The Book of Blood and Shadow by Robin Wasserman

Did not finish book.

Apparently lost old books and Latin translations aren't my thing. Additionally when your book consists of said Latin translations, old books, and elite old schools then maybe you should clarify what year it is because I thought it was a period novel (the way the main character spoke didn't help matters either - needs lessons in 'Teen') until the mentions of Converse, jeans, WiFi and Wikipedia.

Also I found the layout really frustrating with all the super-short chapters (125 over 4 parts - I checked). Last I checked a sentence about someone being dead wasn't a chapter.
