Rekindled my love for this series!, June 26, 2017

Can I just say....This series ROCKS!! I have loved it since I began reading Embrace way back in 2012. I immediately realized I had missed the first book, The Conduit, so I went back & began again. I have now read them all many times over, & so have my daughters (& a few of their friends as well as a few family members.) 


If you are new to Stacey Rourke & her highly addictive world's she creates this is a superb introduction to her work. She always brings a splendid mix of emotion, action, comedy, & snarky wit along with a few heart wrenching moments to ensure we keep coming back for more. The Gryphon Series happens to be the first that lured me in & I just had to have more after that! If you are a paranormal fan that likes sassy characters then this should bring you hours of joy.

I have to say getting to relive it over & over was even better than the first read through. Rourke magically breathes life into these characters, & before we know it we're immersed so deeply into their world that we reach 'the end' before we are truly ready to say goodbye.


If you are into paranormal with plenty of humor added in then you will adore these characters & their stories. Be warned...Grams is a freaking riot & may even cause a blush here & there!!! =D This is one of those I'd love to see on the big screen someday! I hope you enjoy this series as much as we have. 

“Another fantastic, awesome, laugh-out-loud funny addition to the library of ‘falling in love’ with Stacey Rourke books! It’s different, and a great example of some pre-Twilight era YA Paranormal books, where angst was minimal, family was important and adventures were up front and center.” -InD’Tale Magazine 

“Celeste is a well-rounded character and a spunky, sassy protagonist. Though she is a superhero, she commands compassion because she is so human and vulnerable, flawed and weak in spite of super powers. She has the demands of a job, sibling feuds, family issues and the weight of the world on her shoulders.” -IndieReader

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.

 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

The Sidekick Chronicles ~ Review

The Sidekick Chronicles by Stacey Rourke
A Gryphon Series Novella

Celeste isn't the only member of the Garrett family whose life changed when destiny called. Every sidekick has their tale and in this Gryphon Series short the spotlight is turned on Kendall, Grams and even Gabe. Get an inside look at the hilarious stress that goes along with being a...sidekick.

Sidekicks...ya can't live with 'em and you'd probably die horribly without 'em.

My Review: 

5 stars

September 20, 2012 

This was a great follow-up to Embrace!! hoped it would be longer as I was sucked in completely! Grams cracks me up ALWAYS, & I about fell of the bed laughing at Keith!! Gabe is an amazing older brother, & I just adore Keni! Caleb & Celeste just go great together, & their conversations make me smile!! What an ending though!! I can't wait for Sacrifice to come out!!! :D 

View all my reviews

Check out The Sidekick Chronicles Volume II:

  The call of the sea.

The promise of adventure.

For Rowan Wade, the need to return to his swashbuckling ways is enough to betray the only woman he’s cared for in over three hundred years.
With vengeance in his heart, he’s determined to exact his revenge on those that mutinied against his father.

The arrival of an unlikely ally challenges Rowan’s plans. Her goal isn’t to stop him, but to lead him on a journey of self-discovery to unravel the mysteries of the twisted path that led him to the Dark Army.

Will it be enough to make the pirate shift course? Or will he be lost forever in a rum-induced haze? Hoist ye colors and prepare to set sail with the Gryphon Series’ favorite pirate!

Look for A Pirate's Tale on Amazon.

Book Trailer

The Gryphon Series

The Conduit ~  

All 18-year-old Celeste Garrett wants is to head off to college and make those fun, yet ill-advised, choices college kids are known for. And maybe to spend some time with the hot cameraman she just met. Instead, because of a pact her ancestors made in the 17th century with a mythical creature, she has to save the world.

While normal kids are slamming energy drinks and cramming for exams, Celeste will get her adrenaline rush fighting a fire breathing dragon. She wants to meet friends in the quad to exchange lecture notes, but first she must exchange blows with a shapeshifting demon on the rooftop. Life isn’t always fair for a superhero, but at least she doesn’t have to do it alone. With her brother and sister as sidekicks, they alternate between saving lives and getting on each others’ nerves. Together the trio encounters unspeakable odds, mystical forces and comes face-to-face with an image that will haunt them forever—their grandmother in a leopard print bikini.

Okay, little side note here. If a psychopathic killer asks if you want to see a trick, say no. That’s the smart thing to do. I, on the other hand, responded, “Bring it.”

My Review of The Conduit

_______________________________ 

 Embrace ~ 

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 of Embrace

 _______________________________ 
  
Sacrifice ~

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 of Sacrifice

 _______________________________ 

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?
