I can tell you that this book was better than the first and I went straight to the third after! Lucy continues to work with her Dad while working on her relationship with Marcus. Of course we have more drama come in when Marcus’s parents come into town on a mission while trying to say for another reason. Lucy believes this will put more drama with Marcus, while Nannying Dylan’s siblings, keeping up with school, and keeping all friendships in line. I thoroughly enjoyed this book in the series. Good job Pauline!! 🙂

Book 2! Well it’s definitely been interesting to say the least! I’m still debating which book I liked more, despite knowing book 3 is next. In saying that I love them both! It had a few moments where I actually laughed out loud. The Girl and the Gargoyle by Pauline Gruber takes us further into Lucy’s story. Dylan and Jude are definitely my favorite characters. Lucy is actually quite annoying at times and all Marcus does is brood. There’s a war coming and it’s time for training to prepare. Jude is being hunted by a protector, a gargoyle, who just happens to be Marcus’ father. On top of the fact the threat of Seamus still remains. Getting deeper into the author’s world, I want to be part of it! I can’t wait to get my hands on book 3 to continue this series!

The third and final installment in this YA Paranormal Romance Series, The Girl and The Demon, takes us to the depths of hell. Lucy’s BFF, trying to save Lucy, accidentally summons Lucifer, the most powerful devil in the realm. With elaborate storytelling, astronomical, unforgettable twists, and complex characters this series will stay in your mind long after you close the cover on book three. This story really brings the series to a full completion and while I would love to see Lucy have a continuing story later on, yet I am very pleased with the unpredictable outcome of this book. This is officially going on my TO BE READ AGAIN list! Thank you Pauline Gruber for bringing us such a unique paranormal coming of age story!

The second installment in this paranormal, romantic novel full of mystery, intrigue and suspense, The Girl and The Gargoyle takes the reader deeper into the mystical world that Lucy finds herself thrown into. The complexity of the characters in this novel really makes it seem as if they are close friends rather than book friends. I thought the first book would be my favorite YA paranormal romance of the year, but I have come to the conclusion that this series will be my favorite YA Paranormal Romances of the year. These are not stand alone novels you really need the information in each one to move forward, but you won’t regret picking up this series. I am heading into book three and cannot wait for what I am sure will be the thrilling conclusion to this series!

I give The Girl and the Gargoyle: YA Paranormal Romance (The Girl and the Raven Book 2) by Pauline Gruber, 4 stars. **This review may contain spoilers from book 1.**
Wow, this series just keeps getting better. Lucy is still struggling with her relationship with Marcus, but that is really the least of her worries. There is so much more action in this book and we meet even more characters to make everything that much more interesting. Lucy has doubts about almost everyone, but she still has a good heart and firm beliefs on what she should do. She really grows more in this book and she is what makes it so good. Of course, the secondary characters make it even better. Her “family” loves her and does what they can to help her. There are plenty of other great characters you won’t soon forget on both the good and evil sides.
Again, the story is fantastic in this book. I quickly picked this book up after book one and could not put it down. The author weaves such a captivating story. At the heart, it is good vs evil, but who is good and who is evil? You are asking yourself that the whole time.
If you are a fan of YA Paranormal Romance or Urban Fantasy, this book is for you. I do recommend reading book one first so you have a better understanding though.

The Girl and the Gargoyle is book two in The Girl and The Raven series by Pauline Gruber. In book one, we were introduced to Lucy Walker. Lucy had just lost her mom and had moved in with her uncles in her grandmother’s old house. We were also introduced to Lucy’s neighbor Marcus and Lucy’s high School friend Dylan. Lucy made the startling discovery that she was half-witch and half-demon. She also discovered her long lost father, who turned out to be a demon.
Book two quickly picks up where book one left off and does not disappoint throughout. This is another page turner as we learn more about Lucy. Lucy is now dating Marcus who happens to be a gargoyle. Lucy’s father, Jude, is a demon. As much as Lucy wants to get to know her father, she does not love him or trust him. However, Jude forces her to spend time with him so he can train her in how to use her supernatural skills and abilities.
The love triangle between Lucy, Marcus and Dylan intensifies. Dylan is no longer trying to hide his emotions for Lucy and Lucy is finding it hard to resist the feelings that she is having for Dylan. Something that becomes even more challenging because they spend a great deal of time together training at Jude’s house. This creates tension and conflict between Lucy and Marcus. Lucy is head over heels in love with Marcus and doesn’t want to lose what she has with him, so she tries to ignore her feelings for Dylan.
Marcus, who has grown up without a mother of his own, has his life suddenly thrown into a tailspin when his long-lost mother shows up. Marcus’s mother, Camille, begs Marcus for forgiveness and tells him she wants to be part of his life. Lucy finds it difficult to believe that Camille’s intentions are true and fears that she is there to hurt Marcus. Lucy also feels that Marcus might fall for his mother’s lies and leave her. It isn’t long before Marcus finds out his long-lost father is also back. When it comes to light that his father has come to Chicago with the intention of killing Lucy’s father Jude the battle between good and evil intensifies. Lucy is conflicted and unsure who to trust and Lucy and Marcus find themselves pitted on opposite sides of the battle between good and evil. As if things aren’t bad enough, Lucy soon discovers that if Jude dies, then she will also die. Marcus vows to keep Lucy and her father’s safe no matter what. Lucy wants to help so she tries to devise a plan to save not only Jude but herself and all her loved ones. In doing so, she calls in the most unlikely of allies.
The Girl and The Gargoyle did not disappoint from start to finish. It had everything a reader could be looking for. The book contained great characters and a supernatural world. I really enjoyed reading about Lucy and how her skills and strength developed and were honed throughout. We’re also introduced to more characters while getting to know the main characters a lot better. It contained gargoyles, witches, demons, and protectors. Friendships were forged and friendships were broken. It was steeped in romance as the love triangle intensified between the three main characters. Families were reunited and families were torn apart. Alliances were formed and alliances were broken. The battle between good and evil raged on. I highly recommend book two and can’t wait to start book 3, The Girl and The Demon!

