Review of DESCENDED BY BLOOD by Angeline Kace

Descended by Blood
DESCENDED BY BLOOD by Angeline Kace (YA/Young Adult Book)

1-Second Review: RECOMMENDED

10-Second Review:
Unlike some self-pubbed indie novels I've picked up lately, Descended by Blood was a well-crafted story that kept me reading. The mythology around the vampires in this world gives the book a unique twist, not an easy feat considering the slew of YA vampire books out there. The main character, Brooke, is likeable and real. Mysterious Mirko is the steamiest male YA character I've read since Twilight. Descended by Blood was an action-packed, fast-paced read, and I can't wait to get the next book in the Vampire Born Trilogy, Enemy Within.

Book Blurb (from Amazon):
Brooke Keller's a high school junior who never spent much time living in one place. She's finally in a town long enough to almost snag the boy of her dreams, until her life is threatened by a fanged man in his attempt to kidnap her. Brooke begins a dangerous journey to find out who is after her and how to stop them. Thrown into a world with powerful and prejudiced vampires, Brooke must tap into the side of herself that she never knew existed, at the risk of losing her life in order to save it.

Find DESCENDED BY BLOOD on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other book outlets.
