Yesterday I finished a book called Betrayals by Lili St. Crow. This is the second book in a series called Strange Angels. I read the first one over the summer and finally found all the rest of them.
The first book, Strange Angels, has absolutely nothing to do with angels. The main character, Dru, and her dad travel the country hunting things that go bump in the night. Much like Sam and Dean in Supernatural without the Impala and the beautiful Jensen Ackles. After a few days, Dru's dad doesn't come back from a hunt. Until he does. And not in the Supernatural way. By herself, she realizes that whoever did that to her dad will be coming after her. A half-goth boy and someone she'd normally hunt try to keep her safe, even though she can do that just fine by herself.
*IF YOU HAVEN'T READ STRANGE ANGELS, GO AWAY AND READ IT, BECAUSE OF THE SPOILERS*
Betrayals takes place while Dru and Graves are at the Schola, a supposedly safe place for teenage werewolves, half-werewolves, and half-vampires. It should be like normal school with the addition of combat training, except Dru is the only girl. And that's only the beginning of her struggles.
This book was a combination of slow and frustrating in the beginning. For me. Then as I realized what was happening, it got faster and infuriating. How dare they try and shelter the most powerful whatever-she-is! At least I think she's most powerful. . . when she comes into her powers . . . ? I don't remember. Anyway, yeah! I liked it. Besides when she was all sad and the people were being annoying, I enjoyed this book. I think in the third book, or somewhere before the end of the series, Dru's going to fix Ash, and Ash is going to be awesome. Dibs is literally the most adorable person ever. I used to want Shanks to go eat dirt, but he's cool now.
Shipping: Dru and Graves; Dru and Christophe
Rooting for: Ash
Disclaimer: There are three other books in this series and I'm reading them in order, so the next few posts will probably be written assuming you've read the others.
7.5/10
