Definitely for the 14-17 age category. Some of the writing felt too easy, and sometimes the narration was a bit clunky. The only reason I got it was because it was free for kindle.

It was a quick read, but I was looking for more substance and a main character that didn't get hurt in every chapter.

Awesome fast read. I really likes all the characters, especially the main character's father. For once in a YA adventure, the parents were present, cared, and weren't idiots. He was a tad too understanding, but he had to be for the plot to work. I also had a slight problem with how easy two of the characters forgave another after he terrifyingly attacked them...but I let it go. The character was too fun to leave out. I recommend this to all YA paranormal fans out there who don't need truckloads of angst to enjoy a good story. There is angst, but not Twighlightesque whining and brooding angst. Lol!

Alex is a tomboy who thinks nobody really notices her. Paired with popular cheerleader, Misty, for a school project she is cross to learn her notes have been left. When she heads over to the area where Misty says she recalls having her backpack, Alex is attacked.
Before we know it, Alex realises the truth...there are monsters. They’re very real, and sometimes they can be hiding behind familiar faces.
Enter popular boy Sam - object of Alex’s not-so-secret crush - and we begin a rather unlikely foray into a hunt for something living beneath their town. There’s even the rather uptight school librarian who becomes an ally...
Yes, this reads in a rather contradictory fashion. Yes, the story is scanty in interest. There are monsters, and our main character falls in love with a monster. It’s Buffy...years on, rehashed, but all very familiar. Doesn’t mean it’s not entertaining, but I’d rather watch the series!
