What an interesting first book in a trilogy. It really pulled me in and made me want more.
Karou is an unusual girl. She has bright blue hair that grows that way. She is an art student with sketchbooks full of monsters. All her friends enjoy her stories about these monsters, thinking them just fiction. Except they're not. These monsters are real and the only family that Karou has.
The only life that Karou has known has been with Brimstone, her father for all intents and purposes. As she grew up, she began helping him with his business, even though she really does not understand what he does. All she knows is that she runs errands, meets with some rather unsavory characters, and collects teeth from Brimstone to work with.
While on one of these errands, she notices a hand-print burned into the doorway back to Brimstone's shop. Then it shows up again on another door. In Marrakesh, she comes face to face with Akiva, an angel. They come to blows, but what comes next is unexpected.
Karou and Akiva began a romance that can not be. But Karou's past, the void she has always felt in her life, lies with this angel and with Brimstone. But will Karou be able to handle the secret that has been kept from her for her whole life?
I really did enjoy this book. It ended with a teaser that made me want to read the next book.
