The prose in this book feels like a cumbersome mashup of creative-writing class and YA stylistic affectations. The main characters are mildly interesting, but the world and plot are incredibly tropey. The author hand-waves explanations of ghosts, magic, vampires/zombies, and a haphazardly dystopian urban fantasy setting from the word go. I propose that ebooks like this be denoted as "epulp" to correlate them with their cheaply-printed counterparts.
