So, I've had the Cemetery Girl Trilogy on my list for FAR too long. I'm thrilled to finally be getting to it – because, thus far, I'm loving it. The Pretenders is a dark beginning to Calexa's tale, but it's hard not to get invested in it.
Something Is Killing the Children #3 brings us back to a world in which monsters are real. And they have a taste for children. Naturally, this is a dark and gory series, but isn't without hope. Even if that hope rests on the shoulders of a gruff young woman.
Most of the time, I really enjoy tie-in graphic novels and the like. That said, I feel like I could have skipped Stranger Things: The Bully and not felt like I was missing out. It is a bit of a "take it or leave it" sort of story; forgive me for saying.
This series is just as sweet and charming as I remember! Granted, it hasn't even been a month since I read the second volume, so there's that...Anyway! I'm still enjoying this witchy slice-of-life tale.
Coco lives in a world where magic exists. Unfortunately, she's no magician. That's the one thing she's desperately wanted to be ever since she was a little girl. However, she has also been told that magicians are born, not made. Until one day, Coco sees something that changes her life. Now, she's a witch in training.
It's always a bit surprising when a series does a time jump, no matter how short. That said, it often also leaves room for more character development and growth. So I was happy to see that happen in Scott Pilgrim Vol. 4.
Monsters are real, and they're hungrier than ever. Heroes are also real, though they're not quite what we expected. At least, the one in Something Is Killing The Children #2 certainly doesn't appear to be your everyday hero.
Just A Minute: One Minute reviews Jill and the Killers #1
Okay, I have a confession to make: I'm a sucker for the "journalist getting thrown into the supernatural deep-end" trope. So the second I saw Haunt You To The End, I knew I had to read it. That it also included corporate dystopian elements just made it all the more compelling.
Once upon a time, a man named Tatsu was a fierce member of the Yakuza. He was known as the Immortal Dragon and infamous for everything he did – and survived. But that was years ago. Now he's a househusband and quite dedicated to the job.
