Daughter of Smoke and Bone product reviews

"Once upon a time an angel and a devil fell in love.  It did not end well". That foreword describes the book perfectly.

AROUND THE WORLD, black handprints are appearing on doorways, scorched there by winged strangers who have crept through a slit in the sky.

In a dark and dusty shop, a devil's supply of human teeth has grown dangerously low. And in the tangled lanes of Prague, a young art student is about to be caught up in a brutal otherwordly war.

MEET KAROU. She fills her sketchbooks with monsters that may or may not be real she's prone to disappearing on mysterious errands, she speaks many languages not all of them human and her bright blue hair actually grows out of her head that colour. Who is she? That is the question that haunts her, and she's about to find out.

When one of the strangers, beautiful, haunted Akiva fixes his fire-colored eyes on her in an alley in Marrakesh, the result is blood and starlight, secrets unveiled, and a star-crossed love whose roots drink deep of a violent past. But will Karou live to regret learning the truth about herself?

This book was one of those that is very hard to put down, I would sit up at night just to read more.  I even woke up one morning with it in my hands and the light on.  It is very hard to describe exactly what kind of book it is, there is romance, danger, touches of laughter.  It is set in the present, so it is a world most of us can relate to.  That is until the angels start flying, fighting and falling in love.  I am not going to talk about the doors and the teeth, as you will need to find out about them yourself.

The second book in the series is going to be published later on this year, plus a movie of the first book is in the planning stages.   I cannot say how much I loved this book, it was one where I could here all the characters talk, I could feel their emotions & in my head see what was happening.  Everyone that has read this book has loved it and I know you will as well.
