This was a little slow to get going for me, but it gets better as you go. I think there were too many side characters. It seemed like a few were just there for "quirk" factor. The mystery was interesting, easy to solve, but there was an added factor I didn't guess. I liked Dale. I like James. I think my big issue is that it felt like I was reading fanfic that wasn't supposed to be fanfic. Way similar to Supernatural, it was hard to separate it in my mind. (It doesn't help that I'm not Team Wincest.)
