Betrayals

by Lili St. Crow Narrated by Alyssa Bresnahan

Overview

Her mom long gone, her father turned zombie, life just didn't turn out the way teen Dru Anderson thought it might. But then Dru's not your ordinary girl-a fact made all the more apparent by the discovery that she's got nonhuman blood coursing through her veins. Thrust into a school for teens of her particular (supernatural) calling, Dru finds herself surrounded by cute boys. Being the only girl in her class certainly has its advantages, but then, as always, there seems to be a problem. One of the boys is out to get her, and the lady killer in question means quite emphatically to see her dead. Lili St. Crow staked her place among writers of dark fantasy with the release of Strange Angels, the first book featuring night hunter Dru Anderson. Here teen Dru returns, a little wiser but still beset by supernatural terrors that would have most girls her age running for cover. What else would you expect for someone with nonhuman blood coursing through her veins? ". grabs readers by the throat, gets hearts beating loudly and never lets go,."-Kirkus Reviews

Editorial Reviews

School Library Journal

Gr 9 Up—Lili St. Crow's sequel (2009) to Strange Angels (2009, both Razorbill; Recorded Books, 2009) picks up as Dru and Graves are transported to a strange school to try to ensure their safety. Vampires continue to search out Dru and she's not sure who to trust as she tries to discover the traitor within the school. Lots of action and appearances of the mysterious Christophe (half-vampire) add dimension to story. Terms such as djamphirs, werewulfen, and nosferatu are not defined. An overuse of alliteration goes beyond lyrical language, and a heavy use of profanity may make this more suitable for older students. Alyssa Bresnahan lends an authentic voice to Dru and the other characters even though her overlong pauses at the end of some sentences can be distracting. Listeners should be familiar with the previous volume to fully understand the backstory here. This vampire-werewolf series will appeal to fans of the genre.—Jeana Actkinson, Adjunct, ESC Region XI, Ft. Worth, TX
