When I first heard about Descended by Blood, I wanted to read it so bad, so I’d been eagerly awaiting its release. Imagine my excitement when the opportunity to get an advanced readers copy came up but also be involved with the blog tour too…..*Squeeeee* Yep, I was that excited.
So, want to know my thoughts after I read the book? Well, let me tell you this! Angeline DOES NOT disappoint….it was bloody FANTASTIC!

Brooke Keller is a high school student who moves from town to town because her mother doesn’t let them stay in one place for too long. With Brooke happily settled in Virginia, she is trying to bag the guy of her dreams; the handsome and popular Jaren, but when her life is turned upside down by a mysterious man with fangs, Brooke is thrown into a world she never knew existed and is suddenly faced with deadly situations and two boys battling for her heart.

This novel was just what I needed to get me back into the Vampire scene. I hadn’t read much Vampire books lately but from the first page of this book, I was hooked. Angeline knows how to draw you into a story that keeps you captivated from start to end. Not only does she manage to deliver a new and exciting take on Vampires but she also delivers with her unique and action packed story line. When reading the book, you can tell how much hard work has gone into the book and I for one think Angeline deserves a round of applause for her awesome work.

Our heroine ‘Brooke’ is one kick ass girl! She is strong, determined and confident. From the opening chapter, you see the kind of character she is and although she has a hard time standing up for herself to start with, that soon quickly changes once she becomes familiar with what is she. Jaren, I really enjoyed him as a character. He appealed to me to start with but that quickly changed when he dumps Brooke with the snap of his fingers, only soon to change his mind again. I hate men like that and I’m so glad we have Mirko, to drool over. Yes, I said drool! Mirko is one HOT guy! There’s not even any competition to who Brooke should be with. Mirko is tall, dark and gorgeous, who knows what he wants and he is determined to have Brooke and my god, she is a silly girl if she doesn’t pick him. ;)

The story line itself is fast paced, intense and exciting. Its action packed and with the new take on Vampire’s and with two very hot guys to obsess about there is not a dull moment. My only real complaint about the book was I sometimes felt the relationship between Brooke and Jaren was a little forced and happened far too quickly for my liking and for that, I didn’t really connect with their relationship. But now, Brooke and Mirko’s relationship was another story. Their relationship was at a good steady pace, one I felt connected with and enjoyed more. That’s probably because I’m team Mirko and I definitely think is Ms Kace is a Team Mirko fan deep down too ;)

Overall, Angeline has started off with a bang for her new series and I for one, will look forward to her future works. Her next book ‘Enemy Within’ cannot come soon enough!

A HUGE thank you to the author for providing me an ARC copy of this book!(less)

I did like the plot, but I found that the characters were annoying enough that I had a very hard time finishing it. Brooke though she is an okay character, I found I didn't relate to her at all. One minute she is in love with one boy then the next she is in love with another boy, then finally she is in love with both boys. To me this is just too much. I understand the whole love triangle, but this is one I just don't really get some of the players. In the end I was just left wondering what Brooke was really feeling, was she in love with 2 guys or was she just leading them both on to make herself feel better.

So to start the book, we have Brooke who has finally gotten noticed by the boy of her dreams (Jaren) and he is now on the market for a new GF. They start to see each other, then low and behold the lovely Jaren gets caught out with the old GF and admits he kissed her. (Okay this is not very far into the book, kinda seems to happen a little fast) He then uses the lame excuse that he and Brooke have not really committed to each other so he was not cheating on her but now that he has kissed his ex he realizes he only wants to be with Brooke. So Brooke being the nice girl that she is she takes him back, though I can't see why.

Next bit of drama is that BF Jaren gets kicked out by his Dad on his 18th bday. Brooke and Jaren set out to find him an apartment and get him set up. A bit later some strange guy attacks her and she kills him at Jaren's place. She calls her Mom, finds out she is half Pijawikan (Vamp) and she needs to go into hiding. The lovely Jaren won't have anything to do with her and tells her he needs some space. Yes I don't like Jaren at all! To bad he has to go with her because now people know about him and he might be in danger as well.

