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. The character developments, plot, and details are incredible. You’ll be on the edge of your seat and dying to read the next book by the end!

Really enjoyed this next part in the story, after The Girl and the Raven. We learn lots more about these awesome characters, and see a few new ones as well. Is it wrong I am still kind of rooting for Dylan to get between the girl and her Gargoyle? I know the Gargoyle is meant to be a protective beast, but Marcus sometimes veers into the controlling for me. Or maybe I just like the bad boy? I digress. Lucy gets to know dear old dad a lot better, and his character is a lot more nuanced in this book. The plot is great, full of action, and I really enjoyed it. This is a great series I will enjoy following.

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!

The Girl and the Gargoyle is a page-turning second novel in The Girl and the Raven Series. Pauline Gruber has continued this story with a new twist. Lucy a half-witch/half-demon teenager is once again in the spotlight. With Seamus still looking to destroy her, Lucy is hoping that is all she will have to deal with in her life since moving to Chicago. To help alleviate this as a potential threat, Jude, Lucy’s demon father, begins to train her to use her demon powers.
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.

I got chills reading this book. From the very first page you are bombarded with emotions from Lucy. Watching her lose her mother in the most horrible way makes you want to just grab her and hold onto her and never let her go. This girl is met with trial after trial and rises above it. At first she is very reluctant. I would be too if I was in her shoes! But, you see her grow and you want to read more. The storytelling is absolutely fantastic. I enjoyed every moment of this story. I can’t wait to read more from this author!

I like how the author weaves the threads of the story through the different characters into web of intrigue.. Great foundation building for the series of stories to come. Not a regular of YA Paranormal Romance, I enjoyed the sweet romantic suspense of first love amidst all the adventure of learning who she really is. Lucy is a girl that’s had to stand on her own for years, but now she finds herself surrounded by a family and champions she never knew she had. This is my first read by Pauline Gruber and I won’t hesitate to read the next installment!

The start of Lucy’s journey to uncovering who she is and where she fits in the world was a joy to read. Pauline Gruber has created a vibrant world and I found myself unable to put the book down. I look forward to reading the next installment from Pauline Gruber.

Right away this story grabs your attention with our main character. Lucy is just a 16 year old trying to cope with her life.
She is then thrown into a turmoil. As she ends up living with her great uncles, she learns she is not of this world. Which she already had a clue to.
This story had wonderful fantasy elements to it that I don’t believe we see often enough. It wasn’t all fairies and mortals. No, it was something much different. I cannot wait to get my hands on the rest of this series. And would recommend it to anyone who truly loves a fresh feel to a Young Adult series.

Great YA paranormal story! Lucy is an interesting character who really grows throughout the book. Lucy is dropped into a world unfamiliar to her. It is fun seeing the supernatural through her eyes. This was enjoyable to read. I’m looking forward to reading the other books in the series.

The Girl and the Raven tells the story of Lucy, a teen who has no idea who she really is…until her mother passes away and she is sent to live with her uncles. When she learns the truth about her family, and herself, Lucy is thrown into a world she never imagined could be real.
This Young Adult novel was great. The writing is superb. I am usually not a reader who enjoys stories that switch between multiple points of view, but this one was done so seamlessly that it never once was an issue. The characters are fantastic and the danger is real–the twists and turns just keep coming! Great first novel for the series and I can’t wait to read more!

This book has all the makings of a wonderful YA paranormal story! Lucy has had a life riddled with unfair circumstances and the author does a great job of reeling you in from the first sentence. I loved the watching her as she grew from a young girl unsure of herself into a young woman who knew what was truly important. She deals with the same things all teen girls deal with but there is a twist…she isn’t human. This story is filled with the supernatural and keeps you wondering what will happen in the end. It can get slow at times but towards the end picks back up and reels you in! It has love, heartbreaks, witches, demons, and more!

Lucy, a small-town girl from Tennessee, has her world turned upside down at the young age of fifteen ; having to move to Illinois and live with her uncles due to an unexpected tragedy. With her new life in Illinois comes unveiled secrets, discovering more about her family, new relationships, and love. I was enraptured by this book from the very beginning and couldn’t put it down. Gruber has a way of keeping you on the edge of your seat and wanting more. I’m excited to read the rest of this series!

The Girl and the Raven: a YA Paranormal Romance by Pauline Gruber
This is the first book by Gruber that I’ve read. It won’t be my last as this author has a way of writing. I could easily get lost in her words.
Lucy has lost her mother and is being moved to Chicago. Once she arrives her life is turned upside down. Her uncles don’t know the family history and that she’s part of that history. The quote I chose for Lucy is: “And Seamus… He’s out there still. Part of the deal is that I have to train with Jude. I need to be able to protect myself.”
Marcus isn’t only human, but something else. Meeting Lucy has brought out the protective side of him. Saving her from danger and evil. The thought that he could lose her hurts him. The quote I chose for Marcus is: “I love you and I know you don’t want to hear this, but the thought of you going to meet with Jude on your own scares the hell out of me.” I’m about to interrupt, but he presses a finger to my lips. “Please stop being stubborn. Let me help you come up with another plan.”

