This is the 2nd book by this very talented author.
Can Elizabeth manage to escape what fate has store in for her by carrying the child of Satan. Or can she change this unwanted desire.
Freddie hides Elizabeth at a safe haven not only that is off the grid but will b protected by the Legion of Light. This means watchers is strongly forbidden.
Whilst Elizabeth is there she is left alone with just her thoughts. Will Michael ever return? Does she thinks about the love she has for Michael who is the embodiment of the Archangel. It is also here Elizabeth starts battling her feelings for her long time friend and guardian Freddie.
I feel so bad for Elizabeth as each time she has found love it has cruelly taken away from her and goes ashtray.
The battle of age comes around and Elizabeth characters decides to do the unthinkable.
Awakening the Dark Realms fiercest warriors and betrays the trinity. The destiny of all of this is and will be decided by the birth of this one child
Yet again LJ has done it with this book and made my hand not only glued to my kindle but I simply couldn't put it down.
Can't wait for book 3 now

The Conception by LJ Amodeo is the second book in the Descendant Series. This story was a lot like the first, interesting for the most part but dragged in some parts. I disliked Elizabeth even more in this one and Freddy didn’t really stay consistent with his character. I didn’t recognize him half the time. He just wasn’t Freddy, even when he was Freddy. It has the potential to be amazing though. It was an enjoyable read.

Book 2 is even more intense
Whoa! From one epic situation to another, we continue Elizabeth’s viewpoint from the cliffhanger of book 1. This part of the story we glimpse multiple events that keep the intrigue alive. Leave it to Beth to make rash and catastrophic decisions, although it is done out of love and good intentions. Afterall she is still a teenager not quite 18 nor experienced as an adult. I don’t wish to release spoilers but keep in mind book 2 does exceed book 1. Definitely worth reading. Onto the conclusion of this trilogy.

Overwhelmed with loss and confusion clarity seems out of reach.
With so many overwhelming circumstances bearing down. Conflicting information from many sources. It is difficult to find trust and truth. Between disorienting visions, contrived deception, and weight of making the wrong choice where can her path be found. Who can be trusted.

Good story plot
I enjoyed the plot of the story. Angels and mortals put into a fantasy story . Top that with hidden words of wisdom, a war between heaven and hell. Between Satan and Archangels. Between the sons of Lucifer and God's chosen one Archangel Michael. There's love, hate, war,death,self perseverance, sacrifice, birth, death. Well written. Only con for this book is the author did not decipher the Latin that they use. We as readers were suppose to understand what was said but it was not repeated in English. Throughout out both books is quite a bit of Latin . I feel it took away some understand of the story.

An emotion-driven paranormal YA story, “The Conception” is the second book in “The Descendent” series and picks up right where the last left off.
