The space between, by Brenna Yovanoff

Daphne has grown up in Hell - literally Hell - a city where heat burns away everything not made of  chrome and steel.  The daughter of a demon and a fallen angel, Daphne wonders what her future will be.  Her sisters are soulless demons.  Her brother Obie is a missionary of sorts on Earth, saving lost souls.  Then Obie drops in with a boy from Earth who is on the brink of death, and the boy,Truman,  forges a bond with Daphne.  When he returns to Earth, Daphne follows and finds herself an innocent demon in a strange and complicated (and cold) world.  Obie is missing, and as she and Truman search for him, she learns what it means to love and be human.

Another strange, quirky,  and wonderful story from an always surprising author.  The replacement may still be my favorite, but this one is well worth reading as well.
