Book Reviews of Heart of Stone (The Negotiator Trilogy, Book 1)
Book Review: Like Harry Dresden? Jilly Coppercorn? You won't hate this book.
Summary: 3 Stars
Heart of Stone is a good middle of the road urban fantasy paranormal investigator offering. I purchased this book based on Charles de Lint's favorable mention of it in one of his reviews in Fantasy & Science Fiction Magazine. (He rarely steers me wrong.)
This book was enjoyable, if not exactly fresh. She included, but didn't plagiarize, some of the my favorite themes of urban fantasy; A little Buffy/Angel romantic tension, a little Harry Dresden moving among the hidden Old Races living among us unnoticed, a little Jilly Coppercorn helping out those for whom society has little time, and a little more-to-be-revealed teasing.
You won't hate this book. You won't want your money back. You won't want the time you spent reading back. But you might not recommend it to your friends.
Summary of Heart of Stone (The Negotiator Trilogy, Book 1)
What secrets lie shrouded in darkness?Okay, so jogging through Central Park after midnight wasn't a bright idea. But Margrit Knight never thought she'd encounter a dark new world filled with magical beings -- not to mention a dying woman and a mysterious stranger with blood on his hands. Her logical, lawyer instincts told her it couldn't all be real -- but she could hardly deny what she'd seen . . . and touched.
The mystery man, Alban, was a gargoyle. One of the fabled Old Races who had hidden their existence for centuries. Now he was a murder suspect, and he needed Margrit's help to take the heat off him and find the real killer.
As they worked together to figure out who was framing Alban, Margrit discovered that this man with a heart -- and body -- of stone made her feel more alive than ever, And as the dead pile up, it's a race against the sunrise to clear Alban's name and keep them both alive . . .
