Let Me Out by Emmett Nahil, George Williams
3.5
I received an eARC copy from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Firstly, I adored the art style in this. it was very reminiscent of Lumberjanes where it is cozy and inviting, but does not stray away from the eeriness the plot entails. I really enjoyed the over all themes and how they tied together the fear of the satanic panic of the 70s and the current "fear" of LGBTQIA+ youth today. The characters were very easy to like and root for - making the villains seem extra evil in contrast. My one complaint of this graphic novel was that I wish it was much longer than it was to fully develop the characters and climax moments. I found the ending to be a tad confusing and rushed due to the length of the novel and I was not really sure ai fully understood how the devil played a part in the end.
