The zombie apocalypse kicks off at a high school dance after an unfortunate accident with hot-dog, and a wayward spell from Sabrina.
The artwork did a brilliant job of evoking an errie classic horror feel to the story, remincisent of an old zombie movie. It was delightfully gory and you could feel the tension in the air as the characters fight for survival and wait for the hammer that's hanging over their heads to drop.

It's scary how teenage girls think, especially when their popularity hangs by a thread. This book was incredible. The characters, the plot, the motivations; the way, like a magician, the writer makes you look in one direction, while you really should be looking in the other. They way things happened like a game of chess. A chilling, calculating, anxiety ridden adrenaline rush. The twists and turns; honestly I could go on about the novel. I was expecting it to be one thing (that I would no doubt enjoy) and ended up being something completely different that blew my mind. 13 stars 😜
Ugh. Bloody horrific. (In a good way.) And kind of really sad too. I loved it how they tied the Sabrina comics to this and how the witches are involved in ALOT. I also enjoyed that H.P Lovecraft was a villian. The story flowed nice, breaking it up once again from a different characters perspective and a little of their background in this timeline. I'll admit I don't get the whole BFF thing with betty and veronica. The obviously hate each other but whatever. As much as I loved it though it gets 4 stars only because there is so long between issues and this finished on an "interlude" with no real closure to the whole "R.I.P betty storyline. But overall a fantastic graphic novel bind up and the artwork was stunning.
This book gets all the wins.
I NEED A SEQUEL NOW ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
This book was everything. . Everything going wrong but everything going right. Laughs, tears, heartbreak and laughter.
Is it was that I checked Wattpad for BennisTheMenace and even listened to some Dear Evan Hansen and Hamilton songs? I loved this book THAT much 😻😻

It was....alright?
Honestly as much as I wanted to enjoy it. I couldnt. While I appreciate the fact that this inspired so much in the monster genre, the "Frankenstein " monster we all have come to know is more a creation of hollywood. Not this novel. There was no castle, no moment of "it's alive!" The creation of the monster was melodramatic and it's hard to find a creature that is so intelligent and depressed, scary. The narrative was dull (although I do admire Shelley and realise this is the manner in which most novels at that time were written) and was not for me. I did enjoy the imagery I painted in my head but the structure, lack of any real interaction between characters and it's endless segues honestly bored me to death.

If the girls in the Craft were popular. I couldn't put it down.
Well holy hell this book was incredible. It had everything I loved. Comedy. Mystery. Witchcraft. Reminded me of the secret circle novels and The Craft. I liked how the narrator didn't really tell you much about herself, leaving you more focused on The Graces as she was, and how you weren't 100% sure if they all were really witches or just playing up to what the town believed. And god. That ending. I can't wait to read the next one.

The Craft meets The Secret Cirlce. Brilliant.
A brilliant stunning follow up and conclusion to the graces. I couldn't put it down. I was completely lost in a world of magic, and all the twist, turns and consequences that come with it.

Completely intense and magical.
I love this novel so much. I love reading about kings and queens and different parties in court fighting for power and this was a breathtakingly fresh story that completely mesmerized me. I wasn't sure what to expect when I got it as truthfully I only picked it up because of how much I loved "Anna Dressed in blood" I'm excited to read the rest and if your looking for an new original fantasy bowl then this is it. You will not be dissapointed.

And they say Game of Thrones was brutal...
It was honestly so intense, I didn't have enough time to process one emotion before I was in to the next. I don't know whether to laugh, cry, or scream now that I've finished it. I need time to recover before the next book.

Book 4 now please!
Hooked from the very beginning. As usual more twist and turns out of nowhere, and I want more! Although try as I might, I just can't seem to have katherine, although I don't think it was Blake's intention to portray her as a true villain anyway.
