Wow, this is a great page turner! The characters are thoroughly built, relatable, fun, and It has some really solid character arcs.
However, the best thing has to be this authors ability to “world” build. She created a universe that explains magic, the devil, evil, everything. I mean she found a way to fit everything in perfectly, really impressive.
Once you find an author that can world build like that read their books, all of them! Super excited to finish this book and read her future ones.

From the start, the story pulls you in and immediately you want to know more. The characters are diverse and have full representation. Very rare to find a book that makes a point to avoid ableism and sexism. The side characters give this story such a unique feel to reading it. Watching the twins grow and figure out who they are was such a fun journey. I was sad to see this story end and am left wanting more. Absolutely plan on purchasing the next installment and further ones to come. For a debut

Loved this book. I enjoyed the use of mythological characters and creatures. I really like the coming of age aspect of this book. The book felt familiar without being predictable. Can’t Wait for the sequel!
I highly recommend. You'll actually care about the characters. The twists and turn are organic and make sense. You will not be disappointed in this purchase. I'm anxiously waiting for the next book in the series.
A MUST READ! This was an amazing book, I was hooked from beginning to end. The authors ability to make you feel like you’re seeing everything along with the characters is unlike anything I’ve read!! I can’t wait for book 2!
I could not put this down!!! So many unexpected twists. Definitely very original and very amazing!!! With most books I can usually guess what is going to happen, but that was not the case with Ascend. I love Arya!!!
Read this in about 24 hours! The characters are very engaging and I always love a new twist on an old theme. I want a unicorn, or maybe a Pegasus?!
Great Book
The beginning of the book definitely grabbed my attention as I love fantasy novels. The characters are very well developed. And the story line has a few amazing twist and turns. As well as a few that were obvious. My favorite character so far has been Amber. The twins more or less aggravate the living hell out of me. No pun intended . Seriously they are every bit as defiant as Harry Potter and that’s why I absolutely love them. The book has a few Potter undertones, which made the book ...more

I’ve been following LM since her debut on Wattpad and am so excited to see her published....what a well deserved and overdue honor! I love ancient mythology myself, so to find a story so rich and intertwined yet easy to read (but hard to put down) is quite refreshing! You will not regret this purchase! Enjoyable by both adults and YA readers alike. So nice to have a hard copy available now but will always remember her beginnings on WP

This book is amazing and very genuine. The author used so many real life situations that needed more light brought to them and added some very creative twists! The book followed so well I did not want it to end. I cannot wait to read all of book two! 100% I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a good read!
Not to be biased because I wrote it but I am: It's a really wholesome, inclusive coming of age story about fraternal twins Arya and Xavier. They are about to turn sixteen as perfectly ordinary kids raised by a single mom, living in Peak's Village, Colorado when they learn everything they think they know is all wrong. Their mother is the Lilith from legend and their father is nothing they ever expected. After they "ASCEND" to claim their birthright, they discover the world their mother kept

This book blew my mind. I admittedly wasn’t expecting much from an indie author, but wow. From the imagery to the plot line to the intricate character details, I was hooked. I absolutely cannot wait for the second book!!!
“This book has everything that is desired when reading, first the story flows like a river (I don’t remember it dragging once), second descriptive characters, I felt like I knew everyone that was introduced in this book and not only that, I wanted to know them.”

Great story!!!!
This was an awesome story and I was saddened when I realized book 2 is not out yet. Now I have to wait for the words to be written. Not sure if I have the patience. Please hurry.
