Review: Ascension

Ascension by A.S. Fenichel
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Synopsis:

When demons threaten London, Lady Belinda answers the call.

Lord Gabriel Thurston returns home from war to find his fiancée is not the sweet young girl he left behind. She’s grown into a mysterious woman who guards her dark secrets well. When he sees her sneaking away from a ball, he’s convinced it’s for a lover’s rendezvous. Following her to London’s slums, Gabriel watches in horror as his fiancée ruthlessly slay a man.

Lady Belinda Carlisle’s only concern was her dress for the next ball—until demons nearly killed her and changed everything. A lady by day, and a demon hunter by night, she knows where her duty lies. Ending her betrothal is the best way to protect Gabriel from death by a demon’s hand.

Gabriel soon realizes, like him, Belinda has been fighting for her country. He joins in the fight, determined to show her that their love can endure, stronger than ever. 

My Thoughts:

Cover/Title: The series name is really what drew me in. The cover only gave me n idea of the time period. The title really didn't give me much of a hint.

Characters: I loved the characters. Gabriel and Thaddeus are definitely not your typical gentry of that era. I loved that Belinda is such a strong heroine. I really can't say much about Sabrina as she had so little of an appearance in the book. You really don't get to know her.

Plot: I love that the author took this time era and added in demons and demon hunters. The fact that society has no idea that there are demons in their mist is interesting to say the least.

Overall: I really enjoyed this books. I really think this series has lots of potential and I can't wait to delve into it.
