Ascendancy, AJ Brooks, 2026
This young adult novel is about an average teenager named Charlie. In Part 1, he was riding his bike through a dark forest. Coming across a mysterious stranger, at the absolute last moment, Charlie found that he could harness the power of a lightning storm to defeat his foe. The next day, Charlie receives an invitation from a paranormal school called the Halotempora Institute.
Here, in Part 2, Charlie and Melinda, a friend who discovers abilities of her own, look for a way to return to Halotempora. They were kicked out in Part 1; it is the sort of place one doesn't enter without an invitation. They are separated, and travel different paths to get stronger. Charlie is inducted into the Ascendancy. As he gets stronger, will he eventually lose himself? There is a dark plan afoot, created by Charlie's enemy, a person named Haddox. Will Charlie get to the bottom of it in time?
This novel is surprisingly good. It's got action, adventure, a bit of romance and plenty of sorcery. It is very much worth reading, for teens and adults.
