It contains an awful lot of child torture and murder, so check the warnings carefully. It’s all very Buffy-like, though, and I’d recommend it as being something refreshingly different to a lot of mainstream SFF right now.

There were also just some weird, gross moments in this book that felt really unnecessary.
I'll give it this, it was entertaining and was a fairly quick read, so if you just want to not think about the fantasy elements or characters too deeply, and want an entertaining time, you might like this book. I think it's competently written for the most part, for my personal taste I just wish I'd have skipped it.
