About this book

For centuries, he has remained a silent, stone prisoner, cursed for a failure that cost him everything. Trapped in his gargoyle form, he endures an eternity of isolation until a human woman wanders into his world. She is his only connection to reality, offering whispered stories and gentle touches that thaw his cold, hardened exterior. He is no longer just a statue; he is a beast awakening, and his obsession with her grows with every passing day.

This gripping monster romance masterfully blends the dark, brooding atmosphere of paranormal fiction with an intense, fated-mates connection. As the gargoyle breaks free from his stony prison, he discovers that his freedom comes with a dangerous price. His ancient adversary has returned, using the woman he has come to claim as bait. What follows is a high-stakes game of survival where the lines between protector and possessor blur.

If you are looking for your next addictive escape, this story delivers the perfect balance of steam, suspense, and supernatural longing. With undeniable chemistry and a protective, possessive hero, it is an essential read for anyone who loves creature features that prioritize heart as much as heat. Grab this tale and prepare to be enchanted.

I enjoyed this story. Just the right amount of romance to creepy to plot. Characters are likable and do have chemistry. The sex scenes are steamy and there is just more than one. The only thing I would recommend to readers is that thought all the books in this series could be read as stand alone, there is an overarching narrative and world plot so reading the series in order is very highly recommended. ) One person found this helpful

I enjoyed this book overall. It is my first gargoyle romance and one of my first monster romances. Maybe that's why I enjoyed it as much as I did? One reviewer said that Summer, the MFC, is boring. I both agree and disagree. She is somewhat skeptical and not terribly good at fighting perhaps, but utterly boring may be too strong. She's not the most interesting FMC ever, but I rather liked her. She did accept Zuriel relatively quickly, tho, so she's not stupid or skeptical to the point of total...

Buy it.

Battles

Ok it was a slow start and lots of smut- which was good I won’t smut shame but it was a little slow getting into story. But once the central conflict came around it got interesting (picked up) and was devastating after the battle. Good ending. 3 because there were still so many questions, what actually happened, did no one question the disappearance of the “model” and how did the ending just happen? I did love the end of story. )
