Synopsis

Santa Luz has a hunter, and her name is Jill Kismet. She is an exorcist who works the nightside, armed with silverjacket ammo and carrying a hellbreed mark on her wrist. Her training is complete, and she is ready for whatever the dark sends her way.

The trouble is closer to home than the wider world. Hellbreed have decided they can run her town, and a run of nightmarish murders is piling up on top of that. The killings point to a rogue Were working his way through Santa Luz, and he has help.

Jill has allies of her own, but the help she is offered is not what she needs. She needs a miracle, and miracles are scarce in her line of work. More ammunition looks like the safer bet.

This is urban fantasy told in the first person, in Jill's blunt, combative voice. The tone is hard-edged and dark, with monsters, gunfire and a heroine who hits back when something comes for her. It is the first book in the Jill Kismet series.
