Strange Angels and Betrayals (Strange Angels #1-2)
"The dishes from last night were still crouched in the sink."Sorry that line ruined any hope of liking this book. I hope those dishes don't spring up and attack.
I had skimmed through this, thinking the story would be about angels, but its not even close to it.I thought there was just too much thoughts that flowed through her head (the italicized ones) and it made it difficult to read. And the plot wasn't even much to begin with. The sixth sense that was mentioned in the blurb made it seem like it would be a major part of it, but it wasn't.Some of the descriptions, I felt, went for far too long. And the constant repetition of the phrases were irritating.
THERE'S A YA BOOK BY SOMEONE CALLED LILI ST CROW THAT SOME VERY SJ FANDOM PEOPLE BACK ON LJ LIKED WHICH CALLED A HALF-ASIAN CHARACTER A HALF BREED. THERE'S SHEER STUPIDITY INVOLVED HERE. AS FOR THE EDITORS, I THINK RACISM AGAINST ASIANS JUST DOESN'T RING BELLS THE SAME WAY IT DOES FOR OTHER ETHNICITIES.
This series needs to be turned into a movie series, like the Hunger Games. It has a lot of potential. A lot of people are worried about the director missing an leaving out good parts. Lili St. Crow can help produce the movies, I mean she is the one who wrote them. My requests for characters would be Missy Peregrym as Dru, Drew Roy as Graves, and Alex Pettyfer as Christophe.
It's been quite a while since I rated a book without finishing it. I really tried to keep going, but I had to stop because I realized I was trying too hard. Nothing major was happening, and I felt like if this were made into a TV series, it would be the kind of series that would waste so many episodes just to get to a decent cliffhanger.
This is probably my least favorite paranormal series so far. I'm obviously in the minority here. The story was painfully slow. Dru is not a very interesting character, and she thinks way too much for her own good. I think there were way too many conversations inside her head and it kind of just really slowed down the whole story. Characters were a little boring, even her love interests weren't very interesting. I didn't care at all for Graves or Christophe. One of the worst things about this

I actually loved these books so much that the moment I finished, I jumped online to buy the next 3 in the series. There are some annoying things in the writing.. like the decriptive word overkill and the occasionally childish narrative from Dru.. but it didn't bother me enough to dislike the book. The characters were so interesting and genuinely likeable. The beginning hints of a love triangle were nice because they didn't distract from the book. I can't wait to keep reading."The dishes from last night were still crouched in the sink."Sorry that line ruined any hope of liking this book. I hope those dishes don't spring up and attack.
