Dante's Kiss


Book Description

DANTE'S KISS: a supernatural love story about temptation and desire, the fragility of being human, and the challenges of being young in the Hispanic Caribbean. Please Note: There are two versions of this cover. The content is identical, as follows: It's hard to be sixteen, almost anywhere, but it's even more difficult to be a sixteen-year-old-three-quarter angel when the one quarter human side kicks in--especially when that humanity comes to life in Puerto Rico. When Kiriela and her almost-boyfriend cause chaos in heaven, she is forced to live in exile with her parents in Puerto Rico. But because she is not fully immortal, Kiriela's father is overprotective. Fearing that she won't be strong enough to fight against the forces of evil that follow their family, Kiriela's father keeps her in a protective bubble. But when they move to Puerto Rico, he loses control over her. Finding her feuding parents too occupied with their own problems to deal with hers, Kiriela slips out from under her father's radar and finds the freedom she craves. But what this young angel does not understand when she falls for a human boy named Dante is that when the supernatural collides with the natural world, something as simple as a kiss is not as simple as it seems.
