AN OLD FRIEND OF THE FAMILY… Alexandra Belarus is a struggling artist living in New York City, even though her family is rich in real estate, including a towering Gothic Gramercy Park building built by her great-great-grandfather. But the truth of her bloodline is revealed when she is attacked on the street and saved by an inhumanly powerful winged figure. A figure who knows the Belarus name… Lexi’s great-great-grandfather was a Spellmason—an artisan who could work magic on stone. But in his day, dark forces conspired against him and his, so he left a spell of protection on his family. Now that Lexi is in danger, the spell has awoken her ancestor’s most trusted and fearsome creation: a gargoyle named Stanis. Lexi and Stanis are equally surprised to find themselves bound to each other. But as they learn to work together, they realize that only united can they save the city they both love…

Mehso-so

It‘s just short of a pick for me but that could be because I‘ve been distracted. It‘s a decent urban fantasy and it looks like there‘s the possibility of a relationship of some sort between the MC and gargoyle (I read the descriptions for books two and three). The MC is kind of woe is me and it‘s a bit off putting because it goes on far too long. Her best friend, however, is kind of a badass. #GenCon2018

Getting back on track and got to some weird stuff in the book. I should finish today. So far, it‘s not a bad story and I‘d probably finish the series but right now I don‘t think I appreciate this enough to stand in line for an autograph. #GenCon2018

I spoke too soon. The potential bad guys have a name - not gonna say because that would be a spoiler. I will say there‘s a spellmason so that‘s gonna be some of the magic.

I was reading a Max Gladstone book and it wasn‘t keeping my attention so I switched to this one. There‘s a gargoyle and a secret association of some sort and I don‘t know who the bad guys are yet. This just might be a winner. #GenCon2018
