Velveteen by Daniel Marks is a strange book about a girl named Velveteen. Velveteen is dead. She was killed by an evil serial killer whom she continues to torment when she sneaks out of purgatory. Purgatory is being threatened by horrible storms.
I had major issues with this book and finally gave up not willing to force myself to pick the book up again. While the writing was good and the descriptions of purgatory original the story was all over the place and confusing. The book started out with Velveteen haunting her killer (a story which was promising) but then moved into purgatory and then moved through that without much explanation as to what exactly was going on or what the point of Velveteen's story was.
Appropriateness: This book has quite a bit of adult content. The book is very violent and scary (check out the first chapter). There are discussions of drug use and quite a bit of crude sexual talk. I would recommend this book to readers 14+
