From #1
New York Times
bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout come the first two installments of the epic Dark Elements series, together in one keepsake collection
White Hot Kiss
Seventeen-year-old Layla Shaw just wants to be normal—but as a half demon, half gargoyle, she's anything but. Even her longtime crush, Zayne, part of the race of gargoyles that protects the world against demons, isn't safe from her soul-killing kiss.
Then she meets Roth, a tattooed, sinfully hot demon who claims to know her secrets. Trusting him could ruin her chances with Zayne—and brand her a traitor to her family. But as Layla discovers she's the reason for a violent demon uprising, kissing the enemy suddenly pales in comparison to the looming end of the world.
Stone Cold Touch
Layla is trying to pick up the pieces of her shattered life—but with Zayne off-limits, her family keeping dangerous secrets and Roth beyond her reach, she's pretty sure things can't get worse.
When Layla's powers begin to evolve, she's offered a tantalizing taste of the forbidden. Then, when she least expects it, Roth returns, bringing news that could change her world forever. She's finally getting what she always wanted, but the price may be higher than Layla is willing to pay…

4 sweet deal stars!!
Would have loved it if they were all together, even though it's good to have the finale alone.

The Dark Elements Volume One by Jennifer L. Armentrout has the following titles White Hot Kiss and Stone Cold Touch. I’ll update my review as I finish each title.
White Hot Kiss
White Hot Kiss is the first book in The Dark Elements series and I just loved getting to reenter this world. I was just drawn into this wonderful story and I just couldn’t get enough of it. It was just so easy to get lost in this great story. I just didn’t want it to end. I just lost myself in and I just couldn’t get enough of these interesting characters. I can’t wait to see what’s next from this author.
Stone Cold Touch
