Second in the Strange Angels urban-fantasy series for young adults revolving around a svetocha, a very rare female djamphir with powers greatly desired by both the good and the evil.
The Story
In this installment, Dru and Grant have just arrived at the Schola where Christophe said she would be safe but nothing else is as Christophe said. And it soon becomes apparent that Dru isn't safe here either.

This series is fantastic. The first thing I noticed about Dru, is she's brillant and hilarious. She maintains this strong, sarcastic, yet still so completely human voice (whether that's what she is... or not) that never wavers.
The few things that Dru Anderson knows to be true are what keeps her grounded - she know's they're not much, but they are all she has: her mother is gone, her father is her family, the Real World is always going to kick down her door, she's agains More...

*Spoilers for Strange Angels (Book 1) only*
All in all, this one was pretty good. The plot was a bit fresher than the last one, and I feel like the characters developped a bit more. It was pretty enjoyable. I only have two, vague complaints.
1.) This book was a little too Harry Potter for me. They kept calling Sajori (that's definitely butchered, but I can't remember how to spell it) you-know-who, and it was entirely too Voldemort for my taste, especially the way they all h More...

I don't really think Dru is that badass girl. Actually I think she's boring. She's always complaining about her miserable life. She is not the girl I thought she would be when I started to read this series. The author criated a character that are so fucked in life that her weakness should make her stronger.

My thoughts:
It is rare to read a sequel that is better than the first book in a series. Lili St Crow pulls it off in Betrayals; book two of the Strange Angels series.
Dru and Graves try to find their niche in Schola where it seems the only ones that can be trusted are themselves and they don’t know who the enemy really is. There are many people that seem to be helping them but honestly these two have been pushed down and kicked so many times they don’t know what end is up. It w More...

2.5 no more! ugh, why do I always seem to find books with so much teenage angst? Are all supernatural books involving females so whinny? Whats wrong with having a young female character who can and does stand up for herself without having to have young boys fight over her while she plays helpless?
The two books that I have read of Lili St Crow have both fallen flat. The writer repeats herself constantly. I found myself flipping ahead just to skip over the main characters constant retelling More...

In my review of "Strange Angels" I expressed my love for Dru, she is just such a kick-ass character and while I do love her and think that she is super fascinating and intriguing, I think that Ash is hands-down the most intriguing of all of the characters (a werwulf broken by the vampire- nosferat- who is hell-bent on killing Dru). I mean, what is Ash's endgame? Why is he so protective of her? Did he know her mom like Chris and Dylan did? Crazy theory moment! Did he grow up in the Scho

My biggest complaint with this book (and the last, come to think of it), may be more edit-based than anything else.
When you're writing, bits and pieces of ideas can sneak in here and there. You go "oh, this would be a great time to mention this little tidbit of knowledge..." and in it goes. The problem is, sometimes, 20 pages later, you may go "oh, this would be a great time to mention this little tidbit of knowledge" all over again. In the author's head, it's More...

Being stuck in a school where you’re the only girl can come with its own set of issues, let alone when its a school for the paranormally gifted. Nothing’s happening though and that’s the problem. No one will train her, teach her and frankly even talk to her. Graves the one exception continues to be her only support system. Something is creeping on the outside, Dru can’t see it but she knows someone is betraying her........ Fear and loneliness start looming in on Dru and depression nearly drags h

Betrayals is yet another kick-butt book from the awesome Lili St. Crow. Yes, it is true; I am becoming quite a fan of this series.
The prologue of Betrayals reminds us how Strange Angels ended. This is definitely a series to read in the correct order. You’ll miss out on so much action-packed fun if you skip ahead. And indeed, if you read this review you will give yourself gigantic spoilers for the first book. You have been warned.

What I liked about Strange Angels (the first in this series) was that it wasn’t set in any kind of school for the creepy supernatural, like so many other YA paranormal books. So when I realized that Betrayals was set in a supernatural school for the kooky and the gifted, I was a little disheartened. But I was wrong to judge so fast. Let me clear this up right away, Betrayals is no high school novel and Dru is certainly no high school gal.

