Book Description
In Strange Angels, Dru Anderson has what her grandmother called “the touch.” (Comes in handy when you’re traveling from town to town with your dad, hunting ghosts, suckers, wulfen, and the occasional zombie.)
Then her dad turns up dead—but still walking—and Dru knows she’s next. Even worse, she’s got two guys hungry for her affections, and they’re not about to let the fiercely independent Dru go it alone. Will Dru discover just how special she really is before coming face-to-fang with whatever—or whoever— is hunting her?
About the Author
Lili Saintcrow was born in New Mexico, bounced around the world as an Air Force brat, and fell in love with writing when she was ten years old. Lili lives in Vancouver, WA with her children, a houseful of cats, and assorted other strays.

Good young adult,

This review is from: Strange Angels (Paperback)
Dru grew up half the time with her grandmother, teaching her spiritual powers and half the time on the road hunting dark things with her dad. Fans of the Supernatural TV show will be pleased with this novel 'cause it brings you in the same dark and dangerous atmosphere. Only Dru came from being the predator and turns out to be the prey when her dad never come back home alive after a hunting day. Dru's mom is long dead, her grandmother passed out to and now her father's dead: She is on her own. Dru has some knowledge of the Real World and she has firearms skills but she's definitely not ready for what's coming next.Along the way Dru meets a goth guy named Graves, he helps her when she hits the bottom and decide to tag along for the long road even thought Dru doesn't want him to: she doesn't want to involve him in her world. Graves becomes the best ally she can get in those unfortunate circumstances. The two of them fight there way to survive everything that's coming to them and meet Christophe, a mysterious guy with fangs. We don't really know if he is friend or foe but he makes things very interesting, and I found myself enjoying this character very much. I wished he came in the story earlier. I would give that book a 7/10, Story is good, characters are believable, the action is great but the story develops a bit slowly for my taste, but the last 30% of the book is awesome. I'll sure pick up the following book "Betrayals", I want to see what's gonna happen next between Dru and the mysterious Christophe.

This review is from: Strange Angels (Paperback)
In anticipation for Reckoning, I decided to read this series again. I'm glad to say that Strange Angels pulled me in the second time just as it did the first. This is a favorite series for me, there really aren't much books that I can say I've read more than once and would enjoy it again and again, but this is one of them.Dru is all alone. Her mother died when she was young, her grandmother when she was 12 and her father came back as a zombie and he's gone now too. Dru has no one and she's all alone. She knows that whatever turned her father into a zombie is after her, why and who she doesn't know. She uncovers things about herself she never knew and finds out that perhaps the "touch" isn't all that doesn't make her ordinary. The only problem I have with this book is how slow paced it is, and I mean really slow paced, there are parts that we have no need for and things we could have skipped. But despite that I found myself brimming with excitement as I flipped through the pages. What I loved about this series is that Dru knew from the beginning about the supernatural creatures - she and her father had hunted them together (really reminds of the TV series Supernatural), she calls it the real word where things go bump in the night. There are few characters in the book. We meet Graves from the beginning and I can't spoil but one thing leads to another and he ends up sticking close to Dru. Graves was realistic. For someone thrown into a world he never knew existed he took it calmly but he was still shocked and scared as hell. Relating to him was easy. Christophe appears later on, he's a dhampir - a half human half vampire. We don't know much about him, he's real a mystery. He was a stark contrast against Graves and I enjoyed all the scenes he was in. Dru was a kick butt heroine - she was a tough girl. Even when we saw all her sadness and fear from her point of view it still didn't ruin her personality. She reminds me a lot of Rose from Vampire Academy. There are hints of romance between Dru and Graves and even Dru and Christophe. And that's all they are, hints - I mean come on, she's really only known them for as little as a week. Well the romance develops more later in the series, the plot thickens and the series keeps getting better and better. Take it from me - I already read this series. So do I recommend the Strange Angels series? Well, that's a definite YES!
