A Kiss of Stone

De: Brenna Ash

Narrado por: Marc Biagi

He needed to remind himself he was only there to protect her....

By day, Gregor Magnuson is a bodyguard to the stars, responsible for keeping Hollywood’s elite safe. By night, when he’s not defending the mortal world, he’s tasked with capturing wayward demons and returning them to the otherworld where they belong. This gargoyle-human hybrid is part of an elite warrior guard, the Dark Moor Guardians. After letting his heart get in the way of a previous job that ended in disaster, Gregor swore he’d never make the same mistake again.

Krista Wallingford is Hollywood’s reigning scream queen and a hopeless romantic, who has no idea Supernaturals exist. When a rogue skin walker becomes obsessed with her, Gregor is hired as her new security detail. Krista has a long history of getting involved with the wrong guy and the relationships never end well. She suspects Gregor is one of those guys. Yet, she can’t deny the magnetic pull she feels the instant she lays eyes on her new bodyguard.

Gregor feels that pull as well, and he soon finds himself wanting to protect Krista for more than the lucrative money he’ll be paid. Could she become part of his world or will her newfound knowledge of a supernatural world be too much to take?

Brenna Ash creates a world with mortals and magical creatures of lore who live among them. The vivid descriptions of vampires, witches, fairies, gargoyles, and Skinwalkers live in the shadows of the mortal world. Their mandate is not to reveal themselves to humans. Immortals get tempted by the lives of humans, on occasion breaking the rules, and the council swiftly delivers their verdict on such behavior. Each of the five senses of the reader or listener gets quickly pulled in with realistic dialogue and an intriguing, action-packed storyline. The writing illustrates extensive research on the beings presented in the story.

Krista Wallingford, portrayed as a Hollywood Horror movie actress, doubts the existence of paranormal beings even though they are vital to the movie characters she plays. She goes to Florida to film her next box office hit, but Krista gets a bodyguard due to threats against her life before leaving California. Gregor Magnuson, her bodyguard, takes his job seriously, not personally, even though his client is hyper-attractive. He is a gargoyle-hybrid, half-human, tasked by the council of the Immortals to deliver the rogue Skinwalker. Even though the pair resists their attraction, Gregor's protection of Krista creates an intriguing dynamic.

Marc Biagi delivers a splendid rendition of this story. His accents are perfect and unwavering, with his smooth transitions from one to another. He punctuates the snappy dialogue with a perfect tone and pauses to accentuate the outstanding storyline. There are no issues with the audio.

The story will captivate paranormal romance fans and pull them into the possibilities. Long after the final sentence of A Kiss of Stone, a reader could wish that paranormal activity exists on some level.

Love the narrator!

The narration for this story is excellent and there's a lot of merit to having a wonderful voice keeping you company while doing dishes and folding laundry. I especially liked Marc Biagi's ability to do a terrific Scottish accent, at various levels- some characters were given more brogue than others, which takes skill to keep track of. I often chose stories based on knowing the narration will be great and Marc is someone to look for. The story was okay. Nice to be on a track to happy ending in the complexity of the modern world.

The narration was masterful.

It was super enjoyable to listen to, and the world created was unique. The narrator Marc Biagi’s command of the
voices a accents was outstanding.
