From Marjorie Liu About the Hunter Kiss Series:

Long ago there was a war between demons and a race of creatures that created, from human flesh, superhuman warriors who fought their battles, and who eventually imprisoned the demons inside a multi-dimensional prison that, after thousands of years, is finally weakening. Unfortunately, those warriors have all died out, except for one bloodline, which has been protected for thousands of years by five demons who live by day as tattoos, and who peel off their host's body at night to form a lethal, yet childlike, army.

Passed down from mother to daughter, only the demons decide when the time is right to leave a host. When that happens, when the mother loses their protection, she is murdered by those she hunts. Usually in front of her daughter. Fathers are not talked about, ever. Fathers are never acknowledged. There is no family but mother and daughter—and the demons who protect them.

Maxine changes everything, in more ways that one. She's fallen in love with a former priest whose secrets are almost as terrible as her own. Grant can alter the nature of a human—or demonic—soul with nothing but his voice, and he's been using that gift to help others, to make the world a better place. Maxine and Grant are determined not to lose each other, no matter what—no matter who comes for them. But there's a lot of uncertainty in their lives, and risk.

One day Maxine will have a daughter. Grant hopes—and believes—that he will be the father. And this is a letter to that unborn child, a way for him to be with his little girl. Just in case the worst happens. Just in case he never gets to meet her. He wants her to know she's loved.
