Cora is a woman with a dangerous set of skills but when she is assigned her latest target she misses her mark for the first time. The Demon's Kiss: Bloodcaster Chronicles Book 1 by R.L. Perez follows assassin Cora on her hunt for Vince, a seemingly normal teenager, except that he is anything but normal. Not even Vince knows that he is half Nephilim, half warlock, which seems to have its perks when a blood witch is out to assassinate you. Even though Cora isn’t certain why she needs to get rid of Vince, all she knows is that it’s her only ticket to freedom.

The Demon's Kiss by R.L. Perez is one of those books you find unexpectedly but feel that you were meant to read all along. It was right up my alley with the different races, unique magic, and just the right amount of action. The book sets itself apart with its varied cast of characters, especially the main protagonists. Although Vince and Cora are still young, they both show enormous growth during the story. Perez did a wonderful job alternating cleanly between their perspectives while slowly unraveling the story for the reader. I couldn’t help but hang onto every word while reading which eventually lead to the dreaded nail-biter. But, unlike most cliffhangers, this one had me eager to read more. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I think any book lover would feel the same.
