Publisher Description
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. The only way to live—and the very way she'll die. For one day, her demons will abandon her for her daughter to ensure 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 veils. It is a life lacking in love, reveling in death, until one moment—and one man—changes everything.

The Iron Hunt Listener Reviews

" So far I am enjoying this book. I love trashy supernatural/mystery books. This doesn't necessarily mean I love bad writing although the two are often assumed to be one and the same. Marjorie Liu takes on this genre with creativity and a strong sense of her characters. I am really enjoying it. Great read after a long day of forcing at-risk teenagers to talk about human rights. "

" imaginative, unique, and really well written "
— Terena, 2/8/2014 -
" This book was really hard to get through because of the writing. The never ending sentence fragments drove me nuts. "
— Alex, 1/2/2014 -
" I really liked this book. She is the last of her 'kind'. Takes place in Seattle, mostly. Lots of other worldly stuff going on demons and such but no so confusing that you can't follow the story. I look forward to the 2nd book. "
— Denise, 1/1/2014 -
" Gotta love those tattoos... "
— Darby, 12/6/2013 -
" Ok - might try book 2 sometime but didn't create a strong impression of any kind. In it's favour there wasn't anything that I really hated - it was just lack a spark. More UF than PR. I suppose I liked the idea but wasn't grabbed enough by the central character or style of the book. "
— Anna, 12/4/2013 -
" I liked the concept however it disappointed me. In the future, I might give the rest of the series a go but like I stated before -- just not what I hoped for. "
— Erin, 11/18/2013 -
" I read book 4 first, and thoroughly enjoyed it, So I picked up books 1-3, and decided to give those a shot. I was surprised that book one started off kinda slow, but the intensity and action built up quite nicely. Can't wait to start book 2. "

" interesting characters. will read more of this series. "

" Excellent start to a new series. "
— Writtenwyrdd, 1/17/2013 -
" Didn't like this series much at all. Maybe a little too dark and hard to follow for my taste. "
— Dawn, 12/9/2012 -
" An entertaining mystery by a women who has demons living on her skin as tattoos during the day. "
— Wendroz, 4/28/2012 -
" What an awesome read! Original urban fantasy series with great characters and a strong heroine. Liu does a great job of showing her strength without resorting to snarky comebacks and cocked hips - wonderfully refreshing. Looking forward to book 2 "
— Laura, 1/18/2012 -
" Impressive. Not an easy read but it kept pulling me on, and I'm glad it did. This book was my introduction to Liu and I've since read others. A very adult writer, especially in contrast to so many teen-er novels. "
— Lindig, 10/16/2011 -
" A little more in-depth and complicated than some of the urban fantasy I've read. I had to reread bits at times. But I actually enjoyed the complexities. "
— Emily, 4/19/2011 -
" I'm not sure, three of four stars. Liked it but found it a bit confusing from time to time. Somehow reminded me of the Lila Black series by Justina Robson. "
— Hanneke, 2/7/2011 -
" A little wordy at times, but I really liked the characters and the plot. The world Liu creates is nowhere near black and white, and I think she does a great job of explore the "grey" areas. "
— Larenda, 1/19/2011 -
" Loved it the second time, too. Written like poetry, fluid and flowing language. "
— Jessica, 1/15/2011
