Daughter of Smoke and Bone Review

I would like to start off this review by saying that I really didn't want to read this book. The people who decided on the back of the book description did a crappy job explaining this story in an interesting way. Now that I have read it, the back looks good, but from a fresh perspective, it fell flat. If it weren't a Vine book, given to me for free, I would have never picked it out among the thousands of books out there. I am so glad I gave it a try.
This complex story is about a girl who has no idea of who she really is. Her life has been filled with creatures that would cause terror to most but have been family to her. Karou is a strong, talented seventeen year old who helps her "family" of demon like characters collect teeth. The teeth have a use, but Karou has never found out what exactly. She just goes to designated sights through portal doors to collect the teeth and then goes back to her private art school and her one friend. Her lonely life is interrupted by the sight of an angel who is trying to put a stop to the teeth trade and the creatures who traffic them. Even though he should destroy Karou ,he can not bring himself to kill her due to her similarities to his long lost love. What follows is an intriguing tale of forbidden love in a lush, imaginative world.
I know, I know, collecting teeth sounds so...weird. I promise that the author pulls this off and then some. I struggled with what to say without giving too much away, but I wanted to tell more than the back cover. Karou is an interesting heroine who is beautiful, exotic, and real all at the same time. The world building is really the star of this novel. Everything is different than anything I have read. Yes, it has angels in it, but the author still makes everything fresh.
On a different note, I would not recommend this book to younger teens. Not only is it a little more complex, there is sex and sexual situations. I would say sixteen and up as an absolute minimum in age requirement. As an adult, this is one of those YA books that transfers just fine.
Overall, I really liked this book, and I will be looking for the sequel to help ease the cliffhanger ending.

Daughter of Smoke and Bone Overview

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?

Grey Eyes (Book One, The Forever Trilogy) Review

Grey Eyes was an amazing story that put me under a spell. I found myself reading much later into the night than I meant to. Ana was a heroine who had spirit. The love triangle rivals Edward, Jacob, and Bella. I can't wait for the next book.
The only negative about the story was a very bad editing job. Several times it was difficult to decipher the true meaning of a passage due to missing words or words that were misplaced. There were also some formatting issues, but these are easily overlooked. The lack of good editing however really took away from the story.

Shattered (Dream Realms Trilogy, #1) Review

This book had both its high points and its low points. I loved the concept of the dream world and am sad that we didn't get to see more than a tiny glimpse of this intriguing place. I liked the style of writing and the length of the book.
However, from the vampires to the elders to the gray Volvo, this book screams Twilight knockoff. I also rolled my eyes when Laura ran off with Logan without a second thought, even though she barely knew him.
Overall, I enjoyed parts of this book. I just wish that the characters were given more depth and that the plot was more original. It did not leave me screaming for a sequel, unfortunately.
