I just couldn’t put this book down! Pauline Gruber has brought back the gang with more characters you hate to love and love to hate and couldn’t wait to read about. I adore the chemistry between Lucy and Marcus as I couldn’t stop cheering them on! This book has taken me on quite the wild ride but I enjoyed every minute of it! I highly recommend this.

We are back with Lucy and her team of supernatural friends and family. Even if her father is a rude demon named Jude. Also, her wonderful uncles who I love so dearly.
This time around we meet Marcus’s family. Who we aren’t sure have the greatest of intentions at heart. Especially after learning they abandoned him at such a young age.
This book in the series is full of twists and turns and supernatural action. I am anxiously anticipating the next in this trio!

This is the second book in this series and it was great! I love Lucy and Marcus together they really love each other and won’t let anyone or anything get in the way of it. Lucy is half witch and just wants to live her life as a teenage girl in Chicago with her friends but her dad Jude still seems to get in the way at every turn. She is starting her training whilst trying to juggle her school work, time with friends and being with Marcus but maybe it is all too much for one teenage witch? and now to top it off Marcus’s family have arrived and are shaking things up. Can’t wait for book 3.

The Girl and the Gargoyle is the second book in The Girl and the Raven series by Pauline Gruber. As this is the second book in the series, and continues the story we started in Book One, I highly recommend reading the first book before embarking on this one. As with the first book, this is a very original YA paranormal story- with witches, gargoyles, demons, magic, good vs evil, danger, hidden agendas, romance, choices, friendship, alliances, and challenges- all wrapped up in a complex and multi-layered plot. After reading the first book there was no question that I would be diving into this one as soon as it hit my Kindle. I was curious to see where the story would lead- and I am happy to say that it didn’t disappoint! Bring on Book #3!

This series just keeps getting better. Lucy has her father, Jude, wanting to come in and meet her uncles. Marcus, her boyfriend, isn’t happy about that (oh yeah, he and Jude don’t like each other). Dylan, her friend and new demon (thanks to Jude), is suffering from new powers and has to do trainings along with Lucy. Oh yeah,[and nothing is ever as it seems. Marcus’s parents appear on the scene. There are also signs of a love triangle. This action-packed book has thrills, mystery, suspense, and drama for the YA (and even us oldies that love the genre). The characters are funny, full of anfst, charming and a little creepy. The humans have quirks and the paranormal have unique charm. They all mesh together to make a really powerful book that brings out that sometimes you have to compromise. And in the end, keep your enemies closer. Highly Recommend.

Pauline Gruber captured my interest again in this great follow-up to the Girl and the Raven. It was a slow start for me, as I was looking for the twists and turns that the first book offered but I was not disappointed! I loved reading about the progression of Lucy’s life after meeting her father and learning about her magic. I recommend this series to anyone who loves magic, witches, demons, and all things fantasy!

Cliffhangers should be illegal. The end of this book had me on the edge of my seat. I loved reading this second installment. The plot twists had me scrambling for more. The relationship between Lucy and her dad caught me off guard and was not expecting it. The Lucy/Marcus/Dylan triangle had me groaning inside a little but I was happy with the hopeful end result. Hopefully. Watching Lucy grow and actually handle things maturely and not irrationally made me extremely happy. I still have so many questions on how all of these little odds and ends are going to be finished in book 3. I’m a little sad but excited to read more in book 3. Thouroghly enjoyed book 2!

This book picks up where the first book left off. Lucy has learned who her father is…survived an attack…and is trying to find her way in this new reality she finds herself a part of. Jude is forcing her to train with him in order to harness and improve her demon powers. He is also training Dylan at the same time…which is driving Lucy’s hormones crazy. She loves Marcus and can’t figure out why her mind is even thinking of Dylan that way. On top of that, a new threat has come on the scene that is forcing Marcus away from her while presenting a new enemy that she must face. When she learns the reality of what happens when a demon dies, she is determined to keep her father safe. But when she conjures up a plan that requires summoning the king of demons, will she be able to do it? Or is there another way? Because if there isn’t…then there is going to be quite a price to pay… I enjoyed reading the story. The characters are great. The story takes so many twists and turns that it is hard to figure out who the good guys are. Every action has a part in moving the story along…and I am still left with questions that will hopefully be answered in the next book. Overall, a good book!

