    About this audiobook

    Lili St. Crow won accolades and an impressive readership for her Dante Valentine series. With Strange Angels, St. Crow pens a YA tale sure to raise hackles and wake the dead. Dru Anderson is a very special girl- even if she doesn't always feel it. Gifted with "the touch," Dru travels about with her dad, hunting all manner of things that go bump in the night. But then her dad turns up dead-or, er, undead-and everything changes.

      ... a surprise of a book. romance, intrigue, mystery and ranching??
    • 4/5
      it's not far off from Supernatural fanfic. not in a bad way, mind, just in a "this all seems kinda familiar" way. main character is a girl whose father is a "hunter" of things that go bump. Something befalls him, she feels responsible, and suddenly has a whole lot of new problems--revenge, survival, friends--to handle. I don't really mind the similarities though, as the book was good and fun anyways.
    • 4/5
      Ok yeah, I admit it. This is a YA paranormal book about a girl, a vampire guy, and a werewolf guy. But...its also a book about a grumpy psychic, a homeless math geek, and a overdramic teenager who smells like pie. So I guess Ill allow it. If you have to narrow it down to a one sentence description like that first bit it sounds pretty typical but it didnt feel that way reading it. I found the pacing to be a bit slow sometimes, but the story is intriguing and often genuinely creepy as well. There is a lot of emotional stuff happening, but not much in the romance department, and the friendship between the main character (Dru) and her friend Graves is kinda awkward at first but also very easy to get invested in. I was bothered by the way the book sometimes described Graves though. Come on Lili St. Crow, using terms like "half breed" and "slit eyed" when talking about your Asian character? I dont know what the intention was but it comes across pretty badly. Questionable physical descriptions aside, I really liked all the main characters. Theres bits of tropes in there but overall they felt original and interesting. Some of the things in the book were a little silly (pie guys hair for example) but I just found them kinda funny, not annoying.

      PS. I know its the publishers fault not the story's but I hate this book cover. Dru isnt a model, shes a traumatized teenager who wears a winter coat like 80% of the time and neglects her personal hygiene when she gets depressed.

      Strange Angels(Strange Angels #1)by Lili St. CrowWow! This book has a chokehold on me and would not let me beathe! Fast paced, insanely good world building, believable characters, dialogue between characters often sprinkled with humor and tears, heart pounding suspense, situations no sane person should ever have to be in, and I loved all anxiety induced moments!Our gal and her dad are hunters, but they don't hunt what the Real world knows about. They hunt the nightmares. But dad doesn't come home. This is our gal's story that takes us into their world, buckle up! It is full of things unseen, things with teeth, and things that hunt back! This book is going in my favorite folder.

      Bruno investigates a suspected truffle fraud in a neighbouring village and finds himself dragged into a gang war between Chinese and Vietnamese. In addition a local Green restaurant owner threatens Bruno's comfortable relationship with his Mayor but standing as mayor and catching the eye of Bruno's sometime girlfriend Pamela. As always the plot is steeped in the intracacies of rural French politics and life, whilst recognising the echos from France's colonial past in Vietnam and Algeria. Highly recommended.
    • 4/5
      I would never have picked this book up if I hadn't already read some of Lilith St. Crow's other novels, primarily because the cover is atrocious. Every time I pick my copy up, or even look at it, I want to scoff. I mean, "heartbreaker"? Really? That's not the main character at all. There isn't any more than a hint of romance in the first book, even.

      Cringe-worthy cover aside, I always enjoy reading "Strange Angels." The first time I read it, I thought the title was a little... well, strange, but it has grown on me. (Mostly because Dru's self-appointed protector isn't her only offbeat guardian angel.)

      My favorite part about this book is and always will be the main character. The story is told in first person POV, so we get right into her head from the very start. She's a tough kid, and I can't help but admire her for that, but she's also still just a kid, and I both love and respect her for that. It makes me sympathize with her every step of the way, and even put myself in her shoes--I caught myself thinking the other day how messed up I'd be if someone turned my own father into a zombie (I know, I know. lol.), and how impressive it is that she isn't more messed up.

      My other favorite part about this book is her relationship with Graves. He's fantastic, too, because he's real and messed up like she is but also coping as well as he can, just like she is.

