Had a Lasting effect on me. :-)

Who'd of thought Gargoyles were Hott. Not me that's for sure. But I now stand corrected.
This was my first Gargoyle book but being a lover of PnR I thought I would give it a go. I wasn't disappointed.
Being turned to stone years ago Antares is trapped in his own body in a cave untill Irisa sets him free. The connection between them has always been there. Irisa has felt a pull luring her to this cave over the years where she played as a child but never understood why. Then one day she finds the beautiful creature cast in black Marble.
The Gargoyles are protectors of humans but are cursed by the Sun Turing them into statues if exposed to daylight.
Irisa isn't a normal human she's a Mooncaller an inheritance passed down from her mother. She doesn't understand what she is and she has to choose whether to trust this beautiful creature to help her embrace her Calling.
I loved this story it was different and kept me engrossed throughout. I'm hoping there are more books to come as some of the other Gargoyles and Characters were fascinating and I'd love to read their stories too.

Good read.

This was my first book by this author. The Lasting was a pretty good read. I liked the whole Gargoyle spin. This book is a lot different from other gargoyle books, which is good. I can see myself reading more of her work. If you haven't had a chance to pick up this book, you should.
