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 . . . </i> Dru Anderson has been 'strange' for as long as she can remember, travelling 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 . . . 6181610 book 14 5 2009 Strange Angels (Strange Angels #1) total:558|5:139|4:220|3:152|2:33|1:14| 558 2111 1370 156 5 6 false false Thu Apr 02 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Feb 26 20:24:15 -0800 2009 Thu Apr 02 21:54:05 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 3 false false Thu Feb 12 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 11 19:18:44 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 14 12:15:47 -0800 2009 Strange Angels is a fun start to a series that will appeal to any fan of Cassandra Clare or Scott Westerfeld . . . or the movie Underworld, which it more closely resembles.