Then we meet Mirko. Now here is the prize of this triangle. I can say I loved his personality, him and Kaitlynn are my favourite characters. Mirko is hired to protect and train Brooke, but along the way he falls for Brooke and talks about himself, telling her stuff he has never told anyone. Mirko made the book worth reading. He is a funny, kind, caring guy, who honestly seems to care for Brooke. Needless to say if there is any team in this, I am all TEAM MIRKO. So basically for the rest of the book it is training, fighting and trying to find out who is trying to grab Brooke.

I can't say I didn't enjoy the plot, I did, just with Brooke being such a weak pushover I had a hard time keeping with it. I would say this is a good book for someone who is into all the teenage angst that is going on. Just not for me.

This debut, the first of the Vampire Born trilogy novels from Angeline Kace, was an absolute smash hit for me. I read this in almost one sitting (would have, were it not for pesky things like responsibilities). I was totally sucked into this new world she created, and just could not get enough. Action packed from the beginning, Angeline Kace masterfully takes us on a journey full of new vampire lore, intense action, love, betrayal and self-discovery. This story is seriously amazing.

What a wondrous read this turned out to be! Descended by Blood by Angeline Kace has left me at awh as to how to put my thoughts on the computer screen. Descended by Blood takes on a paranormal that I for one am very picky about, vampires. I am a very picky person with vampire books, a lot of vampire books I have read in the past, have not appealed all that much to me. Descended by Blood was great. I loved it. I loved the characters I loved the world that Angeline so awesome-ly put together..I just loved this book.

Descended by Blood is in the eyes of Brooke, Brooke is a normal teenage girl she has her best friend Kaitlynn, and her new boyfriend Jaren who she is completly in love with. Brookes normal life gets turned upside down when she realizes she is being stalked by a strange man. One day while hanging out with Jaren the strange man breaks into Jarens apartment and attacks them and tries to kidnap Brooke..Brooke kills this man..and the scary part is? It was easy. Now Brookes whole life is being flipped, she is finding out she is half vampire, and her dad that she has never met is a very powerful vampire. Now Brooke has to hide, because someone is after her. Not only does Brooke have to hide, so does Kaitlynn, and so does Jaren who since finding out Brooke is half-vampire has said they need to take a break.

As if Brookes life isn't already complicated enough she also has Mirko, Mirko is there guide to taking them into hiding. Mirko is snarky, cocky, and a totally hot vampire. Even though he tries to act cool, Brooke knows deep down he is caring, and now she is finding herself caring for him in just the same way, but her and Jaren are still talking and her heart doesn't know what to do.

Descended by Blood was an amazing read, even though I feel the love between Jaren and Brooke didn't make as much sense. I am hoping that means that her and Mirko will be together in the end. The characters in this book were amazing, Brooke is such a strong character, but knows when to show her emotions. Kaitlynn is a wonderful delight for a best friend, Jaren is caring, but he was my least favorite character, he breaks up with Brooke after finding out she is half-vampire, but then right as soon as Mirko shows intrest in Brooke he gets protective of her, if he truely 'loved' her like he says over and over he does he would've went along things differently.

Mirko...ah Mirko I could talk about him alllll day long. He is sexy, he is cocky, but he is also caring and protective..and 100% yummy. I absoultely adored him. He was my favorite character of all, Angeline put him together perfetly. I seriously am gonna freak out if this series ends with Brooke and Jaren.

Anyways, Descnded by Blood is a wonderful debut it had a beautiful combination of everything anyone could want in a series, there was love, there was loss, there was action there was everything. Descended by Blood has left me yearning for book two. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a good read. (:

Brooke is wicked freaked out and more than a little confused, after a mountain lion in the woods nearly attacked her and her best friend Kaitlynn. What's even more upsetting is she's also sure she saw a MAN beckon this lion back to him after their near attack. (I know right?)

Either way, I've realized that I'm not too picky when it comes to my beloved bloodsuckers. In fact, just mention the word 'vampire' and an electric thrill shoots through me. But when I read a vampire novel, I do expect certain things to happen...like maybe the actual drinking of blood?

As soon as Brooke Keller's life starts to seem perfect—with her devoted best friend, Kaitlynn, and adoring boyfriend, Jaren, in tow—an unexpected secret about her past turns her world upside down. Once the truth about her heritage is revealed, Brooke must learn to face the evil forces that are after her before they harm those she cares for most.

