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 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 is a book that's harder to get into, but once your in your in. For some reason I skipped about 60 pages. Yes I know 60 is quite a lot. In my defense nothing was making sense and I couldn't take the suspense of not knowing what Karou was. So I did what any person would do (okay maybe just me), I put my bookmark in a random spot to hold it then when I was finished with the part I was at I read the page where my bookmark was. Then from that part I was hooked. So this rating is based on what I did read!
P.R. This is just a pic. I found on deviantart...
