I read the blurb and I was sucked in. A gargoyle that comes to life to protect a woman?

I don’t think I paid attention to the fact this was a novella, which means the pace accelerated quickly. Very steamy! The progressions all worked for me, and I like the premise. A goth nightclub that hides more than your average patron.

Things that made me raise my eyebrows: a gargoyle who looks like Fabio with a French accent. Okay, I can roll with it. Toward the end when she assumes he didn’t return to stone. Seems as if her impending danger might have recalled him, but again, I can roll with it. I enjoyed the story. It was a quick read and the pacing moved well.

One place that took me out of the story - the epilogue. Danton talks about how he uses his wings to travel. So when they go from Boston to Paris, that was my assumption until he asks if she wants to fly and she’s suddenly afraid. Then he asks if she’s ever flown in a plane. How did they get there if those two options weren’t accessed?

Overall, a fun read, and I still love the way she morphed the gargoyle.
