The illustrations are really good and dark. 
 However I think people have to put good drawing aside and think about plot for a second. It was disjointed and didn't make a lot of sense. The bulk of the book was confusion and hard to understand, and just like a typical "book for reluctant readers" aka... short books to make money off of. The book ends and you have to buy another 18 dollar book. 
 I'm sad to notice a trend of things like this. Claiming it'll make kids want to read and then charging a lot of $$ for another book in the series. 
 For example this book had a great idea but it spent time jumping around the first 50 pages are describing a teen that you will never understand. Like other readers I kept flipping back to see what i missed. Hopefully the other books will be a little less like this, after all it is the first one.
