{Review} The Griffin Cryer by Julia Hughes

Series: The Griffin Cryer #1

Publication date: December 10, 2012

Publisher: Talon

ASIN: B00AM5GQUG

Synopsis

Probability of mythological creatures existing = the same as finding a needle in a haystack the size of the Empire state.

Probability that said mythological creature shares same name as your dog = the same as to find that one day that my brother’s dog dances mambo like a pro.

Probability of you trying to call your dog and instead said creature appear = the same as knowing the exact number of grains of sand that are on Earth.

Well it seems I just made the impossible happen, while trying to find my dog after it ran off I called for him but instead of a lost dog glad to see his owner, there was a griffin and its rider from another world.

Review

The Griffin Cryer is an exciting story; it is a tale of world travelers, mythological creatures, magic and love.

The way Julia Hughes writes has a nice tempo to it, you can get lost on the narration, but there are certain points where you might get lost a bit because of the slang or the way I assume people phrase their phrases in this region.

One of the things I love the most about this book was that even if I think I got a sense about who Frankie is, there is always this layer underneath her that keeps me on my toes waiting for her to surprise us. Then there is the Rider, the guy that we may not get to know as well as we would like to but has a funny way of making the reader trust him and want to see more of what he can do, his past and who he really is.

A thing to keep in mind is that when I talk about love in this book, I don’t really mean romance, the type of love that flourishes in this book is the love for family, the love shared as friends. This book leaves the opportunity for love to grow, but the main focus on love isn’t the one you feel for your lover.

I do think this story could have been more memorable, it has interesting protagonist each of them with a goal of their own and we get to see how they need each other to resolve it, you do get excited, sad and happy for them but it’s not the full hard blows your mind up. I wish to see how Julia grows on the next installment of the Griffin Cryer, in my opinion this book is a good beginning to what can be a great story.

{Cover Wars} The Griffin Cryer by Julia Hughes

Why hello there!! Welcome to another edition of Cover Wars! This week we have a special creature one that we don’t normally read about, a story where worlds collide and where a call is to blame, let’s take a look at this week’s book The Griffin Cryer by Julia Hughes.

It's an easy mistake to make - instead of whistling and calling for her dog, fifteen year old Frankie accidentally summons a griffin and his rider from another world. The Rider is tall, blond and extremely rude. On the other hand, Balkind is the sweetest, most lovable griffin Frankie's ever met, and Frankie is determined to help the Rider and his griffin find a way back to their own world.

Dealing with parallel universes, disgruntled warriors, and hungry griffins is the easier part of Frankie's life. At school, Frankie learns friends can become enemies, teachers aren't always right, and the boy of your dreams can be all too human.

Now that we know what The Griffin Cryer is about, shall we take a look at the contestans?? First we have the girl that should have a shocked looked on her face, but instead stand tall by the strange circumstances that now befalls her; here we have the Griffin Cryer’s first book cover.

Next we have the girl that will not turn her back to the Griffin, the girl to who the sky opens up to; we have the Griffin Cryer’s book cover make over.

So guy’s let us know which cover has your heart, what you love or you would change of this two Griffin packed covers.
