I read this book earlier during the summer and have been meaning to recommend it.. It's an urban fantasy about a seventeen-year-old blue-haired girl named Karou who leads a dual life in dual worlds and doesn't really know who she is. The only "family" she has ever known are demon-like creatures who she helps collect teeth for reasons unknown to her. When not collecting teeth she spends time with her only friend and attends art school. Her life comes to a complete halt when she and a warrior angel trying to put an end to the teeth trade and the creatures who traffic them cross paths. Even though the angel should kill her, he cannot bring himself to do it for reasons he cannot understand at first but become clearer to him as the story unfolds. What follows is a fascinating tale of forbidden love in a stunningly imaginative world.
