Adversity (The Ascent Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Melody Winter (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.8 out of 5 stars 8 ratings
Athena Harrow is on the run. Destined for a life she managed to evade, she flees with Erebus before his brother’s threat can prove true.
But within their newfound refuge, they discover secrets long held close in the historical city of York—a creature thought to have been wiped out when the demons ascended. A creature whose existence renews Athena’s determination to restore the light.
However, attacks by Erebus’s brother and his promised army shatters those plans. Faced with the responsibility for the loss of numerous innocent lives, Athena makes a choice. To protect those around her, she’ll surrender to the Master Demon’s dark world.
Life with the Master is intolerable, though, and conflicted Athena is not what he expected. With time against her, and the Master losing patience, will Athena find the Master’s secret to restoring the light? Will she manage to escape the Master and the fate she was chosen for on her twenty-first birthday? And will she be able to return to York to reunite with the man she loves?
Tumultuous and emotional, ADVERSITY is the gripping conclusion to this dark romantic fantasy.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Growing up, Melody showed a natural ability in art, a head for maths, and a tendency to write too long English essays. Difficult to place in the world when she graduated, she pursued a career in teaching, but ended up working in finance. Melody is convinced the methodical times she spends working with numbers fuel her desire to drift into dream worlds and write about the illusory characters in her head.

Melody lives in York, North Yorkshire, England with her husband and two sons. When not dealing with football, rugby, and a whole plethora of 'boy' activities, she will be found scribbling notes for her stories, or preparing for another trip to the nearby beaches at Scarborough and Whitby. With an obsession for anything mythical, Melody revels in reading and writing about such creatures.

    5.0 out of 5 stars If you think its Unlikely for a Human to love a Demon? You'd be wrong

    I loved the first book (Iniquity) where I was introduced to a world where Demons take control.
    With all the Evil and Horrible things that occurred, a love story between a Human and a Demon was hard to believe. However Melody has written a truly great love story where that is exactly what happens. You find yourself rooting for the unlikely couple of Athena and the demon Erebus.

    Now this sequel, Adversity, keeps that love story going but with lots of action and romance.
    Melody actually gets you to dislike an Angel !!
    But don't fret because you eventually understand why the Angel Michael is the way he is.
    I was on the edge of my seat, so to speak, to find out how Athena manages to keep safe from the Master Demon and get back to her true love Erebus.
    Athena also has the added challenge of eluding a very nasty and evil vampire who desperately wants to hurt and murder her.
    All the while trying to solve the mystery of her most wanted dream of returning the light to the world.
    Lots of twists and turns and new mysteries are revealed. I will warn you..... you will need tissues.
    You won't regret taking this adventure into this fantasy world. I didn't.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great story
    Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2020

    It was a great continuation of a fantastic dark love fantasy. The first half of the book was very clumsily written with a stiff, forced dialogue which took away from the enjoyment of the book. Also the readers are not elementary age children to have all conclusions spelled out for them and repeated twice more for a good measure. We can follow the story and make connections. All of it can be remedied because the story was very good and engaging.

    I have given Melody's latest offering FIVE STARS!!

    I am a masssive fan of Melody Winter, everything she writes is just magic.
    This series is perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas. Adversity is everything you need in a fantasy sequel. It was fast paced and action packed and will have you on the edge of your seat.
