I really enjoyed this spooky gothic fantasy adventure. Vespertine is the first in a new series about a young woman on the run from the Church because of her troubled alliance with a dark spirit that inhabits her mind. A real page turner dripping with atmosphere. An especially great read for folks who are into the The Witcher or the game Bloodborne. ~ Reviewed by Reilly Hadden

A little on the spooky side, this graphic novel is a must-read realistic-fantasy adventure. Esteban and Tristan can enter the nightmare of fellow teenagers. The two find what is frightening the dreamer and help them face their fears. However, that is just the surface. There are secrets, people that want to stop the facility that offers this “service” and there is school and the horrors one faces there. The artwork is something that must be experienced as it is both quaint, not very colorful, crowded, but rightly detailed. The adventures come alive on the pages because of their complimenting the text. ~ Reviewed by Jeanette
