Another angel/devil paranormal romance. Interesting twist is that the demons are the protagonists, so that makes for a nice read. Don't rush out for it, but don't pass it over if your "to be read" pile starts getting short.

Loved it. Original.
AMAZING. Karou, a blue-haired art student living in Prague, has a mysterious second life she can't tell her friends about, running errands for her adopted family, who might be literal monsters. Her mysterious past resurfaces and causes her to question everything. I loved the globetrotting characters and rich descriptions of Prague and Marrakech, as well as the monsters and the angels, the intertwined mysteries, everything. Read it in one sitting. YA fiction at its finest.
