Wendy's Review: The Descendant by Kelley Grealis




Mortal death or eternal damnation? If those were your choices, which would you choose?
Allison Carmichael is frustrated with the doctors who can’t diagnose her seemingly common ailments. Her frustrations are further compounded by her inability to discover her life’s calling, a purpose she desperately desires yet which has eluded her for thirty years.
A car wreck throws Allison into a life she doesn’t recognize filled with vampires, centuries-old secrets, betrayal, and vengeful enemies she never knew existed.

When Allison discovers the source of her ailments and the truth about her biblical lineage, she wishes she hadn’t searched so hard for the answers she thought she wanted.

Faced with an impossible decision sacrifice her mortal life or damn her soul for eternity which will Allison choose?
And can she decide before the choice is made for her?
THE DESCENDANT A Vampire Tale of Biblical Proportions


 
I knew I wasn’t dying. At least that was what the other doctors had said. But what I didn’t know, and neither did any of those other doctors, was the cause of my symptoms. In fact, those supposed specialists had all declared me to be perfectly healthy and viewed my symptoms with skepticism. But I knew they were mistaken; there was something wrong with me.'


So I started this book and was pleasantly surprised with the concept of the story. It takes off trying to find out what's wrong with the lead character Allison and these 'changes' she is going through. Then suddenly things are turned upside down and her whole world changes. I felt there was a 'lull' when all the explaining was happening but the story quickly picked back up. I enjoyed how the author spun this new version of vampires and how they originated and was ready to continue Allison's story in the 2nd part of this series to see if certain people were who they said they were and if some really were that easily 'taken care of'. I'm not one to 'give it away' so read it!
