Kees is a gargoyle, one of a group of supernatural guardians created to protect the world from the seven demons of the Dark. In an earlier age, he and his brother warriors defeated creatures and banished them. With their duty done, the guardians settled in to sleep until a new threat arose. So why on earth would he awaken to nothing more than a small female woman? Gargoyles are the strike force of demon control but Kees cannot see the threat. It certainly isn't coming from Ella, but something about her must have woken him from his sleep. She must be the key to uncovering his new mission. With her by his side, he begins to unravel of trail of clues that leads to only one conclusion: somehow, the portals he and his brothers had thought were sealed have begun to open.
I'm normally a fan of Christine Warren and have read and enjoyed her "Novels Of The Others" series. This book just didn't do it for me. I found myself skimming through it just to finish and hoping that it would get better. I found the heroine boring and the hero to be overbearing and cold, but then I guess he is made of stone. I even got where I skipped over the sex scenes completely to finish the book more quickly. I am disappointed because I've always enjoyed her stories in the past and found her characters funny and gratifying, but that was not the case with this book. I will not continue with this series.
