This is one of those times when I didn't read the dust jacket (should've! Oh, I really should've.) and just snapped up the book because it could be had for a mere quarter. A quarter for the charity store, right? That's a good deed. A better deed would've been done by this person's editor and whomever is working at Delacorte Press. Basically this novel is a combo of "The Village" + some teen romance + a pinch of the Hunger Games' bow-and-arrow skillset + toss in some nuns and the undead, and you're off to a ripper of a book.

Except, yeah. It sucked. So, maybe your average undead loving pap reader will dig it. (Not to pun. But I did! Shoot me! -- but not with a bow and arrow.)
