I like the idea behind the book, and I thought it was well executed, for the most part. I did feel like it never reached the confrontation it was leading up to...is it a series? If so, you can't really tell that, either. It left me wanting resolution and a little confused about what happened in the plot. I would read another book by her, but I want a better sense of story fulfillment. And, ugh! I just read the little blurb associated with the book: it's much better than that! And while there is a romantic element, it is not the driving theme behind the book by any stretch of the imagination. I'm glad I persisted past the first third. Initial language choppy. Short sentences. Fragments. Fortunately, it got better, though I am left to wonder why the tone/language changed. Bold choice in starting the series off sort of in media res for the heroine. She's grown up with her worldview, so it's not as though we missed the masquerade faltering when she hears The Call. She's settled, has a long-term boyfriend who she rescued from darkness and knows her unique situation, she's got an established enemy/antagonist. This serves to get the end of days plot going without lingering over lifestyle exposition, but it was also harder to accept those preexisting things, sort of. I guess other fiction has messed with my expectations of How Events Should Go. Still digesting things. It's not quite resonating with me, and I'm not rushing to download the next book (and not just because I have 6 more library ebooks waiting), but I think I will definitely be reading the next one. I did enjoy the book, but it took me a while to get into it. Also, there was a significant amount of stuff that happened at the end that wasn't explained well enough for my liking. Now, seeing that this is intended to be a series, it makes sense. But the book is tied up neatly enough (and my copy has no mention that I saw of "book #1 of series") that I was sure it was a stand-alone. Definitely worth checking out book #2. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Silver smoke winds around my torso, peeling away from my ribs and back, stealing the dark mist covering my hands and lower extremities...tattoos dissolving into demon flesh, coalescing into small dark bodies. My boys. The only friends I have in this world. Demons. I am a demon hunter. I am a demon. I am Hunter Kiss. By day, her tattoos are her armor. By night, they unwind from her body to take on forms of their own. Demons of the flesh, turned into flesh. This is the only family demon hunter Maxine Kiss has ever known. The only way to live--and the very way she'll die. For one day, her demons will abandon her for her daughter to ensure their own survival--leaving Maxine helpless against her enemies. But such is the way of Earth's last protector--the only one standing between humanity and the demons breaking out from behind the prison veils. It is a life lacking in love, reveling in death, until one moment--and one man--changes everything. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Her tattoos, that you can see on the cover, are other demons that bind themselves to her during the day. At night they are still her constant companions and eat things like nuts and bolts and drink vodka but she is vulnerable without her "tattoos".
*sigh*. Not in the mood. I'm getting old and my interests are definitely changing. ( )
