Thanks to NetGalley and Image Comics for a copy of Friday.

Friday Book One was the first installment of a detective mystery/horror series that takes place in the fictional town of Kings Hill. Two best friends since childhood, Friday and Lance, solve mysteries that occur around the town, and they usually involve some type of local folklore.

This was a very quick read, with a lot of gorgeous artwork. I think this was aimed for YA/New Adult, because it did have a little bit of violence and gore and some language/suggestive material, but nothing too offensive. The characters are just starting college, so that adds up. I really enjoyed getting to know the characters, and seeing a bit into their backstory/friendship while this strange mystery is unfolding in their town. Unfortunately, this ended on a cliffhanger, so I will have to find Book 2 and read that before the third installment comes out in June. Very fast-paced and I am definitely wanting to know how this ends.

A teen detective comes home for Christmas during college and finds herself drawn back into her best friend and fellow detective's orbit... and the strange and deadly things happening in her small New England town. Friday Fitzhugh grew up solving crimes and digging into occult cases with her best friend Lancelot Jones. But as they grew up they separated ways and now Friday is back home for vacation and finds herself once again drawn back to Lance. Friday also might have feelings for him... yet something sinister is happening in town and their lives might be in danger. Can these two find a way to reconnect and solve the case or will one of them be killed? This was definitely a really interesting first book in the series and leaves you with a deadly cliffhanger. I liked the kind of cozy small town vibes the story had and I enjoy the relationship between Friday and Lance. It's like a mixture of post young adult detective novel meets kind of horror mystery. Definitely give it a go!
