Karou lives in Prague, studies art, and tries to fit in to the world as we know it. She knows she's not normal, though. Her hair is blue, she speaks 17 languages, and her family isn't human. They're chimaerae, otherworldly creatures that some might describe as demons. Brimstone, her father figure, sends her on magical errands to collect teeth, but she has no idea why--she just does as she's told. She's happy with the way things are until an encounter with Akiva, an angel, who is so handsome it almost hurts to look at him. When he tries to kill her, she begins to ask questions about her past that Brimstone wishes would remain a mystery.
You almost feel like you're in a dream when you read this book. The language is beautiful, the romance is steamy, and the story is edge-of-your-seat adventure. I want to BE Karou. Would wouldn't want blue hair?
