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.

Love vampire and love stories, August 2, 2010
This combination of love and vampires seems to be the thing right now, but let's face it: It's really enticing! A Horr-ific read in the GOOD sense of this word.

Descendant: Chronicles of the Ipswich Witch
I loved this book. Great characters and plot turns. Raven and Alasdair discover a love that spans a human lifetime and more. It had an interesting plot line and the origins of the vampire have never before been explained like it is here. Ms. Bachman did any excellent job in her debut novel and I am looking forward to book 2 Retribution next summer. I think this may be the next big craze in vampire series books. Twilight Moms if you are looking for a new Vampire to fall in love with this story is it. Look out Edward there is a new vampire on the block and his name is Alasdair!!
