Good slow burn slightly spoopy very goth slice of life. This volume ended on a huge wtf moment and I cannot wait to read the next. I like this series a lot, but it absolutely is a not for everyone enjoyment. Sophie's art, as always, is expressive, diverse, emotive, and relatable.

Wet Moon Vol. 5: Where All Stars Fail to Burn is a flash flood during a hike.

This was the volume where I fully and completely fell in love with Mara Zuzanny. Lots of fun, generally.

I Devoured this one in one sitting. I think it's my favourite so far.
I love how this series has evolved from gothy teen angst to weird twilight zone wtfery, while still keeping a focus on well developed, believable characters.

Oh, Wet Moon. So angsty and drama-filled. I adore it. I love Ross Cambpell's pudgy little characters with the big eyes and the confusion about their love lives. I love that the most tomboyish main character (beloved Trilby) is also the only outright straight female main character. I love the weird side stories and the feeling that they're all on the point of converging. I honestly cannot put a Wet Moon book down after I open it until it's finished.
Volume 5, Where All Stars Fail to Burn, is where the shit starts to go down. Things start happening faster. We watch Cleo kinda sorta start to fall in love with a close friend, and also deal with her sister Penny's big secret. We watch Trilby and her geektastic boyfriend, Martin, be just outright adorable, and Martin gets to meet Trilby's parents. We watch Audrey finally stand up for herself. Myrtle becomes even more psychotic, and Fern becomes even more unbelievably weird. We still don't know who the masked vigilante is, though I've got some theories going. And of course, we get to see the big softball game. Campbell, that incredibly talented SOB, leaves the book with a heart-breaking killer of a cliff-hanger - I almost fell out of my airplane seat in shock that he would leave the story like that FOR MONTHS! Until the next book comes out! ARGH! It sets my teeth on edge just thinking about it, even now, and I read this book two and a half months ago!
Bottom line, 5 stars. I cannot get enough of this series. It's killing me that I might have to wait a whole year for the next one. Damn you, Ross Campbell!!!

Everyone still looks like giant, sexy babies to me, but I'll say that Campbell has gotten me back with the story. I didn't think that I would want the sixth volume so quickly after reading this, but he's got me.

Not as good as the previous volumes, but the ending is the reason I gave four stars. Shocking.
