Devil's Kiss by Sarwat Chadda
5.0
The Devil’s Kiss was unlike anything I have read before. The characters, the story, the writing. It was just great. I really loved the book even though it was something I wouldn’t normally have read. It was a little gory and terribly sad at parts but overall I felt that every part of the book was necessary and amazingly well done.
The main character, Billi, has a hard life. Instead of being like a normal teenage girl she is part of a secret society called the Knights Templar. She spends her nights fighting the Unholy and learning everything they don’t teach you in school. Her life is pretty complicated and it gets even more complicated when her childhood friend, Kay, returns home as if nothing changed. In the year that he was gone, Billi changed more than he could ever know.
Billi was a very complex character. She had problems at school, home, and everywhere else she went. She knew she could never be normal and she hated it. Then there was Kay who seemed to complicate everything. She wants to be able to hate him but she just can’t. Then along comes Michael who is just creates a huge mess for everyone and causes tons of destruction for Billi, Kay, and the rest of the Knights.
The whole story just dragged me in. It was just so unique and while it did have some religion in it, it wasn’t the preachy type and it all had to do with the story. I normally don’t like religion in the books I read but I felt that this was entirely necessary and didn’t detract from the story.
Overall, The Devil’s Kiss was a great book and something that I would recommend to any lover of paranormal fiction. I know there is going to be a sequel to it and I can’t wait. =]
