A can’t-miss read for fans of Deborah Harkness and Karen Marie Moning, The Angel Stone weaves a tale of ancient folklore and thrilling fantasy with a passionate love story that transcends time. For Callie McFay, a half-witch/half-fey professor of folklore and Gothic literature, the fight to save the enchanted town of Fairwick, New York, is far from over. After a hostile takeover by the Grove—a sinister group of witches and their cohorts—many of the local fey have been banished or killed, including Callie’s one true love. And in place of the spirit of tolerance and harmony, the new administration at Fairwick College has fostered an air of danger and distrust. With her unique magical abilities, Callie is the only one who can rescue her friends from exile and restore order to the school—a task that requires her to find the Angel Stone, a legendary talisman of immense power. Propelled on an extraordinary quest back to seventeenth-century Scotland, Callie risks her life to obtain the stone. Yet when she encounters a sexy incarnation of her lost love, she finds the greater risk is to her heart. As the fate of Fairwick hangs in the balance, Callie must make a wrenching choice: reclaim a chance for eternal passion or save everything she holds dear.Praise for The Angel Stone “Intelligently written and visually appealing . . . This story is a sheer delight.”—RT Book Reviews “Dark skillfully entwines the past and present, the mundane and magical, love and loss, to spin a beautifully nuanced and sensuous tale rooted in legend and lore.”—Booklist Praise for Juliet Dark “Dark’s letter-perfect gothic style is a satisfying tribute to previous gothic novels, and the paranormal elements, including incubi, fae, vampires, and witches, make this a stellar romance.”—Booklist, on The Demon Lover “Fast moving . . . should appeal to readers of Charlaine Harris’ Sookie Stackhouse novels.”—New York Journal of Books, on The Water Witch

"I just absolutely love this series. I like the witches and the succubus and the vampires and everything else that comes with!"
Amber Cooper
"The third installment of the Fairwick Chronicles picks up where <i>The Water Witch</i> has left off. The Grove and its cohorts have managed to close the door forcing many fairy folk to abandon not only the homes they have lived in for so long but also many loved ones. Even the members of the witch circle have abdicated over to the dark side for the Elvesgold. <br/><br/>And Callie has lost her true love in the process but not before he tells her that there is still another door. Mix in the vampires and the remaining members still left in Fairwick to try to find not only the door but the Angel Stone. <br/><br/>I loved this series. I have loved it since I first read <i>The Demon Lover</i>. From the first book, I have felt sorry for Callie because the first time she couldn't really love her demon lover and when she finally does, he dies. I have cried many times for her. <br/><br/>The only thing I didn't care was the end of this book. I felt it ended too abruptly like the author wanted to just see the end of the story and be done with it. Although I do admit that it allowed for a lot of imagination and creative license to play out in my head."
