Meh. This was really convoluted and a bit boring, and the art was not my cup of tea. It was actually difficult to tell many of the characters apart because so many of their faces looked nearly identical and the details were so shadowy and minimal. I did like some of the imagery and the way there were hidden details in many of the panels (extra shadows on the sidewalk, etc.), but it didn't make up for how disinteresting I found the book as a whole, sadly.

First of all, that cover? Amazing. The creepiest cover I've seen in awhile. Second, the story itself disappointed me. It was left a little open ended and slightly confusing. I thought this had potential but it fell flat for me unfortunately. The art work was great though. Thank you for much for the ARC!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me an advanced copy to review!

This was... ok? The plot was at least interesting enough for me to want to continue but I am personally not a fan of when supernatural things are left more open-ended, though I know that is a lot of people's preferred brand of horror.

The art style was either GREAT, or very much a miss. And in a lot of the art this 12-15 year old girl looked closer to like 25. Instead of being a girl that just had her first period. Which feels weird as there are some questionably sexualized moments and she is basically drawn with the proportions of a grown woman in some panels. In fact I thought she was much older until I saw her in comparison with her mother, where she is actually quite short.

I think this is like a 2.5 for me? I wouldn't read anything else set in this world and I can't really say I even cared about our MC that much as she is not given enough time to grow or at least show herself.

Thanks NetGalley and DC for letting me read this collection in exchange for my honest review. This was an intriguing start that left me wanting more. The story was good and I liked most of the art. The main character is what really grabbed me. I liked the outcast inadvertently making a connection to a devil concept. I really enjoyed the Victorian vibe as it brought history to life. I would definitely read more of this world and series.

This was an interesting start to the series. I found myself definitely interested in the plot and am curious how the story will continue. I am definitely digging the victiorian, satanists, and demons vibes, definitely giving me a Penny Dreadful vibe that I love. The art was a bit not my taste but the story made up for it. The gothic horror story is an interesting one and I would definitely recommend you check it out.
