Under His Spell: Book 4 by Marie P. Croall
3.0
I’m reviewing this for NetGalley.
Under His Spell is the fourth graphic novel in the My Boyfriend is a Monster series.
Unlike most girls at her high school, Bethany Farmer is focused and does not spend her time thinking about boys. Her best friend, Annie, is definitely boy crazy and talks about them nonstop. Bethany is praised by her teachers, parents, and soccer coach for being focused but is often ridiculed by her soccer mates about being boring because of it.
One day, there is a new guy, Allein, at school that seems to like her. She slowly gets to know a little bit about him and where he came from. When she’s out with some of her friends, Bethany gets attacked and later learns that it Allein’s cousins. She also learns that Allein is a fae and apparently in line for the throne. If his cousins kill him, Bynal, will become king. Will Bethany want to continue to see Allein? If she does, will Allein even be alive?
I thought this one was ok. I’ve read the second and third graphic novel in this series. I definitely like the third one the best. I thought the illustrations could have been much better. I did like that there was a section of the book that was in color. It definitely added a magical element to this paranormal series. I liked Bethany. She actually had a spine and wanted to help Allein in the fighting scenes.