Brooke was a challenging character to support. Since the story is told by and revolves around her, I'd half-hoped, half-expected her to mature significantly as she embraced her vampire side, or at the very least, get to a place where I could understand her logic, but she remained largely naive and selfish throughout the course of the novel. Yes, I get that she's a teen who's suddenly thrust into a hidden world filled with creatures she never imagined existed, but any sympathy I felt for her plight was continuously batted away by her rash decisions and careless thoughts. And the deeply embedded love triangle she allowed to developed between herself, Jaren, and Mirko didn't help her case, either.

Aside from the lack of character development, the dialogue between characters and the narrative style wasn't always cohesive but rather awkward and strained. Sure, I'm willing to suspend belief so I can follow three teenagers as they take off on a private jet and miss weeks of school to train at a secret military base funded by the government, but at least give me some witty snark and palpable banter to be charmed by. As for the narrative style, the story is mainly told as First Person, Past Tense, but more than a few times it veered off into present tense territory.

When I initially picked up this novel, I think I was expecting something a bit different. And while I liked the new terms used for vampirism in Descended by Blood, I wished the mythology would have been better explained. Example, At first we are told that vampires can only be born not turned (or made), but then we meet a made vampire, and no explanation is offered on how this was possible. Also, I don't have many pet peeves in life, but when I see one that really irritate me, I have to call it out. Vampire do not drink blood for "substance!" That would be impossible. But they do drink blood for "sustenance." Yes, there is a difference.

Brooke and Kaitlynn friendship was great, and I appreciated how Brooke turned to Kaitlynn in her times of need instead of running off to the boy. But, I can't hide my disappointment in finding that no actual drinking of blood occurred in this vampire story. I got a glimpse of Brooke, a half-breed, craving blood for a moment, but wasn't enough. To read a whole novel and not 'see' a vampire drink blood was odd.

Descended by Blood proved to be fast paced, action filled start to a series that is full of promise. Brook is an emotional character that seems to be headed towards something interesting, and I hope the next part of her journey fills in the gaps that seemed underdeveloped in this first book.

Rating: 2.5

I'm really, really wavering on what sort of rating to give this book. While it's not bad by any means, I had heard so much about it by the time I picked it up that my expectations were through the roof. Unfortunately, those expectations weren't met. So, I'm going back and forth. I did enjoy aspects of the book but I was expecting to be blown away and I wasn't.

To start with... Brooke. While I can appreciate that she's been thrown into a situation that she knows nothing about, I had a hard time (a) relating to her relationship woes when she was in the middle of what could potentially be a life and death situation and (b) listening to her harangue her ex-ish boyfriend on his flip-flopping emotions when she's doing some emotional flip-flopping of her own between him and Mirko. To be honest, I wasn't enamored of the love triangle aspect. It felt like Brooke "fell in love" with Jaran waaaaay too quickly and suddenly they were exchanging I love yous and gooey eyes. The Mirko steps into the picture and she's unwillingly attracted to him. But she still wants Jaran. Who's human. And will age. And is super easy to kill. I just... don't see that going anywhere.

Meanwhile, Mirko. He didn't endear himself to me when we first met him. He was rude and arrogant and I kept thinking "GEEZ! Show a little compassion, her whole life has been thrown out of whack. Jerk." Admittedly, he got better. But then he got all needy and I was all "WAIT A SEC! Why is he begging Brooke to pick him when she barely knows him?" His begging kind of threw me because it felt out of character. Did I miss something vital about him here? Something that would make this arrogant, strong character act so very differently from how he had acted previously? I don't know.

Then we have the best friend. Kaitlynn. I can't figure out why she was included in their little gathering other than to provide Brooke with some female companionship. By adding her to their group, she's now been put in the line of fire. Her life is in danger when it wasn't before. She has no physical skills. She's walking bait, basically. And... I can't figure out why she was included.

Honestly, I didn't hate this book by any stretch of the imagination but I could never quite get behind what was happening. If your life is in danger - and it's something that you've experienced firsthand after a brutal attack - is your focus really going to be on whether or not your ex-boyfriend is making eyes at the trampy vamp or is going to be on finding a way to make yourself stronger and faster and better able to take care of your friends? It isn't until Brooke's powers put her friends in danger that she starts taking her training seriously. By that point she had been attacked more than once and Kaitlynn had been held hostage (albeit briefly).

