Strange Angels by Lili St. Crow



!! SPOILER ALERT !!


"This book was so good. Think of it as Supernatural with a teenage girl and two pretty good-looking boys. It's not cliche, though. At least, not to me. Dru, the main character, her father? Zombie. Oh yeah, she shoots him in her living room. Her mother? Vampire Hunter extraordinare. Best friend? Skinchanger. Oh yeah, she's got it all.

What I really liked about this was that it kept me reading. I finished this book in 2 days, and it was one of my favorites. I borrowed it from the library, but somewhere along the line, this will be a purchase. I was never quite sure what would happen next, and it was quite the thrill-ride.

Only twice was I bothered by something in this book--and it was nothing to complain about. Talking about Dru's acne made me feel like I was sprouting several pimples myself, and I kept looking at my forehead in the mirror, haha. I swear I felt pimple pressure! And the other thing was when Dru writes a phone number on a piece of scrap paper, the author repeats herself, saying it was "an anonymous scrap of blank paper" or something. It's fine, but I really didn't need to hear that twice in the span of 20 or less pages. We readers have good memories!

I can't wait to read the sequel!"
