I'll definitely rec this to teens, but something about it just didn't resonate with me. I think, maybe, my issue was the frenetic pace of all the action. There's not a lot of downtime in this book, and I wanted some slower spots to really flesh out Billi's world a bit more. Also, the character I most loved ended up with a sword through the chest by the end of the book. BOO!
That said, there's some deliciously gory imagery, lots of cool action and fight scenes, and a very strong and realistic female hero. The nearest parallel I can think of would be Buffy. Good supernatural action read, if that's your thing.
