Lili St. Crow writes young adult paranormal fantasy and darker fairy-tale fiction. Strange Angels follows Dru Anderson, a teenager already familiar with supernatural hunting, after her father is turned into a zombie and she is drawn into a dangerous world of vampires, were-creatures and hidden factions. Betrayals, Jealousy, Defiance and Reckoning continue Dru's development and the conflict surrounding her unusual abilities. St. Crow's Tales of Beauty and Madness series, including Nameless and Wayfarer, reworks familiar fairy-tale material in darker modern settings. Her books are fast, dangerous and relationship-aware, fitting YA urban fantasy, vampire fiction and dark fairy-tale retellings. Strange Angels is the clearest entry point for her urban-fantasy readership, while Nameless begins a separate, more gothic sequence. Strange Angels is the strongest starting point for readers who want supernatural pursuit and monster hunting, while Nameless begins a separate sequence for those more interested in fairy-tale structures, gothic atmosphere and altered versions of familiar stories.
