Favorite quote:“I guess since the groin is the center of a guy's world, he rarely guesses it isn't the center of yours.”
Blurb:
In Strange Angels, Dru Anderson has what her grandmother called “the touch.” (Comes in handy when you’re traveling from town to town with your dad, hunting ghosts, suckers, wulfen, and the occasional zombie.)
Then her dad turns up dead—but still walking—and Dru knows she’s next. Even worse, she’s got two guys hungry for her affections, and they’re not about to let the fiercely independent Dru go it alone. Will Dru discover just how special she really is before coming face-to-fang with whatever—orwhoever— is hunting her
My Review:
When I was at my local library {I swear I go there so much I
think they know me by name!} I saw this book, and remembered it is getting so
good feedback from Goodreads so I checked it out. This book was a little bit of
a disappointment, let me explain why.
Part 1:
I think of this book in two parts part 1 and part 2. In part
one honesty I was ready to give this book 2 roses!! The writing was very simple
and I felt like I was reading something my friends would write, granted my
friends are great writers but they have not been writing very long and that's
what it feels like when I read Lili's writing. The plot was moving at a slow
pace for me I really just wanted to say," Do something already!" Also
the way Dru treated Graves pissed me off, she treated him like a little 5 year
old kid and even in her mind in she was calling him a kid!! I mean really, this
guy gives you a place to a warm place to stay and some food- which by the way
you can't seem do-and you act like he is in middle school? That’s rude in my
opinion. Also it get annoying how she is always mentioning how hot Graves will
be. It gets really annoying, it’s like Lili is trying to say “Don’t worry! He will get hot
later so Dru can be attracted to him now!" Don't get me tried with Dru!!
From the cover I was hoping for a bad-ass -kick -paranormal- butt character but
Dru seem to completely forget everything her father taught her I understand she
misses her dad and is grieving but I want her to be independent!!
Part 2:
The reason I call this part two is because for some reason
Lili suddenly changes her writing style a little bit here. It becomes a little
more complex and more interesting to read. Also she becomes a little more
independent and she stops talking about how hot Graves will be. But I find it
really funny that Christophe {O.K. so what’s with the weird spelling?} treats
Dru the same way she treats Graves: like a 12 year old kid. In my mind whenever
Christophe treats Dru like that in my mind I'm just thinking that's karma
bitch!!
So since part 2 was better I have decided to give this book
3 Roses!! If I decide to read the 2nd book it’s only to see if it gets any
better.
Doesn't sound like you enjoyed it much. THe next book will be better, I'm sure. LOL
