House of Night #1 by Karl Kerschl, Kristin Cast, Joëlle Jones, P.C. Cast, Kent Dalian

1.0

Well...
That says enough doesn't it? As you can see I gave it 1 star, so yes, it kinda sucked. I love the House of Night series. Well, I love some parts of it. Some characters of it and definitely NOT Zoey. Just wanted to state that fact.
I did not enjoy this graphic novel, even though I really love graphic novels in general. I got it from Netgalley so I didn't get to see the art work in "real". But I really disliked the art. Some parts were good but other parts were just awful. Not my thing, no. And the story seemed really confusing to me even though I know the first House of Night book by heart. Yes, it isn't exactly the first story but more like what happened between after the first and second book. The only positive thing I have to say about it that Zoey's little brother, Kevin was in it. I loved that she was protecting him. Maybe that's just me as an older sister talking but Zoey ought to seek more contact with him in the actual series. I admit, she has been busy trying to just stay alive... or just dating so many guys... ugh. Another thing I liked were the stories the nerd herd and Zoey read about. Especially the one with Cleopatra.
So I wouldn't recommend this graphic novel to anyone. I'm glad I never bought this one since it would've been a waste of my money.
