Strange Angels

"By the time I stamped down the stairs, I was already pissed off and getting worse. My favourite jeans weren’t clean and I had a zit the size of Mount Pinatubo on my temple under a hank of dishwater brown hair. I opted for a grey T-shirt and a red hoodie, a pair of combat boots and no makeup. Why bother, right? I wasn’t going to be here long enough for anyone to care."

Girls who can sense when something weird is about to happen. When they move to a small town in the Dakotas she assumes it's going to be like every other move. Spend a couple of months, kill some baddies and get back in the road. But she realizes something's wrong when her Dad doesn't come home one night and his zombie smashes through her kitchen door.

Afraid and alone Dru befriends a street kid named Graves who is bitten by a werewolf. They struggle to stay alive and to discover what's going on when a mysterious blonde boy named Christophe appears. He knows all the answers and offers to help the escape the thing that's hunting Dru.
