Thank you all for your feedback on the chapters read. I loved all your responses about the book. Here's what some readers had to say:
Sona Dasgupta says "Bitter Sweet Love is the perfect introduction for the Dark Element Series. It captured my attention from the first page. The chemistry between Jas and Dez was sizzling. And meeting Roth (the Upper Demon) was the cherry at the top."
Neiss says "In a few words, I loved the world, the plot and Jasmine and Dez's relationship, but meet Layla, Zayne & Roth for "first time" was great. I liked to see how they were when they were young."
Fatima says "I just love Dez.My favorite scene was the one with the pukwudgie."
How about you?

We are over the moon about this Cover Reveal for Jennifer L. Armentrout's THE POWER!! THE POWER is a New Adult Paranormal being published by Spencer Hill Press, and is a part of Jennifer L. Armentrout’s The Titan Series. It is being released on February 23rd, 2016!!
“You don’t know what I’m capable of.”
Official Description To Come…
Don't miss THE RETURN, the first book in the Titan Series....
THE RETURN Synopsis:
The Fates are cackling their bony asses off...
It's been a year since Seth made the deal with the gods that pledged his life to them. And so far, the jobs they've given him have been violent and bloody--which is kind of all right with him. But now Apollo has something else in mind for Seth. He's got to play protector while keeping his hands and fingers off, and for someone who really has a problem with restraint, this new assignment might be the most challenging yet.
Josie has no idea what this crazy hot guy's deal might be, but it's a good bet that his arrival means the new life she started after leaving home is about to be thrown into an Olympian-sized blender turned up to puree. Either Josie is going insane or a nightmare straight out of ancient myth is gunning for her.
But it might be the unlikely attraction simmering between her and the golden-eyed, secret-keeping Seth that may prove to be the most dangerous thing of all.
Because history has once again been flipped to repeat.

Now, let's discuss what you read during the week, Bitter Sweet Love.
Here's what I thought about the novella:
I need more! I loved Dez and Jasmine. It was great getting introduced to the Warden world and also seeing a bit of Zayne and Layla before the series starts. My favorite part involved Dez and Jasmine going on their mini-adventure with their "conditions", such fun! And even though Herbert is a bad boy, I still adore him.
Thank you all for your feedback on the novella. I loved all your responses about the book. Here's what some readers had to say:

Next up, we'll be reading Chapters 1-9 of White Hot Kiss.
One kiss could be the last.
Seventeen-year-old Layla just wants to be normal. But with a kiss that kills anything with a soul, she's anything but normal. Half demon, half gargoyle, Layla has abilities no one else possesses.
Raised among the Wardens—a race of gargoyles tasked with hunting demons and keeping humanity safe—Layla tries to fit in, but that means hiding her own dark side from those she loves the most. Especially Zayne, the swoon-worthy, incredibly gorgeous and completely off-limits Warden she's crushed on since forever.
Then she meets Roth—a tattooed, sinfully hot demon who claims to know all her secrets. Layla knows she should stay away, but she's not sure she wants to—especially when that whole no-kissing thing isn't an issue, considering Roth has no soul.
But when Layla discovers she's the reason for the violent demon uprising, trusting Roth could not only ruin her chances with Zayne…it could brand her a traitor to her family. Worse yet, it could become a one-way ticket to the end of the world.
So what did you think of the novella?

We're starting off with Bitter Sweet Love, the prequel.
Dez wasn't just Jasmine's crush. A gargoyle Warden like Jas, he helped her come to terms with her destiny—fending off demons and maintaining balance between good and evil. He was her everything...right until the moment he disappeared without a trace. It didn't help that Jas's father had just announced that she and Dez would one day be mated. Hard not to take that personally.
And now he's back, three years older, ten times hotter, ready to pick up exactly where they left off. But Jas isn't taking that risk again. Dez has seven days to meet all her conditions and earn back her trust. Seven days filled with terrifying danger and sweet temptation. Seven days to win her heart—or shatter it all over again...
