About the book: year / The first kiss may be the last. Seventeen-year-old Layla just wants to be normal, but with a kiss that kills anyone with a soul, she is not. Half demon, half gargoyle, Layla has powers that no one else has. Raised by the Guardians, a race of gargoyles that hunt demons and keep humanity safe, Layla tries to fit in, but that means hiding her dark side from those she loves most. Especially from Zane, the magnificent Guardian with whom she has been in love for a long time. Then she meets Roth, a sinfully sexy demon with a tattoo. He convinces Layla that he knows all her secrets, and Layla knows she should stay away from him, but she's not sure she wants to, especially since she doesn't have to worry about kissing him because Roth doesn't have a soul. But when Layla discovers that she is the cause of a violent demon uprising, trusting Roth could not only ruin her chances of being with Zane, but could also turn her into a traitor in her own.
