This Volume serves as the start (?) of a prequel arc to Erica Slaughter's story. I enjoyed it.
It shows the tragedy that led Erica to the Order of St. George, along with her initiation into the society.
I really liked learning Erica's story. How she got into the monster hunting world with her stuffed animal token. It was quick. I liked the art style. I'm definitely ready for the next Volume.

Maybe one of my favorite volumes so far and this whole series has been fantastic.

This is mostly just giving us the origin story of Erica, but that's okay, she's a great character. You find out what happened to her parents, and how she became a hunter. You get to see a deeper look into the Slaughterhouse and how they run their shit as well, which is to say very screwed up boarding school like way with murdering training demons.

But yeah, fantastic to say the least. Great character growth, amazing art as always from this series, and I can NOT wait to see where we go next. A 5 out of 5.

in this fourth volume of something is killing the children, we dive into erica’s backstory. we see not only how she survived her monster the first time, but how she faces it a second time. we also learn more about how the order operates, and i can’t wait to learn even more about that in the future volumes!

Erica Slaughter’s origin story is unlike anything you’ve ever heard and pray could never possibly happen to anyone. But damn if it isn’t a page turner.

This volume gave us more of a background of how our MC joined the order but I wish it went into more detail.
