Its not everyday you are told that you are the daughter of the mythical Lilith. But, in this book Layla is just that. And Hell is out for her blood to bring back a certain demon that has been wiped out of existence. Roth didn't even sugar coat it when he tells her all about it. He also admits that he is watching Layla as an assignment from Satan himself to make sure she stays safe. So he's her personal bodyguard that isn't so hard on the eyes. Anyways, Layla doesn't want to go home but she knows she has too. She still puts it off until Zayne pretty much hunts her down himself. As soon as he gets a good look at her, he sees that the gargoyle that doesn't like her beat her up pretty bad. She was actually amazed on how fast he knew who it was. I also would like to add that Zayne ended up getting beyond pissed and was ready to rip the gargoyle's head off. Layla had to tell him the story Roth and her came up with in order to calm him down. She then had to be questioned as soon as she got home, and Zayne feels beyond guilty that Layla got hurt. He feels like that if he wasn't ignoring her, she wouldn't of gotten beaten up, or nearly killed. Good, I hope he feels like a complete ass. So Layla misses a few days of school because of it. The cover story is that she was in a car accident. The funny thing is that she was in a car accident, but got away with minor injuries. Nothing like adding a beating on top of that. Anyways, when Layla does return to school, she ends up skipping with Roth anyways. Apparently they both made it their mission for find some kind of key to prevent Layla from getting into any further danger. So they go see a Seer and Layla is shocked at how young the Seer actually is. Her world is all shades of gray now. Of course, she has a highly confusing riddle to solve in order to find the key now. How will she ever figure that out? Anyways, Layla once again gets attacked by demons on the way to Roth's house. Luckly Roth was there to keep her safe. The guy is pretty cool. Anyways, they get to Roth's place and Layla finds out who Roth really is. I was wondering when that was going to happen. Things also get more complicated between the two when Layla realizes that something has changed between them after the whole conversation about Roth. Then they solve the riddle the Seer gave them. Or should I say Layla's best friend solved it. Now all Layla has to do is find a good alibi so she can go with Roth to get what they are looking for. So far Zayne is putting up quite a good fight. So until next time....
