March's Paranormal Group Read - Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor

[Brittany]

Please join us this month in reading our Paranormal Group Read, Daughter of Smoke & Bone by Laini Taylor!



Synopsis: 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 beautiful, haunted Akiva fixes fiery 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?

You don't have to participate in the Group Read - it's entirely up to you, but if you read the book along with us or have already read it, we would love to hear your comments, questions, thoughts, etc. That's what makes the Group Read fun! Please keep from posting too many spoilers early in the month, though, as people might still be reading it. If you feel that you might "spoil" a part of the book by commenting, be sure to put something like "***Spoiler Alert***" or something to let others know to read at their own risk! And make sure to have fun!

I'm still not entirely sure what I thought of the book, but for the past few days I have been muttering random DoS&b references (to which I get weird stares because who in the heck is Brimstone?), which says something as I rarely do that.

I loved this book. It has a colorful world with lots of legends and creatures and the plot is amazing!

I read this book awhile back. I liked it up until the love interest had a more frequent role in the book, I feel as if it kinda starting going downhill from there(for me anyways).
