Ascension (Ascension #1) By: Lynn Leite

(N) Nadine Howland is about to make history. While Alpha born females have always existed none have ever held the role as Pack Alpha in their own right. When an Ascension ceremony is held to announce the new Alphas of several packs Nadine's father, Barron Howland, makes the unheard of decision to name is daughter his successor.
     Nadine expected to be challenged. She knew once it was announced that she would become the Pack Alpha that some of the Alpha males would object to having a female in power. What she didn't expect though was finding her true mate in the process.

      Ascension is a spin-off from the Shifted series by Lynn Leite. In order to fully understand who some of the characters are the Shifted series should be read first.
      Going into this book I wasn't exactly sure what to expect given that by the end of the Shifted series I was not as invested in the series as I was when it began. But I was pleasantly surprised with Ascension. I found that I really enjoyed reading it and could not seem to put it down. If you like reading book about werewolves then this author and series might be just what you're looking for.
