Midnight Train (Working Title)

This is a new original work I'm currently working on. The project currently is a little over 42K words, but I just wanted to post the first chapter or two on here to get feedback from any interested readers of YA/NA fantasy fiction.

"MIDNIGHT TRAIN" follows high schooler Leo Andujar who, after an accident, finds himself on a bewildering, constantly changing train ferrying the souls of the deceased to the afterlife. After a meeting with the train's conductor, Death, Leo learns he's not fully dead yet and that he has a chance to return to the living world once the train makes its next stop there. He becomes a Daemon in the interim, a guardian spirit keeping order aboard the train until he's finally able to return to his old life. But a Daemon's life isn't so easy, and when his presence reawakens an ancient entity, Leo's chances of getting home won't be either.
