![]() ![]() It's not that one is better than the other. I think it's obvious who she is meant to be with (and I am not just saying that because I accidentally started reading the Harbinger series first, a spin-off of this one, and already know). There's the romance aspect of the story, which I loved just as much. No matter what blood runs through your veins, or how you are raised, you can choose to be the person you want to be. Just like being a Warden doesn't make you good. Until Roth comes along, and shows her that being a demon doesn't mean you are evil. We have Layla, trying to ignore her demon side, and doing everything she can to make her adopted family, and especially Zayne, proud of her and see her as a Warden. It's a supernatural book, but there are a lot of different things going on in it. I loved this book! Layla is a breath of fresh air in the world of young adult characters. ![]()
