5-15-10 Devil's Kiss by Sarwat Chadda - Fiction

3 - An interesting idea but not a totally gripping story. Billi SanGreal is a Templar. Not a knight yet, but in training. She's unusual because she's a girl and she's the youngest member of the order. She hates it. When other girls are going to the movies or the mall, she's training with weapons or learning Latin. She has to worry about school counselors and child services because of all the injuries she receives in training. Plus everyone thinks her father murdered her mother but she can't tell anyone that her mother's death was caused by the supernatural. Now Kay, her childhood friend, is back in town and instead of just continuing as her friend he's the new Oracle for the order. One of the most powerful Oracles of all time. But it comes down to Billi, who turns her back on the order when her father is injured, to face her fears and her anger and to save the world from a biblical fate. Not awful, but not fantastic either. There wasn't quite enough character development to make you care.
