DAUGHTER OF SMOKE AND BONE
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 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 color. Who is she? That is the question that haunts her, and she’s about to find out.
When beautiful, haunted Akiva fixes fiery 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?
Ahhh, am I bad person if I say I really hate these covers? I know, I know, I am. I mean, I love the mask, but it just seems...too obviously photo shopped. I do love the UK covers though (like I should, though I do admit, most UK covers are pretty ugh, but I do actually prefer that one for once). I've heard a lot about the writing, and don't you just love ones that really captivate you, even when it's not beautiful (though it does sound like the writing is in this). I'll have to start it as soon as I can now the series is finished, but glad you enjoyed it! :)
