This is the first book I read for this author. the story is good but It's long ,gets boring and repetitive. Reminds me of Lora Leigh breeds series and the mating heat.
This book was a breath of fresh air. I love the Brotherhood series from J.W. Ward, and I think they are a little similar but in a good way. Ascension is about a group of vampire warriors called Warriors of the Blood. They are an elite fighting unit of usually seven powerful warriors, each with phenomenal preternatural ability and capable of battling several death vampires at any one time. So you ask what are death vampires? Well they are any vampire male or female who partakes of dying blood automatically becomes a death vampire AKA the bad guys. This book is about Alison a woman who is an ascender and does not know how powerful she really is. She knows she's been different all her life and she has to answer the call of ascension. When she ascends she will become permanently a part of a dimension where she will fight of death vamps. So of course Kerrick has to be the hero and help her ascend. In J.W. Ward's book my only complain is the endless stories about Lash and the Omega. I browse through some of those sections, they are important for the book because they are the bad guys however IMO it's too much info. Here Greaves the main death vamp makes appearances but they are interesting and to the point. Also both writers have the whole smell thing going on when you find your brethren. This book is a great start to what I think will be a great series. It has potential to be right there along with the Brotherhood series.
This was a decent story. There are similarities to the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. The characters were well developed. I'm not normally a fan of romance books so the "steamy" scenes of the book were starting to work on my nerves after a while. There were slow parts to this book as well and I did find myself skimming over a lot of the narrative to get to the dialogue during the last 1/4 of the book because it seemed very repetative. Those things aside, this was a decent book. If you enjoy paranormal romance you will enjoy this book.
