Synopsis (Goodreads):
For centuries I have suffered.Thoughts on A Gargoyle's Delight: A protector trapped in his stone form who's awakened from his long sleep by a woman who knows nothing of the supernatural world around her. YESSS! Just to be clear, this is exactly what I was in the mood for and it hit the spot in a big way.
Solidified and silenced, all because I failed to destroy what I was created for.
Except now, after so long… There is a female.
One who always seems to be by my side.
Day after day.
Night after night.
She talks to me. Touches me. Tells me things. She shares stories of a world I no longer know. She is a reprieve from my punishment. A sweet delight. She liberates me from my solitude.
But when I rise, my adversary seizes his opportunity, and she’s caught between us.
He only wants her to get to me.
She isn’t his.
And I’ll do anything to protect what’s MINE.
When Summer accidentally (on her part, but kind of on purpose on Zuriel's part since Zuriel gave her his name and sort of coaxed her into awakening him) awakens Zuriel from his centuries long stone sleep, she's tossed head first into the deep end of angels and demons and monsters and...she's doesn't exactly have a lot of help figuring things out. I mean, Zuriel does his best to help her, but it's kind of crummy that she was made to deal with the big things happening on her own. Seeing how the demon plaguing Zuriel has his sights set on Summer, the lady has a lot to deal with.
To be fair, Zuriel does what he can to protect her and try to help her figure things out. Being stuck in his stone form during the day limits what he's able to do. He's also a product of another time and another species, so he sometimes does things that are questionable by Summer's standards. That said, everything he does is meant to protect her (except maybe coaxing her into saying his name, but the demon was already sniffing around when that happened, so I choose to think that was part of his protective thing also) and he's fiercely dedicated to that purpose.
A demon who infects those around him, a town under the influence, a protector who will do just about anything to keep his special someone safe, and a lady who has to learn about this new world she's been thrust into before it swallows her whole. Kind of literally. *thumbs up*
