- bioText: Christine Warren is the New York Times bestselling author of The Others series, including Wolf at the Door, Big Bad Wolf, Born to Be Wild, Prince Charming Doesn't Live Here, and Black Magic Woman. Born and raised in coastal New England, she now lives as a transplant in the Pacific Northwest. (She completely bypassed those states in the middle due to her phobia of being landlocked). When not writing, she enjoys horseback riding, playing with her pets, identifying dogs from photos of their underbellies, concocting all sorts of yummies (both liquid and solid), and, most of all, reading things someone else had to agonize over.

Warren (Hungry Like a Wolf) launches a series with this solid paranormal romance. After museum docent Ella Harrow is accosted by a sleazy philanthropist, she teasingly chides a grotesque gargoyle statue for not protecting her. It springs to life, startling them both. Kees, a member of the Guild of Wardens, is puzzled to be woken from his magical slumber by a human with untrained magical abilities. Ella is drawn to Kees’s gorgeous new form as he explains the danger of the seven demons of the Dark, but problems quickly overshadow lust: the police search for the missing statue, Kees encounters dead ends in finding his team, and inexplicable events foreshadow encroaching evil. The sexual attraction between Kees and Ella is palpable, and readers will love watching the logical Kees fight the concept of emotions as Ella blossoms from a guilt-laden hermit into a gutsy heroine. Despite some repetition, this is a clever, wry tale that bodes well for future installments.
