I wasn't sure what to expect when I picked up Devil's Kiss. I'd heard widely varied reviews, but I was intrigued nonetheless. I've always loved fantastical stories that are rooted in truth and I was even more intrigued by the fact that the main character was female.Devil's Kiss pulled me in right fr...

I love history, and I love stories based on historical figures, myths and of course I love Templar legends!So this book fit right into that categories!! This story took on more of a paranormal feel, but the way it was woven into the Templar's was amazing!I don't normally read a lot of YA novels, al...

Bilquis, Billie for short, has a bloody past and the promise of a bloody future. Not by her own choice. She does not want to be part of the Templar Knights and frankly, I don’t blame her. The people around her, from her father to all the other not so pleasant Knights, with one or two exceptions, are...

Have you ever felt blessed to have access to books? Or, much less simply, know how to read? When Sarwat Chadda puts pen to paper, it is brilliant. It is a privilege just to read his work. I actually felt like the author was doing me a favor by just writing this novel. I absolutely LOVED this book. B...

This is not your ordinary YA book about angels. This is gritty, brutal, but also a very touching and well-written book. You have knights, bad angels, fighting, a dysfunctional family, and a young person finding their place in the world. The first time I read it, I'll admit I was shocked by it, but n...

Sarwat's book hasn't gotten too much press outside the UK. I have no friggin' idea why though, because it is awesome. This was, seriously, some fantastic YA urban fantasy that I think would easily appeal to adults. Sure, Billi is only 15 - but she has had to grow up really fast and it has made her m...

“Wrought with high emotions and tense with danger, Devil's Kiss is everything a debut should be.”I bought this book as soon as it came out. It has sat on my shelf glaring at me at times, almost screaming “pull me down and read me.” Now I know why. Billi is not to be messed with and I should have rea...

Billi SanGreal lives with her father and his few comrades, the last Templars. She is the first female to train to be a Templar, and there doesn't seem to be much in the way of a replacement generation besides her and the psychic orphan Kay. Her mother was killed years before, and the difficult and p...

This was a powerful, gritty, very dark story. In fact, I am quite surprised that this was released as a young adult book, other than the age of the protagonist, Billi. Billi SanGreal lives a grim existence as the daughter of the leader of the very small remains of the once-powerful Knights Templar....