This second book in this series leaves off with the first as Lucy comes to terms with her father and maybe he’s not all that evil for a demon that is. But what about her other half, the witch side of her bloodline, it hasn’t had it’s awakening yet and what will happen when it does. In this book we’re introduced to some new characters and new dimensions of the characters from the first book. First off, we finally get to meet Marcus’ parent when they come back into town, but their ulterior motives arise when they meet Lucy for the first time. As Marcus’ father lets the news slip about coming to town to kill Jude Lucy is faced with her own mortality. Now Marcus must put his hatred for Jude and Dylan aside in order to protect Lucy again except this enemy is his own blood. Add in some surprise characters that may tip the scales, but which side will come out on top? The next step in every great relationship is meeting the parents but did Lucy and Marcus bite off more than they could chew? This book should be on everyone’s must read list right after the first book in this series, they are that good!

The Girl and the Gargoyle by Pauline Gruber is a fab five-star read. This is number two in The Girl and the Raven series and I would say its best to read them in order as this does build on the last story, in that one we met a few characters, in this one we get to meet more. So many more, and so much more angst in this one. There are parts that not everyone will love, but I really love it. Lucy takes us on a wild ride with this one.

Pauline Gruber did NOT hold back with the second instalment in this series! Lucy’s character grows into who we hope she’s going to be even more and the story keeps giving us that thrill. I seriously cannot get enough of this series and I couldn’t recommend it more. The writing, the plot, the flow, all of it just works so well and has us as readers falling for every line! Don’t walk, run, get the books, read them all, and question how this story isn’t far beyond Young Adult categories across the globe. This book is one I wish I had read as a teen, and as a mom, I’m here for it just as much!

Book 2 was just as amazing as the first. This tale is told just as immaculately, and still just as many twists and turns. Lucy is dating Marcus and slowly starting to come into her own. Still getting to know her father Jude and adjusting to her lifestyle you will find that just when things hit a calm something big comes about just as quickly. Book 2 will have you guessing and page turning quickly as Lucy and her delightful cast of characters continues on in this super fun tale.

This book was another fast paced, adventure filled, page turner. I am really enjoying these books. Lucy really has a long way to go to understand who she is and what she can do. But reading about how she stands up for herself and her friends all while trying to live a normal teenager’s life, really shows what type of person she is. Figuring out all the things she needs to do and still keeping it all together. She stands up for her friends and really cares. The problems that she faces, she really thinks thought what needs to be done and how to get it done. I really can’t wait to see what lucy has in store next. Reviewed by @jennifer3343

The Girl and the Gargoyle brings us back into the world of Lucy, half demon, half witch. Lucy once again has her hands full: dating Marcus, a gargoyle, dealing with her father and his high expectations, and trying to stay alive. Jude, her father, is making her life miserable, wanting her to focus on her demon training above all else. The second in the Girl and the Raven series, this book is just as good, if not better, than the first one. Lucy is a likeable character who is growing as the story continues. Dylan is by far my favorite character. Reading the development of the relationships is great, and the story has several twists and turns along the way. This one was hard to put down!

Boy, Book 2 did not disappoint!! I love this book and series! Definitely read book 1 before diving into book 2. Lucy’s father, Jude, wants Lucy to train with him so she can use her demon powers. In the story, Lucy just wants to be with Marcus, but Marcus’ mother has other plans and would like Marcus to join their gargoyle clan. There is so much to this story I would love to share, but do not want to give out any spoilers and I love it. Demons, gargoyles, witches with twists and turns. Truly fabulous!

