Book synopsis:
The Search (Book 2 in
The Descendant Vampire Series)
Allison Carmichael is thirsty for blood and hungry for
answers.
Lured away from her illicit extracurricular activities by
news about her kidnapped husband, Allison rejoins her adopted family that’s
promised to help her find him. Allison's search is detoured, however, by
sinister vampire politics, the seeming good will of her fanged family, and the
return of her nemesis. Circumstances unfold that shatter the foundation of her
world.
In order to successfully play the game she has been thrust
into, Allison must battle loss and betrayal and accept unexpected love.
THE SEARCH is on for answers, but when answers are found, will they be what
Allison was looking for?

Excerpts
From the
opening scene of chapter 1; Allison caught in the midst of her illicit vampire
behavior
We reached the apartment and I punched the security code into
the keypad as I steadied Joe with my left arm. The lock clicked and I pushed
the door open. We entered the dark apartment, the only illumination coming from
the cityscape visible through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Which city, I
hadn’t a clue. I’d traveled to so many cities over the past several months that
they all looked the same. This was just another metropolis with an
overabundance of skyscrapers, congested freeways and plenty of places like the
lounge to inconspicuously pick up an easy meal, like Joe.
“Where’s the light?” Joe groped the wall in search of a
switch.
“We don’t need light.” I grabbed Joe by the shirt and pushed
him against the wall. I pressed my body against his as I kicked the door closed
with my other foot.
“I like it. A woman who takes control and knows what she
wants.”
“I know what I want, alright.”
Joe panted with anticipation. I could feel his heart beating
beneath his shirt, now damp with perspiration. I yanked at his collar, exposing
his neck. Though the room was dark, my eyes could see the vein thumping under
his skin with every beat of his heart. I licked his neck and the saltiness was
enough to make the venom angrier. It swirled more powerfully in my stomach and
steamrolled through my veins. Desire was flush throughout my body; I yearned
for nourishment. My legs tingled with anticipation. I opened my mouth and felt
my fangs emerge; a drop of venom numbed my tongue for a second. I threw my head
back, ready to strike when the light flicked on.
“What in the hell?” I shouted at Joe, assuming he had found
the light switch.
It took his mortal eyes a few seconds to adjust to the
surroundings, which was enough time for my fangs to retract without him
noticing. Joe rubbed his eyes with both hands and I realized he couldn’t have turned
on the light; the switch was out of reach. I turned around.
“Hello, Allison,” a female voice greeted from across the
room.
“Marlo?” I was shocked by the unexpected appearance of the
woman I had once, not too long ago, considered like a sister.
