Some people are good writers and are able to create a solid story with memorable moments and likable characters. Others are master storytellers and able to create new worlds full of thrills, chills, swoons, and gasps. For me, DB Reynolds definitely falls into the master storyteller category. Whenever I pick up a new book from her I always have a quiet conversation with myself before I start reading. It goes something like, "Don't get your hopes up. She couldn't possibly outdo her last 5-star book and the 5-star book before that and the 5-star book before that..." Well, you get the picture. I try not to get my hopes up in the event the book isn't a Grand Slam. However, I don't why I even have this conversation with myself anymore DB NEVER disappoints. I am always immediately immersed in the world she creates, never putting the book down until the words "the end." And wonderfully, Kato was no exception to this rule.
I will not provide a summary of the story because that would completely ruin the experience for readers. However, what I will say is that Kato and Grace, his lady love, were pure magic together. Kato felt a little different than Damian (the first book in the Stone Warriors series) to me because of how he was crafted. He got to "know" Grace in a fashion so when she set him free he knew her so their coming together was organic because it almost felt like a friends to lovers romance. I know, weird as it sounds, that it how it felt to me. Read it, you'll understand :). And, I adore the fact that Grace was not all that she seemed. She was equal parts nerd and "I don't need anybody to save me. I can save myself!" That's a common thread in all of DB's book that keeps me coming back for more. Her heroines are not wilting flowers. They are strong, determined, and smart.
There are several sweet moments in the story -- when Kato reunites with Damian and Nick are two of them. I got a little teary because it truly felt like long lost friends finding one another again. There are also total swoon-worthy and face fanning moment in the story as well. Another hallmark of DB's book. Let me just say that Kato and Grace made my reader SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIZZLE!
Kato was well-woven together and connected various aspects of Grace's life to Kato and to Nick and Damian. I appreciate how each story builds upon the other and the teaser at the end to Gabriel's story.... Dude! I kept trying to flip pages to read more. I cannot wait to see what happens there either!
I highly recommend this series to paranormal romance lovers. Don't delay in picking this one up.

One of the things I like most about Reynolds is that she writes the best female characters, except one who I can’t really stand to read about so even though I’ve read and re-read each of her books I avoid Rajmund like it has the plague. Grace was a wonderful character. She was strong, smart, perceptive, and flexible when it came to the weird/magic. I love reading about her loyalty to Kato and how she stood up to Nick and Damian when she thought he was being wronged. Grace’s interactions with Kato were gold too … she didn’t let him get away with anything and forced her way in when it came to helping. I admired her desire to set things right and go along with Kato even though it was a dangerous situation.
I really liked Kato and his character’s background. You would think that a character with it would be an evil character, but to me it showed a lot of strength and I liked him very much. He has the perfect amount of strength and vulnerability to him. One of the things I like most about this series is the comradery between Nick and his warriors. You don’t normally see that amount of emotion between guys in a book. It is all macho, macho stuff and showing that a guy can care along with be able to kick demon butt is a nice bit of freshness to this genre.
One of the best things about this book for me was the portrayal of demons. I mean, yes they were scary ugly, gross, and all that fun stuff. But for me that extra part where they rip out a weapon from their body to fight with was that much more awesome and added a nice twist to it all. I can’t think of another book where a demon does that, I’m thinking I might’ve read one but I can’t remember it right now. I was really interested by Kato’s explanation about the different circles and abilities of certain demons and look forward to reading more about that. I really like the world building Reynolds did when it came to magic use in the world though I’m still a little confused about the fact that if there is so little … or if it is so limited how is this stuff getting done?
The extra part in the epilogue looks awesome and I can’t wait for the next book.

I can get so wrapped up in this series it's scary.
I began D.B.'s writings with Cyn and Raphael & just kept on going till I ran out of books/series to read. (I hate it when I get caught up then I have to wait. Patience has never been my strong suit as you can tell.)
The Stone Warriors series well worth the wait. One thing I really value in my authors is, (actually it's 3 things) wit,humor and that most lovely of all sarcasm. D.B.'s writings feeds my needs wonderfully. Her characters are well enriched with all things I love. There are no weak titted characters in her world. The males are strong,powerful & yet have heart. Grace describes Kato as " a very attentive lover". The women are just as strong & powerful as their mates.
So pick any of her writings ( best to start from the beginning and really enjoy yourself) sit back, relax and prepare to have a great time. Talk later ~P~

Dare I say it, this might be better than the last one! The way Kato struggles to understand this new modern world is what I would have thought Damien in the previous book would also have trouble with, so this was refreshing and more apt. Although the POV's from Kato were interesting, they also seemed a little long winded at the start. I loved the chemistry between him and Grace, how gentle and loving he is with her. And the love scenes were hot and different to those in the last book. Really can't wait for the next one!

I can read this authors books all day....imaginative,exciting story lines...the stone warriors really grabbed my imagination...a great spin off from the Vampires...with finding that Nik wasn't just Nik
And it's great to hear Niks story entwined with Damon and Kato.
Good mix of good and evil..and good helping of romance..I can recommend these books .....

I always look forward to d b Reynolds books but this time I'm rather disappointed. I am not a fan of magic and it's all the way through the book. I lost interest and skim read the rest. For an expensive book it was a disappointment.
