I am a long time Green fan, specifically Tales from the Nightside, so when I saw the second this this series ( not the night side one but) I was still super pumped.

No disappointment here, this was another spectacular horror detective novel from Simon.
Another is this supernatural or is this just human cruelty at its worse?
When will we ever learn, sometimes we shouldn't put the pieces of a puzzle back together, at least with out very serious instructions..

The Holy Terrors are such a pair, I love them 😂.

I own this digitally now but I will be 100% purchasing this physically when it releases.

The stone circle has stood near Chipping Amesbury for centuries, moved only once to prevent demons and monsters from entering the world through magical portals between the stones. Now the stones have been moved back to their original location. The last stone is about to be put in place, horrifying the villagers. A tv crew is in town to film a documentary on the expected spine-chilling happenings. Enter the Holy Terrors, Bishop Alistair Kincaid, an expert on these circles, and actor Diana Hunt. Their previous experience with hauntings have made them the perfect pair to star in the tv production. Things quickly go wrong. Are unworldly creatures stalking them or is the danger closer to home?

I can’t categorize this entertaining series. Is it mystery, thriller, romance or horror? With an unusual plot, captivating characters, especially Kincaid and Hunt, Stone Certainty is compulsively readable. I can't wait for the Holy Terror’s next adventure! 5 stars.

Thank you to NetGalley, Severn House and Simon R. Green for this ARC.

STONE CERTAINTY is delightfully Book Two of Simon R. Green's engrossing series, THE HOLY TERRORS, in which an accomplished actress and a Church of England Bishop pit themselves (if often unwittingly) against the forces of Darkness, or at least, against the strange and seemingly unworldly. As an expert on Britain's Standing Stones, Bishop Alistair Reynolds is tasked to weigh in on a documentary featuring a local squire's renovation of a Stone Circle, surely dating back to prehistory, which had been inexplicably altered in 1920. Some of the locals object, believing the 1920 renovation blocked the ingress of monsters from outside our mundane world. Then deaths begin to occur. Will "Holy Terrors" Diana and Alistair uncover a simply human crime? Or is this evidence of "The Other Place": a dimension beyond our own where monsters exist, because the rules of physics no longer apply?
