Filled with heartbreak and beauty, mysteries and secrets, new characters and old favorites, Days of Blood and Starlight brings the richness, color and intensity of the first book to a brand new canvas. 

And here is the teaser she gave:

Once upon a time, an angel and a devil fell in love and dared to imagine a new way of living—one without massacres and torn throats and bonfires of the fallen, without revenants or bastard armies or children ripped from their mothers’ arms to take their turn in the killing and dying. 

Once, the lovers lay entwined in the moon’s secret temple and dreamed of a world that was a like a jewel-box without a jewel—a paradise waiting for them to find it and fill it with their happiness. 

This was not that world.

Book of the Month - February 2012

The winner is...

SYNOPSIS: Around the world, black handprints are appearing on doorways, scorched there by winged strangers who have crept through a slit in the sky. 

In a dark and dusty shop, a devil's supply of human teeth grown dangerously low. 

And in the tangled lanes of Prague, a young art student is about to be caught up in a brutal otherwordly war. 

Meet Karou. She fills her sketchbooks with monsters that may or may not be real; she's prone to disappearing on mysterious "errands"; she speaks many languages—not all of them human; and her bright blue hair actually grows out of her head that color. Who is she? That is the question that haunts her, and she's about to find out. 

When one of the strangers—beautiful, haunted Akiva—fixes his fire-colored eyes on her in an alley in Marrakesh, the result is blood and starlight, secrets unveiled, and a star-crossed love whose roots drink deep of a violent past. But will Karou live to regret learning the truth about herself?

Well, there you have it, but the polls are now up for our March BoTM, so get voting!

Paramount Daughter of Smoke and Bone Movie Intentions

I recently did a post about how paramount is in a bidding war to win daughter of smoke and bone now while this has not yet been finalised it is expected to go through at the moment. It has also been let out that there where wto other major companies taking part in the bidding.
Paramount has said that they wish to turn the movie into a "sprawling effects driven fantasy franchise which can attract a younger audience."
There are no actors, director or writers connected to this movie atm.

Now I have only just started the novel ( a promising start) but from my point of view I think it would suits more hooded seriouse and mysteriouse feel. But who knows maybe they pull it off.

Whats your thoughts on this? How do you think they should make it? Any actors?
