I liked this book a lot better than its predecessor.

There was far less stupid questions and actions by the characters that made me want to tear out my hair.

Dru is resourceful and clever in this book. The action (what there is of it) is far better described and played out. There's a few interesting twists to keep you guessing.

I enjoy the characters of Graves and Christoph and the bevy of other characters introduced.

There isn't much to say other than the fact that the lack of any real story progre More...

I probably would have continued reading this series if Dru turned out to have a younger sister called Samantha and fell in love with an angel called Casper, but methinks these things will never occur.

Goodbye, Dru Anderson. You're lame.

I'm kind of glad I stuck with this series despite the cliche, Supernatural-wannabe worldbuilding of the first book. Unfortunately, I haven't really warmed up to Graves, what with the cigarettes and the nerd-turned-macho-guy personality. His character seems to alternate between hyper possessive/posturing/protective guy and lovesick puppy, neither of which particularly sparks any fondness. I guess part of my problem is just that the author seems to be pushing Dru's affections for Graves a little t More...

Dru is now at a Schola (kind of a school for vampires and werwulfs) learning the official curriculum on the species and trying to relax, which is kind of hard when a possible traitor is visiting you on the sly, and someone you previously thought was your enemy is trying to save your life. Oh, and you're the only girl in a school full of really hot guys. First world problems, man.

More details about Dru's past is revealed in this book, not much at all, Lili St. Crow is really stretching our patien More...

Asa ceva nu mi s-a intamplat niciodata pana acum. Am stat azinoapte pana la ora 3 sa o termin. M-a innebunit total. Personajele, actiunea care se deruleaza cu viteza luminii, toate menite sa te ia de cap.

Despre carte : Binecunoscutul volum 2 al seriei Altfel de ingeri.

Cadrul actiunii : Principalul cadru este Scoala unde au fost adusi Dru si Graves. Bineinteles ca Dru are cateva tentative de a "evada" in cautarea.. ei bine, nu stiu ce cauta. Eventual vreo intalnire cu nosferatu .

Inceputul : Am ra More...

"Verraten" von Lili St. Crow ist der zweite Teil der insgesamt fünfteiligen "Strange Angels"-Reihe dieser Autorin. Nachdem ich den ersten Teil, "Verflucht", schon nicht hundertprozentig überzeugend fand, konnte auch "Verraten" keinen besseren Eindruck hinterlassen.

Inhalt: Dru und Graves sind in einer geheimen Schule voller Djamphiere und Werwölfe untergebracht. Während Graves sich gut eingelebt hat, langweilt Dru sich. Sie ist nicht nur das einzige Mädchen der gesamten Schule, sondern darf auch More...

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.

No one will teach her anything. No one will tell her anything. No one wants her here. Oh, they say More...

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 against the wall and she's lock 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 hide from him and call hi More...

I'm not that good in english, so sorry... I'll try here.
Han... I don't, know but I didn't like this book that much.
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. I think she should push herself more, go after answers no matter what... be More...

Um.. A 3 .5 pointer . An okay book that can give you gose-bumps at times if you are reading at night and suddenly the power went down with a storm attacking your city ,Yeah well it happened with me I was reading a quite interesting seen when power went down and the wind started blowing really fast . Um..anyways the books okay okay and it may also keeps you at edge at times .. so ......

Now that Dru knows what she is and who want's her dead there's another mystery to be solved who's the traitor , More...

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 was fun to watch th 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 of he 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 Schola like he More...

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 new - it hasn't come up yet. The au More...

(from Murphy's Library - http://www.murphyslibrary.com/ - rated 4 and a half there)

I love you, Guta. She knew I was dying to read this book so she gave it to me as a birthday present—one of them, I must say!—and I started reading it right away—not before Murphy tried to fool us, I also must say. Sorry "To Read" list, but Christophe has my heart and you had to wait.

We start Betrayals exactly where we were left in Strange Angels: Dru and Graves have just arrived at the Order, and they're headed to 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 More...

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.


For those of you still with me, we meet Dru again as she takes up More...

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.

School never was her thing, so when Christophe dumps her a More...

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...

What does Dru stand for?!? Come on St. Crow, please tell us! Now that that's out of the way...

I love the relationship that Dru g More...

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 relentle More...

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 fou More...

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 generally treated ba 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 More...

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 packs") More...
