Strange Angels by Lili St. Crow

Summary: Dru Anderson has what her grandmother called athe touch.a (Comes in handy when you are traveling from town to town with your dad, hunting ghosts, suckers, wulfen, and the occasional zombie.)

Then her dad turns up dead-but-still-walking, and Dru knows she's next. Even worse, she's got two guys hungry for her affections, and they are not about to let the fiercely independent Dru go it alone. Will Dru discover just how special she really is before coming face-to-fang with whatever--or whoever--is hunting her?

My thoughts: I've heard this book called Supernatural for girls. And that's a great description, as it's more Dean and Sam than Buffy. Dru's got a gutter mouth and a violently practical edge, but more than that she's got real feelings and real fears. Even if she is a little superhuman, her vulnerabilities make her real and interesting. Strange Angels is an action-packed book that moves faster than a sparkling vampire and it still manages to have depth and plot. I'm really looking forward to the next in the series!
