Description

"This book is GOOD!" --Faith Hunter, NYT and USA Today bestselling author of the Jane Yellowrock series


My name is Rebecca, but everyone calls me Becs.


Years ago, a mark appeared on my inner wrist--The Kiss, they call it--and it makes me a summoner. I can summon, well, things…entities of power, including demons. Which, I did, until recently. I quit, because I summoned a demon on behalf of a client and things went south. I fixed it, but now I owe that demon a favor and I don't know when he's going to call it in, or, what he's going to ask.


One thing's for sure, it won't be kosher.


Now I work in a fae bar, trying to stay out of trouble, waiting for the hammer to drop. But trouble tends to follow me. And my upstairs neighbor, Ash, seems to be right in the thick of it. He's gorgeous, with sexy curls, kissable lips, and a body to match. I can't believe someone like him even glanced my way.


Things get complicated when a local mob boss wants my help, a warlock decides I'm next on the menu, and my six-foot-tall fairy friend can't find his way home.


What's a Jewish, bird-watching summoner with family and friends to protect, to do?

The world building in this book is very good. I love how the lead character is a strong female with a very altruistic heart. Her life is constantly in danger yet she strives to help her friends. The characters are multifaceted and engaging. I'm eager to read more about this character.

A unique storyline. Great heroine, nice mystery, villainous demons, fast paced action. Side characters were fantastic, I liked everything about this book. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book from Netgalley.

I loved the female heroine great dialogue and unique world building with a little romance, action thrown in. I can't wait to read more.

Fun, romantic, action and sass. Love the main character. She is smart, snarky and brave. I like the magical world in this book. It's original and fun.

Thanks to the publisher for providing an arc.

From just the cover alone I knew this would be my type of book. Female lead, with demon summoning powers, add in the Fae and Ash who may just have a different set of wings. The world building was perfect and I was fully invested in these characters. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series

Action, demons, wizards, and plenty of snark - not to be missed! This one is a winner all the way around and a heck of a fun read! Cant wait for more!

This is a good read. So many elements cultivated into a story that I found intriguing. A bit slow in places but don't give up. It's A book well worth reading. The ending was not what I expected.

A big thank you to NetGalley and Bell Bridge Books for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. This is the first book in a new series. It is an interesting book. I really like Becs, she tried hard to do the right thing, but kept getting in more trouble. She was in a no win situation. She loves her family and does what she can to protect them. Unusual story. Super intriguing. 3.5 stars Lots of potential

Was this review helpful?

I loved this book. The word building was fantastic. The characters were imaginative and the plot was a fresh take on the usual fae/demon urban fantasy.

Becs is sassy and spunky. the author illustrates how decisions can have an impact on family and the lengths someone will go to to keep them safe even if it means them staying away.

If your looking for a new urban fantasy then I highly suggest giving this a read.

I received an arc of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This is the 1st book in a new series by the Author ........... full of action , demons , wizards and plenty of snarky comments - what more could a reader want !

Years ago a mark appeared on Becs' wrist enabling her to summon entities of power , usually demons .
After a summons goes wrong and she ends up owing a demon a favour for helping put things right she decides that laying low and working in a Fae bar will keep her out of trouble ........... no such luck !!
Trouble still manages to find her in the shape of the local Mob ........... a warlock decides she is next on his menu and her fairy friend from upstairs ( he of the great body and kissable lips) gets lost on his way home , what can she do ?

This was a thoroughly enjoyable read and I look forward to the next book in the series

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own

Interesting book for sure. I binge read it. The main character building was great, but I felt like some more details were needed about other characters. Granted this is book 1 and a great start, so maybe some of my questions will be answered with the next book. Definitely recommend!

Ps…I’m so excited to learn more about Ash.

This is a fun book is part of a paranormal magic summoner jewish main character who falls in love with her neighbor whose an angel. While extremely readable, my only complaint is that it seems like it's the first in a multi-part series and there is no clear ending. I would recommend waiting for the whole book series to come out as it's difficult to tell if this will end well or not. A bit of a bummer as the main character is fun to follow.

