Review "Storm and Fury by Jennifer L. Armentrout"

Enter a world of gargoyle protectors, rising demons and one girl with an explosive secret.

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.

When Wardens from another clan arrive with disturbing reports that something out there is killing both demons and Wardens, Trinity’s safe world implodes. Not the least because one of the outsiders is the most annoying and fascinating person she’s ever met. Zayne has secrets of his own that will upend her world yet again--but working together becomes imperative once demons breach the compound and Trinity’s secret comes to light. To save her family and maybe the world, she’ll have to put her trust in Zayne. But all bets are off as a supernatural war is unleashed...

Review:
I was looking forward to reading this book. Before going into this one, I reread the Dark Element Series to prepare. I was really wondering how Zayne would be without Roth to over shadow him. And how he would move on from Layla. 
Let me tell you there where plenty of surprises in this book. Sometimes it felt like Zayne was a completely different person than the one we met in the Dark Element Series. 

What is this book about:
This book is set in the dark Element world, and I would recommend reading it before reading this book. It's set about 6 months after Every Last Breath. 
This time we focus on Zanye. For those of you who don't know him yet, Zayne is a tall, blonde, blue eyes, hot, gargoyle. You heard that right, he's a Gargoyle. Ten years ago gargoyles came out of hiding. They had a job to do, protect humans from demons. 
Zayne and two of his clansmen are visiting another gargoyle strong hold to ask for reinforcements. There he meets Trinity. To all the onlookers, she seems like a human who lives with Gargoyls. As strange as that is, it's not the weirdest things about her. Not everything is what is seems.
Trinity is strong, sassy, argumentative, stubborn and beautiful. She doesn't have it easy, she has something called Retinitis Pigmentosa, a degenerative eye disease which could cause her to go blind over time, but she doens't let that stop her from fighting. 
Strange things are happening in the Gargoyle world, something is attacking Gargoyles and demons alike. Attacks on the community Trinity lives in leave her shaking. She doens't want to stand on the side lines any longer, not when something she cares about deeply is put in grave danger. 
As Zayne and Trinity try and out snark each other at every turn, they do grow closer to each other. They can't deny the attraction and chemistry between them, but something is holding them back. 

What did I love about this book:
I love trinity, she is such a strong and sassy character. She really reminded me of Alex. I found it very insightful to learn more about Jennifer L. Armentrouts own eye disease because trinity has as well. I can't imagine what it must feel like, and how much easy things for us can be a huge struggle for others. I really respect Trinity, and Jennifer for their strength. 
I liked seeing more sides of Zayne, some sides really took me by surprise. He had some dickish moments I didn't expect him to have. 
The interaction between Trinity and Zayne where awesome. It was very funny. 

Overall this book had great chemistry, funny moments, and great mystery and suspense. My friend and I tried to theorize and guess what was going on and what would happen but it remained a guess. We couldn't be exactly sure, like you sometimes can be with other books. 

I know the books don't focus on Roth and Layle anymore but I loved seeing them, as well as Bambi and Cayman.
