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.
EXCERPT:
The castle door burst open and two sets of
boots thudded over the floor. Lorenzo and Felix rushed into the dining room,
shirts untucked, jeans ripped and messy hair.
“Where’s Jenna?” I demanded. I looked
beyond them searching for her but didn’t see or hear her.
“Gone,” Lorenzo responded.
“What do you mean gone?”
“We were ambushed,” Felix said.
“Ambushed?” I questioned.
“By whom?” Vincent asked.
“Two guys…” Lorenzo started.
“Wait, you are trying to tell me that two
men ambushed you?” I questioned. “You’re vampires! You are stronger than a
thousand men.”
“They were gypsies,” Felix stated
matter-of-factly, as if that should have explained it all.
“So? You couldn’t protect Jenna from two
gypsies?”
“Not with the magic they were spinning. We
hit a patch of ice and Jenna lost control of the car. As the car came to a
halt, snow started swirling like a tornado and we were in the center of it. We
couldn’t see anything; we were surrounded by white.”
“And then these two guys just appeared
outside of the car. Felix and I went to get out of the car, but the seatbelts
snapped across our bodies and trapped us.”
“And with all of your strength, you
couldn’t rip through the seatbelts?” I questioned.
“No, we couldn’t. Their spell incapacitated
us, held our arms at our sides; we were defenseless. And then they grabbed
Jenna.”
“She tried to put up a fight but they cast
a spell on her to knock her out.”
“Then what? Did they say anything?”
“They left without saying a word. The
squall went on for a few more minutes but eventually died down as the spell
wore off. But they were long gone; we couldn’t even pick up a trail. They knew
who they were dealing with when they approached us and they definitely knew
what they were doing.”
“What would gypsies want with Jenna?”
“They left a note,” Felix said. “It was
knifed to the steering wheel.” Felix held out a piece of paper. I snatched it
and scanned the words.
“Damn it,” I cursed.
“I know,” Lorenzo said.
“What is it?” Max asked.
“These two gypsies must be conspiring with
Jal,” I said.
“What does the letter say?”
“To bring the key to the Emerald Necklace
in order to unlock the Garden.”
