Stone Dead

The Stonegars #2

by J. Hali Steele

Etah Dane is finally free and she is hell-bent on vengeance.

Cursed by a witch, she spent twenty-five intolerable years locked in her rock hard shell—aware of everything. Etah is Stonegar, a statue created using pieces from mythical Stonehenge. Like all of her kind, she’s proud of her constant state of arousal and her insatiable sexual appetite. One man who mysteriously watched, and sometimes caressed her stony form, set her blood on fire. Etah’s body aches to know him intimately.

Slander Weldon is a sculptor who experiences a frightening and life changing event. He’d unwittingly created a monster. Even his male lover, Grant Rawlins, didn’t believe him. Then he met Etah Dane. Not only does she know the truth, she stirs a latent and uncontrollable desire in him. Slander wants to have Etah—and he wants Grant to watch.

Can they survive Etah’s consuming need for sex and revenge—or will it tear their lives apart?

This was a new to me author until I read book 1, I can say that this was a great addition to the series. I was able to get most of the questions I had lingering around. They are all still very vigorous but putting that aside the history was very interesting with a dynamic and unique concept. 3 1/2*