Interesting world-building and a nice take on the vampire genre, but I was never dragged into the story like I was expecting to be.

I picked Descended by Blood up as a free Amazon download. Honestly, I can’t turn down free, so downloading the book was a no brainer on my part. Then, as with a lot of my ‘freebies,’ I let it sit on my Kindle for a while before I opened it up and started reading it. Soon I started to see all the chatter surrounding this book. Not just from random tweets and posts, and Goodreads updates, but from bloggers and readers whose opinion I trust (and have also been known to bully me into quite a few great reads I might add.) I finally decided to see what all the fuss was about, and boy am I glad I did. This book was so much more than I expected. Wow… just wow!

I went into Descended by Blood knowing that it was about vampires. Honestly, the name kinda gave it away, but I started reading it without going back to read the synopsis. I’m kind of glad that I did that because the suspense that Angeline Kane builds in the story and her characters is worth just going along for the ride… and what a ride it is. The first chapter in this book is full of action and it doesn’t slow much from there. The mystery behind the action helps to build the suspense. Trust me, every bit of suspense, every question that is posed and every bit of frustration that Brooke is faced with you will experience and it is all worth it. *sigh*

The characters in Descended by Blood have depth and make you want to get to know them better. Kaitlynn, Brooke’s best friend, is worthy of her loyalty and friendship. Jaren does his best to be the perfect first boy friend, most of the time. Mirko… well, we’ll get to Mirko later. *swoon* Just know that as you read this book you will feel like you not only know but can relate to each of these characters. Kace helps you feel their pain, anger and so much more. None of the characters are perfect, but that just makes them more endearing. What’s not to love?

That brings us to the bad guys and Kace has provided readers with some really, really bad ones. The kind that are easy to hate and fear. Characters you would be crazy not to fear.

Yeah, this story is about vampires, but if that was all it was about I wouldn’t be rambling…. I don’t ramble for just any read. I ramble for the books that make me think and make me feel. The books that have depth and make you care. Descended by Blood does all that. At least it did for me. Brooke came to some pretty deep realizations about herself and others in her journey. They were lessons that were hard to learn but if they would have been easy they wouldn’t have meant as much. I loved watching her grow, mature and find the strength and knowledge she needed to survive. She had to make some tough decisions and grew with each one she made. Accepting herself was the first step. A great message for a YA book to portray.

And then there was Mirko…. I honestly don’t want to give anything away, and I hope that I haven’t. Mirko enters the story later in the book but he pretty much steals the show from his first scene. I’m not the only reader who wasn’t impressed with him at first and I honestly didn’t know what the fuss was about when I saw all the ‘Team Mirko’ references that started popping up. I’m going to end this review with a little secret. I don’t think that I have ever intentionally picked a ‘team’ when it comes to love triangles or interests. I prefer to let the author lead me and the character in whatever direction they are pulled. Not so with Descended by Blood. Sure, I’ve had preferences before. One character that I liked a little more than the other, but this is the very first time that I can honestly say that I have a real preference and may become ‘fan girl’ over it. I am totally ‘Team Mirko’ and am proud to say it! *swoon* big time!(less)

It was an adrenaline rush from the start. The story moves fast and brings you from one thing to the next. The characters developed nicely and you really get a feel for them. I liked seeing Brooke change and really learn to stand up for herself and her friends, instead of being the girl who won't even defend herself against Jaren's snotty ex-girlfriend. She comes to accept her vampire blood and learns to embrace it and use it, though it does take a while and some help from Mirko, a wise very old vampire Lijepa, and her BFF Kaitlyn. Mirko helps train Brook how to fight, and Lijepa helps her to learn to use her special skills. Kaitlyn is the awesome BFF who is understanding and non judgmental and I really like her personality. I hope we get to see more of her in the future books. She really helps Brooke to just be who she is meant to be, and not to be so afraid. Onto the whole love triangle thing. I love how now being an adult I look back and laugh because I remember the drama of being a teenage girl with a crush, and how one minute it's heaven and the next you are an emotion wreck. The whole falling in love quick thing usually does bother me, but it doesn't so much in this book because it's a typical teenager thing. Brooke is so head over heals over Jaren, and has liked him forever so I can see how she's "in love" with him. I kinda don't really like Jaren much. I mean I feel a little bad for him because he's had a rough upbringing with a dad who doesn't care, but I don't think he is deserving of Brooke at all. He thinks he can just want her, and then not want her, and then want her again, all while expecting her to just take him back. Mirko on the other hand has wanted her the whole time he has known her and never wavered in his decision at all. Yes he's a little arrogant, but really he has every right to be so I am team Mirko all the way. I hope we get to know more about his deep dark past. I am looking forward to the next book in the series, and hope it continues on a fast paced thrill ride like this one.(less)

