Rule #1: Trust no one.
Rule #2: Never fall for your insanely hot mentor.
Rule #3: If you do fall for your mentor, never let him find out. Ever. Because you might end up in demon hunter boot camp.

Too bad I was never good at following the rules…

I’m not your average seventeen-year-old girl. While everyone else is worrying about dances and boyfriends, I’m trying to figure out why some black-eyed freak wants to kill me.

My name is Kory Colt, and I just found out I’m a demon hunter.

Enter Rex Lucas, demon hunter extraordinaire. He’s even more of a badass than me. I’m having a hard time defying him. And I can’t stop drooling over his hot bod.

But he’s off-limits, and that’s not my only problem. Something dark is out there watching me. Waiting.

While I pretend to be a hero, I might as well find out who’s after me and why my parents kept my lineage hidden all these years. They had to have a reason to take this secret to their graves.

Am I the hunter or the hunted?


BLOOD IN IRON is the thrilling first installment in The Iron Series. A gritty and fast-paced dark urban fantasy featuring a kickass heroine, supernatural action, forbidden romance, and twists that will keep you up all night reading.

Perfect for fans of The Mortal Instruments and Vampire Academy.

**This is mature YA and best suited for ages 16+**

From the Inside Flap

Eyes followed me down the dark street, a heavy, forebodingchill tattooing my spine. I glanced over my shoulder, my breath obscuring theskyline in the distance. Not one single shadow slithered along the crumblingsidewalk. But something was out there.

Most seventeen-year-old girls had no business walking aloneat night in Bishop City. My fingers curled around the brass knuckles in mypocket. Good thing I wasn't like most seventeen-year-old girls. Still, anotherbody had been found. Like the others, a jagged hole was torn into the neck. Amonster was responsible for this, but not the teeth and claws kind. Thesupernatural didn't exist. And if it did, this world was more screwed than Ithought.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic YA Supernatural Read!
Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2015
Verified Purchase
I am a big fan of YA supernatural romance so when I saw the description, it seemed like a perfect fit. After the first few chapters, I could not put the book down! I pretty much read the entire book in 2 days. The author paints a very vivid picture with extremely detailed descriptions and scenes. I was absolutely sucked into the story. I really liked the arc of the heroine Kory, there was a lot of growth and development for her character. And I’m a huge sucker for romance, so my favorite parts were the interactions between Kory and her teacher/trainer Rex. The story reminded me of Vampire Academy which I absolutely loved so this was the perfect read for me. I highly recommend this novel for fans of YA supernatural, and I can’t wait for the next book in the series!

4.0 out of 5 stars Blood in Iron

I downloaded Blood in Iron as a free book from Amazon. Personally, I give this book three-stars because I dislike Rex's character--he annoyed the heck out of me. But, because that is a subjective choice on my part, and I don't think all readers will hold his a$$holishness against him, I rounded my rating up to reflect my appreciation for a unique and engaging plot with some (other) good characters. Excellent ending, by the way, although the door is left open for more of the story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dark and Gritty. I Loved it!
Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2016

What can I say about Blood in Iron? How ‘bout it’s freaking amazing. Once I started reading, I didn’t want to put it down. The author does an excellent job of pulling the reader right in to the story and captures Kory’s thoughts and moods perfectly, while introducing the reader to a new, refreshing, and unique twist on the vampire / demon hunter mythology.

Kory’s life is anything but easy. Her parents died when she was young, her aunt became a drug addict, and Kory had to develop a tough outer shell to protect herself from the harshness of her everyday life, which gets her into lots of trouble and fights. By seventeen she’s one tough badass everyone fears, but when she enters into a fight with some creep on the street things take a scary turn and Kory learns first hand that the worlds a lot darker than she ever imagined and full of terrifying beings she never would have believed existed. From this moment on her life is forever changed and she’s thrust into a frightening supernatural world where she’ll discover who she really is and who she’s meant to become whether she wants to or not.

Blood In Iron is gritty and raw in its environment with its use of bad home situations, drugs, drinking, foul language, and anger issues, making it not your typical teenage supernatural read, (which I loved) as we see Kory’s character grow and evolve when new kid Stein and hot demon hunter Rex enter her life. All in all, I absolutely loved this book and will definitely be getting the next book in the series.

3.0 out of 5 stars Bad Grammar
Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2021
Verified Purchase
I really tried to like this book, but there were too many glaring grammar issues.
While the storyline was extremely interesting, the bad grammar kept pulling me out of the story and I just got tired of working so hard.
Just a few of the many examples:
“I eyed the Russian’s hand precariously.” My eyes have never done anything precariously.
“My stomach took the opportunity to growl.” Stomachs don’t normally take opportunities, although that would be entertaining.
“Nate’s hazel eyes wondered over me.” It should be “wandered”.
“Rex was already scrolling something on a napkin before sliding it over.” It should be “scrawling”.

So, if grammar errors make you cringe, don’t read this book. An editor could’ve easily caught these errors.
The only reason I gave 3 stars is because of the interesting storyline.
If I have an old copy of this book and the writer has already fixed these errors in another edition, I apologize for pointing them out.

5.0 out of 5 stars reviewing the series as a whole....

I had this book in my kindle list for a while now and kept putting it off. I thought 'oh yuck, another vampire story.' But I ran out of things to read while out of town one week and I ended up loving it and reading the entire series in one week. I won't bore you with the story line since others certainly will. Just read it. It was actually very good. And unlike most series it didn't repeat too much of the same crap over and over that makes you want to slap the main character. She's a sarcastic little jerk for the most part...right up my (now old lady's) heart....lol

4.0 out of 5 stars WOW!
Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2016

Kory has never been afraid to walk down a dark, decrepit street at night for two reasons. One, she can see the villains lurking in the shadows, hear their footsteps as they approach, and feel their malicious presence closing the distance. And two, on any given day or night she’s more dangerous than them. Or so she thought. When the rebellious teen discovers the true evil underbelly of Bishop City, Kory’s life and all she’s ever known is irrevocably shattered. She’s caught between simply surviving and following the path she never knew existed. Rex, a Demon Hunter, becomes her teacher and the chemistry between them is both undeniable and forbidden.

Want a snarky, kick-ass teenager know it all as the main character? But underneath that tough exterior is just a girl who can hide her emotions well. Loved Kory's character. Her "biting" exterior and interior struggles, paved the way to a great story. The budding, yet forbidden romance between her and Rex ... WOW! I think I read the book in two days and craved the second book and read that in a day. Which only left me hanging for the third book that's not out yet. Big Bummer! But of course I'll wait and maybe try to get my hands on an ARC.

Had no idea what to expect when I started this book, but was very quickly pulled in by the characters and the action. Thanks so much for making this a Kindle Unlimited offering. Often that's the difference between my being able to finish a series or not. Off to start book two now!
