Ascension

The Demon Hunters, Book 1

De: A. S. Fenichel

Narrado por: Aria Holland, Piers Ryman

When demons threaten London, even ladies must answer the call....

Lord Gabriel Thurston returns home from war to find his fiancée much changed. She's grown from a sweet girl 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 lovers' rendezvous. Following her to London's slums, Gabriel watches in horror as his fiancée ruthlessly slays a man.

Lady Belinda Clayton's only concern was her dress for the next ball—until demons nearly killed her, and a group of Demon Hunters saved her life. Now, 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 at a demon's hands.

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—even at the gates of Hell.

Good start

A good start to a series. I enjoyed the mix of regency and demons. Though I do wish there was more lore for the demons in the story and the romance in the beginning was a little troubling for me but as it progressed it got a lot better. The action was great and intense. The conflict kept me on the edge of my seat and I loved the side characters. I’m curious to see more of those characters as the story progresses.

Strong Female Lead

This is book 1 in the series and can be read/listened to as a standalone. It has a weird chapter 18a and 18b at the end. You will think you are having Deja vu. Just skip the second retelling. It'sthe same as the first without an epilogue. The story has a strong female lead who grows up while her fiance is away in the war. She experienced a life changing event and rather than ending up terrified of life she decides to fight against the creatures that wronged her. The H returns to find the h is much different but his love remains steadfast. There are a few explicit love scenes and sex before marriage.
