Book Description

June 22, 2011
Some people love life so much that they refuse to leave it even in death. Cleona Conant (The Ipswich Witch), who died in 1721 has refused to give up the ghost. She has been body swapping ever since her death to remain here in the mortal realm. In 1780, she devised an elaborate plan to cross the paths of her future granddaughter Raven (twenty generations down her line), with an ancient vampire named Alasdair. Aided by the use of spells, incantations and Uber-shadowing, her plan moved into motion in 1983, when Alasdair discovered Raven and set his heart on making her his companion. Through a span of nearly seventy years he guarded her, all throughout her mortal life. However, once he gave her his eternal kiss he ultimately, and without his knowing, led their lives down a path which neither of them had the ability or knowledge to escape from what lay ahead. Does good always conquer evil, or does evil win once in awhile? Find out in DESCENDANT: Chronicles of the Ipswich Witch.

Review

Miranda Bachman has taken a different spin on a vampire story. It is not boy meets girl or vamp meets mortal kind of story, with a light hearted romp through life. Here we learn that vampires were created as a necessity by God to do what God cannot do.

1.0 out of 5 stars You get what you pay for, April 5, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Descendant: Chronicles of the Ipswich Witch (Paperback)
I was excited to see this book for 99 cents on the Kindle list. I soon found out why.

By 8%, I had to stop. Was this book even edited at ALL? By 8%, the crazy use of punctuation, misspellings and just downright BAD writing got to me. The final straw was a sentence that said, "You'll also find it bazaar" (instead of "bizarre") ... things like this are just ridiculous. If the author didn't care enough about the story to at least have people read it for simple mistakes, why should I care enough to read it?

3.0 out of 5 stars `Be careful what you wish for because you might just get it.', August 27, 2010
This review is from: Descendant: Chronicles of the Ipswich Witch (Paperback)
Cleona Conant is the Ipswich Witch. Since her death in 1721 she has been swapping bodies in order to remain in the mortal realm. In 1780, she constructed an elaborate plan in order to achieve future immortality. This plan involves her direct descendant, Raven Wolfe (20 generations later) and an ancient vampire named Alasdair Arcos.

This is the first book in a series, and involves a good deal of scene setting to establish the primary characters of Raven and Alasdair. Alasdair has been watching over Raven since she was a child, but waits until she is nearly 80 before making her his companion. This action, of course, has unforeseen consequences and a significant part of the novel involves establishing the worlds in which Raven and Arcos live and some of the various rules involved.

While I mostly enjoyed the story being recounted in the novel, I have some concerns. The text needs to be edited. I kept finding errors. While most were relatively minor, they interrupted my reading flow and jerked me out of the story. Is this important? Well, to me it is. Any story is a combination of content and presentation. The presentation should enhance the content, and it's hard to do that without some judicious proof-reading and editing.
