I was granted an ARC of Grace Goodwin’s “Ascension Saga: 9 (Interstellar Brides®: Ascension Saga)” via Booksprout; I recommend this book to others based upon its own merits. All opinions expressed within this review are uniquely my own & freely given!
Until next time… Happy Reading!
I loved this series. It is one of my favorites. Hate to have it end.
This is the last book in the Interstellar Brides series. Although the blurb says it’s about Destiny, I’d say it answers all the questions from the whole series. We find out what was going on, why, and how they manage to win. Several twists. Fun, fast read. (I voluntarily reviewed an ARC).
It was an interesting way to end Destiny and Nix’s story. The way the queens rescue happened was not what I expected, The way Destiny, Faith & Trinity’s father came back into the story wasn’t my favorite ending, it felt like the author was running out of ideas to finish the story.
Destiny, part 3 is the final installment of the amazing Ascension Saga. And where we find out what happens with Destiny and Nix. He’s met his match, but so has she and holy moly do they pair up perfectly.
Destiny, part 3 is where we finally find out the who’s behind the kidnapping and holding of Queen Celene and just what’s going to happen to her and her three daughters: Trinity, Faith and Destiny.
Don’t look any further for details. I’m sharing nothing except some of my reactions as I read:
1. Destiny, come on!
2. Nix, get it together.
3. Whoa, didn’t see that one coming.
4. Holy crap!
5. **big grin on my face**
6. Perfect!
This series was amazing and this last book in the series was awesome. This series was jammed packed with action smoking hot love scene between the main characters and the journey these ladies face and the discoveries was hands down amazing. No spoilers here check out this series.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
We finally get our ending to this wonderful Saga! I have to say that this story has been long (look at the number of pages Grace has graced us with) this is a long story. If you get the chance to read this saga read it in the box set it will be so much easier and will flow better.
So this last book brings everyone together finally and gives us the whole story and why everything happened the way it happened. I loved the last twist and turns we got. Good job Grace! Well worth the wait! This is a great saga and will reread now that all the books are out.
Let’s start off by saying that this is one of my favorite paranormal/sci-fi author’s and we love everything this author writes.What an imagination this author has and always creates sexy and hot and steamy books for us to read .We are loving these off the planet romance reads!One of the things we are loving about this current series is that we are really loving its character’s.
This story is an ongoing one but, Destiny and Nix’s story has just begun.The Queen still missing but, the Princesses Trinity,Faith,Destiny have taken things in their own hands and upped their game in trying to find their mother.
We loved this current story it was fun,witty super hot and funny as he**.Omg ! these men in this story are sexy as Sin. Nix got a taste off just what his mate Destiny was capable of .
I loved the romance between Nix and Destiny they were matched perfectly for one another both dominate and stubborn by nature but, Nix has met his match in Destiny whats-more she is his mate ! Oh! Boy!
Without giving anything away let’s just say this couple are perfectly matched in and out of bed! Holy hotness and highly erotic my kind of read!
One of things we love about this author and the book’s she creates for us is she knows how to write some serious hot erotic books.As the story is coming to a close Nix and Trinity still can’t keep their hands off one another or their clothes on and he is still getting caught in his naked state and every time he does its hilarious.
The author did an amazing job tyeing up all the those lose ends and we have to say that we loved all the surprises that happened in this current story along with one whopping OMG moment !
For a short read it was packed with tons of hotness,laughs,drama,mystery and we loved it from cover to cover!
We are really going to miss these character’s as the were a blast to read about and a lot of fun.
Although we don’t know much about the Queens husband from Earth what we do know about him we loved and you are the bomb!
Personal note:My only complaint is that I dislike reading a series this way.I dislike that it takes 3 books to tell one princesses story and this is one of the things that turns me away from authors like these.
I have no problem with a main plot story that continues through out the current series you are writing a lot of writers do that but, I dislike reading a story that just ends almost like a cliffhanger.
I love this author’s works I just wish she had written Trinity,Faith,Destiny books as a whole not in pieces for each princess.
Ascension Saga: Book 9 is the exciting conclusion to both Destiny’s trilogy and to the whole saga. Destiny and Nix are so close to figuring out who took the Queen, but will the villain win in the last play?
