In AR Milton's supernatural thriller Axiom, Julia's cousin Zander Thurman, a well-known YouTuber, anticipated that his upcoming videos would make him more famous nationwide. Julia recently moved in with her father and started at The Pit, where she met Libby Yolke, an actress Zander had hired as the new lead on his YouTube channel. When Libby and Zander left, Julia was enveloped in a lavender scent, and her tongue was coated in a honey flavor. After learning that Zander had died, Julia noticed that when she was standing close to his body in the morgue, a smell of lavender wafted into her nostrils. Because Julia had the unusual ability to see past appearances, she was oblivious to Libby's character and saw only the necessity of stopping her.

AR Milton's Axiom: A Cardinal-Wood Story is filled with mystery, intrigue, and the paranormal. I joined Julia in a world where the boundaries between the spiritual and earthly domains vanished. The suspense kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time, and I was captivated from the beginning to the end. With all the twists and turns, I never knew what to expect next in this action-packed, fast-paced story. The characters were authentic, and I could relate to them. Julia was my favorite character; Libby Yolke could not easily overcome Julia as she made her way through Cardinal-Wood, trying to undermine the residents' control over their souls. The story was remarkable and masterfully written. It truly exceeded all my expectations, and I loved reading it!

Axiom: A Cardinal-Wood Story by AR Milton is a mind-twisting supernatural adventure that will have readers thinking about evolution, mutants, and genetic heredity. Julia has recently moved into her father’s small hometown and is about to be drawn into a world she had only visited in her worst nightmares. Julia has unseen powers that she is only just beginning to explore and understand. She can identify and battle with demons and otherworldly creatures that exist amongst us in plain sight but are unknown to the vast majority. She discovers that her father’s job with the mysterious governmental organization, the Axiom Research Agency (A.R.A.), is much more than just a research agency for religious and philosophical thought. It is a covert governmental agency that she is a prime candidate to join as a field agent. It seems Julia has inherited many powers and insights from her father and her late mother. Julia’s dreams of demons and the supernatural are more than just dreams; they are visions of reality and she is the only one who can successfully challenge these demons. The death of her beloved cousin Zander at the hands of a demon sets this young woman on her path of retribution.

Axiom is one of those novels that allow the author to explore the weirdest and wildest concepts and ideas about our world and universe and present them to the reader for consideration. Author AR Milton has done a tremendous job of creating these characters that hint at a universe and reality that is different from what our human senses can interpret and see. With a nod to X-Men, we meet Julia whose senses are greatly enhanced and who is capable of seeing and feeling things far beyond mere human comprehension. That Julia and others like her are the logical progression of evolution and humanity’s expansion of consciousness is what truly impressed me about this story. There are no superheroes here, just ordinary humans who have evolved a greater ability to experience and understand parts of our universe that have hitherto been undetected by others. I loved the idea that evil is always present. Because we cannot see the forces of evil, we invariably have looked for other supernatural or religious explanations and have invented narratives to explain the presence of both good and evil. The concept of progressive evolution is something that few seem willing to embrace. There is a belief that man is the ultimate evolved creation and there is nothing we can improve upon. I liked this story so much precisely because it throws out that paradigm totally and suggests that where we are today is just one step on the evolutionary ladder. What wonders will we discover when the next evolutionary leap forward is embarked upon? This book considers the question and some of the answers are frankly terrifying. I loved Axiom and highly recommend it.