The Girl and the Raven is a delightful tale of a girl that wants a less complicated life. Her personal struggles with herself and the life she left in Tennessee are described so accurately that you can feel her ups and downs as she meets new people in Chicago. Pauline Gerber created a plot that ignites a reader’s imagination with all the nuances of Lucy’s life in Chicago. What a great storyline to build a series off of!
Lucy is hopeless when her mother, an alcoholic and a drug addict, is dropped off in front of their trailer in Tennessee dead. Lucky for her, she has two loving uncles that live in Chicago. She craves a life where things are normal.
On arriving in Chicago, she runs into a man who sends electric shocks into her fingers. Not exactly what she was hoping for. At her uncles’ three flat, her upstairs neighbor is a teenage hunk! Marcus, the hunk, becomes her protector; only Lucy doesn’t know why she’s being protected.
Circumstances change quickly. Lucy learns about a world of witches, demons, and half-demons. Things that she has never heard of in her life. A lot of decisions must be made quickly. Will Lucy choose the path to her destiny? Will her decisions keep those she loves safe?

The Girl and the Raven is a paranormal romance with so many twists and turns that it will leave your head spinning until the very last page. The characters are absolutely fascinating including powers, demons, and more. The details leading to their descriptions flowed effortlessly and beautifully. This is my first read by Pauline Gruber and I’m so glad I decided to pick it up. While there was a lot of drama in this book I also found myself laughing at a few parts. There were some predictable parts but still a lot of shock and awe so I do your looking for a good read then I highly recommend The Girl and the Raven.

The Girl and the Raven (The Girl and the Raven series) by Pauline Gruber is a YA paranormal romance. I enjoyed this book so much. Lucy is such a great character, strong and independent. I love the uncles too! How could you not love them? Witches, demons, and more fill the pages of this story. There are twists and turns throughout.

I could not put this book down. I read it in a day. There’s so many twists and turns. It is about a teenager named Lucy who goes to live with her uncles in a new town and then finds out what she believes to be impossible: that she is half witch and half demon plus she has 2 cute boys fighting over her but not everyone is who they really claim to be. A great fun paranormal book.

I am in love with this book. This was a truly magical story that really came to life for me. A story that I could easily see myself reading again. From the moment I began reading this book, I couldn’t put it down. Each character is complex and unique. This story was full of plot twists that kept me wanting to turn each page to find out what would happen next. This story by far is probably one of the best paranormal stories I have read in a long time and can’t wait to grab the rest of the series.

The Girl and the Raven by Pauline Gruber is the first book in a new YA paranormal romance series, The Girl and the Raven. Lucy is the main character and she has just discovered more than she ever could imagine about herself and her family. I really like this flawed and likable character. She comes across as realistic because she does not react to what is going on with a wealth of teenage trope attitude. Instead, she is shocked, dismayed, intrigued, and curious. I like this is not another teen story following the same storyline of many other YA paranormal stories. I was curious as to where the story was leading and want to continue reading this series. The interactions between the different factions kept me curious and I really like the characters. They are well developed and focused on the story. I look forward to reading more from this author soon.

I really enjoyed this book! Once I started reading it, I didn’t want to put it down.
Lucy’s character draws you in from the very beginning. You really like her and love her heart for others. Even after her world is turned upside down and challenges assail her left and right, she is still able to love. Her dad is a stranger that has dark powers that she wants to reject, but can she? Marcus is her knight in shining armor holds his own secrets, and Dylan is a popular jock that evolves into something more…. but who will catch Lucy’s heart?
Can’t wait to read the next installment of this series to find out more!

This was a great paranormal read. It has a mixture of everything that keeps you gripped from danger, to romance. This book is full of twists and turns which keeps you guessing and keeps you hooked.
Lucy is a young girl who has a traumatic life. Her mother was heavily into drugs and was returned to Lucy dead after a night out. Lucy was heartbroken and now all alone she thinks. But there are secrets that she doesn’t know. Secrets that will change her view of herself and also put her in danger.
When she goes to live with her uncles after her mothers death she starts to learn about the truth of her gifts. This revelation opens her eyes to a whole new world she didn’t know existed and puts her in danger when her demon father trys to find her. Add to this a romance with Marcus who lives upstairs. As perfect as he seems he isn’t who or what he seems to be. This books will keep you guessing all the way through and you feel Lucy grow from a shy unconfident girl into a more confident girl.
