I picked this up as a quick, casual read out of curiosity because I wasn't mad about the art style but was curious about the story and the comic. WOW am I glad I did!

I don't even want to explain much about the plot, just read it! If you enjoy dark, action filled comics with mystery of course, you need to pick this one up!

I did not think I would love this as much as I did! It was captivating and suspense filled. I was on the edge of my seat, flying through the pages, dying to know what happens next!

I cannot wait to read the next volume and see what happens next!

Interesting idea, but not really good yet. Will give at least the next volume a try as well.

Gory and mysterious, an excellent graphic novel for adults. Gave me big Stranger Things-meets-Buffy the Vampire Slayer vibes and I absolutely loved it. The art is fantastic and I can’t  wait to continue the series. A nice quick read for Halloween that ended on a cliffhanger.

This was my first horror comic and oh wow, I’m a fan! It’s definitely graphic and includes child death, so please be aware of that.

What a solid first volume. 
Set the foundations for an interesting concept. 
I like the art style and the storyline so far has me keen to pick up the next volume.
