Inferno ~ Review

Inferno

by Stacey Rourke

Expected Release Date: December 5, 2016

With the death of a hero, a dark force has risen. A hellhound is loose on the Rhodes Campus, building its pack with a bloody body count. 

Any hope for salvation rests in the fiery hands of dashing Irishman, Caleb, with his power over the elements. 

Fighting to save a dear friend from the internal monster consuming him, Caleb finds the love of his life a target for the vicious attacks. 

How far will he go to save Celeste from the destiny ravenous to claim her?

 I am beyond excited this series has continued! It is one of my very favorites!, December 5, 2016 
I am freaking in love with Rourke & the worlds she creates!!!! I admit the hate was seepin' in there for a bit as my heart crushed when I realized this was not a bad dream we were waking up from!!! I cried real tears at that moment!!!!!!!! Luckily everyone was sound asleep so they didn't witness my ugly crying as I literally choked up. A particular scene on the beach ripped my heart out quicker than any unexpecting merqueen's! With only a few pages left I thought there would be a big cliff hanger causing me to mourn for months...and THEN my heart rejoiced as I continued to read & realized what was happening!!!!

WHEW!!!!!!!!! And... I LOVE this story!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Embrace ~ Review

Embrace (The Gryphon Series) 

by Stacey Rourke

Blurb:  

Young Adult and Teen Reader voted Laugh-out Loud Series of 2012 & Author of the Year 2012 to Stacey Rourke! Whether she likes it or not, eighteen year old Celeste Garrett has come to terms with being the Chosen One. She knew having a "normal life" would be tricky, between intense training sessions and epic demonic battles, but she didn't know at what cost it would come. That is, until a dear friend is harmed by the malicious forces hunting her. Now, she'd like nothing more than to retreat into a hermit lifestyle to prevent anyone else from getting hurt. But startling revelations, amazing new abilities, and mortifying moments in front of insanely hot guys won't allow time for that. Soon, Celeste finds herself surrounded by darkness and wondering who she can trust-if anyone.

My Review:

5 Star

Buy it...you won't regret it!, August 20, 2012
Embrace is a terrific book! You will not regret this buy! It's action packed & magical yet funny & lighthearted...not to mention hard to put down! Many times I caught myself laughing at loud as I read & my kids would ask what was so funny. I love the way Rourke's mind works! Each time I thought I had it all figured out a new twist arose prov...ing maybe I did not. Everything was laid out splendidly & it all just worked! Celeste, Gabe, Kendall, & Alaina are a great team, & I truly felt a family bond between them. I also just love Grams!! She cracked me up! Even the demons drew me in & had me wanting to know more about them. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in The Gryphon Series!!

Sacrifice ~ Review

Sacrifice (The Gryphon Series) 

by Stacey Rourke

Blurb:
 Celeste Garrett has finally found a happy balance in her life as the Chosen One, thanks in large part to a certain hunky Irishman. But if there's any lesson she should heed since receiving her calling it's that everything can change in the blink of an eye. Soon a terrible new threat, unlike anything she's ever encountered, causes her to make a gut-wrenching choice that will strip her of someone she holds dear. As much as she'd like to have a pity party for one, there's no time for that now because wedding bells are ringing in Gainesboro! In between dress fittings and rehearsal dinners Celeste will have to fend off attacking demons and leering pirates. As if the Dark Army wasn't scary enough our heroine is faced with the horrifying trauma of attending a bachelorette party with her mom and watching Grams do Jello shots. Is a walk down the aisle even possible for a member of the Garrett family when the Dark Army is out to destroy them? More importantly, will the Dark Army Glee Club sing at the reception? Raise your glass to the happy couple, and get ready for a wedding...Conduit-style.

My Review:

5 Star
Get ready to laugh until it hurts!!, December 27th, 2012

I this series! Stacey has brought the awesome once again! I've really enjoyed this whole series, but this book had me laughing until I cried! I love how she mixes so much action with comedy & just a tad of drama. The Gryphon Series is a very refreshing read! If you have not read it yet....Go...Now...Order them all. You won't regret it!

 Ascension ~

From best selling and award winning author Stacey Rourke comes the heart-pounding continuation of the acclaimed Gryphon Series.

The turning point of the Gryphon saga is at hand … Battle looms. Three unstoppable forces prepare to clash in a colossal explosion that could wipe Gainesboro off the map. Fate and sacred calling have landed nineteen year old Celeste Garrett in the middle with nowhere to run.

Her trust wavers as she uncovers dark secrets of the Council, powerful enough to test her loyalty and turn her against those she swore to protect. Playing to the longing of her heart, a malevolent enemy uses her weakness against her to form an alliance.

With the trumpets of war about to sound, which side will the Conduit choose, and who will be left standing?