      I'm not so crazy about Christophe, though. He comes off as pretentious and underdeveloped as a character, and yet he's so central to Dru's struggles throughout the series.

      Anyway, ignore the annoying cover. For a first venture into the realm of YA novels, Lili St. Crow has done a pretty frigging fantastic job of navigating her way to a great book.
    • 3/5
      Strange Angels had elements from the scripts of Supernatural and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It's a fairly fast paced story in which Dru Anderson,who has what her Grandmother called "The Touch", and her dad travel from town to town hunting Ghosts, Suckers (Vampires), Wulfen (Werewolf), an occassional Zombie and otherworldly things that go bump in the night. Then her dad turns up dead and worse yet, comes back as a Zombie that tries to kill her. If it weren't for the help of her two friends, she wouldn't have survived(why her dad left her alone to fend for herself while he runs off to get himself killed is beyond me.). Anyway, Dru first meets her friend Graves, a half Asian goth boy who kicks butt as the story evolves and Christophe, a djamphir (thr progeny of a human female and a vampire)and member of the Chosen,(who smells like Apple Pie.) We come to find out exactly what Dru really is as she's rescued from the Vampire, Sergej by the Chosen who are going to whisk Dru away for further training in future stories in the series. I did enjoy the story. Jack Murphy

      This was an interesting read. Dru is a great character as is Graves. Dru's father is killed by a vampire and turned into a zombie. Her and her father have been traveling the country exterminating paranormal bad guys. Since she has never been in one place for long, she doesn't really know anyone or have any friends in the area. Graves, a school mate takes interest in her. He is also now alone in the world. Dru and Graves have an adventure in which they both become more then they ever imagined and barely escape with their lives. Now they are off to a school for people like them, not human. I don't really know why I liked this book, I just did. Hopefully the next one will be good too.
    • 4/5
      All right, i've wanted to read this ever since i saw it at the bookstore, and it was good. But had a lot of pros and cons...
      So, i'll start with the cons.. or well, i'll do both at once... It was very fast paced but at times... too much.. it was like 'oh look.. something else came crashing through the door... how shocking....'
      The other thing i had a problem with was that the dialogue consisted of 'Holy shit' & 'Jesus'....
      ...
      A little bit too much...
      Those were really the only things i had issues with however, i really did like the book.
      I noticed in the acknowledgments she had a lot to say to Richelle Mead (who's books i adore ;) and honestly i was getting major hints of Mead's Vampire Academy. So that was pretty cool as she did her own twist on the vampires thing.
      And about the dialogue, that might be a bit harsh, i mean, it wasn't awkward or stiff, it was actually really well done!! I just could have done without that much language on every page... i mean... if i want to read that every other sentence then i can read a Marla Mason book... i just like my YA books to a tiny bit less profane...
      oh gosh now i sound like a prude.... what i'm trying to say is that..... *sigh* do you get my point? or am i being completely incoherent?
      All right, back on topic, back to what made this book actually amazing.
      Dru. A hard, edgy character, but lovable too because she's not rock hard and untouchable. I really liked her personality.
      Graves. He was awesome... though i think too much time was spent on how he was 'potentially' good looking. He was a very sweet, loyal character though...
      Christophe.... ok... i like him better than Graves... i know, i know... he reminded me a little bit of Jace from City of Bones.... i like those bang out of nowhere sexy characters xD
      So this was a good, fast paced urban fantasy about a girl who's told essentially nothing about herself and her family. I really did enjoy it. I look forward to the next ;)
      7/10 stars
    • 4/5
      I enjoyed this book so, so much. Dru's character is just the right mix of vulnerable and warrior to make her believable as a teen who has been trained in combat and action from a young age but always worked with her dad as a safety net.

      The characters were fully drawn and completely believable, and although some reviewers thought that Dru was too whiny (what? Did we read the same book? My whininess meter read at 0, btw.), I actually wondered for a while if she was showing enough emotion. I mean, here we have a teen whose last living family member, a fully trained and highly successful hunter of creepy things, has just been killed and turned into a zombie by something that's coming for her and she had to shoot her dad dead.

