Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor

"Daughter of Smoke and Bone" by Laini Taylor, 418

Seventeen year old art student, Karou, has been living a double life. To her human friends, she is mysterious and not easily approached. To the creatures from her drawings, she is family. Karou works for her father-like figure, Brimstone (a horned creature much like a demon), collecting _unusual_ items in exchange for wishes. She doesn't like her job very much (aside from the wishes) and longs for a life free of anything abnormal. Unfortunately for Karou, there is more to her life than even she is aware. Her job of collecting is a very important one with many lives hanging in the balance. When a stranger crosses her path, romance ensues with the struggle between "good and evil" being on the forefront. Who is Karou really and what secrets are being kept from her? What will she do when faced with truth and betrayal by one of her loved ones? Filled with suspense, romance, danger and quite a dose of drama and loss, this book will lead you on an interesting journey through the writer's imagination.
