Jealousy: Love conquering all odds

Well, hello there, peeps. Time for me to pick off where I left off about Strange Angels.


Christophe and Dru are now the main stars in this installment  of Strange Angels
Jealousy is the third installment of the famous Strange Angels series, authored by no other than Lili St. Crow. It picks off where Betrayals ended, with Dru Anderson now in the confines of the Schola Prima, the real-deal training facility for vampires. But that's not all; it's also the headquarters of the Order, the so-called government of suckers.


And Dru's not the only female vampire-human hybrid ever existed. There is another sveotcha by the name of Anna, the red-headed rich kid who is the head of the Order. Spoiled and persistent to get what she wanted, Anna will stop at nothing to get Christophe Reynard back, even if it means to drag Dru down.


It's known as Jealousy, mainly because of Christophe's past with Dru's mom, with Anna being the unhappy girl who's always angry whenever she spots him with Elizabeth. And yes, even with Liz killed and her daughter now existing, she's still mad, this time about Dru's relationship with Christophe.


Well, all I can say is... try to dive in this book. It'll be one hell of a ride! ^^


Till next time :D

Strange Angels: Kicking butt in the Real World

My first post for 2012... ^^

I would recommend those who love supernatural and teenage stuff to read Strange Angels, one of the newest novels to attract attention to all novel enthusiasts everywhere. It had garnered a lot of praise from famous book critiques, and even bloggers are going ga-ga over this.

The kick-ass cover of Strange Angels, showing the main protagonist

Meet Dru Anderson, the typical tough girl who does travel from one place to another w/ her father who is a hunter, gifted with the sixth sense a.k.a "the touch". This "touch" allowed her to see and track down supernatural creatures, like vampires, zombies, werewolfs, etc. The turning point began when her father had gone missing for months, only to be turned into a zombie itching to take the life out of her. With a gun in hand, she killed the zombie, and with a gothic half-Asian boy who was bitten by a lycan and a handsome djamphir (human-sucker hybrid) as her only companions, she goes on a chase to find the culprit behind the incident that made her dad turn into one of the reanimated. But there will be more shocking secrets that she'll discover as the plot thickens. 


Sorry, can't spoil the rest. You have to find out on your own... ^^;

The introduction narrates the reader about the concept of familiars acting as guides or sensors whenever danger comes lurking, like the gray owl of Dru's grandmother. As the story progress, it incorporates the usual problems teenagers go through, but due to the main heroine's unique heritage, it's more than normal. It also applies the usual ideas of the lives of the otherwordly beings, and even the methods on how they can be slayed. As for the mood, it's more on the serious, ferocious side, though the story also includes humor (even sarcastic ones).

Strange Angels is just the beginning... for the saga ends with the 5th novel, Reckoning. Because of the content, it's PG-13 (because you'll see a lot of swearing, no joke).


Well, if you're the fan of supernatural novels, or just wanted to take a break from the usual plots, then try reading it. It may be worth it, and you may get hooked... ^^


Till next time, folks ^^
