Blackwater is utterly adorable… as much as a horror can be adorable. I loved the story and the very real feelings of the characters. The art was perfect and I loved how the action was drawn. I particularly enjoyed the diverse representation in this novel, which was done really well. The father and son relationship was a little weak though, but not enough to spoil the rest of the story. A re-read for sure.
Graphic: Gun violence and Violence
Moderate: Ableism, Animal death, Bullying, and Chronic illness
