When Lillian finds herself facing off against demons out of mythology, help comes from an unlikely source—the stone gargoyle who has been sleeping in her garden for the last twelve years.
After the battle, Lillian learns the humans she thought were her family are actually a powerful coven of witches at war with the demonic Riven. Lillian is something more than human, a Sorceress and Avatar to the gods. The gargoyle has been her protector for many lifetimes, but when she was still a child, troubles in their homeland forced him to flee with her to the human world.
But something from her childhood has followed them to this world. In a heartbeat, her ordinary life becomes far more complicated, and if her overprotective guardian is to be believed, there’s an evil demigoddess just waiting for the chance to enslave them both.

I'd gotten the box set because I'd read the first few books and wanted to know how it ends. Well, I mostly enjoyed the journey but I couldn't concentrate on the ending because the book was full of typos. Words would be replaced with synonyms and verbs would be used in the wrong tense. If I hadn't gotten it cheap, I would've stopped reading and returned the box set for a refund.

I lost sleep because this was better entertainment
I’m so tired. I got this on the evening of Monday 9/14 and have missed so much sleep between then and now (Fri 9/18)... it’s ridiculous. The storyline was perfect - not boring and not attempting to be over the top. The characters were believable and well fleshed out without being too descriptive.
There were some story flaws - where one thing was completely possible (due to being outside the characters, looking in) but the characters insisted it was impossible. Of course, with this build up, one would think the characters would show surprise when they found out a certain thing was possible - instead, it was written with a shrug in a couple sentences, belying the dramatic build up that took a few paragraphs sprinkled through a couple chapters. This issue annoyed me based on the beauty of the rest of the writing (the editors should have caught this!), but only happened about 2.5 times through the 8(?) books, so not terrible.
Conflict reasons for character development are great, but they were solved to soon/easily in the end. The story is a fantasy, but the characters seem so relatable and real that, to fall flat with their healing was kind of a disappointment (again, why didn’t the editors/publisher/w.e. not point this out? These changes aren’t monumental, wouldn’t have needed too much more sentences/paragraphs, but it would have made this tale more of a masterpiece than an intrigue... please, author, get new editors/publishers/w.e. Your art deserves more than they’re giving you!)
Please read, but don’t do as I have: get some freakin’ sleep so you can still function and get through work!
I’m looking forward to the next instalments - I hope they are pleasantly long!

Is there a supernatural creature that doesn't have a story in the boxset? I found gargoyles and socercerers (obviously!), vampires, dryads, sirens, riven and so many more. Whether part of the main story, or one of the side stories, these creatures and the emotions they possess make for wonderful fantasy tales. Lillian truly grows into her powers as the stories progress. There is more than meets the eye at first glance. In order to fully appreciate the over-reaching arc of the story, these must be read in order so the boxset, while lengthy, is perfect for this.

I don't like endless batles in books normally but this one has been so different to read. I enjoyed every single battle scene and all the humour in between. It stirred my emotions all the way through and I thoroughly enjoyed every single page. Some books although I enjoy the story there will always be some pages I skim. Not this series. it kept me entertained and literally on the edge of my seat and I was in tears by the end of it all and can't wait to get my hands on the next book in the series next year. Thank you for an enjoyable read.

Love, love, love this series.
I am so very sad that I am done reading this series. It captured my attention and my heart from the start, I looked forward to reading it each day, and was glad that I had the whole series to read.
The characters are so fun, and the books are written in such a way that you become very involved with their struggles and lives.
It was not a typical ho hum fantasy. It has love, a very bad guy to struggle against, and hope at the end for all. I really enjoyed this and am looking forward to the next series.

This was a wonderful series filled with supernatural creatures from dryads, gargoyles, vampires, and many more. The main storyline is about Lillian, a dryad, and her protector Gregory, a gargoyle. There are also several secondary storylines that really round out the series.
Ms. Blackwood does a remarkable job of describing her characters and scenes. You will be engrossed in this series before you finish the prequel.

