3.5

This was fine, the writing was strong and I really enjoyed the sense of found family and the local elements, but I didn't always like some of the characters, including the narrator, and I thought the book did best when it wasn't trying hard to be funny, especially in the horror moments. Also, the last thing I needed from a pontianak story was her falling in love with a man lol 

Nitpick that annoyed me: He recognises every other more obscure supernatural creature instantly, but for the sake of plot it takes chapters for him to realise it's a pontianak?
