It took me a while to decide whether I should go with two or three stars for this one, but I decided to give it the extra one because I did really enjoy several of the characters. Unfortunately, that was pretty much where the positives ended. The whole thing felt like Twilight and Buffy the Vampire Slayer had a baby, and that baby featured more monsters but was less appealing than either of those franchises. I wanted to like it, but it felt very juvenile and meandering and by the end I wasn't really sure what the point was or why I had bothered. I guess I might have appreciated it more if I was a teenager, and hopefully whoever ends up with this copy next will get more out of it than I did.
