What a fun, spooky story! I'm glad I picked it up.

The art style was wonderful, the characters were depicted in an expressive manner and the setting was incredibly atmospheric. What I enjoyed the most was the characters -- they're vibrant, easy to like and well developed. The romance here was so cute and, honestly, the depiction of developing a crush was just incredibly accurate. The mythos of the story was uncomplicated but developed enough not to leave many questions unanswered, the threat sufficiently scary. I really enjoyed the Horseman, the final scene and Victoria's development. 

Listen. I am slightly reviewer-blocked today so here's a TL;DR: it's a fun, interesting graphic novel that's perfect for Halloween. Just trust me.