While I did have some issues with the storyline, the excitement of the plot kept me happily reading.

First of all, my main compliant lies with the main character, Brooke. Let’s just say that she is incredibly melodramatic. I felt like she was crying every two seconds. She was definitely an emotional character. This was only worsened by the fact that Brooke’s relationships formed at a breakneck speed. Brooke falls in love with two separate boys in an incredibly short span. First she dates Jaren for a few days then has a massive breakdown when she finds out that he may reconnect with his ex. Then, skip ahead a few weeks and they are head over heels in love. Then, Mirko is introduced, things get rocky with Jaren and suddenly she loves them both. I understand that it is possible to have feelings for more than one person at a time and I can even buy into the fact that “love” is easy to come by as a teenager. But I just cannot get behind the fact that Brooke falls for two guys so quickly and so completely. She doesn’t really know either one, never mind the fact that she is constantly fighting for survival. Does she really have time to be worrying about her love life?

That being sad, I still do like Brooke and Mirko together. As a reader, I can go for the good boy or the bad boy. It really just depends on the specific relationship between the characters. And I really did not like the relationship between Brooke and Jaren. I did not really feel their chemistry and to be honest, he just really annoyed me. Jaren is the first to be introduced and as I read, I found myself waiting to see what was behind door number two. I knew there was a love triangle in the book and I could not wait to meet Mirko. While I said before, I feel the relationship between him and Brooke moved too quickly, I still feel they would be good together. Hopefully in the next book we will see more of the little things between them; see them slowly learn each other.

The story itself was fast-paced and full of excitement. Even though I did not exactly love Brooke, I still found the storyline intriguing. Kace introduces a complex vampire world that is incredibly fun to piece together and work out. I hope she expands on all the vampire politics in the upcoming sequel, because I found them utterly fascinating.

All things considered, I enjoyed Descended By Blood. While I found flaws with the story and characters, I still found it be entertaining. And when it comes down to it, isn’t that what we want as readers? Sometimes your brain needs a vacation and you just want to escape into an excitement, thrilling world.(less)

Brooke Keller has spent her life starting over moving from town to town. When she finally settles in one place long enough to really build a life, she is suddenly attacked by both a mountain lion and a fanged man! Brooke soon learns her mother has kept a very important secret from her, and she embarks on a journey to find the one responsible for her attacks. Quickly exploring a side of herself she never even knew existed, Brooke is required to risk her life as well as those she loves the most.

First of all, I love this cover! I love the subtle colors and the dark, edgy hair and the enigmatic feel of it all. It is a perfect introduction to what is held within the book. Kace develops each character and the overall story at a perfect pace. There is plenty of mystery and action so that it isn’t all girly, love-triangle, teenage angst like a lot of the YA vampire books out there. Don’t be alarmed about the love-triangle, it is very much in the background of the main flow of things. There’s a little romance, but it really is all about Brooke finding out who she really is and setting out to learn more about herself and what is after her.

I think Mirko and Lijepa are my favorite characters. I just wish we had more explanation about how Mirko was made, and I wish there was more of Lijepa, period. Mirko definitely wins over Jaren for me. He obviously has the normal guy “primal” side, but he also has a sensitive, understanding side. And, well, he can kick some booty too.

Brooke is no weak heroine either, thank goodness! She has spunk and fire and strength, and I am loving that more and more these days. She is scared and confused, but she knows how to stand up for herself, even in the face of strong, angry vampires. She sets a wonderful example with her determination and self-sufficiency, something that has been rather hard to find in a lot of YA novels.

