5.0

I'm a mix of emotions after finishing Northranger by Ray Terciero and Ben Indigo. This book is beautiful.

We delve into the lives of Cade and Henry as they deal with their emotions and feelings towards each other. There's mystery and intruige but it seems that it is the mystery side of things that comes between Cade and Henry. What secrets are being hidden by Henry's family?

The emotions that were unravelled throughout this book was a mix of heartache and happiness. Having that feeling that you must remain hidden by hiding your true self was such a delicate subject that I feel was really well done in this book.

Also, the illustrations throughout this book were beautiful and so nicely done. Everything was clear in regards to motions, emotions, etc. A job very well done! 

5 star read!!

Review:

This was my first ever graphic novel! I was super nervous to start, due to my dyslexia I can be a skim reader so I was scared I was gunna miss parts and not realise what was going on😅 but i actually found it super easy to follow, the illustrations, are incredible and really bought the story to life making it so easy to follow and kept me so absorbed I read this in 3 sittings! If I’d had a day off work I’d have read it in a day😅

I’m not usually a thriller or horror fan (i much prefer my characters alive and fighting dragons😅) but I loved all the horror movie references and how the storyline reflected that of a horror movie! I loved the fast pace of the book and the timeline jumps were easy to follow and kept the story flowing! I loved the use of white and black borders to show night and day and all the illustrations are ✨stunning✨

Trigger warning, both Cade and Henry receive homophobic comments, and there are also mentions of racism and depression and suicide don’t forget to look after yourselves my loves🥰

For lovers of:

• Graphic novels
• Horror movies
• LGBTQ+ 
• YA
• Coming of age stories
• Cowboys 🐮
