The Beautiful and the Cursed

You had me at gargoyle, Page Morgan! What a concept, gargoyles protecting their human charges who live in the houses the adorn. They come out of hibernation when the house is occupied and are tied to the humans that live there.Ingrid and Gabby move into such a house in Paris in the 1800's. They are going to be reunited with Ingrid's twin brother Grayson, who had arrived weeks ago. But when they get there, they find that Grayson is missing. Ingrid is determined to find her twin and in her quest, meets up with some interesting people. Not to be left behind, Gabby joins the search and meets the infuriating Scotsman, Nolan. But it is Ingrid's connection to Luc that really guides the story. Luc is the gargoyle sworn to protect the family as long as they are living in the house. It is strictly forbidden for gargoyles to have a romantic attachment to humans. Luc is quickly forced to reveal his true self to Ingrid and instead of running in fear, Ingrid is fascinated with Luc's gargoyle form. Luc is drawn to her in ways he has never experienced. It could cost him his life. As Ingrid and Gabby search for a way to find their brother, they find out about secret societies, demons, angels and the dark and dangerous place that holds Grayson. Ingrid discovers she has mysterious powers of her own and her true nature is a puzzle to both the gargoyles and the Alliance alike. Only Axia, a fallen angel, knows what she truly is and will stop at nothing to possess her. This was a GREAT story filled with fabulous characters, supernatural wonders and a fast paced storyline, unresolved of course! I, for one, will never look at gargoyles the same again. My heart belongs to Luc and I look forward to meeting up with him again in the sequel, which can't come out soon enough for me! Happy reading my friends!
