I
absolutely loved this book! So why did I take so long in getting a copy?
Nevertheless, I’m so glad I did.
From
the first moment the rich and mysterious Jet Cestone commission’s talented artist,
Haven to paint a Mural for his grandmother, she is intrigued, and who wouldn’t
be?
Jet’s
character is so real…so powerful, he all but jumps off the page. I loved the
way Haven coped with her feelings for him…held her own when confronted by a man
so commanding and gifted. I also loved the sarcastic humour between them.
The
characters are well written, and incredibly real. I found myself totally absorbed
and involved in the story.
I’m
a Christian, so tend to avoid romance novels as I don’t like overt sex in my
books…any more than I like bad language, or over the top violence. So for me to
read descended was a huge risk. But I’m so glad I trusted this amazing author.
Yes,
Descended is steamy/gritty, but there is a Christian morality undergirding it.
If
you like what I call sloppy/preachy Christian novels, then Descended is not for
you. This book is challenging, and makes one think about the dark issues facing
our world; while at the same time pulling the reader into a paranormal romance
that will knock your socks off!
An
awesome book, but be warned, you could find yourself reading it long into the
night.

Pratolo is a brilliant author, and I’m a fan eagerly awaiting her next book.

I love a good clean book too. Nothing quite like a bad book ruining your day especially when it seemed like such a good book!