Powerful stuff
I did not particularly enjoy the beginning of the story as I thought some of the bad language was gratuitous and did not come across like it added any realism to the situations, and very nearly stopped reading. But so pleased now that I carried on to the end, what a great read. I would recommend this to older audience, as there are a few drops of strong language but that takes a back seat in this magical ride of words

Highly enjoyable fantasy
I was introduced to a whole lot of far I hadn’t known about! And it was rather good that so many of them got on so well. Shapeshifting obviously got over some of the problems that might come from far of different body proportions having romantic relationships. Good to know that baddies can also be goodies. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a well-written book that mostly just wants to entertain you.

Better than great!
I highly recommend this complete 9 book series to anyone who loves fantasy stories. Lisa Blackwood is a genius Author. She makes you laugh & cry as you feel the happiness & sorrow of the characters.
I have never read a book where at least somewhere along the way that I didn't get bored to one degree or another. These books have no lags in them.
A great story!!!

This series was amazing!
I so enjoyed this series and I am going to be getting the other books from Lisa that is for sure! The Gargoyle and Sorceress series had me laughing, praising, cheering, and crying throughout the 9 books even at the very end I was wondering what was going to happen next! If you like happy endings and hopeful beginnings this is your series all the way ❤. Take care and I look forward to reading the rest of your books Lisa!

I have been intrigued by gargoyles since becoming a fan of the tv series so I was excited to see a box set full of gargoyle related stories. At first there was interesting twists to this story, but then the enemies kept stacking up and the sexual parts seemed to be placed just to have them there and I found myself stumbling over the details. I think the author and stories have potential but too much too soon. It felt like a word dump of sorts.

Inspiring read
Took a star of for the final book.Why the author choose to use so many different names for the gargoyles and othe magic users,just made it so hard to follow.I also feel let down by the final battle,most of it was about going up and down the battle field,more individualsbattles were a sideline rather than part of the main story.But that aside it was a good read not a cany put down book.But enough to get you reading to the end

Disappointing
The first chapter was repeated entirely in the following 2 chapters. There were endless repeats of other parts as well.
It felt like swaths of story were missing and you simply jumped from point a to point c several times.
Jason was entirely useless as a character. He needed far more backstory to be of any interest.
The human military commanding the magic military that's been around for millions of years... That's a stretch even for fantasy writing.

Skip the first chapter in the first book because it's a flashback and just gets repeated in the next. I was seriously interested in our characters and the overall world. The plot is jumpy though. Then they go on to; they're really attracted to each other but it's forbidden that they ever be together by the gods, and I said I was was not going to torture myself with 8 books of that. Pity.

Wonderful Paranormal Romance
I really enjoyed each book in this box set. I wanted to know the ending, but at the same time, I did not want to leave this world behind.
In the battle of good versus evil, not only is good triumphant but there is redemption, for some of evil's minions.

This series was absolutely entertaining and full of well thought out plots as well as being rich with characters. I want so much more of this, the ending triggers a feeling akin to your favorite TV series coming to a close. I highly recommend this to any fan of fantasy.

I have found a new author for my reading pleasure
I love a good epic story. This was everything and more. I love when a while series can be purchased as one. I can't wait to see the spinoff series from this one. The storyline was excellently developed. I fell in love with all of the characters. I think there are a lot of possibilities of what comes next!

Twists and turns
The twists and turns, ups and downs were very well written and kept me wanting. I can't wait to read more of Anna and Obsidian. I hated to have to put in the series down to sleep in or work!!!! amazingly well written from the start of book one until the last word in book nine!!

A gargoyle to love💞
Oh my gosh this box set was so good, I started it and couldn't stop from 1 book to the end. It was an adrenaline rush. So much action, love, laughs and crying. If you love these types of books I highly recommend this box set if you can get it or if you like buy each book separately. Enjoy💞

Lisa Blackwood weaves a tale that draws you in and holds you until the very end. Now that I have finished the entire 9 book set, my only regret is that I have to wait until December for more!! 4 stars for this series!

It was fantastic
It’s like your living their lives with them. I really hated to see the end of the last book. I loved the way it all flowed together with no “starting each book” and it just seemed one continued story.

Fascinating
Oh, my. Gargoyles and druids, dragons, Death and War, this book has all
those and more. This is a fascinating story and is 9 volumes in the telling. But, I'm letting you that it's worth it.
