Ascension by Caris Roane is an original, kick ass start to a new vampire series. If you are a lover of JR Ward and Lara Adrian, then you will enjoy Ascension. If you love possessive alpha males, then you will love the Warriors of the Blood-- Kerrick, Thorne, Marcus, Medichi, Jean-Pierre, Zacharias, etc. Vampire warriors that have wings, wear kilts, wield swords-- Caris Roane does a great job setting up this new mythology and you can't help but fall a little in love with these hunky new heroes.

The only thing that annoyed me about the book was the author's word choices. She is an excellent writer, don't get me wrong, but the one thing she used over and over is the word "cried". "Ger her out of here," he cried. "No!" he cried. "Let me go!" she cried. ARRGHHH! ENOUGH with that word! I just think the author needs to change up on that word, use a some synonyms like "shouted" or "yelled" or "exclaimed" etc.

Other then that, the book was amazing. I can't wait until May when the next book in the series comes out!
