 That's not to say that there isn't a bit of romance. Saintcrow perfectly captures that awkward teenage attraction, and Dru is never short on observations about how Graves is going to be a real looker in a couple of years. The second boy, Cristophe, doesn't turn up until the second half of the novel, which I imagine will again annoy those looking for love triangles, but he is a compelling (and attractive) character who will definitely fit well into the 'love rival' role later on.
-I get the feeling the blurb refers to the series as a whole, as there is certainly potential for things to get romantically complicated, but like a good first book in a series, ''Strange Angels'' is more concerned with building the characters and establishing the basis on which romantic relationships can be built.

 If you prefer supernatural thrillers with a side of romance, as opposed to romance with a side of supernatural thrillers, ''Strange Angels'' is the perfect book for you. Fast-paced, intense, and genuinely quite scary, it's the exciting start to what will hopefully prove to be an excellent series.

 In ''Strange Angels'' Lilith Saintcrow turns her talent for creating badass heroines to the teenage market. According to the thank-yous, Dru's story almost didn't get written. I for one am very glad it did. I enjoyed [[Hunter's Prayer by Lilith Saintcrow|Hunter's Prayer]], one of Saintcrow's adult novels, but I think this one is very much better.
-Unfortunately the blurb doesn't really do it justice. Keen to attract the insatiable teen supernatural romance market, it closes with ''Can she stay alive long enough to fall for one – or both – of the guys hungry for her affection?'' Girls reading this may be disappointed to find this isn't a love triangle parading as a supernatural thriller. It actually is a supernatural thriller. A very good one.
