Helpful Score: 1
I think everyone else has covered the plot summary so I'm going to skip on by that. This book is a lot of fun and is thankfully angsty vampire free!
The story is both humorous and creepy in good measure making a fun read that you don't want to put down.
Oddly enough, as much as I really enjoyed the handling of supernatural creatures and powers, my biggest praise for McBride is the description of working in a fast food joint. I spent way too many years doing that and McBride nails it just about as perfect as it could be. I could almost smell the grease again.
Another bit of fun is the chapters are titles or lyrics of songs and that really adds to the vibe of the story overall.
Although listed as YA, some of the elements and occasional language may be more for the older end of the YA spectrum. As someone well outside that range it wasn't really an issue for me and it did seem to make the story more realistic for the young twenty-somethings that the characters are.
