Review: 
I knew that I wanted to read this graphic novel once I learned that it was werewolves eating abusive boys. I didn't really need any further details, I just bought the book.

One thing I want to mention about this book is that I thought the art was gorgeous. It was a nice blend of beautifully drawn and dark. It helped enhance the emotions and vibes of the book.

The characters were quite interesting. They had an interesting dynamic especially since I often personally found myself having difficulties figuring out whether they were being genuine or not. It was nice that the girls weren't just cruel. They're rough, but they also have some good parts to them. I didn't really find myself overly attached to any of the characters, but that doesn't mean that they were bad.

Considering I wasn't overly attached to any of the characters I was pleasantly surprised by how drawn into the story I was. I loved reading it and was constantly enthralled in the plot and what was going on with these characters. It kept me wondering and waiting to see whether they would eventually run into some trouble. I quite enjoyed it!

I feel like I have more to say about this book, I just can't seem to find the words for it. I really enjoyed it. The art was gorgeous, the characters were interesting enough, and I quite liked the interactions between the various members of the group.