      That's a pretty good excuse for some angst, yo. And yet, the angst level is really, really low, in my opinion at least. I also greatly enjoyed the character of Graves, and although the plot moved fast and with impeccable pacing, we are still left with ample time to spend with the characters, some of whom are not even really in the story (like Dru's dad, her grandmother, etc.) The world was so fully developed that it simply slipped a new layer over our own, familiar world and there was not a single time in this book that I was left unconvinced or doubting.

      There were some minor flaws (pretty predictable plot, uhm, I think that's it), but this book was so much fun to read, so gripping and enjoyable that I read well into the night and also while I should have been doing other things (*cough* blogging, spawnwrangling, working *cough*). I was left drooling for more (but no cliffhanger ending, YAY) and highly satisfied.

      Who would like this book? I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes paranormal fiction, Urban Fantasy, and/or a ton of heart-racing action.
    • 3/5
      I think I may have hit supernatural burnout. I still liked it, and I will probably read then next in the series, but it's time for some detox.
    • 5/5
      Way better than the cover led me to believe. I mean, "Night Hunter. Knife Thrower. Heart Breaker." What the crap? Did the publisher even read the book?Anyway. Good stuff. Dru's not the typical urban fantasy teen heroine, which I really appreciated. She's genuinely snarky and quite realistic. Sometimes the repetition of her tears and injuries gets a little old, but at the same time it kind of works.Graves is very cool. It's cool how he toughened up a bit, but he also lost some of his personality that I liked so much at the beginning. I think Dru noticed this too, though, so maybe it was on purpose. Still, it makes me sad.I really like the world. It's very Supernatural with Hunters and non-stereotypical names for things such as werwulfen and suckers. That's one thing that makes Dru so cool, her having "the Touch." The icy and snow landscape made it even creepier.One of the major downsides was the plot. It just got predictable. Once Christophe showed up and started spouting cryptic things, I just kind of got a feeling, and then that feeling turned out to be truth. I was so pleasantly surprised at the originality and descriptive writing and world that once the story got predictable it was just a real disappointment.And why is everyone a teenager?But I must say that Lili St. Crow has some amazing sensory detail. Dru is always tasting things with perfect specificity, such as wax oranges and salt. Smelling things like pumpkin pie. It makes everything seem so real and interesting.I honestly won't be 100% sold on the book until I've finished the series. It just seems very incomplete.
    • 3/5
      Not bad, not wonderful. As usual, Lili/Lilith writes wonderfully - it's very solid, with enough description to pull me fully into that world. And as usual, she beats up on her heroine terribly, and makes us feel that too - Dru tweaks her back in her first encounter, and feels/mentions her aches (those among others) constantly thereafter. I did have a little problem with her reaction to the critters - in the first couple of chapters, she's represented as having helped her father for years; each time she encounters something strange, though, she's screaming and running away. While still trying to ambush and shoot it, admittedly, and her reaction might be partly shock from the first encounter, but still. Graves makes a lot more sense, he _is_ dealing with an entirely new worldview. Another aspect of Lilith's "broken" heroines - Dru is not thinking clearly, and frequently doesn't notice that she's not thinking clearly until she's forced to it. Which makes her a very frustrating narrator, for me at least. Again, understandable, and realistic, but it makes the book less interesting to read if I'm constantly being frustrated - a form of untrustworthy narrator, a trope I hate. So. Glad I read it, if I come across the next book I'll probably read that too, but I won't seek it out. Like her straight urban fantasy (Valentine and Dante), she beats up on her heroines too much to interest me. I'll stick to the romances - where she still beats up on them, but they tend to end on a more hopeful/happy note.

      3.5 stars.

