Strange Angels is the first book in Lili St. Crow's gripping series. The second book; Betrayals, is set to come out in November of 2009.
Strange Angels is a brilliantly written book aobut Dru Anderson, who is a sixteen-year-old girl who's father is a demon hunter. When he doesn't come home alive one night, Dru flees.
It seems that everyone she meets she drags into her world of chaos and death, including her new friend Graves, who is part wulf. Which is once again her fault.
The blurb reads -
Dad? Zombie
Mum? Long gone.
Me? Well, that's the scary part.
The Real World is a frightening place. Just ask sixteen-year-old orphan Dru Anderson, a tough girl wh ohas taken down her fair share of bad guys. She's armed, dangerous, and ready to kill first and ask questions later. So it's gonna take her a while to figure out who she can trust...
Dru Anderson has been 'strange' for as long as she can remember, traveling from town to town with her father to hunt the things that go bump in the night. It's a weird life, but a good one - until it all explodes in an icy, broken-down Dakota town, when a hungry zombie busts through her kitchen door. Alone, terrified and trapped, Drus going to need every ince of her wit and training to stay alive. The monsters have decided to hunt back - and this time, Dru's on their menu. Chances of survival? Slim to none.
If she can't last until sunup, its game over.
Set in Dakota, America of present day, Crow has done a brilliant job of capturing this intricate story line, along with typical teenage insecurities.
Strange Angels is brilliantly written, however if you're not a fan of horror/adventure/action novels, it may loose some of it's interest.
