Chronicle As Books The Iron Hunt (Hunter Kiss #1)
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. It's the only way to live, and the very way she'll die. For one day her demons will abandon her for her daughter to assure 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 veil. It is a life lacking in love, reveling in death, until one moment--and one man-- changes everything...

The Iron Hunt.Intro Maxine Kiss.By day she is immortal, by night when her tattoos peel from her skin and become her 'boys' she becomes mortal. She had the best body guards in the world. They need her to survive and she needs them too. They are her friends, her family, and the only demons she loves. The Iron Hunt, is full of suspense and Mystery. It was an excellent book. I was weary about it in the beginning until I chewed through the first 200 pgs. Without a thought. I knew then that this was aCryptic. Not only does everyone speak cryptically to the main character, not really answering her questions about the important elements of her world and what's happening in it, but this is a first-person narration in an uncommonly elliptical style, not unlike the speaking style of several strong, silent types I know. I didn't mind all the sentence fragments because I simply imagined her speaking to me, and the style reflects both her personality and her confusion about who she is and what she
Not my fave, interesting prose, but the world didn't hook me like other books.
You may also read my review here: http://www.mybookishways.com/2011/11/...I read a Maxine Kiss short story quite a while back in an anthology and remember really enjoying it,so I wasnt surprised at how engrossing The Iron Hunt is. Maxine is a Hunter,from a long line of Hunters,tasked with keeping demons in check. Shes settled into tenuous comfort with her boyfriend Grant,former priest and so much more,and enjoys helping out at the soup kitchen and shelter that he runs. He veneer of normality
As suggested, I read the prequel to Iron Hunt in the anthology Wicked Things. The short story was good, held my interest, and had me looking forward to Iron Hunt. However, when I trying to read this novel, I found myself struggling to stay interested. There were also moments where I found myself confused as well. During the first 2/3 of the book, I kept going back and re-reading just to be sure I didn't miss anything. Also, new characters seem to be added at every turn, and when your already
2.5 Stars (almost 3)...it was just okI really can't complain about this book, but sheesh I'm having a hard time saying I liked it even just a little...Like always Marjorie's writing is flawless...But I just didn't connect to the characters or the storyline. "The Iron Hunt" did get an extra star b/c of the basic weirdness/originality of the story...this lady has quite the imagination. There's little to no romance between the characters (As another reveiwer said "The description is very
It was the coolest story I've ever read =)) what is grant FGS :D I've to read the second one too .can't wait.
