Description

Gargoyle shifter Roman is on high alert as he patrols from a Boston rooftop.

When a blast of dark magic reaches him, he tracks a beautiful, mysterious woman. 

Is she in danger? Or is she dangerous?

What he uncovers is far more shocking.

Following in her dad's footsteps, Larissa became a cop. But she has a secret. She can sense things before they happen–a curse that torments her.

She meets Roman while out with a friend. He’s intriguing and hot. Maybe a fling is just what she needs.

Until he blindsides her with the truth about her abilities.

And she discovers he’s hiding dark secrets. Is he some kind of monster?

When a formidable foe threatens them, can they move beyond their suspicions? If they can’t find a way to work together, the city they’ve vowed to protect could fall…

    Great start to the series - the book isn’t a complete cliffhanger per se, however does set it up for a continuation of the story. Enough so that does intrigue me to read on. The female lead is strong and confident enough but also has some insecurities making her feel real, relatable. Being a cop also lends credence to her taking charge and jumping into action. Never read anything with gargoyles and this was a fun start. The depiction of them being protectors and needing to be in Boston flows well and I liked the tidbits of Boston in there as well. Looking forward to the next book in the series.
  • Great story, can’t wait to read the next

    Roman is a shifter but he also has all of the human emotions and hang ups. I like that Larissa is special too, she knew something was going on but didn’t know why. Their coming together is not all hearts and roses, in fact it is a train wreck, but eventually they figure things out. After one heck of a battle with demons. Even though their story continues you can see their HEA is there. But don’t you want to kill some more demons with them, oh yea.

    Great story! I love gargoyles, especially the ones with goofy faces! Larissa and Roman make a good team… she’s a human cop and he’s a gargoyle protector (same as a cop). Larissa steps out of her comfort zone for the night with her friend Janie. Good things happen - both find a gorgeous man to spend the special night with. Then things go bad and Larissa can actually see the gargoyles and demons! Roman and his group fight, Larissa refuses to sit in the sidelines and the fight ignited! More bad stuff happens but during it all Roman and Larissa connect and it’s enough to help save the day! The gargoyles win and Larissa and Roman get to know each other. Sparks explode and we’re off to book 2! Great story… I received this book from the author as an ARC in exchange for my honest review…. Hope you like it!
  • A short hot read

    A cop, a gargoyle, & a blood moon. What could go wrong? This was a short, fast paced, steamy read.
