Blog Tour: Ascension (Gryhon Series Book 4) by Stacey Rourke And GIVEAWAY
From best selling and award winning author Stacey Rourke comes the heart-pounding continuation of the acclaimed Gryphon Series.
The turning point of the Gryphon saga is at hand …
Battle looms. Three unstoppable forces prepare to clash in a colossal explosion that could wipe Gainesboro off the map. Fate and sacred calling have landed nineteen year old Celeste Garrett in the middle with nowhere to run.
Her trust wavers as she uncovers dark secrets of the Council, powerful enough to test her loyalty and turn her against those she swore to protect. Playing to the longing of her heart, a malevolent enemy uses her weakness against her to form an alliance.
With the trumpets of war about to sound, which side will the Conduit choose, and who will be left standing?
I received this ARC to give an honest review.
Man oh man I do not even want to write this review as I know I may end up giving up some spoilers lol.
In Book 4 of this amazing series we continue where book 3 Sacrifice left off.
The characters in the book are just amazing as before. Each having their own witty comments and humor within almost everything that comes out of their mouth. Grams is still one of my favorite characters (besides the hot Rowan and Caleb).
There are some secrets that come up and boy is Celeste madder than dirt. Not only that the council has turned their back on them unless Celeste does what they want. Go figure don't they know Celeste has a mind of her own.
There is a major fight scene like no other that has the other fight scenes in the previous books look like a cake walk.
There is so much going on with this book that the way the ending is written I do wonder if there could be a book five in the works? Maybe? Fingers are crossed.
Two of many of my favorite parts within the book are as followed:
"The old people are the only ones that brought weapons. Does anyone else find that disturbing?"
Keni "The New Adult section broke my fall." "Yikes, now I'm nervous it may have impregnated me in the process."
Each character will have you laughing in your own way. Especially The Dark Glee Club (I mean there can not be a book without them in it right?) there is humor, love lost, love found, heart-ache, a sense of compassion for the countess and so much more.
Celeste has to make decisions and they may or may not be for the best. You just have to read to find that out.
If you have not read the other books in this series I highly suggest you get busy reading them so you can start this book. You will not be disappointed!
There is nothing worse than being put on the spot and asked to talk about yourself. For me it brings back that inevitable moment in a new school when the teacher would ask me to stand up, introduce myself and tell the class something about myself. I was always worried I would blurt out something stupid that I would get teased for. Something like, “My name’s Stacey and I like pickles!” Then for the rest of the school year I’d be known as the Pickle Girl and let’s be honest, no one wants that. So to avoid such a faux pas I will simply say that I love to write. It allows me to get my crazy out just enough that I can function as a normal member of society.
