Bloodlust & Bonnets by Emily McGovern

geekwayne's review

4.0

'Bloodlust & Bonnets' written and drawn by Emily McGovern is a graphic novel that is a send up of classic Romantic literature. And vampires!

The plot follows Lucy, an unusual debutante in her quest to be her own person. She is joined by others. Sham, a bounty-hunter, wants to find a vampire and kill it. Lord Byron just wants to drink and party. Lucy wants to find the vampire and join her cool cult of vampires. There is also a large psychic (and French thinking) bird, and a talking castle that is particular about when it talks.

I laughed many times reading this story. The humor is literate and amazing. I laughed at Lucy constantly getting large bloodstains on anything she wore. I laughed at the antics of the bird and the castle. There are lots of funny surprises all over this story.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

It's rare that someone writes a book just for you, but it seems that's happened here.

A silly, slightly bloodthirsty, fun romp!

This is a fantastic Lord Byron. It's funny, witty, lighthearted. A perfect afternoon read.
