Micheline Helsing is one in the long line of her family history of hunting down and excorcising ghosts and killing the undead. If you want something creepy but not quite "horror" pick this book up. I found it similar to the show Supernatural in the scare element.
I enjoyed this read. There were creepy descriptions that let my mind run wild with the ghosts and monsters depicted. The world itself was interesting, turning san francisco into a ghost infested city. Plus how the capturing works was awesome, and well explained.
The side characters were a little cliche and tropey, it was hard to like Micheline at first and then I realized how much of a hardened, and broken person she was and how that fit the way her character acts.
Some of the dialogue wasn't the best written, and there was an escape scene that I thought was a little too convenient with how things played out.
Overall it was a fun, spooky but not necessarily scary read.
It's left open for a sequel and I definitely hope the author is working on one...
