The Girl and The Demon (The Girl and The Raven, #3)The Girl and The Demon by Pauline Gruber
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

All of the lovable cast mates are back in the third book of this fun series. Lucy is still working on awakening the witchy side of her genes, and Dylan’s demon is coming out in greater strength. Jude’s absence is affecting everyone, and although he tries to reach out to them, his communications are unclear and incomplete. Lucy is stressed about Marcus leaving to spend time with his protector kin, and unwittingly falls into a trap set by Seamus. I enjoyed hearing from all of these characters again, but I found this book really slow to get going. I was waiting for all of the action I expected from Girl and the Gargoyle, and it took awhile to arrive. Having said that, this book is as well written and developed as the others in this series, and if you enjoyed the others, you should definitely complete your experience with this book.

Twilight's CurseTwilight’s Curse by K.M. Wray
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5

Twilight’s Curse is the first book in the Twilight Realm Trilogy by K.M. Wray. It is a YA fantasy story with elves and brownies, magic and dragons, fighting and action, pain and sorrow, hope and wonder. This was my first time reading a book from this author. The plot and characters are interesting, and there is a little bit of emotions that leak through. There is action and hate, love and lies, pain and sorrow and betrayal. I found I could not fully immerse and lose myself in the story. I needed something more. But please don’t let my thoughts deter you, I am a fussy paranormal fantasy reader.
If you love YA fantasy, give it a go you may just love it.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a great fantasy story that is full of adventure, magic and best of all elves which I really enjoyed reading. This is a well written story that has creative characters and even some romance. This is a newer author for me which I enjoyed being pulled into the story by her attention to details. Her creative characters brought life to the story and kept me turning pages to the end. They are full of magic and action. This is a story about Zoe and Nix. They are both elves which are in need of help from each other. She has magic that is broken and needs to fix it. He needs her to stop throwing daggers at him so she can join him in this fight for peace. What happens next I highly recommend reading this book to find out. It is a great young adult story that I would suggest to any young adult looking for a fun adventure. This is a great book to pick up and highly recommend doing so.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Twilights curse should most definitely be adapted for a TV show or movie (only if it does it justice). This book teaches a beautiful lesson on forgiveness, the power in vulnerability, and the beauty in trusting in your own abilities. I loved the details that were used to describe every second of the book. It made imagining the storyline very easy. This YA romance was very sweet and reminded me what it felt like to be a teenager in love. I can’t wait to read the next book!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

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.

This is the first book I have read from this author and while geared toward the middle to high school reader, I loved this book. I feel like the author has done a wonderful job of creating a story that not only is appealing to the young adult reader but to the adult reader as well. Especially if you love reading fantasy, folksy, myth and stories. She did a great job making me feel as though I was in this world around me. Her characters are amazing. I truly love the elves in this book. In fact, I wanted to be one. This book reminded me of several book series I love, and it took me on a ride to a realm I want to live in. I look forward to the continuation of this series and will certainly be checking out some of the other books by this author. Do yourself a favor and pick up this book to read.

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.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

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.

I enjoyed this fantasy story. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites. I enjoyed being pulled into the story from the start and kept engaged to the end. The characters gave life to the story and made it fun and easy to read. This is a story that took me on an adventure of romance and twists and turns like no other. A war is coming and Talise hopes that she has enough power to win. She is a strong, fierce character that believes in herself until she meets him. He has just as much skill as she does but she also has secrets that could change things. What happens next is up to you to read about. You don’t want to miss what happens with this strong character. I really enjoyed her and she is my favorite so far. I enjoyed the plot growth throughout the story and of the characters. This is a great story to pick up and I highly recommend it

All elves have magic. Mine is living magic which is great for helping plants grow.

Nix:
My parents, the king and queen of the Twilight Realm, were killed when I was a child. Too young to take the throne, I grew up in obscurity with no desire to become king.
But the regents threaten my sister and terrorize the citizens. I must become king and restore peace to the Twilight Realm. First, I need convince a certain female elf with knowledge of the fortress and amazing fighting skills to join me.
And maybe she’ll find out I’m not such a bad elf after all. If only she’d stop throwing her daggers at me.
Twilight’s Curse is the first book in the Twilight Realm Trilogy. It is set in a land governed by elves and is a Young Adult fantasy filled with memorable characters, a slow burn clean romance, magic, dragons and fighting.

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.

The Elements of the Crown (The Elements of Kamdaria, #1)The Elements of the Crown by Kay L. Moody
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Elements of the Crown (The Elements of Kamdaria Book 1) by Kay L. Moody is YA fantasy book. There are actually four stories in this one book – The Ice Crown, The Wind Crown, The Dust Crown and The Fire Crown. Bargain. Hidden secrets, hidden agendas, lots of danger and lots of twists are just some of what you can expect in this series. The world building is done well but. You love some and love to hate some, some you wanted to hug and some you wanted to slap. There is betrayal and deception, lies and secrets and magic and mayhem. The plot is well written and the suspense and intrigue keep you turning pages but it is over quickly as they are very short novellas. Kay has given us an exciting new world and takes us on a journey.
Talise finds herself in a world in which you have to fight for what you want. It is a little emotional and will make your heartache at times but I loved Talise’s vulnerability but also her strength and fiery determination. Talise is only seven years old when she is to perform before strangers. Her mother wants her to have a good life and the only way to do that is to prove her worth at the Academy. Coming from the Storm, a place where no one wants to live, a place where you waste away and die in the wasteland where nothing grows.

Holy smokes, this book is great! I barely even noticed that it is 4 novellas in one – the story flows seamlessly. Talise comes from the very impoverished area called The Storm, but is determined to win the coveted title of Master Shaper so that she can escape poverty for good. Her powers to shape the elements – Earth, Air, Fire, and Water are almost unparalleled. She is a strong heroine with awesome powers that provide lots of excitement in the story. Aaden, the prickly new student, is possibly equal to her abilities, and so they are tested together in a fight for the right to stay in The Crown, the richest area of Kamdaria. Lots of twists and turns in this book that kept me hooked. I finished and immediately bought the sequel, Elements of the Gate. Buy this book!

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.

I love a good hybrid, very L.J Smith with a high school trope.
Five stars and this is a keeper.

I’ve drifted away from YAs because the teenage drama isn’t relatable for me. Even when I was a teen it was still hard to relate to because I always thought the characters were just immature. But Alena is a well developed mature character that I can actually empathize. The story takes paranormal to a different place with the main character being a hybrid witch/vamp. Very fun read and can’t wait to read the 2nd book.

Alena, for only being seventeen, is an extremely mature and well rounded character. The attention to detail in the realm building process and story development is phenomenal! I cannot wait to read the next installment in Alena and Hunter’s story.

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!

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.
