Secrets in the Stone - Radclyffe,
By Bunny (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Secrets in the Stone (Paperback)
The back cover reads: "Three women caught in the web of secrets and dark desires -Rooke Tyler lives a solitary life in a small town on the Hudson River, carving intricate headstones in an exclusive cemetery for the county's wealthy families. At night she pours her dreams and desires into the figures she sculpts - waiting for the woman she senses in the stone. Adrian Oakes knows there are things in life that defy rational explanation - she has spent her life avoiding casual contact with others, because sometimes what she feels draws her into a world of dangerous attractions and dark desires. Melinda Singer, a beautiful seductive art dealer, wants both women and will stop at nothing to have them. When fate brings the three together, passion and destiny ignite."

Enjoyable but... incomplete?,
By Wolfe, I.M. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Secrets in the Stone (Paperback)
I loved Rooke and Adrian, although I wasn't really convinced that Adrian had issues strong enough to play hard to get for so long. I also enjoyed the strange and devious Melinda but I feel like I've missed something.
I kept reading waiting for the issue Melinda to finally get resolved, thinking that something paranormal was going on (which would have been totally great). When it got too late in the book for it to be paranormal, I hoped that at least some explanation would come as to who/what Melinda is and what all the dreams and visions from the past and present meant. Nothing came. I finished the book feeling like I've totally missed something or that the author was going to go paranormal but decided not to. The book was ok but i find it too bad that Melinda was never explained. She had the potential to be a much more interesting character, especially concerning her relationship with Rooke and Adrian. But it's hard to get into that without giving away too much. 27 of 34 people found the following review helpful:

Paranormal - it's a secret,
By Cornelia - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Secrets in the Stone (Paperback)
Radclyffe sets up this novel in her usual great style, passionate lonely sculptor Rooke, rejected Adrian who's afraid to love, small upstate New York community and then adds Melinda, who's sexually greedy, an art dealer and possibly more than human?...I'm not sure. Is it a triangle..maybe. Is it paranormal? there are hints. But this arc never develops which is frustrating.
I adore Radclyffe, she writes great books. But "Secrets in the Stone" is a lesser book. There are hints of paranormal, but it never gets fully explored. This in turn takes a lot of time from Radclyffe's usual wonderful character development, so Adrian feels less fully realized than Rooke. As for Melinda, I just didn't like her, at all. I enjoy paranormal and I'm totally open to Radclyffe exploring the genre but "Secrets in the Stone" is still a bit of a mystery to me.. 19 of 26 people found the following review helpful:

Secrets in the Stone,
By FTLOH - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Secrets in the Stone (Paperback)
I am a big Radclyffe fan, and will probably buy anything she writes, but I just didn't get this one. I found myself too often trying to figure out what a sentence or passage meant, and before long I was skipping over sections. This one didn't hold my interest, and unfortunaely will not be in the re-read pile.
