A Review of Heart of Stone by Christine Warren

Heart of Stone is a somewhat new take on Urban Fantasy, if only in the sense that it involves gargoyles rather than werewolves, vampires or fairies. The plot itself is pretty standard: new magic user unaware of her abilities, bug strong Guardian (what gargoyles who fight demons are called) who wants to protect her but also rebels against his feelings for her. This book was pretty well-done, if not entirely original. Of course, it could be argued that very little new writing is original. But the author did a fine job of making the story interesting. The heroine was very strong, if a bit predictable, and the sex was hot and steamy, and not overdone. I would recommend this book for a fun read.
