I don't really know where to start with this story (novella? Not really sure what to call it). I came across it after reading Daughter of Smoke and Bone, and Days of Blood and Starlight, both of which I adored. The first thing to say is that Goblin Fruit is the only thing I have read on my kindle that I have actually highlighted parts of, so that I can go back and read them instantly whenever I want. I read a lot, and often don't take the time to appreciate the craft thats gone into creating a...more
Review Taken From The Pewter Wolf
Kizzy wants it all. To look prettier. To be girlfriend of the hot guy in school. To not be involved in her weird family. She wants it all so badly, half her soul is hanging out of her. And this drives goblins crazy. They feed on souls and they want Kizzy's if she's not careful...
Laini's writing style is different in Goblin Fruit compared to Daughter of Smoke and Bone. Yes, I know it's because she wrote Goblin Fruit before she wrote Daughter of Smoke and Bone as I...more

Not bad but a bit short. And I'm not a great fan of the no real resolution, let the audience make up their own mind ending. Far too many of them on the GCSE syllabus, I teach it all day I want a break when I read. Still the writing was as good as ever.
By far my favorite of the Lips Touch stories. Read it.
Wow, what an amazing story! I've truly loved it.

Hi there! I'm a writer of fantasy books for young people, but my books can be enjoyed by adults as well. My 'Dreamdark' books, Blackbringer (2007) and Silksinger (2009) are about faeries -- not dainty little flowery things, but warrior-faeries who battle devils. My first young adult book, Lips Touch, is a finalist for the 2009 National Book Award! It's creepy, sensual supernatural romance. . . abo...more
