Story
Trinity Marrow has lost the battle and her beloved Protector. Even with both demons and Wardens on her side, Trin may not win the war against the Harbinger. Bringing Lucifer back to the world to fight the Harbinger is probably a really, really bad idea, but they're out of options—and the world's ultimate fallen angel is the only being powerful enough to impact the outcome. As Trin and Zayne form a new and more dangerous bond and Lucifer unleashes Hell on earth, the apocalypse looms and the world teeters on the end of forever. Win or lose, nothing will ever be the same.

Eighteen-year-old Trinity Marrow may be going blind, but she can see and communicate with ghosts and spirits. Her unique gift is part of a secret so dangerous that she’s been in hiding for years in an isolated compound fiercely guarded by Wardens - gargoyle shape-shifters who protect humankind from demons. If the demons discover the truth about Trinity, they’ll devour her, flesh and bone, to enhance their own powers.

Alexandria isn’t sure she’s going to make it to her 18th birthday - to her Awakening. A long-forgotten, fanatical order is out to kill her, and if the Council ever discovers what she did in the Catskills, she’s a goner...and so is Aiden. If that’s not freaky enough, whenever Alex and Seth spend time "training" - which really is just Seth's code word for some up-close and personal one-on-one time - she ends up with another mark of the Apollyon, which brings her one step closer to Awakening ahead of schedule. Awesome.

Story
The Hematoi descend from the unions of gods and mortals, and the children of two Hematoi-pure-bloods-have godlike powers. Children of Hematoi and mortals-well, not so much. Half-bloods only have two options: Become trained Sentinels who hunt and kill daimons or become servants in the homes of the pures. Seventeen-year-old Alexandria would rather risk her life fighting than waste it scrubbing toilets, but she may end up slumming it anyway.

You can tell they are virgins in both ways
I really like the story of getting to know the mysteries. However, the relationship between the two characters is very much high school. There was no kissing rule when she was getting heavily petted. Like come on.. either be bad or don't. Then they are miscommunicating all the time or not communicating. The heroin is very much selfish in what she wants and she admitted it over and over. The story is good but the interactions between the characters are childish which makes the situation unbelievable. This is not for an adult reader. Maybe a young adult who is a virgin in relationships and in the bedroom would like this drama? Because I have read stronger female roles who have a good badass side but is able to communicate to her partner well and have a plot twist.

Enjoyable cookie-cutter JLA
This is a good book and series, it is not amazing but not bad, perfect for in-between books. Note: this is Jennifer's Armentrout cookie-cutter recipe for books only with gargoyles and ghosts, I did enjoy this one better than the first one tho.

Loved it!
I was worried that this book wouldn’t be as good as the first based on other reviews. There was some feedback saying that Trinity spent most of this book just whining and being jealous but I TOTALLY disagree.
This sequel did focus a lot on Trinity’s internal struggle, trying to find the balance of who she is and how she can possibly give up Zayne, knowing that it’s what she’s supposed to do. But I didn’t find it overdone at all, I found myself caught up in her passion and understanding her character better.
I also loved how much of Roth we got! He’s a great character and he plays off of all the other characters so well. I’m so sad we have to wait so long for the next book, what an ending.

Police brutality and blind representation.
Hmm how to put this, it's always seemed a bit iffy to me when an author creates a race of people whose job it is to "police" another sentient species. A theme that is most prevalent in teen novels. Probably cause apparently girls are really into guys who are so bad ass others are terrified of them and having an entire race of people cringe every time you are around is just uber..."hot?" Normally such things seem silly and unrealistic to me, however with the way things are right now in the real world with people questioning policing tactics. Some things in this book kind of irked me. Three times times a suspect who posed no threat was beaten and tortured and the one and only time it was seen as a bad thing and remarked upon Trinity claimed lectures were boring and flipped Zayne off, then she went and got food and it was never mentioned again. I get that she was dealing with some crap, but like with real world police, thats not much of an excuse and the way she just blew it off made it seem super callous. Granted Zayne's whole character arch for this book and the last trilogy was in questioning his role as a warden, and Trinity does do some soul searching buuuut there are some definite mixed signals for the audience through out the book.
Speaking of Zayne and Trinity. I'm not sure i really like them as a couple. Zayne seems far more mature as a person than she does in this book. Every time there is a problem, usually cause Trinity is feeling jealous or insecure, Zayne will try and talk to her about it. Only for Trinity to out right refuse or deliberately misinterpret what is being said so she can be a proper victim. it's really kind of gross. She does begin to figure out her short coming but wow is it grating until she does and i'm not really sure she changes all that much by the end, she just gets her way for a little bit and that settles her somewhat.
On the good side, wow does Miss Armentrout understand the frustration of being disabled. I'm not sure if that is from personal experience or just really good research (i'm too lazy to look it up) but i kept nodding my head and going i've been there over and over again. even the little things, like when a guy yells at Trinity for missing a step on a curb, i was once accused of being on drugs for bumping into a rope railing i couldn't see at an outdoor festival when i was 10. And don't get me started on how much of a pain in the ass it can be to ask strangers for help. It's all good till they realize they have to do more than nod in a general direction and grunt. It's been nearly twenty four years sense i went legally blind and i still sometimes freak out out if my vision is suddenly gone and my vision is fairly stable where it is unless something bad happens. Of course the real Frustration comes in the constant struggle of trying to be as independent as you can be while constantly slamming into that damn wall where you know you have no choice but to ask for help and deal with the shame that never really goes away because something that is so simple for most people is beyond you. Normally i use books to escape reality but this series is reminding me that every once in a while it is nice to actually have someone you can truly relate with rather than just some moping guy or gal bitching about how much having god like powers sucks.