Gosh, I don’t know what else to say about this great read! I just can’t believe she left us hanging like that! I definitely can’t wait for the next installment of the series…

Descended by Blood by Angeline Kace is the first novel in her Vampire Born Trilogy and I loved it. Not many novels can grab my attention from the first page, but this one did.

Teenager Brooke is finally living a normal life after moving around for years with her mother. Now she goes school, she has her best friend Kaitlynn and a new boyfriend Jaren.

Not many novels can grab my attention from the first page, but this one did.

Teenager Brooke is finally living a normal life after moving around for years with her mother. Now she goes school, she has her best friend Kaitlynn and a new boyfriend Jaren. But when this stranger starts following her and one night demands her to go with him, she knows her life will never be the same. In a fight with this stranger Brooke discovers her speed and strength and knows she has to talk to her mother and “uncle”.

It appears Brooke is half human, half vampire and her father is a very powerful vampire, his enemies want to get rid of him and they need Brooke to complete that task. So now she needs to go into hiding and her friends Kaitlynn and Jaren are coming along, although her boyfriend isn’t too happy about her heritage.

I love the friendship between Brooke and Kaitlynn, they are really best friends because no matter what happens or what Brooke appears to be, Kaitlynn accept it without any questions and support her in every way. You cannot say that from her boyfriend Jaren, in the beginning of the book he’ll do anything to have her as his girlfriend, but the moment he sees her fighting this other vampire and discovers what she is, he says they need a break.

That is why I love Mirko, Brooke’s new bodyguard and her trainer. Mirko doesn’t hide that he really like Brooke and that he will do anything to make her his...and it helps that he is already a vampire and knows what Brooke is going through.

The attraction between Brook and Mirko but also between Brooke and Jaren is great and the competition between the two different men is fabulous. Brooke doesn’t really know who to choose, because she like them both....bet I can give her some advice.

This novel was an amazing read and I desperately want to get my hands on the second novel, especially with that little cliff-hanger at the end. This is definitely a book I would recommend to vampire/young adult loves.

Brooke Keller is a 16-year-old high school student who has never had a chance to settle in the same town for longer than a few years because of her mother’s constant need to move. Just as Brooke starts to feel more settled in her latest hometown of Buena Vista, Virgina – she has a handsome new boyfriend and a loyal best friend, she is followed by a strange man who eventually approaches and attacks her but what shocks her more is her strength and ability to fend him off and eventually kill him.

Events that follow lead to Brooke finding out she is a half-breed vampire – a Pijawikan and her father is possibly one of the strongest vampires around and the bad guys want to use her for their own nefarious purposes. Her life is now in danger and also of those who are closest to her so she is moved to a military base compound of sorts where she will be protected, trained and taught to hone in on her abilities as well as learn more about her heritage with the handsome and intriguing Mirko.

I absolutely loved Mirko! He is a Zao Duh – a made vampire. He is sarcastic, cocky and gorgeous and I am really eager to read more about him in the next installment.

I really enjoyed the history we are given on the Pijawikas and Zao Duh, they were certainly a unique and fascinating way of describing the types of vampires. I also liked the reasoning behind the villain’s pursuit of Brooke, it was definitely a power struggle and I am eager to see how it all pans out.

The secondary characters were written well, I loved the relationship Brooke shared with her best friend Kaitlynn, it was a really close bond which I enjoyed reading about. I loved Jaren initially but didn’t like how indecisive he became; I adored Lijepa and was saddened by her demise; as for Mirko – Yummo! I am looking forward to seeing how his relationship progresses with Brooke. Each of the characters had depth and were believable.

What prevented me from giving Descended by Blood 5 stars was the insta-love declarations, I wish they could have held back and let their relationship develop at a pace that was realistic and believable for their age. I am also not a love triangle fan - other than this, Descended by Blood was a really enjoyable read.

All in all, Descended by Blood is fast paced, action packed and entertaining, I enjoyed Ms Kace’s unique take on vampires, the riveting story she has created and her easy flowing writing style kept me engrossed from the start to the end of the book.

I am keen to read the next book in the series, Enemy Within which has an anticipated 2012 release date.

