Ascend

Hocking, Amanda
Amanda Hocking lives in Minnesota, had never sold a book before April 2010 and has now sold over a million. According to the Observer, she is now 'the most spectacular example of an author striking gold through ebooks'. Amanda is a self-confessed 'Obsessive tweeter. John Hughes mourner. Batman devotee. Unicorn enthusiast. Muppet activist.' Her books include the Trylle Trilogy, the Watersong series and the Kanin Chronicles.

"This series has a bit of everything--magic, myth, action, romance...ah, the romance! There is something so appealing about forbidden love, especially when it leads to a happily-ever-after. I have to say, I love the way this ended. Of course, I won't give spoilers, but the ending was perfect." --"Diary of A Bibliophile"



"Hocking is so talented in her ability to mold characters and have them grow, a rare talent many authors lack. She has the ability to make the growth of these characters amazingly realistic. Now, I won't give anything away but I will say READ them! They are amazing!" -"The First 100 Pages "



"I read these three books back-to-back-to-back. The story had me so engaged, that I could not put it down. I was reading in the car, at school, on my bed, at the dinner table, and in the media room. You could call it an obsession." -"Reading Vacation Reviews"

"""Loved this book! One of the best final books I've ever read. I feel like the ending went a little fast but Im a sucker for a nice happy ending and I just plain LOVE this series!" -"Library Thing"

"""With each book, we have seen Wendy transition from a young girl to a strong heroine. And with the romance, Hocking throws in a nice surprising twist that was refreshing, and which makes "Ascend" shine even brighter. The Trylle Trilogy is recommended for all paranormal fans no matter what your age." -"Nocturne Romance Reads""""A very fast read, I really enjoyed it and recommend it to anyone that likes romance, conflict, and the paranormal." -"Kathy's Book Bag"
