Daughter of Smoke & Bone
by Laini Taylor
Our rating
Spice: barely any. Darkness: dark.
Karou is a blue-haired art student in Prague whose foster father is a monster, literally, and whose errands go through doors that open anywhere. Then an angel shows up and the doors start burning. The back half turns into a long flashback, and that's where the heartbreak is.
