than ever in this novel. He is sarcastic, humorous, and just plain fun. The boy makes bad look sinfully good, and makes any girl want to join the dark side. However, much like Zayne, we saw a great deal of character development with Roth as well. We see a more sensitive side, one that truly cares for Layla, and is not very demon-like. And again...I adored it. 
 Layla was yet again an amazing lead. She took charge and was extremely relatable, maybe even more so than in the previous book. While she wasn't take charge all the time, we saw a true reflection of what a 17-year-old would go through if faced with this type of situation- one where a girl has to cover up and hide so much of her life; a life that is scary and intense, and is threatening to not only her, those she loves and holds most dear. 
 There are so many revelations in this book, your head will be spinning. You will not see things coming, and the ending will just leave you speechless and wanting to throw your book across the room because you can't believe it's the end of the story! This novel has definitely set up the story for what is sure to be an extremely interesting finale and conclusion to this magnificent series. 
 Jen's writing is utterly amazing, and the world is well described. There is a nice summary in the beginning that should stir your memory enough if you forgot what happened in the previous book. This is something I always appreciate from an author as a reader can easily get books confused. Every scene is well described, and plays out like a beautiful movie. I can easily see this as a huge blockbuster, but I would definitely be afraid of Hollywood messing it up! 
 Do not miss this book if you were a fan of the first novel in the series! This book is action-packed, full of intense and steamy moments, and 2 sexy, sexy men that will leave you longing for more! I can't wait to see what Jen has in store for us next!! Happy reading :) 
 10 stars!
