Strange Angels by Lilith Saintcrow

Dru Anderson has moved all around the continent hunting monsters with her dad. When they move to a new town one of the last things she expected was her to to be turned into one of them. He shows up knocking at the door as one of the reanimated dead. Now she is alone orphaned and she gets her only friend, who used to be a normal human, into some serious trouble in the Real World. She must discover who turned her dad into a zombie and why they killed her mother. And why on Earth they would want to kill her! There are three things I didn't like about this book: the cover and title. The cover didn't do the book justice and the title had nothing to do with the book! The third was the constant swearing, it just got on my nerves, there are more ways to express yourself than swears! Other than that it was really good. Book Website, Author website

Clockwork Angle

I love the stories about shadow hunters but i liked this one even more.Loved the action. This is about the struggle of Theresa Gray when  she goes to London to find her brother. She is kidnapped my the cruel Dark Sisters, a pair of warlocks, that train her to use an extraordinary power she never knew she had.  And they are training her to please the mysterious Magister who will do what ever it takes to get his hands on her power. When the shadow hunters find her stumbling upon shadowy disappearances of mundanes (humans) she is afraid and doesn't have any one to help her. Until they let her be a temporary gust at the London Institute. They offer to help her find her brother and she warily accepts. And when she realizes she is falling in love with two of the shadow hunters she must choose between to best friends. This was a great book about love, loss and discovering who you are but not in a boring way.
