When Lillian finds herself facing off against vampires and other mythological impossibilities, 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. Gregory 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. However, Gregory fears something from her childhood followed them to this world—he suspects Lillian is host to an infant demon, one capable of evil greater than even the Riven.

Extra complications arise when she realizes she’s concealing a forbidden love for her guardian. While she might be able to defeat the Riven with Gregory’s help, she does not know if her fragile new love can survive the evil growing in her own soul.

Author's Note: Sorceress Awakening was previously published as Stone’s Kiss and was part of the Urban Fantasy series called The Avatars.

The Gargoyle and Sorceress novels have a continuing story arc and should be read in order:

Stone cold steaming

October 4, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

A much slicker version than the prequel. However, seeing as the subject matter in the prequel is repeated in this "first" in series, the question obviously arise why have a prequel at all then.
A very innocent Lillian in the beginning of Sorceress Awakening soon turns into a wanton Lillian the further the story progresses. At times the mature content of sexual nature and some dark influences made me wonder whether Lillian should not have been called Lilith instead.
Nevertheless the mature content proves to be essential to the development in the plot. Despite that, some of these scenes stretches the believability factor somewhat.
I also had some credibility problems with the "vampires" and the "demon child".
However, overall the story flows well and I have no doubt the majority of readers will probably enjoy this.

I enjoyed it. It must have been revised since the earlier, very critical reviews. Possible spoilers.

July 30, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This is going to sound strange, but I THINK I received this book for free in exchange for an unbiased honest review. I think I did, but my computer ate my e-mails, so I can't tell. At any rate, it is worth reviewing and worth reading and is probably a 4.5, in my opinion. I really enjoyed it. It must have been heavily edited since the reviews in 2012 criticizing the grammar and punctuation. There were a few small errors, but not enough to really annoy me--and I'm very touchy about that. It's late and I've stayed up to finish it because I wanted to see how they would get to the HEA (happily ever after) that had to be coming. It did and it took a while. It is almost 4500 locations. And it's a HFN (happily for now) with the HEA still off in the future. A gargoyle and a sorceress/dryad combo--not something I've seen before. I want to know more about the grandmother and a couple of other characters and guess they may show up more in later volumes in the series. There are three visiting dryads, but only two play a part in the story and one appears to have gotten lost with only one mention of her as Auburn. I do wonder why the heroine is surprised at the size of the goddess, since she already knows her twin brother is a giant--so some things did slip through. Also she lived with her for 8 years, although is recovering from amnesia. Still, worth the read in my opinion.

Can a tender maiden find her destiny in the arms of a beautiful monster?

September 21, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

A lonely girl who is not quite comfortable in her skin, is strongly bound to a gargoyle statue in her maze garden. Little does she know that she has been partnered with this hunk for the ages. She is a dryad, and gargoyles are the male of the species. Alas, fate will not allow her a mating with this one, for they are Avatars of the male and female aspects of the higher god. All of this is revealed, bit by bit as the story is spun. There are, of course, dark forces that have plans for the pair. The book flows well, and as you learn the rules of the dance, it goes faster and faster, coming to an unsuspecting (and unfulfilled) ending that is a pause in the action until the next book. You should enjoy it, I did.

Interesting story

October 1, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This story has an interesting premise but the execution was lacking at times. There is a strange shifting aspect to this story. By this I mean the story draws you and gets you interested then turns around and reduces interest to almost nothing. The just about the time you're ready to give up, another interesting part hits. In combination with that, I had a really hard time following what was happening throughout this entire book. It just seemed to jump around a lot with not a lot of consistency in anything.
All of that said, I liked the driving idea and Gregory was great! I didn't love Lillian but that could be due to the shifting perspectives and focus all along.
I might read the next one just to see if it has improved. Also, just as the story looked to be shaping up, it ended so a moderate cliffhanger. It was almost like the first chapter of the next book was tacked on the end of this book to "finish" it.

Sorceress Awakening - Book 1

February 10, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I had read this wonderful story before but never left a review. I really enjoyed Lillian, a dryad and Gregory, a gargoyle. It is a love story right from the start. He being her protector in every way. They fight all sorts of nasties especially the evil Riven. Death seems to be at every page when demons and the Riven try to destroy the Clan and Coven. A wonderful ending. - Kathy Barber Doyle - 2/10/2017

if you enjoy it as much as I did you will be ...

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

the author has spun and weaved a very engaging story here with many elements and facets with such deft precision that one wonders if it was derived of her imagination or if it is something she actually lived. the characters and scenery of the story are brought to vivid clarity in ones minds eye as you read without much help from ones own imagination. if you enjoy it as much as I did you will be pleased to know it is just the first part of a much larger and engaging story. I hope there will be more to come from this author as I'm sure it will be equally well crafted. kudos lisa blackwood!

A fantastic PNR with a bit of a twist. One you should not miss.

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

What an amazing book. Ms. Blackwood can weave a story that is lacking nothing. It has humor, plots and twists and turns unexpected surprise's, the book kept me on the edge of my seat, and flipping pages as fast as I could read. I just could not put it down. Light verses dark as a long fought battle that will never end, and a good story that fights darkness no matter what is always a treasure. Ms. Blackwood's writing of the fight scenes are outstanding, I felt like I was hiding behind a tree and watching it was precise. I have to give this book 20, 30 stars. It is a keeper and going on my eBook shelf. I recommend Sorceress Awaking very, very much.

Who would have thought that gargoyles can be sexy hot? Get rid of any previous ideas you had about them!

Devoured this book in one sitting! Wonderful story and totally new for me. Never read any books with gargoyles as one of the leading characters. Always found them repulsive but this book has totally changed my views. I am so excited for this series and can't wait to have all the books in my collection so I can re-read them over and over. After discovering this book, am excited to get into more of Lisa Blackwood's books. She creates lovable characters, storytelling, and worlds.
