Cleo's little brother is missing and she believes she knows where he went. So, with the help of her friends, they go looking for him.

I absolutely loved this. The art looks genuinely cinematic, the cast of characters are diverse and all feel distinctly human, and the plot feels efficiently paced and the twists are genuinely shocking and heart breaking.

I wish the filmmaking aspects weren't lost after the first third, it would have been cool for more 'found footage' style frames. I also would have liked to explore the relationships between the five characters more, especially Lux and Will.

When a new app 'Crave' offers the students of David's school the opportunity to satisfy their cravings, the school jumps on it with dire and potentially fatal results.

I absolutely loved the art style in 'Crave' and Charlotte, Albert and Sofia in particular felt like such visceral characters. The premise is fascinating and the execution gripping.

admittedly it did feel a little fast-paced and the stakes didn't feel as high as they could've. Overall I enjoyed 'Crave' and would read again.
