The Girl and the Demon is the third book in The Gild and that Raven book by Pauline Gruber. I highly suggest reading books one and two because it will enhance the pleasure of this book. This is a YA paranormal/fantasy story. It is filled with witches, demons, gargoyles, magic, challenges, and good vs. evil. The storyline is engaging. I kept turning the pages to see what was coming next in the story. The characters kept my attention and mystified my senses. This story is about Lucy and her friends. Lucy has a lot to think about with her friends, boyfriend, and an evil demon coming after her. Will Lucy be able to keep everyone safe or will she meet her match? I highly recommend this book and all the books in the series. I can only hope that there is more to come.

I give The Girl and the Raven: a YA Paranormal Romance by Pauline Gruber, 4 stars.
This was a really interesting YA Paranormal Romance. It starts out pretty tragic for Lucy, but then she is given another chance to basically start all over. In this book, we really learn who she was and who she wants to be. She is such a strong person, especially for her age and while she struggles, she does what she has to for those she loves. We are introduced to so many other characters besides her that really help to make this book so much better.
Then there is the story itself. I will admit, this book seems to have some of the things that at one time we saw everywhere in this genre. To be honest, that made me question by choice of books. But I quickly realized that there was so much more to this book than that, and those things I worried about paled in comparison to the suspense and action in the story. Lucy is trying to come to terms with what she really is, trying to fit in at school, trying have a steady relationship, and all the while battling against an evil out there. There are plenty of surprises along the way too — things aren’t always what they seem.
I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys supernatural romance with plenty of action and strong main characters.

What an intriguing ending to the trilogy of this series. I have enjoyed the story. This installment was just as good as the first two. Excitement, adventure, romance, intrigue drama, and a few other things tossed in will grab you right from the start. I couldn’t put it down. I had to know where Jude was and what was going to happen with our young lovers. So many questions would finally be answered. Great characters well done plot and just outstanding story. You have to try this story. Highly recommend.

In the Girl and the Raven, we are introduced to young Lucy Walker who tragically loses her mom. Lucy finds herself uprooted from the only life she’s ever really known and moves from her small town to the big city of Chicago to live with her uncles. Lucy is hoping for a fresh start and a life free of drama and stress; something that young Lucy has never had before as she’s always had to look after her drug addicted mother.
What Lucy never expected was for her life to take a sudden turn with the discovery that she is half-witch and half-demon. Not only that but she meets the father that she never even knew existed. In Addition to discovering her long lost father, Lucy also finds herself battling for her life by a mysterious stranger. Clearly, this new life isn’t quite what Lucy expected but never one to back down from a challenge, Lucy faces each new challenge head-on.
Shortly after moving in with her uncles Lucy meets her upstairs neighbor, Marcus, and can’t help but become smitten with this good-looking lad. Lucy soon finds herself spending a lot of time with her new neighbor and finds herself falling in love with him. Marcus was friends with Lucy’s grandmother and promised her that he would look after Lucy and protect her, a vow that he takes very seriously. Young neighbor Marcus has a secret of his own that Lucy soon discovers. Lucy also finds herself quite attracted to Young Dylan, a boy she meets at her new high school. At first, Lucy thinks that Dylan is a jerk and wants nothing to do with him. As she gets to know him better, she sees another side of him that he keeps hidden from everyone. Suddenly she’s thrust into a love triangle as well as everything else that she is currently dealing with.
When Lucy discovers that her grandma’s beloved Raven is missing, she is determined to find it and save it at all costs. Lucy has always had a special connection with the beloved family pet. She finds herself teaming up with her neighbor, Marcus, and the two of them set off to save The Raven. Lucy’s life and everything she has ever known is forever changed as she is now thrust into a battle between good and evil.
The one thing that really drew me into this book was how strong the lead character Lucy is. Young Lucy has always had to be strong but now she really has to dig down and discover her true strengths. Lucy is one tough young lady who manages to persevere and overcome any challenge that comes her way. She will do anything to protect those that she loves. Lucy’s protective and loving nature combined with her strength is quite admirable.
I found this book had many twists and turns that I didn’t see coming. From the very first page that just kind of leaves you in shock I was hooked. I immediately fell in love with the characters. I admired Lucy’s strength. The love triangle sucked me in, but I immediately became conflicted as to who would be the better choice for lucy, the brooding neighbor Marcus, or the high school friend Dylan. I love the supernatural aspect and the demons, gargoyles, and witches.
I found this book impossible to put down. As soon as I was able to, I moved on to book two in The Girl and The Raven series, entitled The Girl and The Gargoyle. I highly recommend this book and the others in The Girl and The Raven series by Pauline Gruber.