      It got more exciting near the end.
    • 4/5
      Not exactly what I expected from the descriptions and reviews, but a lot of fun nonetheless. I thought Dru was going to be more like Faith from the Buffy the Vampire tv series, but instead she spent most of her time confused about what was going on. Strong and capable, but very confused and scared. This was a quick read and will be popular with fans of supernatural stories. As seems to be happening often lately though, it's a first book that's pretty much all setup. While the setup was interesting, I'll be looking forward to getting more meat on the story in the second volume.
    • 4/5
      Interesting to hook me in though I thought it started a little slow. I am now in the middle of book 4 in the series. My one complaint is that other than Dru I think the male characters are pretty soft and not necessarily people I care about.
    • 2/5
      I wanted to like this book, I really did. Sadly, it didn’t impress me at all. I was expecting more from it. The story started out pretty slow. Noting pretty much happened until around page 40. The characters left a really bad impression too. Both Dru & Graves were annoying at the beginning. After about 100 pages, the story got really good and the characters started to mature. Then, it got boring again. The book had a weird pace. There were boring moments, then lots of action, and it went on and on. So after some action, the story got boring again until Cristophe appeared. After more action, the story dragged on for a while again. I got tired of it. This book didn’t even have a plot. I could say it was character-driven, but it wasn’t either. There was barely any dialogue! At the end, it felt more like a prequel than anything else. There was some world-building, but there wasn’t much to it other than that. The ending was so blah too. I think it’s supposed to make me want to read the rest of the series, but it failed to do so. I don’t think I will be reading the other books anytime soon.
    • 4/5
      I'm somewhat new to the paranormal genre in general. I have always loved reading, but really found reading vampire books addicting and seriously enjoyable. It brought back my love for reading, and when I couldn't find books at the bookstore on vampires I branched out into werewolves; I never thought I would continue that into the zombie realm, or the paranormal horror. After spending some time in book forums, the idea of those books started to become intriguing. I picked this book to start with for several reasons. 1) It's YA, which in general I don't gravitate to, but I figured it would be a tamed down version of these types of books. 2) It's written by a very well known author who a lot of people love (even though I myself have never read her).I surprisingly have a lot to say about this book. This was in no way what I thought it was going to be. I was expecting a full on book about Zombies, which I was completely wrong about. Really there was only one zombie in the entire book and it was a very short appearance. Dru is a great character, a young girl who is literally forced to figure out how to fend for herself very suddenly after her father becomes a zombie and she has to kill him.Before I get into the specifics of the book I want to point out that I had a hard time reading this book, in fact I started it several times, starting in June. I felt like the book was so slow. And not only was it slow but it didn't keep my attention so when I would take a break from it I would have to start reading it again from the beginning to even remember what happened. I think St. Crow spent so much time trying to establish the characters and the back story without actually doing so during action that it became almost tedious to read the first half of the book. However after the first part of the book, the action started to pick up and it became a lot easier to read. I'm hoping that later down the line in the serious they won't start off that slow because the back story has already been established.Graves is a really interesting character to me, even more so than Dru. Clearly the book revolves around Dru, but along her journey she finds Graves. Graves clearly is a nice guy, who extends himself to help Dru in her time of need, without really even knowing her. Throughout the book it is revealed that he is also on his own, and really living on his own down to a science, he knows how to survive on his own. In contrast Dru has always had someone to take care of her, and even though she had been trained by both her father and grandmother, the second she is on her own completely she really has no idea what to do. Graves really helps her out in the beginning and then helps to give her a purpose. Graves' wanting to help her ends up exposing him to a world he didn't even know existed. Not only does he become aware of the creepy crawlies of the Real World but he becomes one of those beings he didn't know existed. Really i think this book is about the two characters, Graves and Dru, finding their way, and really finding out who they are. Graves suddenly becoming a werewolf, and being launched into a world he knows nothing about. And Dru, who believes she knows what she is, and believed that she knew a lot about the Real World, is suddenly told she is something completely different, she's not fully human, and all of the information she knew about the Real World barely scratched the surface. And now that these two people know who they are I have a feeling that the next book is going to be about the two of them finding their respective places within this world.While I wish the book would have been more interesting to start with, it redeemed itself in the end, and made me interested to find out what happens in the next book. I also think this is one of the better YA books. YA books in my opinion normally end up being good or really bad, there really is no in between. And thankfully this book falls into the good category.
    • 5/5
      What a book! Had all kinds of creepies in it, vampires, werewolves, zombies, etc; and a kick ass female lead who didn't take crap from anyone. There was quite a bit of strong language, but I thought it added to the characters and how they interacted. This book was completely immersive and I cannot wait to read the second in the series!!! Finished it in 2 hours and couldn't stop!
    • 5/5
      I love this book!! Zombies, vampires and werewolves, oh my! What's not to love? Dru is a refreshing change from most female main characters and she tells it like it is. No sugar coating. Definitely an action-packed start to the series and not for the faint of heart.
    • 5/5
      I have read the serious "Vampire Academy" by Richelle Mead and I see her and Lilith have similar ideas in their right for example the "Dhamphires" in VA and Christophe in SA
    • 4/5
      This is a slow start to a series that has really grown on me. I love Dru as a character. Her circumstances are certainly compelling. Her love interest, Graves, is great. But there are writing quirks from Saintcrow I could live without. Dru repeats herself a lot, not just from book to book, but within books. Metaphors mix a lot. Dru is a sulky teen and that can be a little tiresome to read for long, for all that it is realistic. But any irritations from the writing style are overshadowed by the fact that Saintcrow can flat out tell a story and make me want to know what comes next. I want to know what's going to happen next to Dru and Graves and Christophe, and all the secondary characters we've been introduced to along the way. There is no question that I am along for the ride as far as Saintcrow wants to take us.
    • 4/5
      Good, but with slightly too many curses for me. I loved it, but I also felt that it had much more potential as a novel. Still worth the time, Strange Angels is a good start to the series.

