Thank you to NetGalley and BOOM! Studios for providing me an advanced reader copy of this title in exchange for an honest review.

First of all, and this may be obvious from the title, if depictions of children being harmed are triggering for you I would not recommend you read this book. The art does not shy away from showing graphic depictions of the injuries the monster inflicts on its victims, so read at your own discretion. 

Anyway, I've been looking forward to reading this series for a while and feel it surpassed my expectations. I enjoyed that the story contains a fair amount of mystery, by the end of the first volume we still understand very little about this world and the monsters that lurk in it. 

The pacing was done well and effortlessly grasped my attention. These first issues were mostly plot-motivated, but I look forward to learning more about our protagonists. Specifically, I'd like to learn what drives Erica, and how she became involved in the monster-hunting business. It seems clear that this volume is just an introduction, and a substantial amount of worldbuilding has already been planned. I definitely intend to follow along with this story as it continues to develop.
