Absolutely loved this witchy graphic novel. The world building was well thought out and the story between the witches and vampires was very fascinating. This story was filled with serious troubles whilst including very wholesome main characters which added a lightness to the rivalry. I couldn't stop reading and I can't wait to read more! The illustrations were amazing and filled with such a whimsical feel.

I really loved the forbidding romance between Juliet and Rowen. I loved how sweet, passionate and genuine their love was. However I still have mixed feelings about this book. With the love story being amazing. I for some reason felt myself procrastinating to read the second half of the book, despite it being packed with action. I loved how the first half of the book focused on getting to know the characters and them falling for each other. In the second half of the book, it still focused on their love story but in a different way which I think is why this book fell short with me.

This was a interesting graphic novel about a girl who’s adopted and her bio mother (a person who steals souls, literally) tries to essentially kidnap her for her own selfish reasons.

The illustrations were fantastic and the writing was lyrical and engaging which I think all children would enjoy. 

Besides it’s fantasy elements and the main storyline I feel like this story has a deeper meaning to it. That it doesn’t matter where you come from, it doesn’t determine who you are or who you’re meant to be. Also it shows unconditional love from her father, and how family isn’t always blood related.

Aww haha this was an adorable story about a squirrel who is just discovering snow for the first time! The squirrel is first wary of the snow cause it’s cold and unknown. But a helpful bird teaches squirrel it can be fun! 

Also loved how the author added fun facts all about the winter season at the end of the story. Not only is this adorable, great for children who love the snow, it’s also very educational!

It was a bit slow at first but as the story went on I couldn’t stop reading. This is a very well written, and illustrated comic. I absolutely loved the characters and the world building. I can’t wait to read more!