Was this review helpful?

What a great read Demon Kissed by J.D. Blackrose turned out to be! I actually had the second book in The Summoner’s Mark series first and I was tempted to jump in but I’m so glad I waited because I feel reading them out of order really would have ruined it for me.

There’s quite a bit of world-building and character introduction that go on here with the main one, of course, being Becs. She’s a Jewish, bird-watching summoner with The Kiss. A what? It’s a mark she has, and it gives her the ability to summon entities of power, including demons. Becs quit summoning after she had one go wrong. She did manage to fix it but not without a hefty cost in the shape of her owing a favor to a demon. Now she’s trying to lay low, work her job while waiting for her debt to come due. Life has other plans... Of course it does!

This book was so much fun! I loved the characters, which there is plenty to choose from without getting to overwhelmed. The main character is Becs and I just love her. She’s the perfect combination of sass and snark while she tries to deal with all that life is throwing at her. You know the usual things: Mob bosses, warlocks, wee folk, a six-foot fairy, dead birds. HAHAHA!!!

The pacing of the story is perfect and the more trouble Becs got into the more I was hooked. It’s non-stop excitement, that is until it finished, and man was I sorry it ended. Lucky me I already have the second book. I can’t wait to find out what’s in store for Becs next!

4,5*
I received this copy of Demon Kissed with thanks to Netgalley and the publisher Bell Bridge Books. But if my request would have been denied I would have bought it, because I found the synopsis really interesting.

And I can say that I indeed enjoyed it very much! The pace of the story, the main and most side characters, the magic 'system', the (dark) humor, etc. I can't really mention a negative point, or if I indeed read something I questioned at the time (I know there was something, but I can't remember now I finished it..), the rest of the story made up for it 100%. It did take me a few chapters to get into the story, but after that I was glued to it.

Rebecca (Becs) has the rare ability to summon other beings, mostly demons. And when something goes wrong during a summoning for a greedy client you could say there is hell to pay. Trouble arises and overwhelms her from all sides, as if swallowed by an avalanche. But she fights back. And how! I loved how the author made her work and fight for it and not just 'magically' let things be solved. The plotting was fun to read and how it all worked out in the end.

Then there is Ash, our mystery guy. I was glad to see my suspicions confirmed at the end!

My 2 favourite quotes:
"Sounds like you're doing a good job of throwing yourself a pity party." "Well, I'm having a phenomenally bad day, and no one else is throwing me one."

"Oh, no offense, said Valefar." "Offense taken." "That's your choice." Great, Valefar had a therapist.

I was happy to discover that the second book was released a few days ago, so I just bought it and uploaded it to my Kindle.

3.75 stars--DEMON KISSED is the first instalment in J. D. Blackrose’s contemporary adult THE SUMMONER’S MARK paranormal, urban fantasy series focusing on twenty-eight year old, summoner Rebecca Greenblatt.

Told from first person perspective (Rebecca) THE SUMMONER’S MARK follows Rebecca ‘Becs’ Greenblatt as she endeavors to survive what has become her life. At thirteen years of age, a ‘kiss mark’ appeared on Rebecca Greenblatt’s inner left wrist, acknowledging our heroine as a ‘summoner’. Most of Rebecca’s New Testament-following clients want her to summon a specific demon but a summoning gone wrong finds our heroine in a precarious position in which the people she loves have been threatened, a summoning that now places Rebecca owing a favor for a favor owed. As Rebecca tries to stay one step ahead of the Death Magic, a warlock, a demon, and the Greek mob, Rebecca’s sexy new neighbor Ash, is keeping secrets of his own.

Rebecca Greenblatt lives in a magical world of fairies and elves, pixies, gnomes and trolls, angels and demons, witches and warlock, human and other. Every transaction requires a favor, a payment owing for every negotiation and contract; a concession and admission of debt to be paid when the time is called. Mistakes are made, and our heroine, is about to pay the price.

