I liked it. Great if you like funny, personal first person POV. Vesper, the main character, is quick & snarky and the story moves super quickly so it's an easy read. Fun.

I thought some of it was a little cliche and unbelievable. Mild spoiler:

So many pentagrams.

It's not doing anything deep really. Reads a tiny bit YA for me. 

I would have trust issues for life if I was Vesper.

Would recommend for an easy palette cleanser