This saga has been amazing and has had me waiting anxiously to see how it all ends! There is a lot that get revealed in this book, with a plot twist that I was NOT expecting! I absolutely loved Destiny and Nix. Destiny is such a strong heroine, loves to take action, and I love how fiercely protective of those she loves! Nix, I think, won my heart in this story, because of his reactions to Destiny and how he allows her to be her. He doesn’t expect her to change, as long as she recognizes that she’s his, and he gets to protect her! I love how well they work together and how they trust each other. One thing I do have to say is that the beginning of this book is action packed! I absolutely loved the beginning! It really slowed down in the middle, but it works out okay because the ending is super good! I don’t want to give anything away, though! Definitely read these books in order, but you’re going to fall in love with Trinity, Faith, and Destiny!
Destiny and Nix are finally going to end it all. It seems as though this story will be the true and last installment of the Ascension sisters. Trinity, Faith, and Destiny have all met their mates and are in place to rescue the crown from the evil amongst them. But what about Mom, the true Queen, Celene ?? What about the killer ?? What about their Dad who’s been left bak on earth ?? Well the answers are ALL here, in the last saga. But it’s for us to know and for you to read and find out. You will be surprised !! I know I was, never saw it coming. Ms. Grace did a great job and for me this really was the best of the lot. Worth to read the others too b/c if not for them the ending doesn’t make a lot of sense. Read the series and you won’t be disappointed.
What a stunning ending to a fabulous story. The setting is so well done that you feel like you are there. The twists were stupendous and surprising. I was absolutely shocked by the ending. It was sad to see the end but wow, now I get to reread the whole series together.
Sci-fi ROMANCE at its ABSOLUTE BEST! A superbly sensuous & erotic romance; a page-turning MUST-BUY!
Author Grace Goodwin uses her superbly descriptive and sensuous prose to capture a reader’s imagination within the first paragraph of this novella’s prologue! “ASCENSION SAGA (Book 9)” is exactly what the title suggests . . . a story about a royal ascending to the throne. For those who are already fans of Goodwin’s INTERSTELLAR BRIDES Series, “ASCENSION SAGA (Book 9)” will feel like you’ve come home again, despite the brave new world of Aleran. In this 9th novella, Goodwin’s smooth pose continues to focus on Destiny’s part of the “ASCENSION SAGA,” but also includes information about her sisters and mother, the Queen of Aleran. Through the use of dual/multiple narration, the alternating voice between the heroine, Destiny, and hero, Nix, will endear those characters to a reader’s heart and have readers rooting for their happiness and the successful completion of their mission – to rescue Destiny’s mother and stay alive. In addition, readers will get to hear the story told in other voices as well. In this 9th book, so much happens that I want to share – but then I don’t want to give away ANY of the amazing twists found within its pages. So, readers know that this intensely complex, action-packed, and compelling plotline will pull you out of your real-world circumstances and take you deep into the matriarchal world of Aleran! I voluntarily read “ASCENSION SAGA (Book 9),” and this is my honest review and 5+STAR recommendation! As a practice, I do not give more than 4½ stars to a novella, but “ASCENSION SAGA (Book 9)” is just too good to limit! If you have not already done so, PURCHASE THIS BOOK! Then clear the calendar for the next couple of hours with a glass of wine (or water if you prefer it) and dive right in. (Also, it would be kind to let readers know at this point, there is a free Prequel that provides some backstory on the three sisters and their mother, but it is not essential to read the Prequel first.) Happy pages!
Woooooooooow!! I don’t even know what I can say about this one. I mean, for one thing, it would be way to easy to do all kinds of spoiling, and I’m not going to do that, but secondly, there’s just so much that happens! It’s all just amazing.
By the end of the book, I was gasping and WTFing all over the place. I didn’t know what was going to happen next, and I had no way of guessing what was going on. Everything I saw at any point totally surprised me.
I loved this book and I loved the way that it worked out. The ending was quite perfect for this book and nothing else at all would’ve worked. Grace Goodwin is an absolute genius.
This is the final piece to this exciting and suspenseful series. As Destiny and Nix’s story continues from book 8, the tension reaches the boiling point and twist and stunning shockers await. I enjoyed all the books in this series and although sometimes I wondered if the conclusion would be worth the long and complex journey, this book proved I was a fool to worry. It provides a excellent, satisfying, mind-blowing end that was well worth the wait.
Finally!
Now we find out who, why, what, and when. and there are a couple of real surprises coming your way. Intrigue, lies and murder, on the other hand true devotion over almost thirty years, and also starting out right now. They are all finally right where and with whom they are supposed to be.
