Synopsis:
Three tales of supernatural love, each pivoting on a kiss that is no mere kiss, but an action with profound consequences for the kissers' souls:
Goblin Fruit
In Victorian times, goblin men had only to offer young girls sumptuous fruits to tempt them to sell their souls. But what does it take to tempt today's savvy girls?
Spicy Little Curses
A demon and the ambassador to Hell tussle over the soul of a beautiful English girl in India. Matters become complicated when she falls in love and decides to test her curse.
Hatchling
Six days before Esme's fourteenth birthday, her left eye turns from brown to blue. She little suspects what the change heralds, but her small safe life begins to unravel at once. What does the beautiful, fanged man want with her, and how is her fate connected to a mysterious race of demons?
Book Beginning:
There is a certain kind of girl the goblins crave.
Friday 56:
"Why?" asked Esme, looking at her dirty fingers. She found the sensation of the ashes unpleasant.

Q: Have you ever read a book that was suggested by another blogger?
A: That's where I get about half my want-to-read books from, is what other bloggers suggest.

ReplyDeleteI've heard of Lips Touch, but I haven't read it. I have read some of Laini Taylor's other books, and from the description this one seems just as interesting as the others. I also like the quotes.
ReplyDeleteSounds very interesting! I may have to add this one to my TBR list. Thanks for sharing!
