By day, Maxine Kiss is covered by a protective layer of tattoos that are her demons alternate form, by night these demons peel from her body to assist in hunting zombies and other evil creatures. For generations beyond reckoning, the women of Maxine’s bloodline have served as hosts to these specially created demons but being a hunter is typically a short, difficult life.
Going against everything her mother taught her about surviving as a hunter, Maxine put down roots and has people she cares about. She fell in love with Grant, a quiet man with the unique ability to control humans and demons through music and his voice. Now a threat from Grant’s past threatens everything Maxine holds dear and the only way to save him is to unleash the darkness within.
Liu’s inventive second installment of the Hunter Kiss series delivers plenty of action with some unusual characters as Maxine struggles to keep up with the demons that escape their prison. Adding a different twist to evolution, Liu pays homage to Chariots of the Gods but Daniken never envisioned anything like this. A nicely crafted, suitably gritty urban fantasy that will appeal to fans of Robert Thurman, Mark Del Franco or Ilona Andrews.
