A Thousand Steps into Night by Traci Chee

4.0

A demon kissed girl, an adventure of a lifetime, gods and monsters, and finding her place in the world. Miuko has never fit in, she has always been a bit too much for everyone but she has been content to just be living with her father and taking care of their inn. One day she is kissed by a demon and finds herself taking on a curse to become the Lady of Death... and then she begins to run into other demons and monsters. She is thrust upon a new journey to stop the demon king, reverse her curse, and survive long enough to get her life back. Joining her for her journey is a thieving magpie spirit and a demon prince who is obsessed with her. Miuko will have to outsmart trickers, escape demon hunters, make deals with gods all to find a way home again. This was such a fun story to read! It is one girl’s journey of discovering not only what she wants for herself but the being given the freedom she has never had before. It was filled with magic and adventure and just an all around great read!
