Shadow Suee and friends on a new adventure

Suee and the Shadow V02 Suee and the Strange White Light by Ginger Ly

March 15, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

What do you do with a girl like Suee? You give her a mystery to solve. This time, hopefully not one dealing with a not-so-nice Shadow that wants to hurt you. Well, she doesn’t have a shadow this time (that I noticed anyway), but there are some really equally wonderfully wacky and weird things that happen in Suee and the Shadow V02 Suee and the Strange White Light by Ginger Ly and illustrator Molly Park. Like many series for me, I wish I had read […]

“I met a king with seven sons”

The Snowcat Prince by Dina Norlund

March 15, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I met a king with seven sons Each son wanted kingdom won But it was number seven Who would answer the question Who was the worthy one (an original by yours truly) The Snowcat Prince by Dina Norlund was a story that while I enjoyed it, I do not feel I was the perfect audience for it. I had questions where some were answered only in the afterwards/extras of the story and some never at all. It almost felt like something was missing […]

Dona Quixote V01 Rise of the Knight by Rey Terciero

March 11, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Rey Terciero (aka Rex Ogle) made a cute, modern story (a diverse cast) that has a fun take on the Don Quixote story with Dona Quixote V01 Rise of the Knight. The history, culture and modern issues of a Hispanic family unfold while we deal with the idea of trying to be “not too much” but then again being who we are all the while fighting monsters, shapeshifters, ghosts and real world creatures. There are a few cliques (the best friends’ family are “jocks and […]

No strikes, but a ball

Fox Point's Own Gemma Hopper: (A Graphic Novel) by Brie Spangler

March 11, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I enjoyed Fox Point’s Own Gemma Hopper: (A Graphic Novel) more than I thought, yet, not as much as I had hoped. The idea of “only having value is when you play baseball (but not actually, of course),” was the point, but not fleshed out enough to make you believe it. Plus, the father’s “apology” to Gemma at the end is only because now he has “two baseball players in the family” so now he’ll “step up” and “help my daughter. Who, by the way, […]

The Accursed Vampire V02 The Curse at Witch Camp by Madeline McGrane

March 6, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Ages ago I read the first The Accursed Vampire graphic novel story. I do not recommend reading volume two The Accursed Vampire V02 The Curse at Witch Camp that long after reading the first and defiantly not before reading volume one. In fact, I almost don’t recommend this series by Madeline McGrane at all. There is something about this series that is off for me. The biggest part is we bounce through the timelines of the characters and there is no warning this is happening. […]

That’ll teach her to steal the moon

Fae and the Moon by Franco Aureliani, Catherine Satrun and Sarah Starun

March 6, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

What is the point of reading? For fun? To learn? Or to pass the time? Maybe all those layers and more. And Fae and the Moon has a few layers too. Granted, it might not be a seven-layer cake, but it has two or three. Franco Aureliani, Catherine Satrun and Sarah Starun came together to make a cute story about the idea of female empowerment, friendship, family and self understanding. The illustrations are simple, but cute and even the scary parts are lovely in the […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.
Dixie on Track Her Down by Melinda LeighI am just starting Track Her Down and I have read them all in order till now and thought I...
Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
