Synopsis

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.

3.5 Fun read! I liked the idea of this book, and I absolutely loved her 'demons'. It's always fun to find something new because, after a while, UFs tend to repeat themselves. So, yup, fun, fast-paced plot, with a lot of potential. And I like this author, I'll keep an eye out for more of her things. Wort......more

Goodreads review by Brownbetty

At once a reasonably good book and somewhat disappointing. Maxine Kiss, (oh dear) is the latest in a long, lonely line of female demon hunters. Protected by a pact with a group of demons who live on her skin as tattoos, Maxine knows that one day she, like her mother, will be abandoned by the demons......more

Goodreads review by Kelly

"When I was eight, my mother lost me to zombies in a one-card draw." That's the first sentence of Marjorie M. Liu's The Iron Hunt, and it's just about perfect as opening lines go. It's the primary reason I bought the book. Not only does it draw the reader in, eager to find out how and why this happe......more
