This book has been ruined by my loving mother. I finished it today while we were at the beach and put it back in the beach bag and my mother put a wet towel on top of it. Right now it is resting under a stack of things to try to prevent the pages from turning to crinkly. I have little hope.
Regardless of my copy being ruined it was a great book. I didn't get the first four or five chapters because it's been a year since I read Strange Angels, the first book in the series. If you do read the Strange Angel novels by Lili St. Crow try to read them consecutively. It becomes very hard to remember what words mean what when you haven't read it in a while.
Like most books in the young adult section of your friendly neighborhood chapters it's about vampires and werewolves and what Lili St. Crow calls the "Real World". Strange Angel, unlike most novels of it's kind, was not really a love story. It focused more on getting out alive and fighting off monsters. Unfortunately I didn't luck out with Betrayals. Half way through the book love triangles started to form and it was immensely frustrating and made the story line a little messy. Nearer the end she starts to doubt one of her romantic interests but then they made things difficult by saying something along the lines of "you're the reason I live"
Dru, the main character, is a very round character even though I doubted her sanity through most of the novel. She is deeply scared by her past and has abandonment issues which become more and more prevalent as the book goes on. She's a loner and she's really awkward so I find it really easy to connect with her because most of the time I am a loner and I'm always awkward.
Due to the fact that this book has a love triangle in it I'm going to have to give it a 7 locks of hair out of 10. The triangle was constructed very nicely, I just hate them. But overall it was a good book.
