“The Descendant is a unique paranormal tale that takes a well known biblical theme and turns it sideways, resulting in a thoughtful, well written story of one woman’s discovery of a family legacy that changes both her perception of her past, and her expectations of her future.”
- Gigi Siguenza, Indie Love Book Club
“Ms. Grealis demonstrates the necessary prerequisite of a popular author: a knack for telling an engaging story. Nothing else really matters if that isn't the underpinning.”
- Smidhja, Amazon Reviewer

“The uniqueness of these vampire books is a huge A+! I love the Biblical weave she brings into every tale, giving you more nuggets that make you wonder if maybe vampires are real!”
- Natasha House, Author & Amazon Reviewer

“This is no ordinary vampire story.”
- Carmen Reyes, Amazon Reviewer
“As much as I enjoyed the first book in this series, this second book has cemented Grealis as an author I plan to watch.”
- Joyce Wetherbee, Amazon Reviewer

“I LOVED this vampire series. This is the best one that I’ve read.”
- Jenjen0130, Amazon Reviewer 

“Another fabulous installment of the Descendants.. The truth had been set free and it feels wonderful to finally have answers. I definitely think this is one unique story that kept me enthralled to the very end. Bravo!”
- KaycieBell, Amazon Reviewer 

“A series I am completely enthralled with and will continue to read as long as she keeps writing!”
- Sheila M, Amazon Reviewer

When she’s not writing, she’s working at her day job, cruising in her convertible or enjoying a beer at her favorite local brewery.

 The Descendant Vampire Series
 
The Descendant ~ Book 1
Publication Date: May 1, 2012
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.

Allison discovers that she is a descendant and the first of her kind to exhibit signs of vampirism. 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.

A message from the author...
I wrote The Descendant (book 1 in the series) because it was the vampire tale I'd always wanted to read and since I couldn't find that book, I wrote it. I never envisioned that passion blossoming into a series, but here we are on book 3!

I hope you enjoy The Truth, the third installment in The Descendant Vampire Series. I had a lot of fun writing this book especially since the events that unfold in chapter 18 I've had in mind since I wrote the first book.

I hope you enjoy the unique spin I've put on the creation of the vampire and the subsequent plot lines as Allison searches for answers in The Search and then discovers why it all happened in the first place in The Truth.

The series was originally slated for 3 books, but after the final chapter in The Truth, I think I just may have written myself into a 4th!

"The Truth will set you free" or so they say...but sometimes The Truth will startle your senses, snatch you away to another place & time on the hunt for clues left by renegade vampires, make you question everything, & leave you begging for more! Yes that is The Truth we speak of here! ;*) An action-packed journey with some of my favorite vamps on an urgent mission. Can you handle the truth once answers are revealed?
If you enjoy adult paranormal vampire stories unlike any others then you will want to check this series out. There are no sparkly vamps here, but plenty of Fangtastic goodness!
