Full of humor and wit, and a quirky, rounded diverse cast. And such a unique premise. A book hasn’t made me laugh this hard in a long time! Another one of my FAVORITE reads this year!

The cover and title drew me in and I was not disappointed! Outside of being a coming-of-age story, it also offers a tale of finding where you belong. Kay (our reluctant protagonist) is agonizing about having to attend a Church Youth Group. Her expectations of dread include religious lessons, sing-alongs, and awkward ice breakers. Unfortunately for Kay, her expectations are met- with some added demonic possession, holy weapons, and new friends! I had a blast reading through this well-paced story and would recommend it to anyone interested in an action-packed take on what would be a “typical” youth group. The artwork here is solid and the action was easy to follow. McCurdy’s paneling is excellent and the facial expressions are hilarious and help carry the voice of each character. Huge thanks to First Second Books and NetGalley for this ARC!

Absolutely loved this fun graphic novel. The ecumenical take on a Supernatural-esque story is incredibly well done. I’d love to see more stories in this world. Highly recommend.

Kay is going to a new church to appease her mother, but she has no intention on staying. But when she stumbles upon the youth group leaders in the woods fighting demons, she is shaken, but curious. The super annoying, goody church girl is an awesome fighter? Along with the another kid and the pastor? What is happening?
Maybe youth group doesn't suck as bad as Kay thought.

I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would. The art style is cute and at times pretty comical, the plot was intriguing and mysterious while also playful and fun, and the jokes and comedy were great. As someone who grew up Catholic (I now consider myself agnostic) I thought this graphic novel was super funny and quirky and I’m interested in reading the second installment already! Also, Kay is my spirit animal. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC!

Demon slaying by teenage evangelical Christians! A teen is signed up by her mom to join a church youth group, only to discover that they hunt and exorcise demons in their spare time. This was a lighthearted story that honestly didn't go as deep as I would have liked it to. It felt like it was rushed and ended too quickly with many loose ends.

I liked the characters, as well as the story, but some of the events happened so quickly it left me wondering if they were really final. I hope to read more by this author, and I hope Jordan Morris takes the time to go more in depth in future stories--the characters were great, I just wanted more meat.

I was drawn to this book because of the cover and the summary. It lived up to both and was a great read! The main character, Kay, is a bit lonely and with recently divorced parents. The story starts with Kay being forced to attend a Church Youth Group while her mother attends her own services. She thinks she knows what she is getting into and at first it does appear to be like any Youth Group. But, as she learns, camp leaders are actually out fighting demons and performing exorcisms. The story was well told and cohesive, though the ending was a bit abrupt. I appreciated that while the focus was on the Christian demon slaying group, they also include other religious groups fighting demons nearby. This made for a more believable and inclusive setting. The art was well rendered and colorful. The emotions on the characters faces were clear and the artist had a great flair for humorously exaggerating this. I will be recommending this book in my school library. (Thank You to First Second and Netgalley for the ARC)

Perfect for anyone that wants Buffy-vibes but not the exact same kind of story. I loved the 90s throw back, and the cheesily repurposed pop songs, with a side of impressive demon-slaying. This was exactly what I hoped it would be based on the cover.
