Book Review Vickie Taylor - Carved In Stone & Flesh And Stone

Hi
I have completed my first two novels by Vickie Taylor, Carved In Stone and Flesh And Stone. These are fantasy romance books set around a race of Gargoyles. The concept is fascinating. I became intrigued with the idea of gargoyles when I read Terry Pratchett's Disc World novels years ago where the gargoyles come to life at night and feed on unwary pigeons. Vickie Taylor's gargoyles are more sinister but have an unusual history of being given the task of saving mankind.
They masquerade as humans but are monstrous creatures in reality. They are either hideous or beautiful depending on your point of view and I suppose whether they are trying to save you or kill you.
The basic premise is well thought out and intriguing. I quite enjoyed the gradual disclosure of their background.
Each story seems to centre around a different main character who finds love. Not unlike the Sherrilyn Kenyon Dark Hunter series. As long as you are okay with the romance details they are a fun read.
