Spoiler Alert: STRANGE ANGELS is not about Angels.
Oh man. Dru Anderson has got problems. Lots of them. And from the opening line, we are smack-dab in the middle of them. STRANGE ANGELS is the kind of book that you can’t put down. You don’t even want to. You want to finish it, need to and when it’s over, you want more. Dru travels from town to town with her dad (whom we never meet by the way, well we do and by that time, he’s a rather stinky, flesh dragging fellow), hunting the things that most of us are afraid to even mention. But something goes wrong-dead wrong and a zombie busts into her new house. Sucks to be Dru Anderson. Lucky for Dru, she was trained by the best, her dad. And, she’s not alone. A new friend, who just happens to be part werwulf and a partly strange blue-eyed boy who seems to know more about her than she knows about herself show up completing her posse. Page after page the story unfolds with twists and turns that are fun, exciting and believable. Dru is kick ass and strong–maybe even too strong for some as she swigs alcohol to ease her woes. But even in strength she is personable, likeable and at times even vulnerable. Humor, action, monsters and lots of teenage angst–STRANGE ANGELS does not disappoint. St. Crow leaves the ending open for the next book and though I would have liked to have seen a little more closure to this book; I’m really looking forward to BETRAYALS, the next book in the series.
Parental warning: teenage drinking, cursing and cigarette smoking.

ABOUT STRANGE ANGELS
Dru Anderson has been “strange” for as long as she can remember. She travels from town to town with her father, hunting the things that go bump in the night and eat the unwary. It’s a weird life, but a good one–until it all explodes and a zombie busts into her new house.
Alone, terrified, and trapped in an icy town, Dru’s going to need every inch of her wit and training to stay alive. Can she trust the boy who is just a little too adult–and just happens to get bit by a werwulf? Or the strange blue-eyed boy who tells her she’s heir to a long-forgotten power? Can she even trust her own instincts?
Because Dru is not the first in her family to be killed by the darkness of the Real World. The monsters have decided to hunt back–and now Dru has to figure out who to trust, who to fight, and when to run. And not incidentally, she has to figure out how she’s going to get out of this alive.
And she has to do it by sundown, or it’s all over…