This is the third book in The Girl and the Raven series. While I enjoyed the first two books, I loved this book. I felt like there was more heart within these pages. You could fill the connections between the characters. I really feel like I need another book, I just wanna keep reading about Lucy’s adventures.

This is the last of the books in this series and while I will miss reading about these characters, I would have to say this was the best book by far. I will say that if you haven’t read any of the books it is important to read them in order so that you will understand the characters and their story. In this book you finally see the main character come into her full self and become the person that she is mean to be. She is finally able to accept her abilities and use them to her advantage. I’ve been waiting for that to happen. This author is an amazing writer. Her attention to detail is phenomenal and she has me seeing everything going on. It’s like the story jumps off the page and onto my TV screen. The characters and their relationships are so realistic and relatable that I don’t think anyone could be disappointed in this book series.

If you enjoy supernatural YA books, this one will be a perfect fit for you!
When Lucy Walker’s mother dies suddenly due to a drug overdose, she is moved from Tennessee to Chicago to live with her Uncles in her Grandmother’s old home. Not only is she thrust into a new life in a new city, she must now navigate the fact that she is a half demon, half witch. Her life in Tennessee in the trailer park did not prepare Lucy for life in the fast lane in Chicago.
This book had some unexpected twists to it and kept me on the edge of my seat. I really enjoyed it!

It breaks my heart to write this review as we conclude this wonderful series. If there was ever a series that made you wish for more this would be it. Having a teenager of my own it has been wonderful following Lucy as she grows comfortable with who she is and the forces that have shaped her. In this last book Marcus must go out of town due to a familial obligation and her father Jude is still out of town on his own mission. You would think that with these powerful men out of her life temporarily things might slow down for a bit. That doesn’t happen as one of the mean girls in her friend group performs a séance and accidentally unleashes an evil entity on their city. Lucy must reveal her secret powers to save her friends after coming to the realization that they are like family to her even the ones that don’t like her all that much. While Lucy tries to protect her friends and they try to protect her she catches some unwanted demonic attention. Can she protect her friends or is their city going to hell in a handbasket literally? This is a must-read series that will leave you hooked through the very end!

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!

This is definitely a modern retelling of good vs. evil with twists and turns that make this one book you won’t want to put down. This book reminds me of a coming-of-age story for Lucy who not only survives a difficult childhood but has to come to terms with things not being what they seem. The characters in this book are well thought out and multi-dimensional. The way they interact with each other through the book is witty and emotional. Lucy who loses her mom and moves in with her two uncles into her grandmother’s flat comes face to face with a new reality she never knew existed. Throw into the mix a father she has never met, the crazy aunt upstairs, a brooding boyfriend, a friend group that at times are more enemy than friend, and Dylan a guy that only seems to bring trouble and you have a recipe for disaster. But when Lucy falls into danger can they all come together to save her life? Is everything always good vs. evil or does some grey in between area exist? This is one book you definitely need to read; you won’t regret it.

Another great book in this series. The problems that arise and how Lucy is able to figure it out and solve is so amazing. Lucy a very smart strong welled girl that doesn’t let anything or anyone stand in her way. I love how Lucy can work thou a problem and figure out how to solve it. This book was filled with demons, backstabbing, butyral, and heart ache. But it also is filled with love from her uncles and friends, good ending, friendship, compassion, and understanding. These books feel so much like your back in high school, the way everyone is, friendships, relationships and how things will work out. How Lucy needs to learn to control herself without having to tell anyone what she can do and what she is, you can almost feel the pain that if she does if she would loss everything, but when it does her friends are so helpful and understanding that this friendship will be strong to come. I really hope there will be more to this series and the problems and fun that Lucy will bring in her next adventures.