I enjoyed the second installment of Pauline Gruber’s series about Lucy and Marcus. This series has it all, love, adventure, drama, witches, gargoyles, and demons. I found myself lost in Pauline Gruber’s intense world and loved it. This series is really good and I look forward to reading the next one.

The Girl and the Gargoyle (The Girl and the Raven Book 2) by Pauline Gruber was a great addition to this series. Ms. Gruber really grabs her readers attention in the beginning and doesn’t let go of it until the very last page. She brings back the great characters from book one,as well as some great new additions and while I love Jude, I really loved reading mire about Dylan in this second installment. This book has so much to offer including teenage angst, a love triangle, drama and more. Personally I can’t wait for the next installment in this series to see what happens with Lucy and all of our other beloved characters.

The story of Lucy Walker continues in The Girl and the Gargoyle. Half witch half demon girl dating a gargoyle and living with her uncles. It is safe to say her life is very complicated. I very much am enjoying all her adventures as she learns.

Her father Jude is trying to make a relationship with her and Marcus’s family comes to try to get him back into the family…oh and to kill Lucy’s father! Lucy will DIE if they succeed! Combat trading, increasing powers and trying to stay alive. Just another day in Lucy’s life! Wait until you see who she brings in to help! Read this book! It is such a perfect YA series!

The Girl and the Gargoyle: YA Paranormal Romance by Pauline Gruber is the second book in The Girl and the Raven book series. I highly recommend reading the first book in the series before this one. The story of Lucy continues as she learns more about her powers, trains with her father Jude, and grows closer to her boyfriend Marcus. I enjoyed the first book but this one was even better. The characters and the story are really compelling. I look forward to reading more from this series and from this author in the future.

I was a big fan of book one, but The Girl and the Gargoyle is even better! Pauline Gruber has outdone herself on this one. Completely unpredictable, I loved the twists and turns that keep you guessing what’s going to happen next. Continuing on from the first book, the mystery around Marcus continues to grow in this book and keeps you hooked, as well as the relationships that Lucy forms with both Jude and Dylan. The way the author has created the atmosphere ready for book 3 is honestly genius, and I cant wait!

In the 2nd Installment of Pauline Gruber’s series, The Girl and the Gargoyle, Lucy and Marcus take us on a wild ride.
Those who’ve read Book 1, The Girl and the Raven, will be familiar with the main players, and we meet a few more along the way.
I enjoyed the evolution of relationships and the tests our main characters faced with the introduction of Marcus’s birth family. Loved the parallels to be found.. even though this is a YA Paranormal setting, the same divisiveness/drama can be found in almost any family with teenagers.
Filled with adventure, hidden agendas; the ties of friendship and loyalty are tested!! A great read full of witches, demons and gargoyles, Good vs Evil.. but which side is the good, and which is evil? Questions that need answers keep the pages turning! Can’t wait for Book 3!!

The Girl and the Gargoyle by Pauline Gruber is the second book in The Girl and the Raven series. Just like the first book, which I recommend reading first, this one draws you into the story from the first page. I did not want to put it down. Continuing from the end of the last book Lucy is still living with her Uncles in Chicago and dating Marcus, a half-demon half-gargoyle. Trying to live her life as a teenager of the supernatural world is no easy feat especially when trying to keep her secrets from school friends. Jude, her demon father, has forced her to start training to harness her demon powers. Her boyfriend’s family is in town with their own agenda that will affect everyone. More adventure, love, friendship, hidden agendas and twists to keep you reading. I cannot wait to continue the story to find out what happens next for Lucy in book three.

Gargoyles, demons and witches Book two of the series and the drama continues. Loved being back with Lucy, Marcus and Dylan. This takes off straight from book one and what a roller coaster of action and emotion. Lucy is faced with so many choices and sometimes everything isn’t what it seems, especially when demons and gargoyles are involved. Her relationships are questioned time and again and I was so frustrated with Marcus and Dylan. Can’t wait for book three – need some closure now.

I am new to this series. I really loved every part of it. Gruber is a mastermind when it comes to writing. I was thinking it was like a Twilight feel before reading, but was I wrong. The characters and plot had me very much entertained. I couldn’t put it down. I can’t wait to see what happens next.