After reading the second installment of this series, I am just as impressed as I was with the first book! The plot is face paced and continues to build toward what I expect will be an epic conclusion.
The relationship between Lucy, Marcus and Dylan continue to become more and more intertwined. As Marcus’ past comes back to stare them all in the face, there are new characters and new twists introduced. I couldn’t help but to become more and more pulled in to the book as more secrets are uncovered!
Definitely looking forward to reading the last book in this series and seeing how the author wraps it all up! Although, secretly, I am hoping that there are spin-offs of other characters!

I was a great fan of the previous novel in the series, so needless to say I was super excited to read this installment. And seriously the first one was amazing, but this one did wonders just as much if not more! I was a die hard Twilight series fan in my teen years, but this one for me is even better of a paranormal teen series. I am getting great enjoyment from the series and watching Lucy grow and progress for her great destiny and learning more truth on who and what she is destined for.
The book takes off with our main characters trying to live life as their suppose to. Lucy and Jude have more a relationship than they used to, and Lucy is learning more about the truth of herself. I enjoyed seeing the father and daughter things with them grow and prosper. Though Lucy does not take his word lightly, and personally I do not blame her. Still, Jude is trying his best to earn his trust. In truth though, is there hidden reasons for why Jude is really needing and wanting his daughter’s love so bad or is there more things underneath myself as the reader am not aware of yet? I felt as reading though, it probably is just a hunch, but Jude may be knowing something he isn’t letting on? I could easily be way off.
And still I stand as Team Marcus. Marcus is a sweetheart, he may not be a ride or die bad boy as Dylan is. I enjoy their fondness for one another. Things take a unsuspected turn to say the least when the father of Marcus appears out out of the blue. Instantly I had trust issues. I was right. He had different goals then we would have thought as well as making sure Lucy is gone from this earth as to reason of her being Jude’s daughter. His name of Garett. And his intentions were not truth as I mentioned, but truly set off a new course of events. Still, I enjoyed bringing him into this series. As I feel his introduction will set off a curve for the next installments in the series.
As things progress things get much harder Lucy. Things she believes in, as well as the words of those she cares about, becomes all too questionable. She had already been going through a lot, she needed her friends close for guidance as well as her protection, but when you cant even be sure of your own instinct of whom is deserving of your trust what is a girl to do?
Things take an expected turn towards a battle with Garett. This was a well written scene and lot of things happened. The light perhaps sort to say was seen at the end of the tunnel, or a realistic point with the battle with Garrett I know for a fact more questions may arise in the next novel, and I truly can not wait to read it. A girl has her Gargoyle and her Demon. With that said, with danger pretty much at every turn and constantly checking your back, are they really enough protect her? Or will they be her downfall?
I loved this book installment with a passion The author, she truly is a marvelous author. I am truly hooked on this series. I can not get my hands on the next book fast enough. Her writing always brings so much to the table. She wrote a wonderful first book in this series, and did wonders with this one. More with the dangers, the story line, what Lucy is destined for, as well new characters through out this novel that you really want to know more about. I also enjoyed reading of the characters of the previous book and seeing their growth a this one started up up until the final page.
Highly recommend this book and this series in general. Its interesting to say the least. It has great action and danger as well as character development which is very well done. All in all, its great series to lose yourself into. Trust me, I am not be part gargoyle, or demon, ( at least I don’t think so) but this book has an aspect for everyone to enjoy who reads it! Highly recommend, you will not be disappointed!

I gave a 4.5 review on the last book and this one is right up there with it! Pauline has once again outdone herself with this storyline. Lucy, our MC, has really started coming into her powers and is allowing Jude to teach her and Dylan the ropes, so to speak. She is still juggling school, her nanny job, her new-to-her father, the major secrets, and now even more. Dylan is a completely different version of himself in this book than he was in the last and it’s far more interesting to see his internal debates with himself while the book progresses. Marcus has some new drama in his life and it will directly affect everyone involved in this story. There was so much I wasn’t expecting and many times I caught myself yelling at the characters out loud! I read this one a bit slower because there was so much to unpack, but I am still looking forward to the conclusion of this story. There is so much left open and I cannot wait to see how it all unfolds. If you haven’t read it yet, DO IT. Start with book one and let Pauline take you on an adventure!

