a pretty good supernatural take on heathers! the first third of this book was fine, but the final third was what really made me excited. the escalation of events is sick. the style is wonderful, too! i also think that becca’s dynamic with her mom is really realistic and interesting. though it’s predictable, i’d recommend this book for anyone who just wants a little thrill.

Loved the art in this graphic novel, it’s so beautiful! Queer werewolf teen drama with a hint of murder and mystery and an easy to follow plot.

dark emotional mysterious sad tense

2.0

Not very fleshed out, felt like a movie. But I did have fun with the feminist werewolf cult thing. I like the ideas brought up a lot more than the execution. It's a "the more you think about it, the more it doesn't make sense" kind of book.

Cuz basically the original werewolf pack is dedicated to only killing the bad guys, but then Arianna makes them eat just any guy basically. And the others are grouped into it and don't really have a choice or else they'll starve. Guess they can't just eat a bunch of deer? Will they die of they don't eat people or can they sort of subsist living off animals, like the vegetarian vampires from Twilight And? I guess not? And at the end of the story when Becca and Marley choose to eat Arianna's heart to not be werewolves anymore, it must have been a hard choice right? Like they've interacted with and have been threatened by so many predatory boys and men... it must have been hard to just give away your "turn into a wolf" card. And also Mandy seems to be the only one of them bothered by killing guys who weren't creepy? Like who were actually innocent? Rest in piece that one guy who actually wanted to talk to Marley and get to know her as a person, he didn't deserve to die 😢. Also I thought Mandy did the right thing honestly. The more I think about this story the more confused I get. Like I love feminist themes but things don't make sense in this book if I think about it too much 😂.

oddduck's review

fast-paced

3.5

[Note on content warnings: eating disorder refers to Becca's mom, who is overly concerned about her own weight; she does not make any comments about Becca's weight or eating habits.

Does it count as cannibalism if they're werewolves? I think so, hence the tag.]
