3.5 stars, give or take.

The beginning was promising, and I enjoyed watching the paranormal elements unfold the way they did. But the characters are all archetypes at best — straightforward heroine, bad-boy-with-a-heart-of-gold former player love interest (with bonus European class, English accent, extensive knowledge of literature), caring parents, protective older brother, trusting younger brother, “token black Jewish bi [only] friend” (whose plot function and personality boil down to “gay best friend”), pretty but bitchy bully and her jock other half — and the romance that eventually takes over the plot is heteronormative in problematic ways (specifically that he’s more than a little controlling and possessive, and lashes out violently several times; she actively ignores and/or dismisses her instincts regarding pursuing the relationship further).

All that said, it’s a fairly well-told story, I’m charmed by the characters in spite of myself, and I am genuinely interested in what happens next.
