Three massive stone gargoyles. Monsters all. And now I belong to them.
I didn't ask to be rescued. I was doing fine on my own, even if I had just lost my job, dumped my ex and taken a wrong turn down a dark alley.
So when Cararr thinks I need saving and sweeps me up in his huge claws, what am I supposed to do? Say no to this damaged, vicious and sweet as candy gargoyle who only wants to prove to his mates he's worthy of their love?
Mates who include Viriroz, one growly grump of a gargoyle, all dominant and possessive, and the sinful Garaz who looks at me like he wants to eat me. Whole.
These are powerful monsters with a dangerous job to do, protecting the human world from the things that slither in the dark, but they need a final female mate to complete their roost and produce their heirs.
All of which means I have to decide whether to stay with these delicious, feral males who love to share a bed and each other, or whether to condemn the rest of the world to the darkness.
But I have to make the choice because the war is coming and it might just rip us apart before we even begin.
01.29.2023: I got a copy for an ARC read and immediately jumped in! The beginning of it was mmm blah, but it needed to happen as it gives you a little insight into why our MFC is the way she is, and some of it was dry but at the same time, it was needed to see where she is standing mentally.
02.01.2023: Okay, so I finished, I can say all around this was an interesting and entertaining story. There were however things I didn't like, and I will lay those out after I give you a rundown of the whole thing.
- We start off with Lara and her getting fired, then she is hanging out at her house waiting for her friend Ivy to show up when she realizes she needs to take the trash out. While doing a simple mundane task she is taken after something in the shadows is spying on her. When she wakes up she is in the company of Gargoyles, three of them to be exact and they are all mated to one another. (I forget to chat about that from chapter 2) anywho, she freaks out rightfully so, and then throughout the story, she gets a little show. The three men start mating on one another, this was my first MMMF romance and I can say I liked it and am searching for more stories in this area. Further into the book, like chapters further we are told about a witch that can save one of the MMC from demonic possession. It was really cute, and he is happily saved, right after that two of the MMC's are kidnapped while the Alpha is out looking for them and Lara is being hunted by a rogue werewolf.
- After all of that, they are reunited oh wait! There is a sword, one that only gargoyles can use but somehow Lara can do it. Idk, anyways she uses this sword and then they are all saved. They head to the witch's house again, where Lara realizes her hair is blue.
Now, onto the things that didn't hit my fancy, the sexual language was not for me, I found it overwhelming and a bit mmmm much at times. It was mainly the words used in reference to certain areas. Parts of the writing I didn't like, there were a lot of descriptive words then period, and then another, and then one more before a sentence, but that being said, that is a personal pet peeve so yea does what you will that. Aside from that and the lapsing of information, one page said one thing then a few paragraphs later that statement was contradicted. It was rather confusing and slightly frustrating.
But all in all, I liked it, the story was fun, the spice was good, and the whole of the character-building was fantastic.
General reading rate: Three and a half out of five (But in good reads it will be marked with a four-star.)
Spice rate: Three and a half out of five (In good reads it will be marked a three only due to my personal cringing at times.)
Basically what I am saying is, go ahead and get on Kindle, get yourself a copy, and enjoy the gargoyle life! Well, that is when it is released on amazon.com on February 7th, 2023!
