I wanted to love this book - queer horror graphic novels are a favorite genre for me for sure but this one fell flat for me. The characters felt one-note and showed little growth until we were almost done with the book. The romance also felt very sudden and random and I wished it had been built up more throughout the story. I also didn’t get why nothing was explained about how either character became werewolves. It felt like a lot was missing from this story.

This was really fun! I loved that this had the styling of a black and white horror movie but it didn’t have a high key horror theme to it. It was more urban fantasy/paranormal with the ghosts and the werewolf attacks. I also loved that all the characters got to be teenagers, even when things were starting to go a little sideways. This is getting a four out of five stars!