The Girl and the Gargoyle: YA Paranormal Romance (The Girl and the Raven #2) by Pauline Gruber
This is the second book by Gruber that I’ve read. The Girl and the Gargoyle is the second book in The Girl and the Raven Series. It does need to be read in order.
Lucy has spent almost a year with her uncles. Life keeps getting worse. Now it’s her turn to help Marcus deal with his family problems. Not only does she have Seamus after her, but Garrett as well. The quote I chose for Lucy is: “I trust my gut and my gut says Garret has a team of soldiers at Jude’s house. We have to get to Lake Forest. Now!”
Marcus hasn’t seen his mother in several years. Now he’s got his family to deal with. Keeping Lucy safe last time almost killed him. What will happen to him this time? What of Lucy? The quote I chose for Marcus is: “Save… my… mother. Get out of here! Leave Garret to me.”

This is the 2nd book in the Girl and the Raven series. This is a captivating young adult story. I would really recommend reading book 1 first so that you get to know all the characters and how they come to be where they are now. I love our leading lady Lucy. She is strong willed and determined and full of fight which she is going to need in this story.
We are back with Lucy after the ending in the 1st book her life has been turned upside down when she finds out she is half-witch, half- demon.
Things get more complicated when her father (demon side) reappears and wants her in his life. But is he back just because she’s his daughter or is something more sinister behind it? Now fearing for the lives of the people she loves Lucy does as her father wants to avoid his anger.
Things also take another turn when her boyfriends mother returns into his life. His mother wants Marcus to leave and rejoin her and his father as protectors. His father however wants Marcus to help him kill Lucy’s father. However if Jude dies so will Lucy.
Now Marcus is on a race against time to save Lucy while Lucy is trying to protect her father. There are so many twists and turns and secrets in this book that you will always be wondering what will happen next.

This is a great YA book. I enjoyed this sequel and look forward to the next book in the series. There was a lot of action and excitement. The character’s really developed and grew throughout the book. Lucy is a strong character who handles all that is thrown at her fairly well for her age. This is definitely worth the read.

Lucy Walker is back and her life is still settling down between her near death experiences and finding out she is half-witch and half-demon and dating a Gargoyle, how much more interesting does it need to be? However, one morning when she is rudely awoken in the early hours of the morning by her best friend texting her and telling her that she is the luckiest girl alive, she is in no mood for games in her sleep deprived state, but she is hoping that she didn’t see her and Marcus on the rooftop the night before, or how he returned her fast asleep to her bedroom later on. However, what she sees after reading it is even more disturbing, her father, Jude is standing in her room and demanding to meet her great-uncles and basically stonewalling her attempts to discourage it, but it is only when and her uncles ask about the car parked outside the house that her brain eventually catches up with what is going on, Jude has planned this all along and so she has no choice but to invite him in and when Marcus turns up at the same time, she has no choice but to have everyone there.
As breakfast is served and conversation haltingly proceeds, Marcus struggles to control his inner gargoyle and Jude tries to hypnotise her uncles, Lucy is torn between the two and tries to get the event over and done with as quickly as possible so they can continue with their days as normal, but when Marcus explains his real reason for coming, Lucy is disgusted and terrified at the prospect of what it means. A few days after the visit, Lucy is trying to convince her uncles that she is happy living with them and their current lives, what she can tell them of it all at least and that they have no worries about her running off with Jude any time soon, meanwhile, between her combat sessions with her dad, witchcraft lessons with her neighbour and babysitting for her friends siblings, Lucy and Marcus haven’t had much time to spend together and when Marcus’s mother suddenly turns up on their doorstep looking for him, Lucy is shocked to say the least.
When he asks Lucy to meet him on the roof later on, he looks miserable and Lucy has a feeling it is something to do with his mother and she was right, it turns out that she wants to reconnect, as does his father and they want him to go back to their home to meet the rest of the clan, so when he agrees to meet his father and wants Lucy to go with him, nervous as they both were, what happens while they are there and the truth behind their reason for visiting becomes clear, Marcus’s father want to kill Lucy’s and he will stop at nothing to do it, but the kicker is that if Jude dies, so will Lucy. Will they be able to keep both Jude and Lucy alive in between everything else, how will they do it and who can they call upon to help? As it becomes clear that danger is lurking around the corner, Lucy isn’t sure whether she can trust Marcus’s family knowing what she does and what would she do if he decides to go with them to visit the clan? This fantasy adventure is a rollercoaster of emotions and filled with action which will keep you hanging on until the end to find out what happens.

This is the second installment in The Girl and the Raven series and was just as good as the first one in my opinion. I loved how the author not only continued the stories but decided to dive into more complex stories as well with the introduction of new characters. Her ability to draw you into the story from the first page with her perfect characterizations and descriptions of the surrounding and what is occurring is phenomenal. That was one of the things I loved the most about the first book and she didn’t disappoint with this one. Once I start I can’t put it down until I reach the end which is what happened last night as well. I look forward to picking up where this left off with book three. If you are a fan of Twilight, adult, or teen, you will love this series. Pick it up!