I didnt like the Heroine
Trinity is comes off as a spoiled brat and its hard to spend the story in her head. Also there was too much attention payed to her relationship with Zane, I wish the author would have focused more on developing the plot of the story than the relationship between the two main characters. Please give Zane and the crown prince a voice in the next book I dont want to spend another book in only Trinity's head.

Well let me tell you, Trinity annoyed the crap out of me in this book. She was selfish and suspicious and grieving. But I still thought it was pretty good, and I’d like to see what happens at the end.

Hard to finish
I like some confrontation and angst in a story but this book was extremely hard to finish. So much could have been different if there was a conversation between trinity and Zane. Supposedly they have a cosmic connection through a bond that makes him her protector but they can’t understand what the other is feeling or have an adult conversation. This goes on through so many chapters at the end that it’s just painful to read/listen to. Not entertaining at all just painful.

Melodramatic teen dramedy romance - SPOILERS
So 90% of this book was lots of angst and will they/won’t they between Zayne and Trin. I get it, Zayne has a lot of baggage and former girlfriend-turned-“just friends” hanging around. I would feel kinda pissy about it too. But then it sort of ends in this epic battle and the resolution is just super melodramatic. It was all a little eye-roll inducing. I mean basically sexytimes happens and then all the bad stuff... it’s so 90s horror flick (and considering all the pop culture references, I’m surprised this wasn’t mentioned - oh for the love of Buffy references!). I mostly read these for the fun action and romance. The action was interesting with the zombies coming in to play but there’s just very low stakes. Even at the very end... if everyone can just come back of knit themselves back together after injury.... welp, kinda low stakes. Also Gabriel, I just don’t buy it. He’s gotta know how either Satanic or human he sounds... basically ragging on humans for failings that he himself is now displaying (pride, envy, destructiveness?). I didn’t love this installment, I wanted more organic development with Z and T, more talking things out, I wanted to believe they were more endgame than Z’s other girls. I just wasn’t that convinced, they needed more time.

Good Story but Not as Good as The First Series
The first series with Layla, Roth and Zayne I feel was better... I do like it is a continuous story but part of me dislikes the distance they put between Layla and Zayne like there past was never meant to be. Overall I enjoyed it! I also wish they would have kept the same narrator from the first book. The different voices for already established characters is a little odd.

I Wanted More From The Book
So like in the original Dark Elements Series the second book is used as a staging ground. Aside from the cliffhanger ending not too much is really happening or revealed in the book. Trinity acts like a jealous brat for a good 80% of the time. She was much more likeable in the first book. Zayne also comes off as slightly more secretive. There are times the characters are off doing things that never get explained. maybe saving it for the next book. It almost feels like it's a few chapters short of a complete story.

Loved it!
Demons, gargoyles, ghosts, and angels. What more can a girl ask! So much has happened since the first installment. While Trinity can be selfish at times I feel like she can’t always help it, because she has so many things to worry about. I love Zayne, and Wrath. Wrath has been a very interesting character. This is such a great and intense read at times. The audiobook is fantastic and narrated by Lauren Fortgang. She is such a wonderful narrator and the variety of inflections she uses is incredible. She truly breathes life to these characters. I have book 3 cued up next and ready to go!

This book hurts a lot
This book is about people in pain saying truly horrible things to each other. It's a tough listen and could be triggering for people who have experienced loss. Also, the main characters lie all the time to each other for no reason whatsoever creating a lot of needless conflict.
