‘Jealousy’ is also about Dru growing up and learning some new life lessons. There’s a lot more world-building in ‘Jealousy’ and it makes for fascinating reading.

A world that Anna currently oversees, and could one day pass to Dru’s leadership. ‘Jealousy’ sees the ‘Strange Angels’ universe grow and expand as Dru is given a first-hand peek into ‘The Order’ who rule the supernatural underworld. “Welcome to the Schola Prima, sister.” Her glossy mouth quirked up at one corner, a half-smile that held no warmth.

Another nasty, tiny little thought struggled in the back of my head, then drowned in the need to find a bathroom really, really quick. Perfect, poreless, and with a sweetly poisonous smile. It’s a case of Anna’s feminine wiles versus Dru’s blunt force, and it makes a wonderful challenge Īnna leaned against the open door, just like an illustration in a fashion magazine. Dru, on the other hand, is more concerned with packing a punch than chipping a nail – so she and Anna make great adversaries. Anna revels in being the only woman amongst supernatural men, and she especially adores being a sacred svetocha. Anna is beautiful and coquettish and the epitome of femininity. and Anna seems to think that two is a crowd.Īnna is a great villainess, mostly because she’s the exact opposite to Dru. But now with Dru at Prima, there are two svetocha. Schola Prima also happens to be where the only other svetocha, Lady Anna, resides. Prima is the main school training facility for wulfen and djamphir. Dru and her band of merry men Graves, Dibs, Benjamin and Ash have made it to Schola Prima. ‘Jealousy’ picks up pretty much where ‘Betrayals’ left off. And his name just happens to be Christophe Reynard.

Turns out Dru's got something Anna wants. There's a brand new svetocha in town - a readheaded vixen named Anna who's got the Order wrapped around her pretty little finger, and who'd rather kill Dru than share the spotlight. Her mom and dad are long gone, her protectors Graves and Christophe kinda want to rip each other's throats out, and a four-hundred-year-old nosferat named Sergej won't stop hunting her until his bloodthirsty army of suckers has torn her to shreds.ĭru's finally made it to the Schola Prima - the Real Deal djamphir training facility and home of the Order - and life is about to get even more Real World. Just when Dru thought she was safe, everything exploded her face.
