„ALS MOM AUFGEMACHT HAT, WAR NICHTS DRIN. ABER SIE HATTE NUR EINEN NORMALEN SCHLÜSSEL.
DOCH MIT DEM HIER...
IST'S, ALS OB MAN DIE BATHÖHLE ÖFFNET.“

Durch den Wechsel im Zeichenstil wirkte es, als sei dies eine ganz andere Reihe, aber dann kamen die Schlüssel!

The further adventures of the Locke family- the big highlight of this volume is the expansion of the magic keys in the storyline. We see the world open up in that way in this collection.

The Locke's vs The Evil. Something's gotta give.
dark mysterious fast-paced

This is the point where things usually get bogged down, and I started to think it would because the key count is going up. But NO. Ty is a genius on the calendar and has much more intelligence than I gave him credit for, but Bode, oh Bode, you are still my fav.

Locke and Key kicks it up a notch with everything coming to an explosive ending for this volume.

Up until now the Locke kids have gotten together to take down the evil forces around their town and in their own home. Dodge makes some big moves, and just when you think our heroes have a chance to find out what she/he really is...well let's just say things don't go there way. Plenty of high school drama, past reveals, murders and more all come to a head in this amazing volume.

And it is just that. Amazing. I enjoyed the series up till now but this is a fantastic volume with a lot of tension on every page. I really enjoyed the background, learning about Dodge, but it's when the Locke children are in danger that you really feel it. Not to mention the art is great, really adding a overall campy feel but when the violence strikes, it can be extremely disturbing.

I can't wait to read the final two volumes. THIS is amazing so far. A 5 out of 5.

DAMNIT! I'm not crying YOU'RE crying!
