i feel like the ending was rushed quite a bit. there were a lot of different questions that could have been answered but just wasn't. it was a bit disappointing, but i did enjoy the book. i love the cast of characters and the use of ghosts and lycanthropy (big fan of werewolves. can you tell? love a novel about werewolves that isn't some weird hetero romance story). i'll probably draw fanart or something. auugh, SOOO WISH the story was more fleshed out. there felt like there were a lot of holes :-(

This was very cute (in the way a werewolf, ghost, mystery graphic novel can be) and I liked it, I just wish it was a tiny bit more detailed both with the characters and the magical elements.

I liked it I just don’t think it was really my style. Good for people who like the monster side of the supernatural.

Blackwater is a cute graphic novel exploring friendships, sexuality, and gender with a supernatural lens. Tony, Eli, and Marcia make a great mystery crew and hopefully if the story is continued into a series, Biff will come around. It does feel somewhat unfinished, like Taylor's story with the gang is just starting and the book is an origin story.
