White Hot Kiss

(The Dark Elements 1)

Jennifer L. Armentrout

Feb 25 2014

Goodreads

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.

Cover Reveal - Rebellion by Karen Sandler

 I've followed this series since book one, Tankborn, and it is one of the best YA Scifi novels out there. The second book, Awakening, took a while to come out but I always kept my eye out for it and I am so glad, because it totally raise the stakes in the story. That Rebellion is the final installment makes be both sad and excited to see how Kayla's story concludes.

 These are the first two covers and praise be the book cover gods for a little diversity!

Here is the cover for Rebellion (Tankborn, book 3)!

 Can I just tackle-hug whoever did this cover? Because it is gorgeous. I love the little bit of planet landscape, the blues, and Kayla's tattoo. I'm sort of wishing they'd re-do the first cover now...

Coming this Spring 2014
Genre: YA Scifi

In this final installment of the Tankborn series, Kayla has been kidnapped by the group that has been bombing GEN warehouses, and she must pretend to sympathize with them in order to escape.

Overview 

In the wake of a devastating bomb blast, severely injured Kayla has been brought to the headquarters of the organization that planted the bomb—and many others like it in GEN food warehouses and homes. Her biological mother tells her that Devak is dead and that Kayla must join her in the terrorist group, which is ramping up for something big. Now Kayla must pretend that she embraces this new role in an underground compound full of paranoia as she plots a way to escape and save her friends.

Meanwhile, Devak has emerged from his healing in a gen-tank, only to be told that Kayla is dead and his family has fallen from grace. Can he overcome his grief at the loss of his power to see the clues that point to Kayla being alive?

As Kayla and Devak overcome the multiple obstacles put between them while trying to free GENs without further bloodshed, the Tankborn trilogy rushes to a thrilling conclusion!
