There were such great reviews for this book and I'm a little mixed on it. Good characters and very interesting plot. Another author who uses her supporting characters well. I did really enjoy it, but was a little disappointed by the sexual content at the beginning and towards the end (at least it wasn't descriptive). ...more

On reread: so, I remembered very little of this story from the first time I read this, and I remember even less of the sequels, because I mostly only recalled the premise. (view spoiler) ...more

The world building in this book is awesome. The writing is poetry. So beautiful. I loved Karou, a girl raised by monsters. The romance got a lot hotter and heavier than I expected. And towards the end, I missed the characters from Karou's human life but for the most part the story was mesmerizing. And, of course, it's a trilogy so there's more awesomeness to come. I've just read a string of good YA fantasy novels and this is the best of them. Excellent! ...more

This was my second try at this book. It was a little hard to get into mostly because there are so many crazy names that all start with K and weird descriptions of beasts all at the first of the book. But once I got through a few chapters I was sucked in. It was a fun story about Angels and demonish creatures and of course love. I'll read the next ones but it didn't leave me on such a cliffhanger that I need to pick up the next one right now. ...more

Please don't break my heart. I am on the rebound, having recently separated from a book that just couldn't keep me happy. Let's not "take it slow" and "give things time to develop". I'm ready to take the plunge and dive in head first. I need a book that can hold my interest and excite me. Please don't let me down! ...more

I flew through this and can't wait to read the next in the series. Thought I was over the "angel" romance, but guess not. Lol ...more
