Devil's Kiss Books in Order

The Devil's Kiss books drop you into a version of London where the Knights Templar never really went away. They changed, adapted, and kept hunting the Unholy in the dark. At the center is Bilquis, Billi, SanGreal, a teenage girl raised inside that world by her father, who expects discipline, obedience, and total commitment.

That would be enough on its own, but Billi is not a neat fit for the order. She is their youngest fighter, their only girl, and someone who keeps questioning the brutal logic of monster hunting. She wants space to be a normal teenager, but her life keeps dragging her back toward blood, history, and impossible decisions. That tension, between ordinary life and sacred war, gives the series its engine.

London is a big part of the mood. Old churches, hidden spaces, alleyways, and long shadows make the city feel built for secret orders and bad omens. Chadda mixes Christian legend, fallen angels, the undead, and later Russian folklore into a world that feels grimy, immediate, and never quite safe. The supernatural is not pretty here. It is messy, frightening, and often personal.

Billi never gets an easy fight.

In Devil's Kiss, the story turns on old loyalties, dangerous returns, and the cost of belonging to an order that demands everything. Dark Goddess widens the world, sending Billi into a werewolf story shaped by Eastern European myth, ancient enemies, and a threat big enough to freeze the future in place. The second book keeps the same dark heartbeat while opening the door to a broader, stranger world.

What makes the duology work is that the monsters are only half the problem. The rest comes from grief, duty, family pressure, romance, and the question of what kind of person Billi can afford to be. She is brave, angry, vulnerable, and often cornered. That makes her feel more human than invincible, which is exactly what this kind of series needs.

If you want YA fantasy with real bite, a strong sense of place, and a heroine who has to fight both demons and the people closest to her, the Devil's Kiss books are a solid place to start with Chadda's darker work.
