Conner Sutherland
hasn’t been in love for years—since before he died when he was still Laine’s
lover. He’s alone and feeling sad—looking into the lives of those he cares
about. Laine found Sev years ago and Connor wants him to be happy, but he wants
the same thing for himself and doesn’t think he’ll ever have it. Connor’s
problem is that he’s watched Sev’s nephew Ro – Rogelio - grow into a man he’s attracted to and knows he
can’t do anything about it. After all Connor’s dead and Ro’s very much alive
with his whole life ahead of him.
Ro’s knows Connor
through his long friendship with Laine and Sev. What Connor doesn’t realize is
that Ro and is just as attracted to him, even knowing that he’s dead. Neither
understand that sometimes fate intervenes when you least expect it, bringing
you the thing you desire most—the person you love.
Ascension is the latest release in Bailey Bradford’s Southern Spirits series. While there’s
quite a time lag between this book and the last, the characters are recurring
so the books should be read in order.
What to say? I’ve
waited a long time for our prank-loving ghost Connor to get a story of his own,
but I still had a hard time with it. It’s not that I didn’t like most of it.
It’s just that it’s so sad. Not just in the way that made it possible for Ro
and Connor to be together but the pain and anguish felt by Sev and Laine. But
that’s not even all. It seems that on nearly every page something emotionally
unsettling is happening to one of the many characters. Aside from Ro and Connor
finding happiness together, it certainly didn’t make for a very uplifting and
happy book. Truthfully—it’s pretty gloomy.