We are introduced to a large ensemble cast of magical, powerful and demonic characters: Pinky the lost Fairy, Joey the half-ghome, restaurant owners Mr & Mrs. Long and their son Kenneth, demon Valefar, a warlock who calls himself ‘Warlock’; Greek mobsters Gregory and Nick Adamos, Perrick the Troll, Krav Maga teacher Oded, as well as Rebecca’s neighbor Asher.

DEMON KISSED is a complex, detailed, intricate and busy introduction to JD Blackrose’s The Summoner’s Mark series. Rebecca Greenblatt is on her own with no ‘teacher’ to show her how to use her powers, powers that may cost our heroine everyone she loves. The premise is intriguing and enchanting; the characters are flawed, lively and spirited; the romance is limited to the sexual tension between Becs and her neighbor Ash…but I did struggle with the numerous times the heroine ‘smells’, stinks, sweats or is otherwise dirty, often referencing her lack of hygiene and over less than cleanliness.

I accidentally requested the second book in this story (long story), and generally I like to read in order, but don’t always, I saw the first and requested it too. This was such a fun book. Becs is a sort of snarky character, and I absolutely loved the side characters which are too numerous to list. TBH, though, Ash, her love interest was my least favorite character in this book. I liked him, but I wasn’t overjoyed. That aside, this was a fun starter book, and I can’t wait to read the next one to find out more about Becs’ past and what’s going on. Highly recommend. I was provided a complimentary copy which I voluntarily reviewed.

Was this review helpful?

First book in a series and this has a unique spin on your typical demon tale.

Becs is a summoner who wants out of the business, but is unable to do so while she has some unpaid debts (both rent and demon related). Her own responsibility in the last summoning she performed tasked her with some demon follow-up that throws her into a complicated web of favors and mixed motivations. Her upstairs neighbor is also oddly helpful, sexy, and way too comfortable with the supernatural.

This story has it all - sizzle, paranormal mayhem, way too many dead birds, and high school mistreatment coming back to haunt them. Did I mention the birds? Yuck. Overall this story introduces a good team of players, lots of loose threads, and some interesting abilities that I'm sure we'll learn more about in book 2. Here's to a rich world building!

Was this review helpful?

Becs is a poorly trained demon summoner not overly familiar with the supernatural world Due to a badly done deal, she has decided to give up summoning. However, circumstances beyond her control make this impossible

This is a well written, nicely plotted urban fantasy. The MC has great instincts as she stumbles through difficult supernatural issues. She is extremely likeable as are the supporting characters. A very enjoyable read.

Thanks to Netgalley and tge publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this ARC. This is my honest review.

Was this review helpful?

A spunky heroine and a whirlwind of a story made Demon Kissed a shamefully good read.
No way around it, there was a lot going on in this Urban Fantasy and I enjoyed every minute of time spent with FMC Rebecca “Becs” Greenblatt gifted with or cursed depending on who you ask with a summoners mark called the Kiss enabling her to summon entities of power including demons.
This opens up so many possibilities and not all of them good ones.
Throw in a handsome MMC next door neighbor, Ash who has a few secrets of his own, mob bosses, Warlocks, Fae and a gambit of other colorful characters and we have the makings of a genuine non-stop, intrigue laden set up for a girl just trying to come to terms with who she is while keeping the family she loves safe from the clutches of the miscreants out to use them for leverage against her.
Throw in some romance and this fast paced well written magical mystery ride was a totally enjoyable read. Bittersweet cliffhanger ending!!!

Was this review helpful?

A great urban fantasy book with a whole cast of unique characters. The author built a unique world, and told a quick paced mystery with many twists and turns. The dialog was snappy and the main character had a good depth and growth throughout the book.

I loved the main different story arcs going through the book and I felt the all tied together with enough room for the books to follow.

Was this review helpful?

This book was so much better than the first… And that ending!!! Part of me thinks this should’ve been the first, but with the info that came from this book, I understand why it wasn’t.

