Next week I will be reviewing Descendant by Nichole Giles on my Views From Hobbit Hole book review blog. Yes, I was asked to review it - or I volunteered, depending on how you look at it, but I'm always honest in my reviews which authors don't always appreciate, because it's their baby and how can they sell books and become millionaires when someone is finding things wrong with the book.
At this point I haven't read Descendant so I have no idea what kind of review I'm going to write. I really, really, really want to write a good one, because that's just the kind of person I am.
And I'm doing an interview as well. So hang in there, it's coming!
In the meantime you can read this about it.
About
DESCENDANT: Seventeen-year-old Abigail Johnson is Gifted.
Blessed-or
cursed-with Sight and Healing, Abby lives an unsettled life, moving from place
to place and staying one step ahead of the darkness that hunts her. When she
arrives in Jackson, Wyoming, she is desperate to maintain the illusion of
normalcy, but she is plagued with visions of past lives mixed with frightening
glimpses of her future. Then she meets Kye, a mysterious boy who seems so
achingly familiar that Abby is drawn to him like he's a missing piece of her
own soul.
Before
Abby can discover the reason for her feelings toward Kye, the darkness catches
up to her and she is forced to flee again. But this time she's not just
running. She is fighting back with Kye at her side, and it's not only Abby's
life at stake.

Praise for DESCENDANT:
"A hot new spin on paranormal, Descendant is
refreshingly imaginative and powerful. I can't decide which was best -- piecing
together Abby's sinister past or keeping up with her heartbreaking future. If
you like your YA laced with melt-my-heart romance and a good helping of
heart-pounding suspense, you'll love this book!" -- Michelle Davidson
Argyle, author of The Breakaway
"Nichole
Giles has crafted a story that breathes from the pages. Her characters are
authentic, the action intense, with powerful emotions that will keep Descendant on your mind long after the book ends. Open your eyes
to another facet of our world in Descendant and you'll be sucked into an
adventure with Abby and Kye, that will explore the power of gifts, courage, and
love. With top-notch writing, Giles has crafted a story that breathes from the
pages." --Rachelle J. Christensen, award-winning author of Wrong
Number and Caller ID
"Nichole
Giles brings a fresh new voice and flawless writing technique to the world of
Young Adult fiction. I was swept away to another place and never wanted to come
back." --Tristi Pinkston, author of Turning Pages and the Secret Sisters mystery series
"This
debut novel delivers in all the right ways, with heart-pounding action and a
delicious romance that sweeps centuries. I loved it!" --Elana Johnson,
