To be honest, this book was very disappointing. The cover caught my attention, and the plot seemed decent (at least when I read the summary). The prologue piqued my interest; all was going well.. And then I read the first chapter. And the second. The third, fourth, fifth. (I really wanted to give the book the benefit of the doubt..but..) By then I was falling asleep. I don't know if this book was supposed to be scaring me, but it wasn't. Instead, I was bored. 
Believe me when I say I fell asleep. 
I just couldn't read it anymore. It was confusing and very slow-paced. The character wasn't likeable either.. a rebellious, cursing, sarcastic teen that hates the world, basically. Oh, that too, the language. Of course I should know that these kinds of books have curse words in them, but I don't find that having foul language is necessary (just for a more rebellious kick to it I guess), and it's usually it's a turn-off for me.

But it's all an opinion. Someone else somewhere else likes it!:) Maybe you can try, but it's just not the book for me.--
