Just WOW!

Holy Crap, Taylor can WRITE! Some books I read because I like the premise, some because I like the authors voice. And occasionally, (when I get really lucky) because I just cant put it down.

I seldom read YA, but this one grabbed me from the start and would not let go. Tightly plotted, expertly staged; (and I shudder to say this) almost lyrically written, Daughter of Smoke and Bone defies description. Part mystery: part love story: part urban fantasy romp and a whole lot of fun.

Im not going to spoil the things for you by setting up the story. If you like good paranormal stories just go get this book. You wont be disappointed. Its exciting, funny, unexpected, heart wrenching. And just when you think you know whats whatyou dont.
