Beautiful art. Gripping and full story. Compelling characters. One of the best graphic novels I’ve read in a long time.

I like it. The art is good. It did start to get a bit confusing during the fight scenes, but overall, the art shows character. The color palette works great for the night scenes. Different and interesting interpretation of werewolves and vampires and their relationships.

This is for a younger audience but I found it a little predictable, as soon as

cat showed up out of nowhere it was obvious she was a vampire

. I did read this at like 3 am so take it with a grain of salt! But I wish there was more depth here, especially with Artie and the other kid characters, the adults' backstory was given far more depth than Artie's character. However the focus on family and community was nice to see, ESPECIALLY the origin story of werewolves, and the forest scenes had some fantastic illustrations!!
