Summary/ product description: “Some loves will last ’til
your dying breath
Every
choice has consequences—but seventeen-year-old Layla faces tougher choices than
most. Light or darkness. Wickedly sexy demon prince Roth, or Zayne, the
gorgeous, protective Warden she never thought could be hers. Hardest of all,
Layla has to decide which side of herself to trust.
Layla
has a new problem, too. A Lilin—the deadliest of demons—has been unleashed,
wreaking havoc on those around her…including her best friend. To keep Sam from
a fate much, much worse than death, Layla must strike a deal with the enemy
while saving her city—and her race—from destruction.
Torn between
two worlds and two different boys, Layla has no certainties, least of all
survival, especially when an old bargain comes back to haunt them all. But
sometimes, when secrets are everywhere and the truth seems unknowable, you have
to listen to your heart, pick a side—and then fight like hell…”
My Review: Every Last Breath is the amazing, epic
finale to the Dark Elements Trilogy. The romance of Laya and Roth continues. I
absolutely love this series and I hate that it’s over. It gave me more feels
than most books I read. It’s the best romance I’ve read beside Unearthly by
Cynthia Hand (I heart Tucker!). So much happens in it. It’s got that urban
fantasy vibe, and it id paranormal romance. I love that’s it’s not about
vampires, but about demons, gargoyles and angels. I also love that there’s a
few Supernatural references in it (Castiel is mentioned), which is appropriate
since Jenn clearly got the name Lilith from Supernatural, then researched the biblical
mythologies and came up with this fantastic series. I had my own story idea
years ago about a girl named Layla who was supposed to be the destined vessel
for Lilith (Called it Dark Vessel) but only wrote a few chapters. (I’m onto you
Jenn! Lol)
I love the characters and I’ll miss all of them! Layla
is a great narrator and Roth is so hilarious and hot. He’s a lot like Damon
from the Vampire Diaries with his crazy sexual innuendo and dark humor, I just
about died laughing at the things he said. I love Roth so much, but I also like
Zayne. He’s a lot more sweet and protective. He’s hot too, but Layla’s just
more drawn to Roth and she doesn’t know how to tell Zayne this without hurting
him, because she’s loves Zayne too. He’s family to her and she grew up with
him. Another great character is Bambi.
She’s a familiar and a snake, but she’s important to Roth. I don’t like snakes,
but the whole idea of familars is cool. Roth also has 3 kittens and a dragon.
Layla decides to get a familiar, but I’ll let you find out what for yourself.
In this book, Layla’s abilty to shift has change
somehow and now she’s sporting dark feathered wings. It freak her out because
before she was like a marbled mish-mash of Warden and Demon. She’s has to
rethink what she’s becoming. The Alphas call her an abomination and want to
kill her, but Roth’s familiars stop them. The Lilin is on the lose and has
taken Sam’s soul and shape and now everyone’s at the risk of losing their soul.
Layla, Roth and the Wardens have to find a way to stop the Lilin. Stuff doesn’t
go down exactly how I expect it, but I enjoyed the surprises! The ending is
great too.
I recommend this series to those whole enjoyed
angel-related series such as Unearthly, Hush, Hush, Fallen, Sweet Evil, and the
Mortal Instruments.
Cover Art Review: Not a very interesting cover, but I
love the paper used.
