Review of The Descendant by Kelley Grealis

Title: The Descendant

Author: Kelley Grealis

Genre: Paranormal Romance

Length: 288 pages

Cover design by A BCD Creative

ISBN-13: 978-0-615-61236-2

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.

Vincent tells Allison that she is a descendant and the first of her kind to exhibit signs of vampirism. Her worsening symptoms mean that 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.

Review

There are a lot of good things about The Descendant. Allison's weird illness, the sexy, mysterious stranger at the party, Allison's confusion after the car wreck, the Garden of Eden story line, and the biblical twist on vampire lore was super creative.

Book Description

The media has a nickname for Marnie Baranuik, though she’d rather they didn’t; they call her the Great White Shark, a rare dual-talented forensic psychic. Twice-Touched by the Blue Sense--which gives her the ability to feel the emotions of others, and read impressions left behind on objects--Marnie also has a doctorate in preternatural biology and a working knowledge of the dark arts. She is considered without peer in the psychic community. 

Then her first big FBI case ended with a bullet in one shoulder and a chip on the other, a queasy heart and a serial killer in the wind, leaving her a public flop and a private wreck. When the FBI’s preternatural crimes unit tracks her down at a remote mountain lodge for her insight on a local case, her quiet retirement is promptly besieged by a stab-happy starlet, a rampaging ghoul, and a vampire-hunting jackass in tight Wranglers. Marnie figures the only real mystery is which one will kill her first. 

Too mean to die young, backed up by friends in cold places, and running with a mouth as demure as a cannon’s blast, Marnie Baranuik is about to discover that there’s no such thing as quitting time when you’re Touched.

Review
Holy shit balls! I debated for hours on whether or not to read Touched and I'm SO glad I ultimately chose to! 

Itty-bitty Review of Venice Vampyr

Venice Vampyr

Author: Tina Folsom

Genre: Paranormal Romance, Vampire

Amazon: http://amzn.com/B004G5ZSJ8

Venice, early 1800s


Isabella Tenderini, a wealthy merchant's widow rescues a stranger from drowning in one of Venice's canals. And how does the man repay her selfless act? By kissing her - her, a respectable woman.

Not only is Raphael di Santori grateful for his life being saved, he would also like to thank his rescuer very intimately - more intimately than decorum allows. But then, Raphael has never been one to play by the rules - as a vampire he doesn't have to.

Itty-bitty Review

If you’re looking for a vampire story with a slightly different twist and some taboo sex scenes, this might be for you. One of the sex scenes at the end of the story was too taboo for me and I had to erase the image from my mind but that doesn't mean it’s too taboo for you.

This is the warning on Amazon: Warning: explicit and graphic sex, incl. voyeurism and other sexual taboos. Not for the faint of heart! This is an erotic novella.
