review 1: *****this book was given to the Book Hookup by the author but did not influence the review*****Celeste’s review: I enjoyed this book as it was a new paranormal read for me: gargoyles! Lillian, the heroine, had a near drowning accident when she was 8 years old and awoke at the foot of a gargoyle statue, but with no memories. Since then she has always found comfort in her statue. One day, Lillian is attacked by the Riven, and Gregory, the gargoyle, is brought out of stone to save her. She had no idea she could summon him like that, or that she had magic within her until the battle on the day the Riven came to take her.What I liked: I loved all the magic, and I loved the whole idea of a gargoyle. I could also really feel that Lillian and Gregory were meant to be together. ... moreAs a bonus, there was lots of humor mixed in – I didn’t expect it so that made it even more fun. I also liked the whole concept of the book: Lillian was host to a demon and they had to find a way to get rid of the demon without killing Lillian.What I struggled with: Gregory was supposed to teach Lillian how to use and control her magic, however she didn’t listen and used it anyway. I am not a fan of heroines being a bit foolish, although her heart was definitely in the right place. Another thing I struggled with was the slightly kinky undertones, and if you read it you will catch my drift. While there was no explicit sexual scenes, you could still absolutely feel the currents of their chemistry, and Gregory in his human form was absolutely divine.I was confused at many points but by the end I got a better grasp of what was going on: Lillian was host to a demon and they had to find a way to kill the demon soul within her without killing Lillian herself. So good, right? Yes, but if that part had been more clear to me in the beginning (as what I just told you!) it would have been just a little more straightforward.Would I recommend this book? YES! All in all it was a fun read and I will definitely read Avatars #2 when Ms. Blackstone releases it.
