I really hate to do this because I know how much work goes into writing and having a book published. But...this book was almost a "did not finish" for me. It had all the elements: attractive men, paranormal romance theme, vampires; all of the things that keep me turning pages but it fell short. Now, I am a JR Ward BDB, KMM Fever series, Larissa Ione Demonica, Chloe Neill Chicagoland Vampire, Jeaniene Frost Cat and Bones, fan. I can't put this book anywhere near those. And for those of you whoAscension suffers a common first book in a series problem - too much backstory dragging down the story. There was also way too many POVs for my comfort - the hero, the heroine, and the villain I expect but we also had the hero's boss, the boss's boss, the villain's henchman. Each one had to go further into depth about their feelings, desires, disapointments etc. There were several times I was thinking - I don't care! Get back to the story!That doesn't mean that Ascension was a bad book just a
4.5 stars. I really liked this book. It captured my interest, imagination, and emotions and kept me reading from the very start.I really am sucked in and have been fighting sleep at night to read it. I think the series has a lot of potential. In some ways it's very original and in others it is similar to other brotherhood warrior books. But it's definitely holding my attention, which doesn't happen often. :) I love the characters and the world she's created is really interesting.It has a lot of
Rating: 3.5 starsReview: It took me almost a week to get through this book. I simply couldn't get into the story. I tried, I really did, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't seriously consider dropping this book several times. Alison seemed extremely needy to me, and it's understandable given the life she's led, but when it comes to her relationship with Kerrick, I really didn't see anything on her part but a simple need to belong to someone, anyone. I felt it had less to do with Kerrick and more
I really, really enjoyed Ascension!! Much more than I ever thought I would, actually. Caris Roane is building a very interesting world with this series. While it may bear some similarities to other PNR series, I do think quite a bit of it is very original. Kerrick and Alison are a great couple, and I enjoyed following their relationship over the course of this story. I especially love that, when it ends, you feel like there is a good chance you'll be visiting with these characters again!
Be ready for a fun filled action packed read. This first book in the series has soooo much going on. Ms Roane has done an excellent job of creating this amazing world. I love the world building, the characters and the jist of the story line. I'm so glad I ran across this book and I can't wait for then next book in the series. According to her blog we get two more this year!!!Back to my review...like I said I love the characters, they both know what they want and need but in the beginning fight
