She’s no angel . . .
Poor Dru Anderson. Her parents are long gone, her best friend is a werewolf, and she’s just learned that the blood flowing through her veins isn’t entirely human. (So what else is new?)

Now Dru is stuck at a secret New England School for other teens like her, and there’s a big problem— she’s the only girl in the place. A school full of cute boys wouldn’t be so bad, but Dru’s killer instinct says that one of them wants her dead. And with all eyes on her, discovering a traitor within the Order could mean a lot more than social suicide. . .

Can Dru survive long enough to find out who has betrayed her trust—and maybe even her heart?

This book is love. I absolutely loved Strange Angels, and was a little worried about Betrayals living up to my expectations. There was no issue there, Lili St. Crow wrote another fantastic novel! Betrayals picks up where Dru story's ended with Strange Angels and sweeps you right back into her world with a fast paced story jam packed with action, mystery, secrets, and tension.

I continue to be impressed with Lili St. Crows writing. She's managed to create this amazing world for Strange Angels that I absolutely love. The action never lets up, and Lili St. Crow leaves readers guessing. You think somethings finally going to go right or this'll happen, and Lili St. Crow takes you off in a completely different direction than what you think. There were so many times I found myself yelling at characters, and screaming WHAT!?!.

Betrayals was a book that answered some of your questions, but left you with even more! Also you learn so much more about the mythology and story of the werewulfen, djamphir, nosferatu, etc. I thought it was simply fascinating!

Dru continues to be stubborn and set in her ways - but that's what you love about her! If she let anyone push her around she'd no longer be Dru. She's such a strong character. Dru also grew as a character in Betrayals. You see more of Dru than the tough girl she puts on. You start to see the vulnerable girl behind the tough face more. Though, I cannot wait for Dru to wake up and smell the coffee - errr.... Apple Pie? Readers get to see more of Christophe. *swoons* I was majorly crushing on Christophe in Strange Angels, and the swoonage only grew in Betrayals. You get to learn more about Christophe and his past. Betrayals gives Graves a new light. I liked him as a character in Strange Angels, but in Betrayals he really grew as a character. He still is no match for the one and only Christophe. You also get introduced to many other new characters. Dibs is one you meet and is one of my favorites.

This is a must read. I cannot see where Lili St. Crow takes Dru and her friends in book 3! She's set the stage for another amazing story. Gosh, is it June yet? I need Jealously.
