"The youngest in a long line of monster slayers, Izzy Brannick is surprised when her mom moves their family to a new town." Why? If the monsters are all slain, it's surely time to move to fresh hunting grounds! Izzy is obviously a dumbass. "But Izzy’s high school has more secrets than she anticipated" Then she's the only one; everyone else fully expected this. Another reason to think she's a dumbass. This exact story has been done a bazillion times before. No wonder the retarded reviewers at Kirkus think its "original and funny".