We got more about Asher, we got more about Becs aka Rinka’s past, we just got so much more. The storyline in this book is clear and concise. The action is great, I do wish there was a bit more but I’m not being picky.

The romance is enough to make it a sub-genre and there is a bit of sexy time, I wouldn’t say it’s fade to black but it’s definitely not smutty.

In all, I feel like maybe I should read the first book again. Perhaps I didn’t give it a fair go? Or maybe my mind was too distracted to understand what was going on because with how well Blackrose did with this book I think it was more me than her.

Give this series a go. It has a good story and one that I have not read before. It’s a good change of scenery in the fantasy world.

Was this review helpful?

Demon Kissed is the first book in The Summoner's Mark series, so of course it can be read as a standalone novel.

This book is a really fun story that sort of pits twenty-eight year old, summoner Rebecca Greenblatt.against the world she lives in, which includes all of the best fantasy creatures. There are angels, demons, fairies, witches, gnomes and much more. It is pretty detailed and intricate story, so if you are looking for an easy, mindless read, this one might not be your cup of tea. I personally love an involved story, so this one was one enjoyed reading.

The worldbuilding in Demon Kissed is well done. There is a consistent magic system that involves favors and payment for magical debts owed. The story lines and character development are both nicely done and pleasant to read. The conflict is nice, but there is a lot of it. The heroine just can't get a break and that can be really fun to read. There are a number of characters in this cast, and I wanted to learn more about each one's life.

Thank you Bell Bridge Books and NetGalley for sending me this book in exchange for my honest review.

I am glad that I bed. Becs is a great and a little bit of a snarky and loveable character. The side characters were fun to get to know as well. It was great to just be thrown right into what was going on and feel like I was there while they were making their decisions. I love how the book was paced and it kept me wanting to turn the page to see what was going to happen next. Great start to this series.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to read this eARC for an honest review.

This book is perfect for spooky season. Demons, fairies, warlocks, summoning-sessions, “curses” and creepy feelings.
There are some very funny moments that made me laugh out loud, and other moments that made me feel “ugh”.

I think maybe the ending was a bit rushed, and some parts during the the book was a bit unnecessary long.

I’ll rate this book a 4 star.

This was a new author for me . I never read anything from this author before but for the most part I really liked this book. I thought the whole story was amazing. I honestly didn’t want this book to end. I can’t wait to see what this author comes up with on the next book they write. I usually judge a book from the cover because for me it shows if it’s going to be interesting or not and I loved the book.

Good read! I am fairly new to the sci-fi scene, so the infinite possibilities of character's, and their journeys are exciting and intriguing! This story pulls you in with its quirky personalities and chaos! I will be surprised if you can put this book down! The reading is smooth to the point where you are surprised you have read the whole book! Good thing there are three more in this series that are on my Kindle waiting for me!

I received this book for free and voluntarily reviewed it.
I enjoyed reading the book, although it wasn't a "can't put down" for me. It felt like the main character had several main and side quests and she choose to do the side quests first when the main quest was literally life threatening. In the end it all played out, but I thought the whole time why Becs couldn't get her priorities straight.
All in all it was a solid read. That being said, I wasn't so hooked that I want to read the next book of the series.

I'm a little confused because I now realise I've already read the second book in this series about Bec a young woman who can "summon" but is doing her best not to as Demons and the Fae don't always cooperate. In this the first book Bec gets entangled with a mobster boss, meets a sexy someone who is most certainly not of this world and all whilst trying to dodge a particularly nasty Duke of Hell ! Add in family dilemmas and a Fairy who has forgotten how to shrink back down and you begin to see that Bec has her work cut out for her !
This was fun to read and I actually really liked Bec. She's a little sassy and a whole lot of a genuinely good person. I just wish that I could have perhaps read about how she gave up "summoning" and that this journey doesn't start with what happens next. Perhaps there is a prequel with Nick and the Demon although to be fair it is discussed during this book so the reader isn't completely in the dark. This is not particularly a romance although Bec is very much drawn to Ash who was so obviously not what he appears to be and honestly I wanted to scream at Bec at times but hey ho she truly did have an awful lot to contend with. I enjoyed reading about these characters and the Fae were particularly entertaining and unless I'm very much mistaken a very special King made an appearance so maybe the big O isn't a myth after all !
This voluntary take is of a copy I requested from Netgalley and my thoughts and comments are honest and I believe fair

