JLA why do you do this to me!

I love this book! Although I was expecting the reveal at the end it was still so good! I could not stop reading. I went through the whole alphabet of emotions.

I really can't explain why I am so in love with this book...it may have something to do with Roth but let's not dwell on that....

I won't make a good review, something that is usually the case with books that I have strong feelings about. I loved it, I cried, I laughed and I could not sleep.

The only reason why it's not perfect it's the love triangle. Me and love triangle don't get along that well.

GAH! This book! I can't wait for the next. This has easily been one of my favorite YA series this year.

I have been expecting the sequel all summer and i was really glad for the chance to have a copy! ;)

Stone Cold Touch" takes place two weeks after Roth's fall into the pit with Layla worrying over him and tension into the Warden clan. When Layla finds herself into a really difficult situation along with Zayne, then the real problem begins.
Roth returns but things are really strange between Layla and him. And with Zayne's growing feelings for her, everything blows apart.

Into a plot where witty dialogues, funny scenes and really charged emotional, and steamy, scenes Jennifer Armentrout delivers a thrilling story, where good and wrong sometimes aren't easy to tell apart.

As one of Team Roth, i believe that the ending of the second book, is a good point to see who will Layla choose. While I din't expect the 'bad guy' to appear like this, i was really moved by Roth's words. While I also like Zayne, i found that he was really late to express his feelings and in some reasons, at the second half of the book, he was acting more like a teenager rather than the man he is.

Overall, and in a few words, i can't wait for 2015!!!

A really great follow up to the first book! I did find that the first half of this book was a bit more slow, but the last 150 pages or so really packed a punch. I did find that the characters acted a bit different in this book compared to the last book (at least for the first half), which I didn't know how I felt about, but by the second half things were back to normal and I really liked it! We are introduced into new creatures in this book, which I enjoyed, since it added new elements to the story. Was a fun, action-packed, sexy second book in this trilogy, and I am excited to see how the story ends in the next book!

Madre mía. Terminé anoche el libro y tuve que usar toda mi fuerza de voluntad para no empezar el siguiente del tirón y pasarme leyendo toda la noche (desventajas de ser adulta y tener facturas que pagar). Una trama que no para un segundo, Layla evolucionando en todos los sentidos y descubriendo mucho más sobre el mundo y sobre sí misma de lo que jamás se hubiera imaginado, Roth y su magnetismo, Zayne y su lealtad... y un final de infarto. Esperaba un libro más calmado, más puente hacia el final que sería el último libro de la trilogía, así que me ha sorprendido gratamente. Y, por supuesto, de cabeza a por el tercero.

3.5 stars

This is pretty much going to be an entire series review, since I read all three books back to back and I feel pretty much the same way about all of them.

This is my first foray into Jennifer L. Armentrout, and I can totally and completely understand how so many people love her. Her writing is easy to consume; it's like watching your favorite guilty pleasure film non-stop for a week: you can quote damn near every line, and yet you still laugh when that one guy falls into the fountain.

Ultimately, this was a fast read, but was pretty conventional. Apart from the addition of gargoyles, and the tattoos/familiars (which was probably my favorite thing) I feel like this was a pale comparison to Lisa Desrochers's Personal Demons' Trilogy. It was fun, it was fast, but ultimately, I think that I'll only ever consider this Reading Challenge Fodder.

Overall 3.5 stars for the series

Estoy enamorada, de verdad, es amor verdadero.
Me está encantando esta trilogía, Jenn jamás decepciona.
En esta segunda parte de "El beso del infierno" Layla se ve envuelta en las consecuencias que llevaron a Roth al inframundo y se enfrente al deseo prohibido que siente por Zayne.
El libro es un constante tira y afloja con los sentimientos de Layla hacia Roth y Zayne, asique si, ✨triángulo amoroso✨
No me ha molestado que lo haya, es más, lo he disfrutado, pero si creo que es un poco artificial en algunos momentos, es un rato con uno, y luego un rato con el otro, y de vuelta al inicio. Me gusta que no se hayan expresado muy bien los sentimientos de Layla hacia ellos, es algo confuso y creo que eso lo hace real, ni ella misma sabe lo que siente, es una adolescente abrumada por sus sentimientos.
Los personajes han continuado con la evolución que ya se intuía en el primer libro, aunque no es mucho y creo que los únicos que realmente han tenido un desarrollo real son Layla Abbot (su "padre" adoptivo), y tal vez Zayne en cuanto a su aceptación al mundo demoníaco.
Y de nuevo, como en el primer libro, hay trama más allá del romance y es un punto que siempre me gusta señalar de los libros, hay más que solo protagonistas amándose, problemas reales que no sólo les afectan a ellos si no a la gente de su alrededor.
Se lee muy bien, y con esto me refiero a que no se hace pesado en ningún momento, no hay descripciones innecesarias ni escenas de relleno, es atrapante desde el minuto 0 hasta la última página.
8.5/10, excelente servicio

A conversation between Michelle and I.

Mich: What are you reading?
Me: Stone Cold Touch
Mich: WHAT. Why are you reading that? (I thought you think her books are cliche and what not dot dot.)
Me: Sometimes all I need is a thrashy book. You can go ahead and freely judge me.

My mind is so disoriented, I don't have any witty to say. Mini review to come.
