This is Book One in Christine Warren's new Gargoyles
series.
Ella Harrow has a secret. The twenty-seven year old woman
works at
the Vancouver Museum of Art and History as the museum docent
and gift shop manager. Ella knows she is different, and in
order to keep others safe, she keeps to herself a lot. She
does everything she can to keep it locked up inside because
if released, people could die. After a museum fund raising
event, she is attacked outside on the terrace. Coming to
her aid is the seven foot tall stone Gargoyle that sits on a
pedestal on the terrace.
Kees is a 1,000 year old Guardian, and one of six more that
had been created to protect the word from the evil Seven.
When not in need, they sleep as statues. Only an
experienced warden is able to wake them. How a trained
woman was able to is something he intends to find out.
Having been created to have no feelings or emotions and
protect humanity, he is confused as to why he has this
uncontrollable need to protect this tiny woman.
Together Kees and Ella must try to figure out what has
happened to the rest of the Guild Organization and where the
Warden is for the Vancouver area. As the pair spends more
time together their feelings for each other get hard and
harder to ignore. With evil closing in on them, Kees and
Ella are in a race to locate the other Guardians in order to
awaken them. In addition, Ella needs to learn how to use
the magic that is inside her that she has always feared.
Meanwhile Kees has been struggling to figure out why he has
feelings for his little human when that has never happened
before.
I really enjoyed HEART OF STONE. I have always been a fan
of
Christine Warren's writing and this book is an excellent
start to a new series. I will certainly be looking forward
to the next book in this series which is due out August
2014.
From bestselling author Christine Warren comes a
thrilling new series about a young woman caught between a
rock and a hard place—between gargoyles and demons…
Ella Harrow is trying to carve out a normal life for
herself. Well, as normal as an art geek with psychic
abilities can hope for. As museum docent and gift-shop
manager, Ella is able to keep her distance from people—and
her powers in check—while surrounding herself with the
artifacts she loves. But how on earth is she supposed to act
normal when a thousand-year-old statue on the museum’s
terrace suddenly comes to life?
HEART OF STONE
Not your ordinary gargoyle, Kees has been asleep for eons,
waiting for a portent of evil to wake him from his slumber.
Kees isn’t a vision; he’s a bat-winged guardian created to
protect the world from the seven demons of the Dark.
Somehow, Ella triggered his reawakening. Maybe the demons
have been unleashed? Maybe his heart is finally ready to be
chiseled open? The fate of the world isn’t carved in
stone… yet.
