I have been really excited to bring you this review. I asked to review Ascension on a whim, not even sure what I’d get. In the end, I haven’t regretted it one second.

 

For me, Ascension receives a good, solid four and a half stars.

Belinda is a heroine that made me happy on so many levels. She was strong, self-sufficient, and didn’t take any BS from anyone. In an age when women were supposed to be soft of body and mind, she’d grown hard after an attack by demons exposed her to a world unlike any she’d known before. While her fiance was off fighting in the war, she begins fighting her own war at home & by the time he returns, neither of them are the same. She worries he’d never accept what she’s become and tries to push him away…but can’t deny the age-old burning attraction between them.

I loved Belinda. So much.

However my true heart belongs to Gabriel. He comes home to a fiancee foreign to him in many ways, but he refuses to let go of his love for her.  When he learns what she’s doing there are so many things you would expect a hero to do–but Gabriel does none of them.  Even though he’s worried for her and doesn’t want to lose her to a brutal death by demon, he supports her need to do so, in fact he joins in the fight.

He admits his fears, but supports her anyway. He is the ultimate hero. I love him so much. So very much. I want a Gabriel of my own, can I please?

The story lagged for me a little in the middle, but then picked back up, and that’s the only reason for the cutting of half a star.

Overall, this has been one of my favorite reads of the year, and I can’t wait to see more from A.S. Fenichel!

Blurb

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 slays 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.
