hunter kiss series
The Hunter Kiss series is about the last living demon hunter on earth -- a woman covered in living tattoos that peel off her body at night to form her own personal demonic army -- an army that is her only family, dedicated to saving her life -- and destined to end it.
“Her world is full of demons and heartache, multidimensional prisons, faeries, blood, magic -- ruling and shaping her life, leaving her very much alone. Except for her tattoos. Which are alive, and form her own personal army.” ~ excerpt from Romantic Times interview
