The Stone Survival by Debbie Cassidy

4.0

The Stone Survival (Gargoyles of Stonehaven Book 4) by Debbie Cassidy is a paranormal romance with lots of action and surprises. Cam once again has her worldview turned upside down as she discovers the real origin of the Graynites and the Sigma curse. Just when it seems things are dark she is reunited with her mate and discovers a family she didn't know existed. However there is a mole in the academy leaving Cam and her friends no idea who to trust and her life.in jeopardy. As they discover more about the faction they discover there is even more at risk. Will they be able to defeat the faction before it's too late and their world is destroyed.
I had some mixed feeling on this book. I felt bad for all the men Cam left her in wake like Levi, Curi, and Uberon. In general I like the characters and Cam. She always seems to find the positive and Hope to keep her going to her goals. I enjoyed watching Derek come into his own and the other characters that were able to complete a journey of self discovery in this series. I'm really hoping there will be some shootouts of this story with some of the other characters getting their own stories. I know Levi and Curi have theirs but I'm also hoping for something with Derek since there is the whole Fae situation hanging over him like a shadow. There was a lot of discovery is this book of the past and the truth of other characters. Some turned out not to be the villians I expected and some of the good ones turned out to be the evil ones. Lots of twists and surprises until the very end.
I really enjoyed this series but I wasn't thrilled with how some things ended. Cam got her HEA but somehow it felt empty to me. I was left with a kind of “now what?” feeling. The book was well written, I just wish a few things went a different way. However that is a personal feeling and speaks nothing to the story itself. It is an amazing story that kept me engaged and on the edge of my seat waiting for the next surprise. I will definitely be reading Levi and Curi’s story when it's released and can't wait to go back into this wonderful world filled with magic and excitement. If you enjoy stories with fated mates, found family, action. magic, and spice then The Stone Survival is a must read.
