Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor
One of the aides in the library recommended this; one of the librarians didn't like it, and didn't finish. I gave it a shot, and it was pretty good.
Our heroine is Karou. She was raised by chimaeras. She's lived all over the world, and she runs errands for them. These errands usually involve retrieving teeth for Brimstone, the head guy. All over the world, the doors that Karou uses to get to her family have been marked and closed, and Karou can't get to them. The doors are marked and closed by seraphs, the enemy of the chimaera. One such seraph is Akiva. Akiva once loved a chimaera named Madrigal. He lost Madrigal. In Prague, he finds Karou, who reminds him of Madrigal. Akiva helps Karou find out who she is, as she is not a chimaera.
Apparently, there is a sequel.
