As a take on Scooby Doo, most of the cast stays true to character as darker, more realistic versions of themselves haunted by a harrowing investigation in their teen years. However, the author combines Daphne and Velma into one character, named Kerri, and introduce Andy in Velma’s place.
Andy is introduced in a scene
Look, I get the book is about Lovecraftian horrors and that requires me to suspend my disbelief a bit, but this gets into the territory of “look at my super cool original character” aka Mary Sue.
Also, there’s a coming of age story here about Andy, who is a non-binary lesbian, falling in love
Also, there’s a graphic scene early on in the book
