The beginning was a little slow and there were some slight grammatical errors that my type-A ass noticed but otherwise I had a lot of fun with this book! This is my first experience with a demon possession book and I'm happy that it was this one. I can't wait for the movie!

This had A LOT of potential to be a thought-provoking look at what religious men believe women should (and shouldn’t be), but it ended up falling short (for me personally) due to its shorter page length. I would’ve loved to see this story expanded into a full length novel so the story could grow in more menacing and dark ways. However, I do think that even though this story was short that the author did a wonderful job at world building, making you care about Sophie, and creating a compelling overall concept.

This book had so much going for it and then by the end all I could think about was “I hope that there is justice for Hannah.” Nope, because it ends before they go to court. Janie’s character got old really fast (which I feel bad because she is a severely traumatized child) all due to Christopher completely taking her side and gaslighting Hannah to the point of her having a mental breakdown (also hitting her didn’t help). And Piper as a whole was just infuriating because I’m sure there are people in the Department of Child Services that are just like her and it made it seem like she fell head over heels in love with Christopher to the point we’re she was breaking so many rules because of him. I think the author did a great job with keeping the story compelling because there were a bunch of times where I struggled putting the book down because something crazy happened, and she brought each character to life no matter how small they were to the overall story, but the ending really was the determining factor of me giving this 3 stars instead of 4 stars. #JusticeForHannah

I'm more versed in the comics focused on Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew) and Silk (Cindy Moon) than I am with Peter Parker and the other Spider-People, but I will say that this collection does a good job with making me interested in wanting to learn more about them. Really engaging story and happy that it's been brought to film (albeit loosely). The only think I would change (and this is just my OCD talking) would be to order the issues included by chronological order (like instead of separated by character run and such). Otherwise, I'm hoping they bring more of the Spider-Verse story to the screen in the future (preferably some of the non-Peter Parker Spideys).

I went into this thinking this was going to be super raunchy based on the cover (the irony), but I was surprisingly proved wrong (in the best way) and was given an enticing story with well-written characters. The fact that I actually want to read the other books in this series (a first for me considering I’m not a super fan of smutty books) is a huge win and I can’t wait to see where the author takes Vlad and Leila’s story.

The story felt a bit incomplete and we really don’t spend that much time with Eva and Vivi together, but the artwork is absolutely gorgeous and I would definitely read more comics and graphic novels that Vieweg does. I also want to watch the movie adaptation of this story in the future.

A little lacking in character development for my taste personally but the plot was fun and I wasn’t bored at any moment during this. In fact, I had trouble with putting it down when I needed to go to bed lol.

Story wise it absolutely (unfortunately) stands the test of time and it’s definitely something I think all comic book readers should read at least once. However, I feel like there was not enough focus on V and what they’re trying to accomplish and I feel like that was needed in order for me to give it a perfect score.

As someone who grew up adoring the 'Royal Diaries' franchise in my younger years, I very much enjoyed everything about this book. There was a potential for the pacing to drag along, but each chapter was filled with so much rich history on an overall scale that I was entranced from beginning to end. While I'm aware that this is a work of fiction, I still think that it's a very important book to be read and is definitely one that I will be recommending in regard to the untold (or lesser told) histories of influential African Americans (and even more so African American women). I'm looking forward to learning more about the life of Belle Da Costa Greene.

I liked this a lot more than I thought I would and kind of saw it as a Black Mirror-esque look into what climate change could look like with plastic taking on a mind of its own with a twist of the superhero-y traits that usually come from DC. I wasn't big on Casey being obsessed over to the point where a technological fantasy world was created by the lead male (who you're supposed to feel bad for given his condition but find it hard to with his creepiness), but hey, at least she wasn't resorted to being a sex slave and was admired for her smarts and fighting skills. Still a book that I think everyone who is enamored by comic books should read at least once.
