Omorrow by C.L. Gaber will make you feel all the feels. Ms. Gaber does a fantastic job of doing that with this one.
Can Walker and her group get to The Hiding first?
Walker and her Group
Walker, Daniel, Peter, A.E., Eddie, Bertha, the Claires, and Tor were all a part of the group that was sent by their new Academy principal named Principal Dick. Let’s just say that most of this group aren’t great people. Walker and the group were all so great at first, and especially on paper, but when you put them out without supervision, not so much. I thought that maybe Principal Dick only set this group up to basically fail and only wanting the five freaks to get The Hiding. I love Walker, Daniel, Peter, A.E., Eddie, and Bertha working together, even if not all of them were on the same page.
What I like about this group is that once push came to shove of who will get to the Hiding first, only the ones that cared about getting Daniel out of ITT’s grip are the ones that helped them get to it. I love how Ms. Gaber gets the titles of the books from something that happens within the book itself.
Cass
Cass is another superb character. At first, I thought that Cindy (the author) was being mean to Cass. I can’t say what happened, but that was just wrong. Cass does help Walker out a lot on a ton of things in the past while he is stuck in the present time. I think that he and Walker are cute together, but I am torn since I also like Walker with Daniel. Time will tell with which one pulls me more toward their side. Cass is a great guy, though, that deserved more than what he is getting so far.
Five Stars
Omorrow by C.L. Gaber is this excellent book that just makes me want to continue reading to find out what happens next. I do have to say that only time will tell on which guy Walker will choose. Along with finding out how Daniel and his family survive. Will Bobby needs to be saved..again? Ms. Cindy Gaber, you have made me a long time fan of yours even if I want to stop when you hurt these precious little beans that you created, and I get to love.
If you haven’t started this series, you most definitely should, as I recommend it.

It took me a few days to even start to write the review for this book, because I couldn’t figure out a good way to word it. To be perfectly honest, I still don’t think I’ve found the right words. You know those books that are so great, they leave you feeling a bit dumbfounded & speechless? This book was a bit like that. The entire series is. The characters are amazing, the plot keeps you on your toes & taps into your well of emotions.There’s suspense, mystery, a bit of humor, and it touches on deep subjects as well -all without loosing the plot-line or causing the reader’s mind to stray. Also, probably the best thing of all, is that the Ascenders series is not only something I can enjoy, but my teenage daughter can as well. We both love this series and can’t wait for more!
The Ascenders story continues as Walker and Daniel jump through time in search of The Hiding, an artifact that could change the world, time, the Midst, everything for the better or, if it fell into the wrong hands, for evil. And while they work through the riddles posed during their search, they are tested at every turn and made to fight the demons that hide in the shadows of night. The only rule: don’t change anything in the past. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. It takes everything they have to abide by that rule. But they’re not alone. There are others searching for The Hiding, and it’s a race to see who can reach it first. And if they should find it first, what would happen if they turn it over to Principal Dick? What would become of them if they didn’t.
These characters are so striking and intense, and I can’t imagine the story being told without any one of them. There’s love and loss and betrayal and heartache and tragedy, and the search continues no matter what. The unexpected twists and turns as we watch the relationship between Walker and Daniel deeping make for edge of the seat reading. And that cliffhanger just about took me out.
I laughed, held my breath in disbelief, wanted to scream, shed some tears. It was an emotional journey, and I’m glad it isn’t over. I’m moving on to read the next chapter in the series next, and I can’t wait to dive into it to see what happens next.
I heart heart heart this series. How much I loved this series came as a complete shock to me. The premise of this series is an interesting concept. High School for the Recently Departed (dead kids’ high school was my nickname when telling Queen J). Not surprising, all of the characters in this story are dead. Children who died early in life and are in a sort of limbo, stuck feeling alive while continuing to attend high school post-death. It’s a little different than high school pre-death. Grades are not important; learning is.
Well now that you have the background tidbit, let me just attempt to focus on the best part of this series. The relationships. Whether it’s the love Daniel has for his siblings, Walker’s friendships at school, or the pure love between Daniel and Walker. The suspense and story line helped keep this series going, but what makes it so great is the emotion evoked from these characters. Prince Consort B can attest – he woke up one night to me sobbing (darn you Omorrow!).
My point here is this: this series is no ordinary young adult series. It has all the goods – interesting premise, great world building, emotional depth, and excellent character development. While some things are over the top ridiculous, it pales when comparing to the joy I felt while reading. Bottom line: this is a keeper.
One of my favorite things to read about is time travel and this book fits that bill to a T. I just love Daniel and Walker’s adventures with their odd but tight-knit group. I absolutely love this series and am anxious for the next book. I highly recommend it.
