Add it on Goodreads
In a dark and dusty shop, a devil’s supply of human teeth grown dangerously low.
And in the tangled lanes of Prague, a young art student is about to be caught up in a brutal otherworldly 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 color. 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?
I absolutely loved Laini Taylor’s Lips Touch: Three Times (review soon!) so I’m excited to see what she does with this one. I know it’ll be unlike anything else in the genre. Plus, how crazy awesome is that cover? I absolutely love it.
What are you waiting on? Link up and I’ll be sure to stop by!
About Stephanie
I’ve never read anything by this author myself but I’ve heard that the MC is a Lisbeth Salander type character so that’s got me super excited!
I AM DYING TO READ THIS!! I haven’t read Lips Touch but I have been reading all the little teasers and snippets from others reading it and some of the quotes from this novel are just so amazing, so beautiful. I can tell I’ll love her writing already. I’m supposed to be getting a copy but it hasn’t come yet… please come!!
This sounds like it would be a good one! I’m really looking forward to reading it too! Great pick!
