Over one million Wattpad readers have made Lailah a sensation!

The girl knows she’s different. She doesn’t age. She has no family. She has visions of a past life, but no clear clues as to what she is, or where she comes from. But there is a face in her dreams – a light that breaks through the darkness. She knows his name is Gabriel.

On her way home from work, the girl encounters an injured stranger whose name is Jonah. Soon, she will understand that Jonah belongs to a generation of Vampires that serve even darker forces. Jonah and the few like him, are fighting with help from an unlikely Allie – a rogue Angel, named Gabriel.

In the crossfire between good and evil, love and hate, and life and death, the girl learns her name: Lailah. But when the lines between black and white begin to blur, where in the spectrum will she find her place? And with whom?

Gabriel and Jonah both want to protect her. But Lailah will have to fight her own battle to find out who she truly is.

This is another highly anticipated book that I have been waiting for. It did not disappoint me.

Plot: This plot is very mysterious in the beginning yet very fast paced. I can’t even begin to tell you how much I adored this book. The movement of the characters lives as well as the mysterious past of Lailah its not long before things begin to heat up. Believe me when I say that this plot line will have you hooked in no time.

Lailah: I think the history behind Lailah and those around her play a big part. Her future is so set on what she is and who she is that the reader can’t help but be engrossed in solving the puzzle. There are other minor characters who also play some big roles in her life. Some are from her past that bring up some heavy emotions.

Love Triangle: I haven’t read a book that has a good love triangle. If anything, I had problems with Lailah because she kept going back and forth.  It was like one minute she was set on one guy and the next she is not. I will give her the benefit of the doubt that something always came up so she back off but really Lailah fight for who you want and stick with it. Both guys do have a lot to offer and I’m hoping that no matter who she chooses it will only make her future brighter.

Ending: The ending is amazing. The reader is left with a cliff hanger that leave you WANTING THE NEXT BOOK NOW!!

Go and read this book. If you enjoy good vs evil stories this is one that you want to add to your shelf. Lailah is a dramatic story that entices the reader till the last page!

I give it 5 BITES!

    I have to admit to being nervous about the love triangle in this one Savy! The fact that Lailah goes back and forth a number of times I know is going to frustrate me, but I’m excited for the paranormal aspect of this story:)

      There is a love triangle – and it is equal parts romance and fantasy I would say… but what I would also say, and what I am starting to hear/ read from reviews, is that the love triangle is very just, and that when you get to the end, you understand why – it’s not so much a backing and forthing of ‘I can’t choose’ it’s actually fundamental to Lailah’s growth (each guy respectively) but it shall all make sense 🙂 Hope you enjoy it 🙂 xxx

  2. Oh no! Cliffie? Still you loved it so I so need to read this one. Not liking the triangle, but hopefully it will come out well in the end. Great review!
