I read this once I had read the web comic (which I also recommend!). Schaeffer has created wonderfully morally grey, compelling characters who are quickly put in life-threatening positions and forced to confront the consequences of their choices. While the book employs common fantasy creatures most readers will be familiar with (e.g. vampires) Schaeffer has used the familiar supernatural tropes in -at times-a unprecedentedly dark and original way for YA literature.
