Stone Certainty
Author: Simon R. Green
I've been a big Simon R. Green fan for years. His Nightside series was my first journey into Urban Fantasy and I've been reading his stuff ever since then.
Stone Certainty is the second book in the Holy Terrors series. The books are shorter reads (sort of like the Gideon Sable or the Ismael Jones series) with a supernatural feel.
The duo of Bishop Alastair Kincaid and Actress Diana Hunt are once again at the scene of supernatural events. This time, they have traveled into the English countryside to attend the setting of the final stone into a stone circle. The circle was damaged and dilapidated, and a local landowner decided to reposition the stones back into their original formation (against the warnings from locals, of course).
Odd things start happening the minute the last stone is settled into position. Has the project let loose the powers of hell?
I enjoyed this second story in this series! Alastair and Diana make great main characters. The investigating and the ending are still a bit Scooby Doo, but the stories are very entertaining!
I listened to the audio book version (Blackstone Publishing, narrated by Tim Bruce, 6 hrs 15 minutes). Tim Bruce did a great job of narration and brought the story alive. The plot kept my attention from start to finish. I wasn't sure what the ending was going to be......but was satisfied with it once it all played out.
Moving on to book 3 -- Which Witch? Woot!!