The Girl and the Demon (The Girl and the Raven Book 3) by Pauline Gruber – Review by Krista Vaughan
The third book in this trilogy was the best! Lucy and her friends are left alone to deal with the demon that is out to kill her! Her father is running hell, Lucifer is walking the earth and her boyfriend Marcus is away dealing with his family! Lucy had to tell her friends what is going on and their love and loyalty for her lead them to do something dangerous to help her defend herself. Danger can come from any direction. Lucy and Marcus’s relationship is strained. This book is a page turner! A great finish to the trilogy!

The Girl and the Demon by Pauline Gruber is a fabulous five-star read. This is number three in The Girl and the Raven series and this one adds something extra to the story, something I never imagined I would see in these three stories, and I would say do read them in order, as you get the best of the overall story following them all. Lucy has pulled many punches through the three stories, and they have been strong and this is an action packed story, one that will keep you hooked on every page. This series ends on a bag, the three stories all come to a great punch.

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.

This is the 3rd book in The Girl and the Raven series. I have loved the other 2 books in this series and I wasn’t disappointed with this book either. I would definately recommend reading them in order so you get the full feel of the characters, their stories and how they are all linked. The story is a supernatural romance which is my favourite. It’s packed full of supernatural beings, romance and danger.
Lucy has had a tough time so far. First she finds out she’s a witch and her father’s a demon. Then her boyfriend turns out to be a protector and when his father tries to kill her she turns and ends up killing him.

By getting Lucy’s bully at school to work alongside him they put motions in place which means Lucy needs to learn to fight and use her powers fast or she will end up being defeated.

The Girl and the Raven by Pauline Gruber is a fantastic four-star read. This is number one in The Girl and the Raven series, and I enjoyed this story, it shows great promise for the series. Lucy will pull you in, her dilemma and drama will keep you hooked and leave you wanting to know everything. Lucy is tough and keeps the story together and the setting is strong, I felt it could have done with a little more putting together, it jumped a couple of times, or maybe I drifted I don’t know. This had the bones of being great, and I am hoping the second will get better.

This is the third installment of The Girl and the Raven series. It continues the story of Lucy and her coming to terms with being half demon and half witch. With her dad out of reach and her boyfriend out of town, she has her two best friends to rely on helping her stay safe. My favorite part of this book was seeing Lucy come into her own and have more confidence in herself and her abilities. Her friends have become her family and she realizes that she will risk it all to save them; even the girl in her friend group that doesn’t like her.
I feel like the author did a wonderful job describing the intricacies of teenage friendships and emotional angst that they experience in this day in age. I also appreciate that this series continues to be clean in language, and not overly sexualized. Hopefully, Lucy’s adventures continue!

The third instalment of this series DID NOT DISAPPOINT! I truly couldn’t get enough if I tried. Do yourself a favour and read them all! Too good! Pauline Gruber you have captivated me, made me forget I have a family, and kids because I simply couldn’t put this book down! Lucy is the strong smart girl that I wish I was growing up! 10 out of 10, couldn’t recommend enough. Your writing style is amazing, your words flow in a way that makes me feel as though I’m there in the very moment and it is something I treasure when I read really good books from really good authors!

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!

The girl and the Raven was a book that truly surprised me! I was enthralled from the beginning and it really made me think of the Harry Potter Series! Pauline Gruber did an amazing job with the plot and it flowed so beautifully! It wasn’t what I expected from a Young Adult categorized book but it truly was attention grabbing and interesting! I am interested to see what comes next for these characters and can’t recommend this book enough! Job well done!!

Lucy grows so much throughout this book and we learn a lot more about other characters too. I really love the authors writing style and getting chapters from other characters POV. If you haven’t read the first two books – I suggest starting there as it will give you a better understanding of the storyline and the series as a whole. Fingers crossed that there will be a book four.

The Girl and the Demon: YA Paranormal Romance by Pauline Gruber is the third book in the Girl and the Raven series. I would definitely recommend reading this series in order as it follows the same main characters and would enhance your enjoyment of the series. As soon as I started reading this book I was yet again pulled into the story. I thought it was entertaining well written. I instantly connect with the main character every time I pick up one of these books. There is something about her that is so engaging and relatable, even though she is much younger than my age range. The author has created a character that is interesting and really can appeal to all. The story was great to read as well. It was exciting and felt as fresh as the first book did. This is a really strong series that I thoroughly enjoy and seems to get better with each book. I am looking forward to seeing what else this author can produce.