Dru, you steal my heart. This is the second book in the Strange Angels series. I wasn't way into Strange Angels-until the end. So, of course I had to read Betrayals. I was really excited to see what would happen because Dru is going to school for people like her. Well, sort of. She's the only chick there. The rest of the school is filled with cute dudes. Sounds awful...

This series just keeps getting better with each book I read. I am now part way into Jealousy, the third book in the series and I have the same feeling I did reading the Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead. With both series the first one was good but with each edition the depth of the plot grows in a direction you didn’t anticipate and the romantic intensity thickens until your tearing at the pages to see what happens next. In Strange Angels (the first book in the series) there was a relen

So, Betrayals is the sequel to Strange Angels, and I have to say I was just as disappointed with this one as the first. Both books could have been a hell of alot shorter without the constant and excessive need for repetition, it drove me insane!! Do we really need to be told constantly about inane objects (Dad's billfold, mom's locket, mom's swords, etc, etc)? There is constant repetition running through every theme in the book, even down to repeating whole chunks from the first book. I also

Betrayals picks up where Strange Angels left off, and plunges Dru straight back into danger. It's just as fast paced as its predecessor, with enough fight scenes to make you think you're watching an action movie.
I like the story and supernatural theme of this series, but I can't seem to connect with the characters. Dru isn't very personable and is quite closed off, and I think that's what's giving me a hard time with her. I understand that she's been abandoned, betrayed, and generall More...

Betrayals is the second book in the Strange Angels series and picks up right where the series titled first book left off. Dru and Graves have just arrived at the Schola Christophe sent them to, and it doesn't take long for Dru to get herself in to trouble. Wulfen and djamphirs don't get along, add in super strength and fast healing with testosterone fueled teenage boys, and fights are a common occurrence. Dru isn't one to back away from a fight, but she doesn't yet have the strength or healing p

I guess I would go 3.75 stars with this book. I liked it better than Strange Angels; I felt like more happened in this book than in the first one. In this book, Dru and Graves are placed in a Schola, ostensibly for their protection. But it rapidly becomes clear that Dru is not safe, and she has no idea who she can trust. I liked how this incarnation of the werwulf and nosferatu/dhjampir mythologies are fleshed out (particularly how the wulfen make consensus decisions in order to "hunt in pa

Even though it was definitely not one of the best books I've ever read, I enjoyed Betrayals, more than Strange Angels anyways.
But there were a few things that got on my nerves. I'm kind of confused with the whole Graves-Christophe thing - I want to like Christophe, but his characterisation is seriously skewed. One minute he's this dangerously attractive rebel who seems to really care about Dru, and the next he morphs into a complete jackass. At the end of the book he was acting weird More...

Betrayals is the second engagement in the Strange Angels series and while I liked the first book, I LOVED the second book.
First book ends when Dru gets to the Schola and the second books picks where we left off, Dru is in a Schola full of delinquent djamphir and wulfen teenage boys, and even though Christophe promised she would be safe there, something is wrong.

I really, really enjoyed this. Unlike Strange Angels it started with good momentum and kept it up throughout, incorporating some standout action scenes. Dru was slightly down beat but I felt this was to be expected considering everything that’s happened recently and gave it a sense of realism. Christophe was still intriguing but I want to see more of him in the next book otherwise I think it’s just going to become annoying – there are so many questions that need answering.

The concept of the book was fine, but Dru--awesome, kick-ass Dru from the first book--she got depressing. Uber depressing. Why? Because SHE was depressed. The entire book, I swear at least once a chapter, Dru ran through her mind about all the people she lost: Dad, Gram, Mom. Gram, Mom, Dad. S More...

I feel like when it comes down to it, she doesn't say much of anything out loud, and I wonder how anyone can think she has any personalty at all. Speaking of which, I'm not sure I get her. Is she a tomboy? Is she starting to like boys? Based on some of her comments I'd say yes, but than sometimes she seems so immature and
