Publisher Description
“Move over Buffy! You have met your match with Dru.”—Huntress Reviews
“Dark, dangerous, and sexy! Dru Anderson is a tough new heroine whose story you won’t be able to put down.”—Richelle Mead, author of the New York Times bestselling Vampire Academy series
Dad? Zombie.
Mom? Long Gone.
Me? Well, that’s the scary part.
The Real World is a frightening place. Just ask sixteen-year-old orphan Dru Anderson, a tough girl who has taken down her fair share of bad guys. She’s armed, dangerous, and ready to kill first and ask questions later. So it’s gonna take her a while to figure out who she can trust . . .
Dru Anderson has been “strange” for as long as she can remember, traveling from town to town with her father to hunt the things that go bump in the night. It’s a weird life, but a good one—until it all explodes in an icy, broken-down Dakota town, when a hungry zombie busts through her kitchen door. Alone, terrified, and trapped, Dru’s going to need every inch of her wit and training to stay alive. The monsters have decided to hunt back—and this time, Dru’s on their menu. Chances of survival? Slim to none.
If she can’t last until sunup, it’s game over . . .
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Dru has always known about the poltergeists, vampires and werwulfen that inhabit the Real World since her father has traveled the country battling them, often with Dru's help. But when he is killed after they move to the Dakotas and sent back as a zombie to kill her Dru digs deeper into her history, trying to find out who murdered her mother and who is after her. Graves, an orphan, joins up with her and is soon turned into a loup-garou by a wolf bite, and Dru is able to get some answers from Christophe, a djamphir (part human, part vampire). In her YA debut, St. Crow (who writes adult novels as Lilith Saintcrow) creates with masterful prose a vivid and dark world that will mesmerize readers. Dru's mix of strength and vulnerability peppered with teenage observations (as when she compares mean teachers to sharks, "machines made for eating, with a finely tuned sense for blood in the water") make her a fully relatable character, and teens will dig the Buffy-like blend of supernatural action and wit. Ages 12 up.

Strange angels
This book was very interesting and even a page turner
Best book
Best books you will ever read. Every time I finished the books in the series I would get sad and then run to the store to buy the next book. Trust me it's worth the money BUY THE SERIES!!
No
I saw someone else mention this but I just came here to say that the way this author refers to Graves as a “half-breed” and fetishes the fact that he’s half Asian is really weird. Would have been a good storyline/ series if it weren’t for the blatant fetishizing of poc
