The more I read of Chloe Neill the more I like her work. I was a little hesitant to pick up her YA novel becuase I loved her Chicagoland Vampire novels so much and I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to move from Adult Urban Fantasy to YA Fantasy. But she did a good job. I will definitely continue to read this series. One of the main things I like about both sets of her novels is the female friendship aspect. She writes female friendships so well you wish that you were in that group or you hope that you have that kind of relationship with your friends. 
 The plot was an interesting twist on the zombie story although the "zombies" were more talked about than actually seen, but there are more novels in the story so we shall see. The story started right away with history and world building given as the plot went along instead of taking up more than half the book to introduce everyone / thing before getting to the main point of the stor itself. 
 The characters were likable. Even when they were supposed to be doing "stupid stuff" or getting into something they shouldn't I was never irritated with them. So far, there only seems to be one "love" interest, but from what I've read I think there is another one coming up. I don't know how I feel about this. I really don't like love triangles that are so popular in many YA novels. I think that the initial person the character is attracted to should be the one. They should focus on developing that relationship. But as earlier I guess we will see how things work out in the upcoming novels.