This book is an urban fantasy that has action and its told from the pov of the protagonist. She is witty,Snarky,loves birds and is Jewish. This gives the main character lots of personality and that's part of what makes this book so enjoyable and entertaining. The writting is well done. Her depiction of the characters and the world building was great. I will be looking for book 2.

"Demon Kissed" by J. D. Blackrose is a thrilling urban fantasy novel that takes readers on a wild ride through a world filled with demons, fae, and other supernatural beings. The story follows Rebecca, also known as Becs, a summoner who can summon entities of power, including demons, through a mark on her wrist called The Kiss. However, after a job gone wrong, she now owes a demon a favor and doesn't know when he will call it in.

The author does an excellent job of creating a complex and intriguing world filled with magical beings and rules that govern their interactions. The characters are well-developed and have unique personalities that make them stand out from one another. Becs is a relatable and likable protagonist, with a strong sense of loyalty and a desire to protect her loved ones.

The plot is full of twists and turns that keep readers on the edge of their seats. The pacing is well-done, with just the right amount of action and suspense to keep readers engaged. The romantic subplot between Becs and her upstairs neighbor, Ash, is also well-executed, adding an extra layer of tension and excitement to the story.

Overall, "Demon Kissed" is an enjoyable and thrilling read that will appeal to fans of urban fantasy and paranormal romance. The well-crafted world-building and characters, along with the fast-paced plot, make for an engaging and satisfying reading experience.

*Big Thanks to J. D. Blackrose, the publisher- Bell Bridge Books, and Netgalley for an ARC of this book. All thoughts and comments are my own.*

I am always on the lookout for new paranormal and fantasy series and authors to read. When I read the blurb about demon marks and summoning beings, I couldn't help myself.

If I have one real weakness, it's snarky main characters. I can't explain it, well, maybe I can. I am a smart-ass through and through. Yup, that about summed it up.

I really enjoyed this book. The world-building and pace kept things interesting. I had the whole, every character is suspect and do we really trust them? Her next-door neighbor, could we, should we trust him? The whole cast of secondary characters at the bar where Becs works were fun and kept the story interesting.

Overall, I was entertained and, yeah, definitely have those hooks sunk in me to read the next in the series.

Was this review helpful?

This book was a solid 3.5 that I'm rounding up to a 4.

The story starts with a fast pace (literally). All I could do was grip my hands tight and hold on for the ride. This carried on for the majority of the book, yet there were points where I still found it hard to pick up and keep reading.

I was intrigued by the concept of book, and Blackrose did a good job world building. It was interesting to come across the different creatures in this world, but the main character did put me off a lot of the time. She called other characters immature when she herself had a lot of immature moments.

The one thing I definitely could've done without was the scene with the dead birds. As a furry animal lover, that scene was a little hard for me to read. Other than that, I'll probably read the second book just to see what's up with the ang- Ash.

Was this review helpful?

Demon Kissed is the first book in a series of five books in the summoners mark series.

Rebecca aka Becs is a summoner of demons, part time bartender and trouble follows werever she goes. She has such a big heart and is super sassy and resiliant.

It was a nice quick read for me, packed with action and just a hint of romance.

All the characters are well rounded and I love the world building. My favorite side character is Pinky a fae from the summer court.

I cant wait to see if Becs grows into her powers, and if we see more about the side characters.

I would reccomend this book to anyone who loves the paranormal.

JD Blackrose did a great job with this story and cant wait to read more from this Author.

I recieved this ARC copy via NetGally but all thoughts, comments and opinions are my own
