"Allison, you are in no position to be asking the questions." His eyes traced the shape of my jail cell and then he smirked, making the point that he was the one in control of the situation. "Don't you want out of here so that you can find your husband?"

The goddess in the form of Kelley Grealis is our Halloween Pumpkin Patch feature author today as we reach day twelve. Not only is Kelley a superb author, but she's a damn fine woman too. For regulars on our Facebook page, you'll always see her getting involved and supporting author authors too. For a woman with such a wonderful talent, I'm humbled by her generosity and awesomeness.
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Fairies
Kelley Grealis’ flow and weaving of the back-story into the current time was very effectively created and developed. ‘The Descendant’ is most definitely a serious read. Be prepared and get yourselves ready for that. There’s absolutely no YA vampire fluff here.
Kelley Grealis successfully had me crying before I made it to chapter four, and pissed by chapter nine as I started to figure things out. This really was a rollercoaster of a book that struck a nerve on so many amazing levels. As for the ending - you know I am a stickler for an ending - Kelley Grealis did me proud! She successfully gave me an ending that left me feeling fulfilled with a clear conclusion, while leaving a crack of an opening for more. Bravo! 4.5 fairies!
