I really had no idea what to expect when I went into this story. I'll tell you a secret. I don't read blurbs or book summaries. *gasp* I know. I'm strange. But I don't like to know anything that could spoil the story for me. I'm all about discovery and figuring things out myself, and this was an amazing story for anyone who loves a great mystery that unveils itself gradually and keeps you guessing. First thing that shocked me, Alexis is not your typical teenager with typical problems that she's all melodramatic about. She. Killed. Her. Mom. Mind you, in self-defense, but this is something that is damn near impossible to live with. I sympathize and understand why her life has changed for the worst. I give the author mad props for not holding back on shocking elements. It's real, and I found that refreshing.Alexis's and Lucas's relationship, I admit, started off a little hot and heavy with that insta-love quality, but if you hang on till the end, all will be revealed, and I can't see any other way that they'd respond to each other. It makes sense. I kept trying to figure out the paranormal element. The author does a fantastic job of masking it, but leaves enough hints through tension-packed and romantic scenes that pulls it all together. And the ending was not what I saw coming! Full of romance, mystery, and a cool twist on mythology, Silver and Stone is must for the Paranormal Romance lover looking to devour their next read.