      I stopped less than half-way. Too much dirty language. I've read plenty of adult Urban Fantasy that have had less. It has been my idea that too much of that can start to "corrupt" you.

      This book is more of a thriller. I like the change in reading about "Zombies" "Suckers or nosferatu" "djamphir (part sucker part human)" "Werwulf or Wulfen or Loup-garou". The book is pretty intense throughout the whole book.

      Dru Anderson's day was bad enough with school and her nightmares but when her dad comes home as a zombie from a monster hunting expedition her life goes from complicated to ultra-compilcated and she finds out how different it can be.Dru is an interesting character, full of life and twists and just rather cool. I'm looking forward to more in this series, I do want to know what the author plans to do, I have a sneaking suspicion that her life is going to get more and more twisted. While Dru has abilities she is also very human and does have breakdowns because of what she's forced to do.

      An enjoyable foray into the world of vampires and shapeshifters. Dru is fun to read and Graves is an interesting character. Looking forward to reading the next story in this series.

      The way a book starts is unbelievably important for me. If it does not grab my attention from the first page, then I usually have to force myself to continue until I either love it or hate it even more. And this book was just too difficult to get into, however there were a few moments that actually captured my attention.The only two things in this book that made it slightly enjoyable were the character Graves and the scene where her father was being murdered (god, that's incredibly morbid but its true). Graves was such a lovable character and I couldn't help being crazy over him. He was an actually funny guy and I loved how he wasn't described as 'god-like and drop dead gorgeous' but he was adorably cute. And his personality was so great, I really wished he was real.There was also the scene where her father came back as a zombie and she had to kill him. For me, that was the most powerful scene in the entire book. The emotions, the descriptions, the imagery, all of it was so well done. It also made me feel incredibly sad, when she realized she had to kill her father to survive.But the writing style needed a lot of work. Most of it was uninteresting and non-grabbing but I can tell she put a lot of work into it. Yes, it may not have been the work for me, but other people will like it more than I did.Rating: 2 out of 2 Stars

      Mom, gone mysteriously. Grandma passed away because of old age. Dad...well, turned into a zombie. This book is about Dru Anderson, a teenager who isn't a normal teenager. She got dark secrets that only the people from the "Real World" know. Somehow, her life is totally messed up. But through it, she met friends for the first time. She finds herself in danger since she is...something that she didn't know before. Teenagers who enjoy supernatural (vampires, werewolves, fairies...etc) or a little twinge of horror, I really recommend it.

      Life in the Dakota's is rough this winter. Especially if you're Dru Anderson. Dragged from town to town by her creature-of-the-night hunting father, she's gotten used to packing up and moving out. And to losing people - her mother, her grandmother... but when her father comes back from a night mission as the walking dead, things go completely downhill.Bella eat your heart out - a bit rough around the edges, but Dru's scrappy, quick with a comeback, and on the rocky road to somewhere... Tracking down the next installment will definitely be a priority.
