About

You may like this if you want a darker teen supernatural story with horror, humor, and apocalypse stakes, especially near Buffy the Vampire Slayer; Not for you if uneven pacing frustrates you.

Pros: eerie atmosphere; fresh undead ideas; strong cast | Cons: uneven pacing; clunky writing; limited closure
