House of Stone

A Magic City Story, Book 2

By: T.K. Thorne

Narrated by: Lia Frederick

The second book of the Magic City Stories. Witches and warlocks abide in Birmingham, Alabama, in three ancient Houses—Rose, Iron, and Stone. They arrived over a century ago to draw their powers from the abundant ores beneath Red Mountain. Rose Brighton, a Birmingham police detective, is the last witch of House of Rose. A terrifying encounter with House of Iron has mentally crippled her best friend. Rose battles to control her own abilities and the supernatural attraction that pulls her to a mysterious, handsome warlock. When magic kicks in at the scene of her first homicide, she learns that her partner—the mentor and friend she depends on—is lying to her, and she is on her own. Unraveling the murder entwines Rose in a web of greed and profit. Not only do countless lives depend on Rose's skills as a detective, the fate of a unique race of people facing extinction also rests on her shoulders...and some of them are determined to kill her.

Second book in series is much better

I found the first book in the series slow to the point that I thought of stop listening to it several times. I just couldn’t get into the characters. This book is much better full of action and suspense. I enjoyed Ms. Frederick’s performance much better this time too.

Intriguing story. Hard to put down!

Love the story and the descriptions. The author really paints a vivid image of what is happening. I love the narrator. She really makes all the characters come to life. Looking forward to listening to the third book.
