Templar Chronicles
Devil’s Kiss
One of Barnes & Noble's Top 20 YA novels of 2009. Introducing a fabulous new heroine, Billi SanGreal, this is goth romance meets horror - a blockbusting, dark, supernatural thriller packed with action and excitement.

Billi would much rather be a regular high-school student than a secret warrior out to defeat the Unholy. When she meets thrilling, seductive Mike, Billi is dazzled. But Michael is not just a heart-breaker, he’s an archangel with a terrifying agenda…

Publishers Weekly Starred Review
“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.”
