The "In between." The Afterlife. The middle. Or the most widely commonly known term Purgatory. When it comes to defining the alternative realm of being stuck in the middle, one thing is common. Death. Usually, in this alternative realm, the lines of life and death are blurred. Are we alive? Or are we truly dead? And what are the reasons for being stuck in this realm? Is it permanent? Or temporary?
In Ascenders, we follow the life of Walker Callaghan. She is 17 years old and dead. Stuck in this new realm along with her mother, she is enrolled in The Academy. What makes this school different is that there is no homework. No tests. No SATs. You're just there to learn. In truth, actually there are no rules. Why? Well, does the dead need rules. The Academy life sounds simple. Go to school and learn to live in this new realm. But what happens when Walker meets and falls in love with Daniel Reid, the bad boy who causes Walker to live recklessly and break the rules. A boy who makes her live and pushes her boundaries. A boy who challenges her and makes her feel. A boy who would make her risk everything. And the biggest risk Walker Callaghan takes is putting her trust in Daniel as they try to escape their current realm so they can find their way into the living realm? With Daniel by her side, Walker knows one thing is for certain losing him would be like dying twice. They save love can make you do crazy things and so what awaits Walker and Daniel as they try to escape this after-life realm?
Ascenders by C.L. Gaber was an utterly refreshing, original, and an unputtable down read!!! This book was brimming with emotions, feels, and had a striking story-line that kept you glued to your e-reader. The writing was so fresh and crisp. It was written so well that you are completely mesmerized with the characters and their journey of the "in between." With a concept so unique, Ms. Gabers had her readers totally invested with the story of Walker and Daniel. Be prepared to get spell-binded and fall in love with this beautiful and enchanting story.

What happens when you die, on earth, do you go to heaven or hell?
Or is there a middle? The middle is where the recently departed go.
This is Walker Callaghan's story. One minute she was living a normal life on earth, with her mom driving her home from the hospital. The next minute she was on another part of the world, at least that’s what she thought at first. The whole time she is wondering why her mom moved her so quickly without even talking about it. Now living in a beautiful home, she knew they couldn’t afford from living with her Aunt. Next she’s taken to a beautiful school, she knew they couldn’t afford and what makes it more like a dream..is she’s told by the school, in THE ACADEMY there is no homework. Wow, is she dreaming?
Then she meets the school’s bad boy Daniel Reid. Wow, he didn’t look nothing like a 18yr old should look. He was tall, with jet black hair, built so big she looked small next to him and most of all, he was the most handsome guy she had ever laid eyes on. What’s a girl to do? Get to know him or stay away from him? Is he really bad news? What she didn’t realize was she was about to find out soon enough.
Walker was in a strange place and she was starting to like being there and Daniel had everything to do with that feeling. But she was also enjoying her time with her mom, but every night she would hear strange noises when her mom is asleep and one day she was gone. On her time of need Daniel was the person that was there for her, he took her in and never let her go. She was basically adopted in the Reid family and became one of them. Daniel and Walker’s relationship was very innocent, but so sweet. From the way they took care of each other, from their very heated kisses, to being a family. Every time they were together, I turned into a teenager, hoping for their next heated moment. I just love these two characters, they were very strong, very loving towards not only each other, but Daniel’s brothers and sisters.
When Daniel finally lets Walker in on his plan to go back to the living realm, she made sure he knew that he wasn’t going anywhere without her. They planned and planned, until the time came. The plan was dangerous, but Daniel wanted his 6yr brother Bobby back and he would do anything to get him back. Will their love be strong enough to stand the danger waiting for them once they step foot in the living world? Read and find out, believe me, you won’t regret it.
If you a paranormal lover, you will definitely love Ascenders. Ascenders is one of those books you can get lost in. The book is beautifully written that I was excited the whole time I was reading it. This is the kind of Young Adult Paranormal book that remind me why I love the genre so much. Once I started this book I could not put it down, Author C.L. Gaber has a way with words that will keep you satisfied with each and every page of the book. Yes, the book is ended with a little cliffhanger, but it’s a cliffhanger that will get you excited for the next book. Believe me, I am super excited to see where book series will take us.
Till the next book. <3
