That's not to say that there isn't a bit of romance. Saintcrow perfectly captures that awkward teenage attraction, and Dru is never short on observations about how Graves is going to be a real looker in a couple of years. The second boy, Cristophe, doesn't turn up until the second half of the novel, which I imagine will again annoy those looking for love triangles, but he is a compelling (and attractive) character who will definitely fit well into the 'love rival' role later on.
I get the feeling the blurb refers to the series as a whole, as there is certainly potential for things to get romantically complicated, but like as a good first book in a series, ''Strange Angels'' is more concerned with building the characters and establishing the basis on which romantic relationships can be built.
If you prefer supernatural thrillers with a side of romance, as opposed to romance with a side of supernatural thrillers, ''Strange Angels'' is the perfect book for you. Fast-paced, intense, and genuinely quite scary, it's the exciting start to what will hopefully prove to be an excellent series.
My thanks to the publishers for sending a copy.
