Eposide: Strange Angels (Strange Angels #1)



Everything is a blur. Dru’s dad became a zombie and she kill’s him. Then she meet’s this guy who sits infornt of her in class and turns into a semi warewolf.  He got bitten by a warewolf with highlights. Then she meet’s this djamphir who tries to help them. I kept falling asleep. Thank God I didn’t miss the important parts.
This was supposed to be an easy read but I just can get my head into it.  I kept zoning out and on several occasions have thrown the book to the floor. It’s not a bad book, I liked the last part of it.  I guess it’s coz it started slow and it was kinda confusing. It was too descriptive for me that i’m unable to picture out what was happening. It’s the same thing that happens to me when I’m reading adult fiction books which is probably why I don’t read much of them. It gets me confused.  She also talks to herself too much. I liked it at first coz it’s real.  We don’t always say what we think but it was too much for me. I also was not able to connect with the dad’s death coz the dad being alive part was too short for me to relate.  It was also kinda disappointing. The cover of the book says “Dru Anderson Night hunter, Knife Thrower, Heartbreaker” but in this book you can’t call her a night hunter.  She’s just a regular girl with a night hunter mom and amateur night hunter dad and with an attitude problem.  There was also no heartbreaking.  I don’t remember much knife throwing, it’s more guns than knives.  I guess I expected her to be kick ass.  But that is the reason why I will continue reading this series. I wanna see her improve. Well I hope she does. Hell, I’m sure she will.  I’m just so used to reading about kick ass girls who gets better as the series progresses.  I didn’t expect a sorta clumsy and kinda clueless girl who has too much thought bubble conversations. Atleast there is something fresh or different about this series.

If you haven’t read this series, you should be ready to let go of some of your paranormal beliefs coz some of them are kinda different.

I’m not happy with this first book and Dru is currently my top 2 irritating female protagonist but I will continue reading it for sure.
