Defiance (Strange Angels, Book 4)

Defiance - Lili St. Crow, Lilith Saintcrow This is a very hard book to review. I am a huge fan of Lilith Saintcrow, and she always delivers her best, and there were parts of this book that is her signature - breathtaking chase, brutal fighting, explosive action.

But there was also a lot of teenage angst and plenty of confusion on Dru's part which was emotionally tiring.

This is a pivotal book is the series. Dru has to make a lot of decisions that would change her life greatly. She is very scarred psychologically, but she perseveres no matter what. The final battle was just perfect, the resolutions amazing.

However there are parts mainly concerning Christophe that made me extremely uncomfortable. There was something creepy in his attachment to Dru and her response to him.

Otherwise, 2/3 of the book were great. I loved the scene in the baths and the end battle. No matter what, I feel relieved by how it all ended and can't wait for the next book to come out.
