DESCENDING releases on March 28, 2014!

DESCENDING   by Holly Kelly  (Book 2 in the best-selling Rising Series.) Releases on March 28, 2014 Friends, family, and book lovers—I need your help. With the release of Descending by me, Holly Kelly, on the horizon, I need help getting the message out. You can help me by spreading the word. I ask you to please forwarding this email to all lovers of clean, paranormal romance. If you go one step further and send it to everyone on your mailing list, I will love you ‘til the day I die! As a reader, you have the ultimate power. Authors rise and fall by your recommendations and criticisms. I am forever indebted to you.  Writing Rising—the first book in the series—and seeing it succeed has been a joy. Always the dreamer, I’ve spent most my life in my own fantasy world—much to the chagrin of my teachers. It was when I began putting pen to paper and writing down my daydreams that I found my calling. It allowed me to expand, flesh out, and literally bring to life my imagination. And then once I started writing, I couldn’t stop. I am humbled by the response I’ve had. Descending has also been a thrill to write and there have been many surprises that occurred in the story that I truly didn’t see coming.  I’ve been able to delve more into the world under the sea, and experience the crazy stuff that happens when that world and ours intersect. The process has been an amazing experience!  I appreciate all the support I’ve been given that has encouraged me on this journey—the many wonderful reviews, messages of praise, follows on social media sites, and clicks on the *buy now* button that makes it possible for me to continue writing. Thank you a million times over! ~Holly Kelly *Holly Kelly is a happily married woman, so any promises of love are purely platonic, but still heart-felt.

When Xanthus cashes in a long-standing favor, Kyros is faced with doing two things he thought he'd never do—protect a mermaid and live on land. Dagonians loathe mermaids and Sara, Xanthus's wife, is no exception. Also, a Dagonian standing on human legs? As if being around the vile creatures responsible for polluting his home and killing his sister wasn't horrible enough, Kyros has to deal with Sara's troublesome human friend, Gretchen. Kyros can't help but resent Gretchen. Not only is she human and unforgettably gorgeous, but she leaves him swimming in confusion and feeling things he shouldn't be feeling—least of all for a land-walker! When Gretchen is nearly killed by an assassin's bullet, Kyros's mission changes. He's forced to become her protector. Forced is a gross exaggeration, though. The more time Kyros spends with Gretchen, the more he finds himself falling for this spunky, witty human. When it becomes apparent that something dark and evil will stop at nothing to see Gretchen dead, Kyros expends his resources to find out who that being is. Unfortunately, the answer causes more problems than it solves. When a rogue mermaid wants you dead, you’re safe from no one… not even the ones you love.

RISING by Holly Kelly In a war between the humans and the inhabitants of the sea—humans will  lose. Xanthus Dimitriou—the most lethal Dagonian to rise from the ocean—is on a mission to save mankind from annihilation. But first there’s one small thing he needs to do… kill a beautiful young woman in a wheelchair. Killing her doesn’t start out as part of his plan. He entrenches himself deep in the human world. Aligning himself with his enemies, he prepares to send them to Triton to face their punishment. Then Sara Taylor rolls onto the scene. Xanthus knows at once she’s a criminal. And her crime? Being born. She’s a human/ Dagonian half-breed, an abomination. Killing her should be an easy job. All he has to do is break into her apartment, slit her throat, and feed her body to the sharks. Simple, right? Wrong. If only she weren’t so beautiful, so innocent, so sweet... Saving the world may have to wait. It appears Xanthus has a woman to save. But protecting her may cost him his own life.
