Adel's Purr - Sui Lynn I'm not sure how I feel about this story. The concept is a nice, engaging one especially since there aren't many stories out there revolving around gargoyles.

I liked how Evan has hidden earth elemental powers and the way he attracts so many gargoyle friends that are unquestioningly loyal. The presence of Adel was interesting because he's built much differently than other gargoyles and can act in a human way. I've always considered gargoyles as.... well, gargoyles; scary looking dog-like things with wings. In this story, gargoyles can be any shape and size, any creature that's a statue really as long as they were built in a certain way.

The book is quite interesting when it comes to details. I enjoyed reading how each gargoyle differed from an another, the post apocalyptic and futuristic elements to the story were extremely captivating as well as how the world is now ran by the Church and such.

This is why I'm not sure how I feel about the story. I enjoyed it but I was also frustrated. At first, I was annoyed at the constant need to bring up Father Michael's lust over Evan. After the fifth statement, I grew tired of it. Then there was how mushy the story turned with overly used "I love you", "my own", "my maker" which grew annoying. On top of that, there were a few inconsistencies regarding what was said within a few letters in the beginning of the story and what was told by Evan in the end. Finally, the story just seemed to drag half way through. I was struggling for a while trying to get interested again but eventually the ending caught my attention.

In the end, I'm going neutral with this one. I think it will appeal to some while not to others because I did like some aspects of the story but others just frustrated and annoyed me. The concept is great, though, and the world really is interesting so I'll continue with the series.
