No costumes. Bland designs. Take away everything that makes them great characters. Boring. Why are they the same age?

PARDON????

Okay théorie 1: c'est un réseau qui fait disparaitre les enfants mais pour les placer sous protection (c'est pourquoi Joyce est dans les dossiers). La mère de Blythe n'est pas morte, elle a elle-même disparue car on a pû remonter jusqu'à elle. Les organisateurs de Deep-Down sont des parents/gardiens qui n'aiment pas ça. Tom King a soit découvert tout ça ou fait partie d'une famille et il a pû remointé jusqu'aux parents de Blythe. Il s'en est pris à sa mère et c'est pour ça ils l'ont fais disparaitre. 

Théorie 2 : Blythe meurt dans le tome 2. Ca colle, elle a frôlé la mort plus d'une fois, et la mort fini toujours par rattraper. Et elle a hesité à sauvé Martial, alors elle n'hésitera pas à se sacrifier pour quelqu'un à qui elle tient. 

Le point négatif vraiment : le outing pas trop réglé, et Aly reglé trop vite je trouve. Sinon wow. De bons retournements de situations, un mystère aux petits oignons, et les personnages sont vraiment pas mal.

Covenant, Vol. 2 by LySandra Vuong, explodikid

adventurous mysterious tense fast-paced

5.0

Okay, so I had the opportunity to read an e-arc of the first volume, and I just loved it. LySandra Vuong blessed us with this wonderful story. I also want to thank Oni Press and NetGalley for allowing me to read another volume of this series. 

Ezra and Sunny are back where we left them: ready to fight a demon, but things get real’ bad real’ quick as everyone starts to suspect Sunny when his eyes turn black. So now they have to look after him even closer and ALL THE TIME. But between the stress and the demon lords, the danger might be greater than they think. 

Gosh, it was great. The characters, the designs, the drawings, the hot priests, the hot demons, Father Aaron fighting an old enemy? Come on, this one was even better than the first volume. I just love this story, and it deserves to be a bestseller. Please, just read it.
