Against the rising horde of the underworld, the gods have one weapon: Vee Shankar. Special Agent. Supernatural CSI.Beneath New York’s cosmopolitan veneer lies a darker truth–a concrete jungle of the supernatural kind. But humanity is protected, their souls guarded by ancient and powerful Gods. Things can change in the blink of an eye. Now Vee, knows who and what she it, and is coming to terms … coming to terms with her magical powers, not to mention the fact that she has wings.
But the more things change, the more they stay the same – in Vee’s case more mayhem and drama.
The Demon Horde is amassing, preparing to invade the mortal world. A ghost is haunting Vee; is it her imagination or is her grandmother trying to tell her something. Syama and Akil have been missing for weeks and Vee’s dad is suffering from PTSD.
And someone is trying to kill Vee. When a new case falls in Vee’s lap, her power to read aural patterns only makes it clearer that someone wants her dead.
And what she sees in the shadows, watching, lurking, threatening, strikes fear in her heart.
Vee must unravel all the threads before she finds herself very very dead.

WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT, ALL WRAPPED UP IN THE PAGES OF ONE AMAZING BOOK / SERIES?
While I love mythology and have read a diverse and wide range of cultures, I must admit this is my first fauré into an often over looked world and culture of Indian mythology in Fantasy,
but I had major concerns, no matter how great the book sounded… Namely Indian names and pronunciations EEKEEEE! Being a real stickler (when reading) for correct spelling, definitions pronunciations & grammar, I feared the constant use of checking would ‘pull me out of story & characters therefore ruining the story, but to my astonishment / delight this was not the case and have to say, I friggin’ Love, Love, Love it and cant wait to go back for my third adventure.
Book 2 picks right up where book one finished off, and Starts off with Vee in a warehouse taking on more demons than she thought, with more than one surprise in store.
With a non-stop, fast paced action and twists and turns galore that continue the whole way through the book! I love how the character’s development growth and interaction is coming along. This group has quickly become like a well oiled machine working in concert & harmony!
I’m so glad I can sleep when I’m dead, because the way Ms Ayer writes and the amount of awesome series she has, that’ll be the only time I’ll get any sleep! The addition Vee’s gifts and of Alpha and Bravo teams takes this novel and series to a whole new level. It’s the bomb!
Without creating spoilers Paranormal FBI Agent Vee Shankar life has changed in every way, shape and form possible. She has come into her own with a little practice of her “God Given Gifts, Tools & Powers, making her one of the coolest, ass-kicking female character I’ve ever read! This awesome chick is one of my All-Time Favourite’s and takes care of herself and everyone around her, plus I love how she that takes no shit from anyone, well besides from her Mother Devi & her “Ghostly Apparition” Grandmother Ma (but don’t we all)?
The pages basically turn themselves, I Love, Love Love Everything about this Book! There’s a diverse group of characters and no two are the same, all have koovery distinct personalities and there’s a wide variety of different species! The dynamics in the home have changed dramatically for Vee and her family and everyone is slowly adjusting to these massive changes. Her father seems to be adjusting well too, but I’m waiting for him to blow, much like Vee I think he can do with some help for his Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and boy do I feel for Nile.
Now onto the heavy topic – Domestic Abuse!
Wow that’s two books of T.G.Ayer’s in a row I’ve read that involves domestic Abuse. As bad as this theme is it makes the character somehow more real and relatable especially when you’ve been through it yourself. You understand the ins and outs of the situation better and know how if feels, especially when it’s well written and this is. Ms Ayer considers the readers feelings too.
Vee’s Grandfather sounds like a very cruel man, I could not imagine anybody ripping another human or supernatural beings appendages off, whether it be a wing, an arm or even something as simple as hair. The hatred Radhima must’ve felt was completely devastating and then to be treated the way she was by a professional psychiatrist (her husbands best friend) friend declaring her an unfit mother in bringing in his three sisters to look after their child must have been humiliating, a low blow to her self confidence and confidence as a woman & mother.
Normally I walk in the skin of lead Character, but was unable to do it reading this book, not sure why. Not quite as good as the first book, but to back that up with this is an amazing effort. Still a damn good read guaranteed, can not wait to read book 3, but I guess there’s a wait on that. Thank the Gods & Goddesses it’s only till August. Luckily there are many more Incredible sounding series from Ms Ayer and I looking forward to reading the SoulTracker Series next as I already own Demon Kin & Blood Magic, plus three other starter series books.
Tee is definitely one of my All-Time Favourite Authors, just look at all those Killer Covers too!
I RATE GODS ASCENDENT 4.8OUT OF 5, ITS A WINNER! MS AYER’S DONE IT AGAIN. DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AND RUSH OUT AND BUY IT NOW, AVAILABLE AT ALL GOOD BOOK STORES IN PAPERBACK, KINDLE & AUDIO.
I Received an Advance Readers Copy of this book and this is my fair, honest, unbiased review.

Gods Ascendent continues Vee’s journey as a Supernatural Special Agent – once again this Author weaves a fast paced action packed story that was hard to put down. The characters are in depth and the world building on point. This series is a must read for all paranormal fans
Finishing this book took longer than usual but life got in the way. With that said, this book was brilliant! There is action, adventure, suspense, a possible love triangle and even a budding relationship. Oh and don’t forget the Gods!
Read it! It was great!
