Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Lips Touch was unquestionably the best fantasy I've read in years. I was blown away by the darkness, romance, and pure beauty. The language is GORGEOUS and calls to mind so many talented writers -- Neil Gaiman, Kelly Link, Angela Carter, Margo Lanagan -- while still being absolutely unique and original. I can't even choose a favorite of the three (romantic creepy weird exotic magical) stories, because they compliment each other brilliantly and are all perfect in their own way. (Perfect. Yes. I said it.) Jim Di Bartolo's illustrations, as always, are the ideal compliment. They have the same sumptuousness, the same edge. I wanted to lose myself in these worlds.
The book's editor was the amazing Arthur Levine, of Harry Potter and His Dark Materials fame. Her editor clearly knows a fantastic book when he sees one. I won't be surprised when Lips Touch begins winning awards. I couldn't put it down, and I never wanted to end.
I'd recommend this to both teen and adults -- anyone who swoons at a kiss, anyone who likes their romance with a slice of the dark side. Unforgettable.

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?
