Publisher's summary

Every choice has consequences - but 17-year-old Layla faces tougher choices than most. Light or darkness. Wickedly sexy demon prince Roth or Zayne, the gorgeous, protective Warden that she never thought could be hers. Hardest of all, Layla has to decide which side of herself to trust.

Layla has a new problem, too. A Lilin - the deadliest of demons - has been unleashed, wreaking havoc on those around her, including her best friend. To keep Sam from a fate much, much worse than death, Layla must strike a deal with the enemy while saving her city - and her race - from destruction. Torn between two worlds and two different boys, Layla has no certainties, least of all survival, especially when an old bargain comes back to haunt them all. But sometimes, when secrets are everywhere and the truth seems unknowable, you have to listen to your heart, pick a side - and then fight like hell.

Good Overall

This is a strong, if somewhat expected ending to an enjoyable trilogy. One moment, in particular, was very upsetting to me, but I won't say which.

I loved it!!

As with all the books I've read that were written by Jennifer Armentrout, I loved it. Great characters, great story, great ending. Narration is great. I really enjoyed it.

Nice Conclusion to Layla's Story

What made the experience of listening to Every Last Breath the most enjoyable?

I loved the narration, it was really good

Who was your favorite character and why?

Layla is my favorite because she is so funny! She always has a way of lightening the mood

What about Saskia Maarleveld’s performance did you like?

The variety of voices she gives us is amazing. I loved them all!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The scene with Bambie.

Any additional comments?

I really wish she would have had the familiars out a little more, that would have made for a fun story line also. I like how she concluded Layla and Roth's story, but Zayne was kind of left in the dust. I hate that he is still so sad and that his soul isn't as pure as it once was, but that is what he gave up for Layla. I think JLA did an nice job as always. I usually wiz through her books without stopping but this one took my almost a week to finish. Over all it was still really good!

Great Conclusion

I loved this story so much. I can't believe its over. Roth and Layla are meant to be together and this story just shows it through and through. LOVED IT.

FAVORITE!!

This series is my new favorite! Not a minuet wasted, intense, sexy, absolutely absorbing in every way. I hope it continues so much is established that can go places......hint hint

So sad it’s over!!

Loved these characters so much! Thank you both Jennifer L. Armentrout for creating them and Saskia Maarleveld for breathing life into them!!!

Great last book

Enjoyed this series. Will read it again. It was fun. I love being able to listen as I do other things.

Great!

I really liked this whole series it’s not overly complicated and the characters are really great! And it may be the Canadian in me but I am so happy for a character to finally say please and thank you!

Love It!!

Absolutely love the story! The entire series is great and love Jennifer Armentrout. Ready to start her next series

Wonderful series

Seventeen year old Layla has a tough choice to make between the Warden she has been crushing on her whole life and the sexy Demon who recently swept into her life. Then there is also the matter of the Lilan, the evil step-brother intent on bringing about Armageddon. And Layla is the only one who can stop him.

Action-packed and steaming, the third installment of The Dark Elements series lives up to the high expectations set by the first two books. The story resolves the relationship issues and turns to more internal struggles as Layla faces her fears and discovers her inner strengths. Further questions are raised surrounding the true nature of ‘evil’, and Layla’s moral mettle is tested to the fullest extent, bringing her character development to a mature and sweeping end.

I do feel that the novel would have been a 5 star and not a 4 star if it had ended slightly earlier than it did. I’m a reader who likes to know that the conflict has been resolved, but still wants a little room for dreaming up my own ending. Armentrout really tied double knots on this ending though, and it ventured a little too far into the soppy soap for my tastes.

But, I still loved this book and adored the series!
