Book Description
Allison Carmichael wakes
from a car wreck with no memory of the past three years. She doesn’t
recall her husband’s death or how she alienated her friends, and she
definitely doesn’t remember anything about her new boyfriend Vincent
Drake – a charismatic man with a penchant for rare and unique
possessions. In fact, the only things familiar to Allison are her
seemingly common ailments – insomnia, lack of appetite, erratic body
temperature – which have gone undiagnosed and are worsening.
But Vincent knows exactly who, and what, Allison is – a mortal descendant of the first vampire. He is a vampire who has watched over Allison and her ancestors since the biblical times of Cain and Abel ensuring their secret is kept. Once he realizes Allison’s symptoms are accelerating and transforming her, he’ll stop at nothing to have her.
Allison discovers that she is a descendant and the first of her kind to exhibit signs of vampirism. She must decide between risking her mortal death if she cannot control her symptoms or fully transforming into a vampire and damning her soul for eternity. A decision made even more difficult when Allison discovers that Vincent has manipulated her life, and everyone in it, so that he can have the one thing no one else in the world has – the first descendant-turned-vampire.

My review:
I received this book in exchange for an honest review.
I must say, this book gives a different outlook on the history of Vampires. I loved this history lesson.
The Descendant was extremely well written. and the story flows so well.
Characters are so awesome and mix/work together. I don't know what I would do in Allison's position, and Vincent~OMG. OMG, he sounds stellar in looks but I hated him by the end of the book but fell in love with Marlo- she was a sweetheart and looked out for Allison in so many ways!
Now I need to get my hands on book 2!
