Hands down, one of the best books I have ever read. Don't let the crappy cover and description deter you. Laini Taylor has a way of completely transporting you into the two worlds in which Karou is living in. Karou is a strong unique heroine.
Raised by demonic creatures, she has blue hair that grows out of her head and when she is not studying at her art or hanging out with her best friend, Zuzana, she is slipping through portals around the city collecting teeth. A dirty business but someone's got to do it. The girl who does not know who she really is stumbles upon a Akiva, not really a man but something so much more to Karou than she knows and it is then that begins the catalyst of events.
This is not your typical star crossed lovers story. This story lingers with you far after you are done reading it. The worlds that Ms. Taylor has created is truly brilliant and as you discover Karou's mysteries with her, you can't help but become invested in and falling deeper into the story. You discover a love stronger than Romeo and Juliet's and world far more enthralling and frightening that Narnia. I adore this book and covet it in a way where I won't lend it out to anyone in fear of it never being returned. This is one the best books I've read this year and would recommend to anyone.
