Synopsis
Beau Bailey is suffering
from a post-break-up meltdown when she
happens across a knife in her local park and takes it home. Less than a week later, the new boy in school has her trapped in an alley; he’s sprouted horns and is going to kill Beau unless she hands over the knife.
Until Eighteenth-century gargoyle, Jack, shows up to save her.
Jack has woken from a century-long slumber to tell Beau that she’s unwittingly been drafted into a power struggle between two
immortal races: Demons and Gargoyles. The knife is the only one in existence capable of killing immortals and they’ll tear the world apart to get it back. To draw the warring immortals away from her home, Beau goes with Jack in search of the mind-bending realm known as the Underworld, a place where they’ll hopefully be able to destroy the knife and prevent all hell from breaking loose. That is, provided they can outrun the demons chasing them.

In Stone by Louise D. GornallMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Thank you to Jean bookNerd tours and the author for providing me with a copy in exchange for a honest review
When I first read the blurb for this story, I thought wow this sounds really awesome, and better yet, it looks like it’s a standalone, well let me tell you now, its not a standalone, it cant be expecially after the ending.
I really enjoyed the world building, the character building. I thought the writing style was really easy to read, and wasn’t over describtive but was just right.
It was my first book by this author and I definitely will keep an eye out for more books.
This book starts with Beau the lead female in a park. She hears something and when she investigates she finds a knife. This knife has the ability to kill immortals, so naturally they want it back.
Beau finds herself in the middle of a huge situation that makes some things go haywire inside of her. When the truth is revealed about who and what beau is, it was a jaw dropper, I didn’t see it coming.
Along the way Beau meets Jack, he is a gargoyle and protects her, but he doesn’t tell her all of the truth, beau is not happy when it comes out.
They go on a journey to get rid of the knife and that is full of peril, heartbreak.
All in all this book was really really awesome. It draws you in from the first page and makes you want to keep reading it. I cant wait to find out what happens next.