One of my favorite things about this book was that Brooke actually had a great best friend. I have read a lot of YA lately with friends that were, well. . . Not. While I do understand that the fake friend thing can be accurate, I still enjoyed reading about a genuine friendship. I will hold out hope that that is one thing that does not change through out the series. I have to admit to having a bit of a hard time getting into this one at the beginning.

Though I had some problems with Brooke, I felt that overall this was a good read with an exciting plot, and complex world of vampires that I'm looking forward to finding out more about.

Brooke, the story's protagonist, was a hard character for me to like. I liked her at the very beginning of the story, but after a turn of events I felt she became a bit selfish, and I grew frustrated with her. Brooke has the potential to be a strong character as the series goes on, but in this storyline I didn't see the character growth I expected from her. On the flip side I adored her best friend who was a well written supporting character. The supporting characters are good, and some of them I liked more than others. There were times I felt like the dialogue and the relationships were a little forced between a couple of them, which made it hard for me to connect with them on a level I had wanted to.

There's a lot of sizzling chemistry laced into this story with two completely opposite love interests fighting for Brooke's attentions. Jaren is the all American boy next door, charming, blonde hair, blue eyed star lacrosse player and Mirko, well that's just say he's been around for a long time so his cockiness is expected and it fits his strong personality. He doesn't sugar coast anything and he'll tell you what he thinks, which I liked. The most frustrating relationship for me was between Brooke and Jaren. I felt like their chemistry was more forced than it was with Mirko. Don't get me wrong, I adored both guys, and I understood why Brooke had the hots for both of them. They're great guys, but I didn't buy into how quickly Brooke was able to fall in love with both guys. I'm hoping that with the sequel Angeline will develop the relationships with Brooke and the guys a little more, because I felt like I missed out on watching both relationships really develop.

The story's world building is what made this an exciting read for me. Angeline created an intriguing vampire world, and layered it with mystery and action. I was fascinated with the complex vampire world that exists and I liked the little bits and pieces I was able to learn about it through out the story. Though I liked the idea behind story's vampirism, I was left wanting more of the back story on Brooke's vampire heritage, and the vampire politics that came into play, and I like that Angeline didn't give me everything at once. She's definitely got my interest and being that this is the first book in the series, I'm guessing there's a lot more world building, character growth and action to come. This was a good read and I'm looking forward to reading more.(less)

Second, the title. Descended By Blood. It's got so much power in it and it's very captivating. Another point.
Third, the blurb (I'll insert it at the beggining). Boy of her dreams, a kidnapp, dangerous journey. WIN!
Next, the story itself was fresh and fun. Angeline managed to make me laugh, cry, giggle and everything else that comes with a book from the very beggining. I loved the romance, I loved Brooke and Kaitlynn's friendship, which proves that some bonds can last forever and suffer everything and still stay strong.
Now, let me skip to the end a bit here. I did not approve. I mean, Angeline, it's brillantly written and intense and all, but I do not like cliffhangers ;) I mean, it's my fault, not the author's, but I die when I have to wait. *wails* BUT then again, it is another plus, because it means it is THAT good. That you would do anything to get the sequel. Btw, Angeline, can you list me for ARC? ;) *winky winky*
And now, the reason number one why I fell in love with this book soooo much: Croatia
I think you want an explanation now, so, I'm from Croatia, sitting in chair in its capital city, like, right now. So imagine my surprise when I found out that Mirko, Jelena, Lijepa and couple of other characters are from here too?!?
I know you're wondering who the heck are 'Mirko, Jelena, Lijepa and couple of other characters'. I can't tell you everything about them, because it can be considered as a spoiler, but I can say this: Mirko is HOT ;) He is one of those blow-your-mind type of guys.
I liked his sarcasm, his lines, his nickname for Brooke. It was really CUTE *hint hint* - it is on Croatian, I understand it and you don't *sticks out tongue*
There were some sad moments in the book, one in specific. I don't wanna talk about it. :(
Anyway, Brooke is an awesome character. No matter that 'little sectret', she still stays cool and strong and brave. Kaitlynn, I admit, annoyed me a little. Now, the heroine's best friend always annoys me in books. Can't explain why, really can't. But like I said, it's not author's fault. So, I think I covered all major bits.
Oh, that's right! There are palačinke in this novel. Read it and find out what delicious dessert is that ;))

REVIEW:
I was really excited when author Angeline Kace contacted me to review her upcoming book Descended by Blood. Not only did I love her cover but the plot sounded so different than the vampire stories I’ve read in the past. I was definitely right about it being a different vampire story; I was thrilled with all the action, family mysteries, friendship and of course romance. Descended by Blood has a little something for everyone.

