Not my favorite in this series so far. Although it did answer question's I had in previous volumes I just felt like something fell flat. At the start of the story Emmy finds herself helping Bernice find Clinton who has been missing most of the day. As it's getting dark Emmy and Bernice wander into the corn field where his footsteps lead. Unfortunately something much more sinister is waiting inside. After finding Clinton, Emmy is shown that she is truly not alone. Emmy is then introduced to her "family", a supernatural group who wander the earth each doing a specific task. It seems that Hester has always created a bit of a stir and you find out why she was cast out of this "family". It was interesting to see other character's similar to Emmy but this volume I felt myself trudging through. In the end we find Emmy where she is meant to be and we realize there are far more danger's to Emmy than just the Haunts in her hometown.

Great as always. Really enjoying it!

I'm curious as to where Emmy's... values? Are leading her. By the looks of it, it doesn't seem like tragedy as an ending should be scratched. I still think that getting her sister out of the equation was the wrong idea, but I have no complains thus far, so...

Speaking of which, those Harrow County Tales with the Butler were SO good! I would KILL to read an entire comic book around him! I guess I just want to see how life was like for Kammi before meeting Emmy, there's a world of possibilities here to exploit...

I enjoyed Harrow County Family Tree Vol 4, but wish there was more back story on the family members.  I think Emmy is smelling her pants a bit without finding out more information.  This volume had a lot of bloody fun.  I can see there is definitely more drama to come.  I'm trying to figure if I'm gonna have to choose between Emmy and Bernice.  We shall see. These books are quick reads.

Fantastic expansion of the universe.
There's throwbacks here to Baba-Yaga and, much as in Sandman, an extended family of immortals.
While there's plenty of potential here I do fear there may be some third tier spinoffs with these characters.
Solid overall

 Oh, this was my favorite volume yet. WOW. First, can we talk about that panel of what Emmy's mother saw when she looked at her baby? Damn, that's going to stick in my memory for a while. Second, the lore in this volume was absolutely incredible! I feel like we learned so much about the world-building in this one, plus there were all of these fascinating characters... and then that ending? My heart. ♥ I love Emmy so much.
