Born in 1911, they first died together in 1928 at age seventeen. Two months later, they were reborn. And reborn. THE CLAIRES only live to seventeen and then they’re violently murdered. Somewhere in the world, a woman finds out she’s pregnant with quads. The Claires return to a new family as they try to break a curse that guarantees they die young.
It’s current-day Los Angeles, and once again, their seventeenth birthday is looming. Can they save themselves, clean up the streets in the name of penance, and crash their own prom?
The Claires is the first novel spin-off of the best-selling Ascenders Book Saga. Also available in paperback starting on January 14, 2020.

What kind of person would you be if you were continually subjected to the same outcome, the same fate, over and over and over....
That is the nexus of this novel.
Let me tell you what I loved, which was almost everything. The Claires, referred to by their middle initial in the story thank god, are young and kind of brilliant, but also slightly jaded and dare I say, wicked. But if you'd spent the last century living your life until the age of seventeen and then just gone only to be reborn to go through it all over again, you'd probably be bitter as well. Then you have their.... brother(?) Cass, who gives an outside perspective of the four young women and their journey which not only shows them through a different set of eyes, it makes them marginally darker characters.
Here we go with the girls most recent reincarnation, and as their seventeenth birthday draws nearer, what won't they do to break the cycle, to stay alive?
Fast paced and well written, alternating not only the POV but the past and present, The Claires will have you on the edge of your seat teetering between, what the hell just happened? and, rooting for the villians! I think my favorite aspect of this story was how the Claires are a four leaf clover created as a group, sisters that are bound to this tormented fate, and yet, the Author gives each one of them their own individuality.
My only hiccup was some similarities between this story and an older series that I've read, loved and enjoyed. It pulled me out of the story a couple of times, but aside from that I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
