Since The Dire Days of Willowweep Manor, Haley has been becoming a bigger nerd and keeping in touch with Montague. When she’s back for a visit, something strange has happened, again. There’s another pocket universe residents seeking shelter because theirs has imploded. Sybil opened a portal for them to go through, and 5 person + 1 dog came in.

The visitors brought a new genre to the universe, so Willowweep manor isn’t gothic anymore. Suddenly there’s a murder, new rooms stared to appear in the Manor, the original residents went missing one by one, and the universe was slowly disintegrating.

Another problem: Haley is unprepared for the change.

This was just as chaotic & funny as the first book, if not more. Weirdly, I was hooked. Though IMO there’s still many things that could be improved here, overall I enjoyed it. I presume there’d be another book in the future from this series? I’d definitely read it if there is.

While I ADORED the first book, this was fell flat comparatively. I love the characters, the vibes are great, it’s just really the plot of this one that had me not super focused.

I would be interested in more books in this series or just seeing these characters again. This volume however did not live up to the first book.

Thank you so much to netgalley and the publisher for the arc of this one in exchange for an honest review!

This is a YA graphic novel that is a sequel. We follow alternate universes and a woman is trying to help out a universe that is collapsing.

I didn’t read the first one in this series but I probably should have and I would’ve understood it a bit better.

This was a fun graphic novel! I loved the art style of this one and it was pleasing to look at. I also loved the characters. We had some quirky and fun characters.

The story was interesting and kept me engaged throughout.

I would recommend!

The Dire Days of Willowweep Manor is one of my all time favorite graphic novels. When I found out there was going to be a sequel, I was beyond excited. I was even more excited when I was approved for the ARC! Being back in the bizarre world of Willowweep was such a delight. I didn’t think the story could get much better, but it was expanded upon wonderfully. All of our favorite characters are back with new side characters that are just as lovable. I loved the commentary on cross genre stories. The author took all the tropes of a gothic story and paired it brilliantly with the tropes of a classic mystery novel. As always, this book made me laugh out loud. It was such a good time. I really hope the series continues. I would love to see the story cross over with the fantasy genre. There’s so much potential for more tales in this series. I adored this. Immediately preordered and added to my all time favorites shelf!

This is so damn cute and I love the mystery in this story this will definitely be something I recommend at my bookstore. I will definitely be going back and reading the first one

We're back visiting Willowweep Manor, where tropes come to life, and we're quickly thrust into a mystery of colliding universes.

I found the story to be as captivating as the first one in the series, with an additional cast of characters who's personalities immediately leap off the page. With the introduction of the new characters, we're given a new mechanic that takes the story to a new level, and raises the stakes.

I loved getting to see the funny moments, and the endearing ones. I was entertained from beginning to end.

This is the second book in the Willowweep series. While reading the first book is not strictly necessary, it does provide a great deal of context and sets up the universe. Fans of the first book should like this one just as much.

I absolutely loved this sequel, from beginning to end you’ll cheer for our protagonist and the inhabitants of Willowweep Manor. Haley is back at school and delivers a fantastic oral report about her previous adventures. Unfortunately nobody seems to take her seriously. As she leaves school she is meet with Montague, one of the Willowweep inhabitants.

When they finally pass the portal together they are meet with everyone and now they’ll have more unexpected visitors. One thing I love about books is all the different genres and especially when those genres are combined in a unique way. This sequel had so many funny and tragic moments that it was like watching a detective movie unfold its secrets. Can’t wait to continue this amazing saga and follow along our heroine Haley as she becomes an expert in everything bookish.

This was such a cute graphic novel. I liked the mystery behind it all and that it started with another universal characters coming through the portal and changing the mansion.

This volume was even more fun than book 1! A cast of characters from a mystery world stumble into Willowweep Manor, and with them comes a mystery storyline for our heroine and the gang to figure out. I loved the red herrings, the comedy, and the art. This was such a fun way to continue the series and I will read an infinite number of volumes about these characters in this world (or others ;)).

The highly-anticipated sequel to the Willowweep Manor YA graphic novel.

I got such Clue vibes from this book, which made me love it as much as Haley’s gothic romance world. Outlandish, hilarious and over-the-top events make this an unforgettable novel. The Maverick reading list committee added the 1st in the series when I was Chair so I’ll always have a soft spot for these titles. Nefarious Nights releases August 12!

CW: murder, blood, death