The Girl and the Gargoyle is the second book in The Girl and the Raven series by Pauline Gruber. If you have yet to read book one, I would definitely recommend starting there.
In some ways, this is a typical YA coming-of-age type of story. There is school, friends, love triangles, and other teenage problems to navigate. But then, throw in being half witch/half human, demons, and extracurricular combat lessons to help you stay alive…..that’s Lucy’s crazy world! I thought this was a great second instalment, as with all good books in a series, it raises more questions than it answers and leaves you wanting more. The pages turned so fast throughout this story, it’s action-packed and you need to know what happens next!

The Girl and the Gargoyle: YA Paranormal Romance by Pauline Gruber is the second book in the Girl and the Raven series. This is a series that needs to be read in order in my opinion as you are introduced to all the characters in book one. I thought this was a brilliant follow up to book one. The author really knew how to push the story further and to make it even more exciting than the first. It took no time of effort to fall back in with Lucy’s storyline. She is an easy character to connect with and become invested in. The relationship between the main characters is such an interesting one to watch develop. It is complex and has depth that really adds to the overall story. The story is quite fast paced. It feels like a lot happens throughout the book and but it never feels overwhelming. The author handles the story and the pace with ease and the whole book just has a great feel to it. This book is definitely the best so far and I cannot wait to read the next one.

What a page turner! New threats enter the lives of Lucy, Marcus, and Dylan. Lucy and Dylan train harder than ever, Marcus learns more about himself, and new characters are introduced.

This is the second book of this series which I enjoyed just as much as the first. I highly suggest reading the first book as well to help enhance your enjoyment of this series. This is a well written story about just how complicated things can get when you are dating a demon enemy who is also a gargoyle and you are half-witch and half-demon. Lucy and Marcus are about to find out. What will happen when his family comes back and they all want something different for him. But he has one determination and that is to save Lucy and her father but this is where a problem comes in, she has a plan for herself. What happens next I highly recommend reading this book to find out. They are great, strong characters that not only bring the story to life but also kept it engaging. This is a fast paced story that kept me turning pages to the end. It is full of action and worth the pick up!

However much she wants to enjoy going to school, studying, and sitting on the roof with Marcus, her gargoyle boyfriend, fate has another path planned. Marcus’s mother, Clementine, and his biological father, Garret, come to stay in Chicago. Clementine’s desire is for Marcus to join the gargoyle clan with his father, who is the lead protector. Lucy is terrified that this is exactly what will happen, and she will lose her chance at happiness with Marcus if he moves away.
Garret has come to Chicago to complete a mission. That mission is to take out Jude. Jude is a powerful demon. The problem with this that Lucy discovers is that if a demon dies so does his progeny. With her life held in the balance, Lucy works with her allies to make a plan to stop Greyson. Will her efforts be enough?

The Girl and the Gargoyle is a YA paranormal romance and the second book in The Girl and the Raven by Pauline Gruber. Before starting this book, you should read the first book The Girl and The Raven and in quick succession as there is a lot of layers. It is a quick read, and I definitely enjoyed it. It is original and different to other paranormal romance stories. The characters are also a little different to your straightforward usual paranormal critters. There are demons and witches and gargoyles and an evil father on the hunt. As I said with the first book there are secrets and lies, magic and a wealth of unusual. YA’s will love this book.

When a meet-the-parents moment becomes an assassination attempt, can one magical teenager save everyone she loves?
Lucy Walker is overwhelmed. Discovering her demon dad is on the opposite side of a supernatural war with her gargoyle boyfriend’s family was hard enough. But when a dinner date with her beau’s parents results in his father announcing his mission to make her an orphan, Lucy’s blood threatens to boil.
Determined to recruit all the support she can find to help save her father, Lucy is baffled by how easily her white-witch mentors agree to assist…until they reveal her own life is also at risk. And with her demon blood causing dangerous jealousies over sessions with her combat training partner, she fears she may lose everything.
Can Lucy bridge the divide between two warring factions before their feud sends her to her doom?
The Girl and The Gargoyle is the suspenseful second book in The Girl and The Raven YA paranormal romance series. If you like fireball-hurling heroines, forbidden attractions, and terrifying twists, then you’ll love Pauline Gruber’s dark tale.
