publishers Weekly
chadda's Fast-paced Debut Introduces 15-year-old Billi Sangreal, Who Is Drafted Into The Modern Remnants Of The Once-great Knights Templar By Her Fanatical, Emotionally Distant Father, Leader Of The Order (“how Was School?” He Asks While She's Still “covered In Slimy Gore” After An Exorcism). Though Skilled In Weaponry And Educated In Obscure Religious History, Billi Is A Poor Fit For The Templars: The Lone Girl In An Otherwise All-male Organization, Of Muslim Extraction But Surrounded By Christians And Lacking The Unblinking Ruthlessness Required By The Eternal War Between The Knights And The Forces Of Darkness. Nonetheless, She Finds Herself Standing Between The Angel Of Death, Michael, Who Has Become Blinded By Imagined Glories Of Enforced Salvation, And The Multitude Of Innocents Michael Would Happily Slaughter In The Name Of God. Scenes Of Spiritual Warfare Are Gripping (and Often Gruesome), As Is The Undercurrent Of Supernatural Romance. Chadda Offers An Original Take On Familiar Creatures Like Vampires, The Undead And Fallen Angels, But It's Billi's Personality And Tumult Of Emotions That Will Keep Readers Hooked. A Promising Beginning To Both This Series And Chadda's Career. Ages 13–up. (sept.)
