Husband Material picks up two years after the first novel in the series. Returning to the lovable duo Luc and Oliver as they explore their relationship through vignettes that feature a different friend's wedding and eventually their own.

Overall this novel is a great continuation to one of my favorite books from last year. The reason this gets knocked down to 3 stars is the back half of the novel turned me off a bit. There were far too many streams of consciousness circular rants from Luc, which fits his character but are really not fun to read after the first. I had to skip ahead through a couple of them as they really not fun to get through. My other complaint is the lack of character growth, it feels like when a character would take a step forward they would then take a huge step back a few pages later. 

The ending was a major letdown as well. it just seemed off. It felt very rushed and there wasn't really any closure to it. It had a TV show getting canceled at the last-second vibes. I was just a bit disappointed with it. 

If you enjoyed the first entry I think you would like this as well, but the vibe is completely different than the first entry to the series to go in with that in mind.

 Where does one even begin with this one...

Silk Hills is a psychological horror set in the small town of Silk Hills. The story itself follows the ex-marine turned private investigator Beth, who is hired to search for the missing man of a lumber corporations CEO. There is something more sinister hunting Beth trying to stop her from finding the truth.

This graphic novel leans very heavy into the horror elements, which left me saying "WTF" a few times. The general vibe is something on the level of X-Files but a few shades darker. What I liked about the novel is the choice that was made with how color is used. The novel starts out in muted yellow tones, but as it goes on and Beth gets closer to the truth more color is added.

My only complaint is that some plot points hit super fast and then moved on. I think this story would be better told as serialized story over multiple volumes, so there can be more build up tension over time before the conclusion.

With that being said I really did enjoy what I read. I am still trying to wrap my head around it, I will be revisiting it in the future to see if I missed anything during my first read through.

Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with a review copy in exchange for an honest review.

When I heard about this I was super excited about the idea of a Marvel x Card Game type cross over. But what I had in my head vs. what this ended up being were completely different.

The story feels very run of the mill, the card game aspect while a central feature really is not a playable card game like the story telling of yugioh and others of its ilk. It was just your run of the mill Marvel story, which isn't a bad thing but as I said before it wasn't what I though I was getting..

It just felt like a bit of a let down overall.
