Book Description...
"When Rose was born in the year 1544, she and the other gargoyles were a beautiful race of humans with dragon's wings. Created by magic, the gargoyles were able to do and take whatever they wanted... Until the vampires came, and with them, they brought a curse.
Almost five hundred years later, Rose awakens from stone in Washington DC, to a world that's very much changed. The kingdom of the gargoyles is no more; instead, the same group of blood suckers that cursed Rose's family now rule a hierarchy of shades and shadows.
Desperate to awaken her loved ones and break the spell, Rose learns she must convince Sean Noble, a human, to fall in love with her. Something that should have been easy... if he and Rose weren't only seventeen, and required to attend school.
Sean and his high school girlfriend dislike Rose as much as they do homework. And to make things worse, the handsome vampire prince, Adamus, who betrayed Rose in the year 1556, he and his bad boy brother have surfaced....
Rose, before graduation, must find a way to keep her identity secret from Adamus, not let him get too close, and trick Sean into falling in love. Easy if you have wings, right? Not so much.
Readers of Twilight, Vampire Diaries, and Shadow Hunters will love this story's female hero who brings a new level of fierce into a supernatural game."

Review:
"When Gargoyles Rise" by Ashley C. Harris
My Thoughts....
This was an interesting take on an ancient group of gargoyles that will keep your attention all the way through the read. If you are into the supernatural then this is a read for your enjoyment! I liked how this author was able to give us story that starts in the present on to the past and back to the present with a cliffhanger in the present [now what will happen to rose, Sean, Sam and Felix?]. To find out you will have to pick up 'When Gargoyles Rise.'
There was definitely a non romance period and the clash with different time eras that will all come together into one good storyline. It seems like everything was OK until the vampires appeared and who was their to save these people? Be ready for "Gargoyles, Vampires, Wizards, Witches, Royal Families, Super's, Slaves, Servs, HS Students, Evil Royals, Rape, Pillage & Plunder, Good Hearted Do Gooding Royals, Murder, Magic & Mayhem"
will be found in this story. So, again if this is you kind of thriller, suspense paranormal read you will be in for quite a intriguing ride with plenty of twist and turns.
