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
