FAE'S ASCENT
Clover, #2
by Nicole Kilpatrick
Narrator: Cassandra Alling
Length: 9 hours and 4 minutes
Released: April 1st 2022
Publisher: Nicole Kilpatrick
Genre: Young Adult Fantasy


   The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . FAE'S ASCENT (Clover, #2) . . . I am going to put this simply. You get so much more. Clover comes to be her own person/fae. She learns much and endures much. This one has more action and adventure to feed on from book one of this series. We see more of Clover and what she should become. 

Cassandra's voice was familiar and allowed for me to jump right back in to the world that I enjoyed the first time around. 

I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Nicole Kilpatrick. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it. 



May the road rise up to meet her. 

After barely escaping Alistair’s clutches, Clover struggles to unleash and master her dormant powers as she embraces her merrow lineage while still staying true to her human self. With the Seelie and Unseelie armies on the verge of war, the clock is ticking, but when a centuries-old secret is uncovered, alliances and loyalties are put to the test and both her worlds come crashing down around her. 

To defend against Alistair, protect the fate of the Fae, and safeguard her loved ones, Clover must soar higher than she’d ever thought possible. 

In this action-packed sequel, the very loss and heartache that could lead to Clover’s ruin could also lead to her redemption. The choice is hers.

    Excerpt from Chapter One:
    The room smelled of sweat, cigarette smoke, and a tad bit of spilled beer drying on hot concrete. The stench of inebriated desperation was palpable. Theirs hadn’t been the only poker game when Nick O’Leary first came into the gambling den, but now everyone had gathered around their table to watch. Everyone looked so strange to him all of a sudden, as if his frayed nerves had somehow made everything sharper and more focused. The lad in the pale blue suit, too handsome. The lady who smelled of lilacs, what was up with those ears? The whole lot of them seemed caricatures of their former selves, and in the center, staring at him with the greenest eyes he’d ever seen was Alistair.
    “I don’t enjoy waiting, my friend.” He smirked as he theatrically drummed his fingers on the table.
    Alistair wasn’t Nick’s friend at all. He had just met the guy that day at a Las Vegas casino. He had cajoled him into a private poker game, and Nick had been too much of a gambler to resist. There was something about him that was hard to say no to. He was expertly groomed, immaculately dressed, and extremely good-looking, and yet for all these attributes, he somehow looked out of place. He was like a Picasso in a sea of wallpaper. Nick found himself wanting to be in the man’s presence.
    Next thing he knew, Nick was in a gambling den ten blocks off the strip, in what would appear to be an oddly high stakes game of poker, face to face with the mysterious Alistair.
    “See, I’m not sure I understand,” Nick stammered.
    “It’s quite simple really. We’ve, shall we say, upped the ante? Money is so passé nowadays, don’t you think? My preferred currency is luck.”
    The last word drew a collective gasp from the now captivated crowd.
    “Look, I really don’t know where you’re going with this…”

    “Pretend that I may give you luck and pretend that I too may take it away. Upon this premise, my friend, we shall place our final bets. If you win, I am prepared to offer a lifetime of providence. If I win, you will surrender said providence to me, commencing immediately until the day of your death.”
