Devil’s Kiss by Sarwat Chadda has been optioned by Gaumont Films. Devil’s Kiss is the first of two novels about Billi SanGreal, the only female Knights Templar.
While the covers may lead the reader to think they are paranormal romances the stories are more tales of horror steeped in folk lore. Billi SanGreal is a fierce heroine trying to survive in the world of the Knights Templar in modern day London. She fights against the super-natural powers that threaten society while longing to be a normal teenage girl. The story is appealing to all kinds of readers and is a fast paced read with interesting twists.
With Beatrice and Gale championing Billi the books have now been optioned by Gaumont Pictures. There’s talk of a Billi SanGreal tv series, which is insanely cool because now Buffy’s retired we need a new kick-ass vampire/demon/werewolf-slaying heroine, don’t we? I’ll keep you totally informed should such an event happen but, hey, a trip out to Hollywood is nice and there’s always the next book.
Do you think Billi SanGreal has the potential to be the next Buffy?