Brooke is a young girl whose life has been filled with moving around from town to town. Never really getting to unpack her life and make a place her home. Her mom always feels like the are better opportunities out there and she always takes it, until finally the latest small town she’s stayed longer than any before. With her best friend and “soul sister” Kaitlynn and her long time crush that might be forming into something more than friendship, Brooke feels she’s finally found her home. But when a mysterious man, who seems anything but normal with fangs, is stalking her, her life becomes a whirlwind of danger and mystery.

Brooke really wants to have the typical teenage life. I really enjoyed how Kace started off the novel really getting in depth with her friendships and her life. Usually authors just throw you right into the action of the story but I really liked getting t know the lead characters before any of the main plot came into view.

The best part of Descended by Blood that I felt was my favorite was her friendship with Kaitlynn. It was so real and fun, they were hilarious together, and relied on each other when they need someone to talk too. It was just the best friendship I’ve read in a book in a long time.

Now for the romance, the oh so popular love triangle that I usually don’t have a liking for was so much fun in this book. Two guys are introduce, Jaren and Mirko, there is a huge difference in personalities with these guys. But I feel that they both even Brooke out in different ways and I’m excited to learn more about both in future books.

Overall I adored this book, it was well written, always had me on the edge of my seat and I loved each character introduced. The best part was the mystery behind Brooke and whom she is deep down and what mysteries lie in her family. There was never a dull moment and I look forward to the next installment.

RECOMMENDATION:
This is a young adult book with all the goodies of a thrilling paranormal romance. Fans of Heather Hildenbrands Dirty Blood and Kiersten White’s Paranormalcy will love this novel.

Descended by Blood kind of gave me a Twilight love triangle vibe, but without the werewolves. That's just to say that this is a book with a lot of focus on the romance department, and if you enjoy that then this is an interesting, fun read.

Brooke was a great character, and Angeline Kace did a wonderful job peeling back the different layers of her. One of my favourite things about Brooke was that she didn't spend all of her time brooding, and wasn't the typical emo teenage girl. She's bubbly and she's fun! She gets together with her best friend, and they cry and giggle and make you feel all nostalgic for some of your own girl time. But there's some real pain stemming from some very real issues there as well.

In particular, Brooke's relationship with her father was done very well. I like reading about dysfunctional families when they're dealt with properly and given the type of attention they deserve.

Now, I really hated her relationship with Jaren. He really, totally, completely SUCKS. I felt constantly annoyed by him; somehow he's okay with her freakishly killing someone in his house, but as soon as she turns out to be a vampire he bails? Um, no. Killing is (or should be) fairly traumatic. The transitions in atmosphere also weren't really there. One minute every thing would be fine then -BAM- there would be a near death occurence and then they'd just go right back to normal. And reading the action scenes felt a bit lacking for more action described through the writing.

I really like the story behind the book, especially all the vampire politics. The fantasy in it is intriguing too, but I really hope that in the future books the characters will be a bit more serious about the events going on. Mirko is a perfect example of what I would like to see: he's fun and plays around a lot, but he's serious when he needs to be. I didn't see that coming from the other characters too much, which detracted from the story a bit for me. But it's still a good debut from Kace, and for those who enjoy the vampire trend going on right now this one is worth picking up to read.

ARC e-book received from author for me to read and write an honest review on it. Thank you, Angeline!(less)

This book was SO close to going on my 'Abandoned' shelf, but I forced myself to finish it because I don't like to give up on books.

The first nine chapters were EXTREMELY slow; "blah, blah, blah, Jaren is my huge crush and I want him to notice me," Brooke whines to Kaitlynn. Personally, I don't think that it was necessary to use NINE chapters in order to develop Brooke & Jaren's relationship. I also didn't see Jaren as an important character -- it seemed like he was just there to end the book...more
