Review: Gallows Ascending by Leigh Podgorski

GALLOWS ASCENDINGGALLOWS ASCENDING by Leigh Podgorski
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Describe 2 different settings or locations. When Luke is walking outside the village of New Camen. The author's words were poetic and the scenery was beautiful, yet chilling at the same time. The second location would be the festivities at the New Camen Grange Hall. So much tension amidst the festivities. Loved the contrast.

Were you able to connect with the main character and why? Hmmm, the main character is Luke and yet the story may not be as strong without Beth. I am going to take them as a pair and yes, I could definitely connect with them on many different levels. They were engaging characters that had a fantastic story to tell.

Favourite quote… "Even the screeching seagulls had quieted, their feast having been whisked from them in a thick black plastic body bag." - This gave me goosebumps and I loved the use of the word "feast" instead of body.

Disclosure - I received a free book from the author. I was not obliged to write a positive review.
