I received a free copy from the author last week, in exchange for my honest review - good or bad.  Normally, I would've read and reviewed this book within days, but Life showed up (LOL), but the tidbits I read gave me something to look forward to.  Thank goodness yesterday, Sunday, I had the evening to myself.Wow!  My reaction after finishing the last line in the book - It is non-stop action/adventure.  Elise and Rylie team up again to fight a threat bigger than "The Union", whom seeks to incarcerate and/or kill those whom are Non-Human.  But in their quest to save humanity and paranormals, sacrifices are made and an opportunity to reverse lycantrophy sets off a chain of events, that leaves many to make life changing decisions.Toward the end all Hell breaks loose (Literally), and all whom Elise and Rylie's holds dear could be lost.  Both will have to find a way to live with their decisions and ramifications.  Elise will have to face herself and her fears to right some wrongs.In the end, I was heartbroken, but the cliffhanger leaves much for interpretation.  I can't wait for the next book; "Ruled By Steel", in the mean time I am planning on finishing the last few books of the "Descent Series", which will give me deeper insight into Elise - how delicious is that!  ;-)This "Ascension Series" takes characters from three other series; "Seasons Of The Moon, "The Cain Chronicles" and the "Descent Series".  You do Not have to read the prior series to start this story, although if you want more in-depth info. on most characters, reading the old series will be worth your time.  I've yet to read anything by S.M. Reine, that I didn't like.  She's an awesome writer, I hope will write faster.
