Before anything, i just want to say that this novel is, as TheLordOfOrcs said, surprisingly well written.
With that out of the way, i want to say that i just found this novel by accident, and man, it was a fortunate accident.
I came with little to no expectations but i found myself reading all of it , even though the supernatural, which was the main thing i came for, has yet to appear in the book.
I can't say that you will surely like it, but you can give it a try.