With this being the conclusion of a series that I have loved every bit of, I’m a bit sad writing this review. Lucy has been through so much in these three books. In this story, Marcus must go away due to family obligation, her father is still on a “mission” for her Godfather, and there is a big twist that I did not see coming. It’s true that in any scenario, you always find out who your real friends are. That showed more than ever here with the sacrifice that one of them was willing to make to keep Lucy protected. There was so much going on that I couldn’t stop reading until the book was finished. I loved this story, the characters, the writing, and the relationships. I loved them so much that I am devastated there is no more to read. I would have loved to dive deeper into Dylan’s relationship, what happens to his brother and sister, and what is to come after the significant happenings in this book. * Pauline, if you are reading this – I very much think you could continue this series with a prequel, a sequel, or a continuation! (And I would be OVERJOYED to read any variation.) * I cannot stress enough how fantastic this series has been. I HIGHLY recommend that you get this series today. You won’t be disappointed!

I absolutely love this series, what a fantastic 3rd instalment to this story. Keeping up with the first two books, The Girl and the Demon is another Fast-Paced read and completely unique- truly captivating. With an array of paranormal characters, just the right amount of drama, some mystery and a bit of romance, what’s not to love? Pauline Gruber does such a great job at world building and character development as Lucy’s story continues. Definitely a must read.

Wow! Just wow! I loved the prior two novels and this one delivered so much, and from the prior two I gained a lot of knowledge about the events that surround Lucy and her friends, but this one really went all out. Sadly, it is the final novel in the series, I am sad to see it end, as I had a lot of enjoyment reading this awesome series! The climax to conclusion of the novel, honestly it was perfect and very much suited.
I had been following the journey as well as battles for Lucy and her friends for some time now And honestly, poor Lucy she can not catch a break. She wants badly to live her life as normal as can be, but for who she is as well as what she was, that seems certainly impossible. Things took off really in the prior, leading to this one. So much happens, literally action was happening where ever seemed fit it seemed, I honestly did not know what characters would still be standing by the time I completed reading the book!
This one really gave it all. The author, she’s amazing and she knows exactly what she is doing when she is doing her writing and word play! For me reading this one, I felt I was along side Lucy, as she knew pretty much as I guess she always had , that this is her fight. To save her friends she must fight, and not know what the out come would be, but trust in herself was a big thing of the inner power of herself! The way the ending comes fort was so good and perfectly made. It was a good and well done way to end the series. I really hope I might read some adventures of Lucy and the gang again though!
I have been a fan of this series since the first novel, everything that happens in the prior novels leads into the next one in the series. I loved every character as well as how they grew and became who they were. Basically they found themselves and embraced more less their true nature of who they are and whom they should be. I really enjoyed this series and loved everything of it with all my heart. I will miss seeing what Lucy and her friends get up to or face in the paranormal world they have to deal with. I know for sure what ever the author cooks up next, will be just as amazing, and I will be reading the next thing they will have written! The author wrote a wonderful and compelling series, and I forever thank them for that!

The Girl and the Demon is the third book in The Girl and the Raven series by Pauline Gruber. As this is the third book in the series and continues the story that we started back in Book One, I highly recommend reading the first two books before diving into this one. There is a whole lot of important information, character details and development in those first two books which will enhance your reading experience of this book, and the series as a whole. As with the other two books, this is a very original YA paranormal adventure- with witches, gargoyles, demons, magic, good vs evil, danger, agendas, friendship, drama, challenges, and a little romance- all wrapped up in a well-developed, complex, and multi-layered plot. The adventure continues as Lucy (and friends) are tested on a whole new level- with the most powerful demon drawn into the mix. What happens makes for a captivating read! I certainly hope there are more books planned for this series! Happy reading!

The Girl and the Demon is the third and final book in The Girl and the Raven by Pauline Gruber. This YA paranormal romance is original and different to other books of this genre. I enjoyed the first two books in this series and knew this one would be just as good. I mean who doesn’t love a story with witches, demons, and other magical creatures both good and evil. This complex multilayered story will leave you wanting more of Pauline’s unusual.
With danger lurking Lucy is forced to reveal herself to true evil and the world where she wished to remain hidden. Now she just has to survive. Not just YA’s will love this book.
