Loved everything about this including the LGBTQ+ rep. I would have liked for this to be maybe 2 more chapters longer. The ending felt rushed. I would have liked to see more of Pamela and Alice in a relationship.

Definitely a page-turner with a great art style. A few parts toward the end start to feel a bit preachy and forced, but I still enjoyed the read. There’s a lot of Nina Tucker energy here, which…if you know, you know. O.o

I appreciate that Ivy gets to kill people in this. I feel like it's an interesting origin for her, and I liked that it kind of leaned into the horror of what she can do. Loved that she's gay. A nice gothic-ish way to end my reading for this year.

It is a really nice take on a poison ivy origin. It is definitely not a light read, and it might be triggering for some. The characters are well developed and the plot does not feel rushed.
