I honestly don't know how to feel about this book. I didn't hate it, but I didn't really like it either. I just didn't get it. I've seen so many reviews that say this book is /scary/terrifying/funny/the bee's knees but I didn't get any of that.

I loved the mythology and folklore in the book, and the only character I truly enjoyed was Carmel. Cas was either too pompous, prideful, or too gooey eyed over a ghost who's murdered countless people. And for some reason he just can't bring himself to kill her, even though she ripped someone IN HALF right in front of his own eyes. I just don't understand. Yes, she ended up not being evil, but where was the logic behind any of this? And he fell in love with her within days. A murdering ghost he just met. Anything passes for love in YA novels. I should just stop reading them all together because all one has to do is look longingly at someone they just met and they are ~~~IN LURRRVE~~~ And then somehow Anna isn't actually a ghost because they can makeout, which makes even less sense than a ghost actually being possessed.

And don't even get me started about how none of the characters, with the exception of Cas' mother and Will, had no emotion what so ever. If I saw my friend being ripped in half, or even just heard about my friends dying gruesome deaths, I would shit my self then go huddle on my bed and cry/pee/vomit simultaneously.

The last few chapters was when the book got really interesting, no surprise there. Too bad the book as a whole couldn't keep me interested as the last chapters did.
